Buffet Breakfast or similar? - Harmony Circle

Paula from Snells Beach & Mahurangi East

The Bridgehouse do these fabulous buffet breakfasts for groups of 30+. Something for us to aim for?? What a lovely way this could be to get to know other like-minded people in our area..... all we need is 30+ people for this one BUT no reason why we couldn't do it on a smaller scale elsewhere … View moreThe Bridgehouse do these fabulous buffet breakfasts for groups of 30+. Something for us to aim for?? What a lovely way this could be to get to know other like-minded people in our area..... all we need is 30+ people for this one BUT no reason why we couldn't do it on a smaller scale elsewhere too.
A recent (really good) suggestion is we could have Harmony Circle 'Eat Out's' - every now and again we choose a place to go and have lunch or dinner and just turn up and enjoy!
May be there's a picnic option in there too....
Thoughts are welcome! 💜

We'll be having all sorts of different ideas - if you are on Facebook please 'LIKE' our Harmony Circle page

to be kept informed on updates, ideas and more.
If not on Facebook then send us your email address (and name) on here or text it to 027 239 9182 and we can put you on the email list for updates and events etc.

Two salmon products are being recalled because they may contain listeria.

The New Zealand King Salmon Co. Ltd has recalled a specific batch of its Southern Ocean brand New Zealand King Salmon Smoked Pieces and Regal Marlborough King Salmon brand Cold Smoked Salmon which may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

The affected batch is coded with M362D or M362N. The recall did not apply to any other Regal Marlborough or Southern Ocean brand products.

Consumers are being asked to check batch numbers and not consume the affected salmon, which was sold 200g and 500g vacuum packs.

The recall was a precautionary measure after test results for a single sample in the affected batch suggested it contained listeria. Read more here.

Revolutionary leader Nelson Mandela – known by his tribe as Madiba – would have been 100 this year. In celebration of his birthday and his legacy, a compelling new stage show, Madiba the Musical – a Celebration of Nelson Mandela is coming to Auckland.

This international production is interwoven with stories of the fight against apartheid and forbidden love in a troubled land. The musical pays tribute to New Zealand and the dramatic part it played in bringing an end to apartheid.

We have 10 double passes to give away to the show Madiba, the musical, which will take place on January 25 at the Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna. Like or thank this post to go into the draw.
