What a weekend!

Phil Goff from Phil Goff

I hope you all had a fantastic Auckland Anniversary Weekend, and enjoyed our city's stunning natural environment. I saw some very busy beaches and parks as I made my way around to a number of events, and it was great to see Aucklanders making the most of the sunshine.

I hope you all had a fantastic Auckland Anniversary Weekend, and enjoyed our city's stunning natural environment. I saw some very busy beaches and parks as I made my way around to a number of events, and it was great to see Aucklanders making the most of the sunshine.

I was lucky enough to watch the Black Caps thrilling victory over the Aussies at Eden Park yesterday, and to meet cricketing legend Sir Richard Hadlee. It was a real pleasure!

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
