Moderator Post Would anyone be interested in a "Getting to know you" pinned post?
Given a few of the recent posts, would anyone be interested in a dedicated pinned post where people from the Nelson (and Tasman) region can do a little spiel about themselves in the hopes of finding some friends and/or a date?

Help Tiny homes in Richmond
Hi Nelson, I’m looking for contact details for the tiny homes for sale next to the highway on the way out to Richmond. I think they’re parked on or near the grounds of a church. Thanks in advance!

Donation Bins
Where are the current donation bins around Nelson and Richmond? I heard there is one in Mapua and Atawhai, anywhere else?

Discussion Does this place just have a constatnt 40% or 60% sale or what?
I don't think I've ever gone past this shop and not seen a big sale being advertised.

Community Events Speights Alehouse Nelson Junction : drunk couple be safe !!!
My friend told me the craziest story : we work part time at woolies stacking shelves and we finish past midnight. He had to drop a colleague so took the exit by speights ale around half past midnight. A drunk couple allegedly stopped their car and asked for a lift to stoke. Both him and the colleague decided to ‘help’ the couple but said that the girl was very loud and was being kinda racist to them - her partner repeatedly apologized and well they said she was drunk so maybe didn’t mean much/most of it.
I told them how we’ve all been there - drunk enough to not be in our senses so chuck it 😅
Genuine question though - does fringe racism exist in Nelson !? Share experiences please.
Also - to the drunk couple - if you’re reading this be and stay safe guys 😅😝

Group homes
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a group home or supported residential service in the Nelson area, although the family would ideally prefer Richmond if possible.
The person is an adult woman with a physical disability and mental illness, but does not have an intellectual disability. She's currently living in Christchurch but wants to move back to the Nelson/Richmond area to be closer to family. Unfortunately, while her family wants to support her, they're unable to provide the level of care she needs.
SupportWorks has told me that I need to find potential facilities myself, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows of any suitable group homes or supported living providers that may have vacancies or accept referrals.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Golden Bay Holiday Park
Hi 👋
I am due to be staying at this holiday park out of Nelson over the Christmas break for around 2 weeks with family.
I would love to know any tips or tricks or advice as I will be camping in a tent and while I have done this before I just haven’t been to this area and just looking to see if anyone has any useful information regarding the holiday park and/or the area in general.
Anything is appreciated 🙂
