Child safety gate

Sarah from Tawa

Anyone got an old one of these wooden child safety gates they no longer want? Any condition will do as we'll cut to size and hinge to the wall. Would also be interested in a child safety gate for a fireplace if you have one? Our son just started crawling so time to seriously childproof! 😂

This Saturday the Tawa Lions Market at Outlet City will be open from 9am to 2pm, featuring our regular Fruit and Vege vendor along with our own Lions stall with eggs and honey. We also feature a bookstall weather-permitting. There may well be other stalls on the day.

We will have honey stocks of creamed Clover, Bush and Manuka/Bush, along with liquid (runny) Meadow and Manuka/Bush. Our 600g pots of Manuka/Bush come in at $3.00 per 100g and our 900g pots (everything else) come in at $1.76 per 100g - great value when compared to supermarket prices and such good quality that Helen puts her phone number on every label.

We also have stocks of jams that we sell on behalf of Suzette from Idle Kitchen.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City in providing the venue for our Market.

Welcome to the Murder House, a deliciously dark comedy with bite sees a gang of death-row convicts set free from Auburn Prison for one wild night to tell the tragic tale of their hero, the man who invented the electric chair.

Based on a true story, the play speaks of a divided world where faith is more powerful than fact and shame drives a hard bargain. The fictional injection of real Indian scientist Chandra Bose, whose world-leading research into electricity was ahead of its time, gives an Indian Ink twist to the telling. Welcome to the Murder House features comedy, puppetry, live music, song and dance to entertain and delight whilst recounting a powerful, tragic and moving tale.

Jacob Rajan returns to the stage with a stellar cast, in Indian Ink’s biggest ever extravaganza. Experience a night of naughty fun that will leave you to decide who the real villains are.

26 May – 10 June

Bee keeping

Lloyd from Tawa

Hi

We have a bee hive and the bee keeping who used to look after it is no longer available.

We are looking for some support as we grow our skills to support it ourselves.

Any bee 🐝 keepers around Tawa who could give us some help?

We are happy to pay for time and travel.
