Please join us to watch the film “Tomorrow” (“Demain”)
Date: Tuesday 12 February, at 7.30 pm.
Venue: Alicetown Community Centre, 38 Victoria Street, Alicetown, Lower Hutt.
We will show and talk about this documentary in two one-hour segments, over two consecutive Tuesdays (12 and 19 February)
This documentary shows beautiful solutions adopted by communities across a number of countries to some of the problems of industrial agriculture, fossil fuel consumption, and social and environmental degradation which have created our current climate emergency, and are rapidly putting the health and wellbeing of ourselves and all other species at risk.
The two halves of the documentary do not depend on each other – they just show different solutions to different parts of the problem. So, if you can only make one of the two evenings, you won’t be missing key arguments or threads, just some of the wonderful solutions shown.
You can see the official trailer for the documentary at www.youtube.com.......
And you can indicate your interest or attendance on our Facebook page www.facebook.com......
Come along watch the film, share the group discussion and have a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Any questions please phone Juanita McKenzie on 021422542.

Want a Slice of Convenience?

Mainland NZ

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.

Flymo petrol lawnmower

Margaret from Paparangi

Has anyone got a free or cheap flymo petrol lawnmower hanging around not being used. I have a tricky section for a normal lawnmower and I seem to have a knack for cutting through the power cords of the electric ones!

Funky Retro dirt

Jess from Johnsonville

I have a load of fill. The house is from the late 60's/early 70's so this is genuine retro dirt. As you would expect from retro soil, there are loads of brown and orange colours due to J'ville clay (orange) and some top soil mixed in (brown). To top of the retro feel, there are a few… View moreI have a load of fill. The house is from the late 60's/early 70's so this is genuine retro dirt. As you would expect from retro soil, there are loads of brown and orange colours due to J'ville clay (orange) and some top soil mixed in (brown). To top of the retro feel, there are a few terracotta edging tiles too, see pic. Currently the house is smoke free but I can't be sure what happened in the 70's. It is in used condition and currently has some great indoor, outdoor flow, mostly outdoor. Uncertified vegan and organic.

Pick up is from Johnsonville and is easy access for trailer or small truck. You can back right up to it.
