We're trying to ensure that the knowledge that Golden Micro Solutions Ltd has a mobile Automated Emergency Defibrillator (AED) available to loan to event organisers in Marlborough on a short term basis stays current and available, and doesn't get forgotten about.

To this end, I've attached to this message a small 'poster' that can be printed and pinned on walls or notice boards if you think it worthwhile and/or relevant (within the context of your business or organisation) to do so.

Full details about the AED can be found on our web site: www.golden.co.nz...

Please feel free to pass this info on to anyone in Marlborough who you think may find it useful.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.
