A tougher level 1 ...what are your thoughts?

Michelle from Waikanae Beach

A couple of weeks ago I flew to the south island and back, after being caught in traffic and running to board the plane I suddenly realised that I hadn't put my mask on, then realised that only 1 older person on the plane wore a mask ...this was before the mandatory mask use on planes and tighter rules were mandated.
However on my return trip I felt that if I was to wear a mask people would judge me (thinking I was sick and shouldn't be on the plane) and the chances of getting covid was virtually zero, so I didn't ...but as proven in the past , theres always that chance. I am pleased that it is now mandentory as I do think others may have thought the same.
Now I have noticed that no one uses the covid tracing app when going into the local shopping mall...perhaps living in Kapiti it is easy to assume we are safe ...I understand there are some shops in Auckland that won't let you in unless you sign in or use the app ...maybe this is a good thing, or maybe it should be mandated too, to prevent further lockdowns?
Interested to know your thoughts ...no conspiracy theories please, thanks

Save Te Horo Hall fundraiser

Julie from Otaki District

I am running a scavenger/treasure hunt, car rally event on 26th May to raise funds for the refurbishments needed to make the Te Horo Community Hall earthquake resilient.
Directions are given to follow a route and clues to identify markers along the way. There will also be a list of items to collect along the route.
This is intended as a family activity, although not exclusive; a group of friends would have equally as much fun. The cost is $40 per car; all funds go to the cause.
It would be really helpful to get an idea of numbers interested in this event. Please let me know, no commitment required, if this is of interest to you.

Missing Playgroup Slide

Kate Neighbourly Lead from Raumati Beach

Missing! Our playgroup slide! The slide belongs to the Kapiti Uniting Parish, Raumati Church at 10 Weka Road, Raumati Beach. The last time it went missing it was found at Weka Park. Have you seen it? Or if you have taken it by accident, can you please return it. The preschoolers missed it this morning. Thank you!
