Indian summer gathering: <\/strong>The local Neighbours\u2019 Day at Te Kawakawa Commons is finally happening this Sunday, April 10 (now the reservoir has been drained). Te Kawakawa Commons, up the hill behind the bus stop near 46 Hornsey Road, is a community vegetable garden and native planting project with a micro climate and views out over Lyall Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Activities, including demos on how to build a bee hotel and creative ideas for using pallets, will start at 11 am and wind down about 2 pm. There will be entertainment for the kids and yummy food, plus of course the chance to catch up with neighbours and meet any new arrivals in the community. If the weather is bad we will relocate to the Community Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local Economy: <\/strong>Following communications on the community Facebook page Caroline Stone made contact and commented \u201cI\u2019m a member of the Wellington South TimeBank and wondering if the TimeBank might be able to help with a buy\/sell exchange. I\u2019d be happy to talk about TimeBank if there was interest in an event at the hall sometime. Let me know what you think?\u201d<\/em> What do YOU think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n More Coffee? <\/strong>Grant from Hungerford Rd reports two final year design students from the WelTec Creative Technologies course are designing a mobile coffee shop that would be suitable for our conditions. Their project will take until mid-year to develop a workable design; we will keep you posted and include designs in future newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Testing the waters:<\/strong> Local people have expressed interest in an evening Yoga class, with Wednesdays at 7.30 pm the only time the hall is available. Please contact Julie so she can determine of there are sufficient numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On at the Hall: <\/strong>Attached is a snapshot of the kind of activities running at the hall. The biggest offer is Dance but there are also Yoga classes and Martial Arts. Koha coffee and table tennis runs every Saturday morning and that\u2019s a good time to drop in with any ideas for more activities.
