The weather forecast for tomorrow is looking good so shopping at Tawa Lions Saturday Market at Outlet City will be a great place to spend time stocking up your fresh veges, eggs, honey and various produce and products from local community stalls on the day.

Councillor Malcolm Sparrow has promised to be there from 11 am for an hour or so to promote and sell 200 litre water tanks as a household disaster emergency water supply. Profits go to charity.

This week our Honey Stall will have Creamed Meadow, in addition to Liquid and Creamed Bush. We also have our usual range of eggs, along with some supplies of jam from Suzette at Idle Kitchen, all while stocks last so come early to avoid disappointment.

Profits from this market go to the Tawa Lions Charitable Trust, supporting worthy local causes.

If you have any questions about our market feel free to ask the folks under the white canopy beside the Tawa Lions van on the day, or email tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City over the past 11+ years of operation.

Is it OK for cafes to turn away mums with prams?

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.

A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.

Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)
