A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!

All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.
Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.
Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.

This weekend on Saturday at The Onslow Cricket Clubrooms (Nairnville Park) join us over a drink and a chat to remember Nick Bray who passed away suddenly on 15 November in Auckland.
Nick Bray was local who grew up in Khandallah joined the Onslow Cricket after leaving Scots College in 1987.
Playing in a lower grade team .....bunch of mates wanting have some fun while playing cricket for the local club. The next few years was great fun and really shaped some long standing friendships.
Nick was the captain and wicketkeeper/batsman.
Nick was a loyal club man. The clubrooms was an important part of the day and Nick made us all know supporting the club was a key part of playing for Onslow. Often the day was a long one! He had a great likable nature about him and was sadly missed when he moved to Auckland in the 90's but Onslow was never far from his heart.
Sat 1 November from 6pm - Nairnville Park upstairs.
