We’d love to introduce Oh Sew Eazy, a new fabric, yarn and craft store opening this Labour Weekend. For Janice, this venture has always been about more than just opening a shop. She wants to create a real creative community — somewhere people can meet, share ideas, learn from each other and feel welcome whether they’ve been crafting for years or are just starting out. The shop is coming together now, stock is arriving and we’re starting to plan classes, workshops and plenty more. We’re not open for sales just yet, but if you’re walking along Pollen Street and see the door open, come in and say hello. We’d love to meet you, have a chat and hear what you’d like to see at Oh Sew Eazy. And if you can’t pop in yet, please follow Oh Sew Eazy on Facebook to watch it all come together and keep up with what’s happening before opening day.

Thames Environmental Alliance
We have an expert Privet Trial Plan. Now we need funding to make it happen, and we need your help. This work isn’t just about restoring native biodiversity. It’s about the community wellbeing too. Many of you have told us about the intensity of privet flowering and the impact it’s having on your health. We’ve listened. Community support is essential. It’s a prerequisite for securing co-funding. Funders want to see that this matters locally. Every dollar raised shows that support. It strengthens our case and helps unlock larger funding. So if you can give a little or a lot, now is the time. Head over to Givealittle and donate today.

'Beyond Gold'
- a new book from Russell Skeet
A decade in the making, Russell Skeet's retelling of the story of John Read, founder of the iconic Read Bros Hardware, melds biography with history and serves as a valuable and fascinating story of the post-colonial development of Thames.
"I hope this story about John Read, a timber merchant, may add to readers' interest in the history of Thames - the business economy based on gold mining, timber, shipping, plus the connections between business and community leaders in the early years of the town. May this story inspire others to take a personal interest in their whakapapa (genealogy) and turangawaewae (ancestral home)."
- Russell Skeet.
