New play opening soon at the Octagon Theatre

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good people

If you're fans of theatre, you might like to catch the heart warming play, The Illiterate Book Club that's coming to the Octagon Theatre.

It's the story of a group of friends who love books but who can't read - because they never have the time.

But they start a book club anyway and come up with other ways to soak up their favourite stories.

And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Evening shows are: June 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
Dinner and show is $55 and show only is $30.

Matinees are: Sunday June 4th & 11th
Lunch and show $45. Show only $30.

Tickets are now available at www.octagontheatre.nz...
Or book through Craniums, ph 09 438 4406

Hope to see you there.

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
