How to be part of The Biggest Little Frock Swap in Waikanae Beach!
1. Message or email us to reserve your ticket. We’ll send you the bank account details to deposit money. Once deposited, we’ll send you your ticket and the drop off addresses. Note: your space isn’t guaranteed until we have received payment. Now, let the fun begin!

2. The next step is to declutter your wardrobe. We’ve all got items that aren’t past their “use by” date, yet we never wear. Maybe we’ve lost or gained a few kilos, or we never have the right occasion. And we’ve all fallen guilty to that impulse buy that never sees the light of day.

If this seems a little daunting, invite that one friend around to make a night of it. You’ll need wine, a full length mirror and chocolate to really embrace this process.

3. Ensure your swaps are in good condition (no holes, stains, broken zips, etc). They should be clean and recently ironed (if necessary). Then drop them off to one of the drop-off points at LEAST one week prior to the Frock Swap.

POINTERS:

1. Your items don’t have to be frocks (any item of clothing is accepted, and accessories such as hats, jewelry, scarfs, bag and shoes are also welcome).

2. Your items don’t have to be “designer” – we’ll accept everything from The Warehouse to World, Kmart to Karen Walker!

3. There is no set number of items you need to donate, but we recommend 3+, so that we have a good selection for you to shop from.

4. The number of items you donate is not linked to the number you can free shop (frop?) on the night.

Almost a quarter of young people say the older generations should help first-home buyers into the property market, a new survey shows.

Westpac NZ polled 1000 people about their opinion on parents assisting their children into their first homes.

It found widespread acceptance of the idea: More than half the parents said they would loan money interest-free and only 38 per cent would expect it to be paid back.

Further to our Friday update, we wanted to inform you on what caused the contamination in the inner Wellington Harbour.
A fat blockage in the pipes along Brandon St was sending wastewater into the stormwater line via a constructed overflow. This was located and cleared on June 12.
Investigations also found wastewater joints that had come apart under Queens Wharf, which were attended to by June 15.

If washed down the sink, fats and oils can build up in our pipes causing blockages. It’s best to wait for fats and oils to cool then wipe them into the bin.
