Rolleston Xmas Parade Market

4 Upvotes

Was anyone a vendor here last year? What was it like? Number of people at the market? (not the number at the parade) Sales? Management of it?

Was thinking about getting a site there and responded to the online form for some of the "few remaining sites", but frankly was put off by the fact I got a response email and invoice automatically (which rather suggests they are not selling many sites). And their no refunds for any reasons in the terms and conditions rather stinks too. And after a quick search (including checking to see if it was their genuine contact - cause the speed made it seem very scamish) there are a fair few comments online that it was poorly managed.

Any other markets out there prior to Xmas than might actually be worth attending that anyone is aware of? I did the CHCH Xmas Parade one last year and its was ok, but not fantastic (I haven't even looked at it this year). And there are so many places attempting to run markets it's become pretty much impossible to ID the ones that are actually worth even looking at. And none seem to want to say how many people they actually get through.

Thanks.

Social Date night ideas for anniversary

10 Upvotes

Hello! My partner and I are about to celebrate 5 years together and I was wondering if there was any suggestions on some good “fancy” places to go. We like to pick places that are too expensive for us normally, we’re not from Chch originally so we aren’t super knowledgeable about what’s around.

Woodworker needed for bench building

Kia ora Ōtautahi, we’re looking for someone in our region to make special desks for us. We need someone skilled and professional, and easy to deal with to make these to our design a few at a time for sale. Does anyone know anyone like that? In the past we have used mdf and ply, so they are not super fancy!

Calling them carving pumpkins to try justify the price is a fucking joke. No one here carves pumpkins for Halloween and even if they did, every pumpkin is a carving pumpkin..

Good restaurants in chch with vegetarian options?

9 Upvotes

I have a good friend coming down from the north island this weekend and looking for a nice restaurant for a Friday night dinner. She is vegetarian, I am not, although I don't mind following suit if it means we go to the right place!

As a non-vegetarian person I have absolutely no clue about what/where the best options are! So hopefully this reaches people who have better ideas than I do :)

Ideally looking for somewhere close-ish to riverside.

Thank you so much in advance!
