SUMMARY:Mudfest 2023
DESCRIPTION:Mount Shop Mudfest Is back!\nOver 150 + trucks have been confirmed for the 3rd annual Mudfest event. \nEntries open for any sort of vehicle/buggy/truck etc who isn't afraid of a bit of mud or lose of traction\, however\, we'd recommend 4x4 vehicles for the Course and Obstacles. Mudfestis based on the same format that's been used in the States for many years and continues to draw large numbers of spectators and entrants to each event with many vehicle owners modifying their vehicles just for this type of off-road meeting. \nIt is suitable for any 4wd vehicle from serious off-roaders to the family SUV. \nDon't have a vehicle but still want to get involved? We'll have a bike balance beam\, mudslide and other activities for kids both young and old! \nVehicles will be let loose in our 6-acre paddock so line up and let the fun begin! It is not a competition\, it is a fun\, relaxed day out. Entrants can pick and choose which activities they want to participate in on the day. Have lunch when you want and go and have a play when you’re ready. \nThe idea is not to get stuck but there is a very fine line and everyone is going to cross it no matter what their horsepower is and this is where the challenge is. \nDon't miss out!

SUMMARY:PUBLIC MEETING  - Where to from here?
DESCRIPTION:Te Awaroa Residents & Ratepayers Association Incorporated invites a public discussion. Those who have kept the Association ‘alive’ over recent years are getting on in age. \nAuckland Council has rendered Ratepayers Associations largely obsolete with everything done online and accessible to everyone individually. Facebook community pages also play a role. The recent storm events have shown that very often it is up to individuals within communities to respond. Auckland Council is not available to be relied on. \nForming an Incorporated Society requires considerable effort. The existing TARRA one could be passed to another group (change name\, amend constitution). \nIs there an appetite within the Helensville/Parakai community for an organisation representing community and business interests to liaise with/lobby both Auckland Council (Councillor\, Local Board) and North West Country (Business Association)? So often our small communities are overlooked\, even ignored. \nA meeting is to be held on Wednesday 15th March\, 7pm\, at the Catholic Church Hall in Kowhai Street\, Helensville. ALL WELCOME. Come and have your say.
