St. Margaret's, Silverstream Church Fair
St. Margaret's, Dunns Street, Silverstream are holding their annual church fair on Saturday 27 October 10.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. If you would like to donate goods - books, good used clothing, steptoe (no computers or TV's please), sort these out over the weekend and deliver them after Tuesday. Unfortunately the church does not have any storage until then. Now that we are almost back using the church building, this fair will include all the stalls we used to have 6 years ago .... crafts, linen, good china, gifts for all occasions especially Christmas. There are the usual stalls; plants, cakes, sweets, deli and of course the excellent Cafe. Thank you for your support.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
