Meat-ing expectations
Mike Newman from Meaters of Marlborough had Kaikoura MP Stuart Smith drop in to award him with his November Local Legend award. Congratuations Mike!
Drop zone notice
A new notice outside Blenheim Airport has garnered much interest online. The notice, at the drop-off zone, states “Hug, kiss & say goodbye: No kisses for more than 2 minutes please!”. Marlborough Airport says this limiting of time for kisses is to encourage people to use the newly extended free short-term parking instead of lingering in the drop-off zone.
Paw presents
Raupo Café has begun a Christmas collection for Marlborough Four Paws – pop in and donate food, toys, or any other items which would assist in their efforts over this Christmas.
Correction
In last week’s Weekly, we mistakenly said Marlborough has 17 schools. The region has 30 schools. We apologise for the confusion.
