| Spring is here! Warmer days are just around the corner, and with falling interest rates, we’re hopeful that more people will be out and about, shopping and enjoying the sunshine. It’s that time of year when a bit of fresh energy returns—so, have you thought about how your business can make the most of it? Maybe a spring promotion or some new signage? Whatever it is, now’s the time to attract new customers. As for One Mahurangi, we’re gearing up for our AGM on WED 25th September. It’ll be held in the Back Bar at the Bridgehouse, with nibbles, a cash bar to buy drinks, and a chance to catch up from 5:30pm, and the meeting kicking off at 6pm. The AGM itself is short and sweet, and it’s a great opportunity to hear what we’ve been up to over the past year. If you’re keen to get more involved in shaping what happens in our town, consider joining the committee. We’d love to have you on board! [Nomination forms here] Mark your calendars—this year’s Warkworth Santa Parade is joining forces with Carols in the Park on SAT 7th December. The parade kicks off at 2pm, followed by family-friendly games, music, food trucks, and coffee down on Baxter Street. The festivities will wrap up with Carols in the Park later in the evening at Lucy Moore Park. I’d encourage all local shops to turn it into a Market Day and make the most of the extra foot traffic. We’re also working on a big Christmas promotion to add to the fun—more on that soon.I’ve always loved this time of year. There’s something about the sunshine that lifts people’s spirits. Folks smile more, and it reminds us what a fantastic place we live in. When we all support local, shop local, employ local, and love local, we’re helping each other and making our community stronger.
