PUHOI VILLAGE MARKET’S BIG SPRING FESTIVAL THIS SUNDAY

Dear Puhoi residents and friends of our community,

Our local Seedsavers group is bringing, predictably and welcomedly, seedlings, while Sue will be sizzling her popular vegetarian samosas, the Matakantata choir will be selling bulbs as a choir fundraiser, and Puhoi’s Bohemian folk dance group will be swinging its skirts (and hitching up its trousers) in a dance performance at around 11am.

Meanwhile, Pip will be selling her bacon butties and there will be other breakfast and snack opportunities – see the market’s facebook page, www.facebook.com\puhoivillagemarket for pictures of other stallholders.

Market participators are encouraged to celebrate the new season and add colour to the market with a suitably-decorated hat, says new manager Dave Dodsworth, and please remind people on the way north to the Matakana Sunday market that Puhoi, with its own market, is a great stopping off place for riverside picknicking and food outlets such as the cheese cafe with its award-winning ice cream, Puhoi Cottage cafe with its garden setting, the Puhoi Store, which also sells food, and the Puhoi Hotel, with its Bistro.

On a more serious note, please look out, also, at the market for a Civil Defence and Neighbourhood Support stall with information and children’s workbooks on preparing ourselves and dealing with local civil emergencies and crisis management.With thanks to our Mahurangi -area CD and NS colleagues for helping us man the stall and answer your questions.

Now, I’m off to Warkworth to help the people there with their Kowhai Festival HUGE DAY OUT.

Please keep safe on the roads this weekend and pray for FINE WEATHER!

With affection, as always,Judith Williams

Register your house for Halloween Trick or Treating (v2)

Hi Everyone, last night’s email send out on this same topic contained some poorly formed links, if you had tried to click on them they might not have worked for you – Sorry.

Here’s an updated and (hopefully) working link: https://goo.gl/forms/kRKWMBNLAXOppCnq2

Chris’ updated contact link (which was also affected) is: [email protected]

Regards,

Chris.


Repeat of last night’s full email (with the links fixed):

As parents we know how difficult to get around with the kids on Halloween evening and finding a house in the Ahuroa area that actually does participate in Halloween.

So to avoid any awkward moments when the kids asks “Trick or Treat” and there is nothing but a handful of onions or Brussel sprouts, I’ve set up a form so you can register your house as a participant.

Halloween Trick or Treat Register (Google form): https://goo.gl/forms/kRKWMBNLAXOppCnq2

Just because its a form doesn’t mean you have to fill it out, it’s just making life easier for the parents being the taxi for the kids know which house to go to. If you don’t want to take part, just ignore this message and enjoy the evening anyway.

The list will be sent out on Sunday 29th October so register before then. If know one registers, then just head to Warkworth and raid those streets.

Happy Halloween!

If you have any questions, just let me know: [email protected]
