Wanted:
Stallholders offering
locally produced,
quality products
Thames Rotary and Goldfields have teamed up to develop a monthly farmers market located in the heart of Thames.
Currently the two organisations are seeking interest from parties that may wish to establish a stall at the proposed market.As a fund-raiser for the Rotary Club of Thames, all proceeds from the market will be returned to community projects.Those behind the concept said the focus will be on locally produced quality products. Food and beverages will headline the market while consideration will be given to other items which will enhance the market experience.Rotary Club spokesperson Susanna Kruger said both the club and Goldfields want to provide an opportunity for local producers to display and sell from market stalls to residents and visitors.She said Goldfields provided a central location along with the opportunity of the market not being impacted by weather as it could be housed indoors if required.“The thing for us now is to determine potential stallholders and have discussions with them to get them on board.“Market day will be the last Sunday of each month with stalls being open from 9am to Noon.“We believe this is an excellent opportunity not just for Thames, but our entire region. We have taken consideration from other successful Farmer’s Markets throughout New Zealand and believe Thames, the Coromandel Peninsula and Hauraki Plains is perfect when considering our many localproducers combined with support from our residents and visitors.“Quality and fun are two key drivers for us,” said Susanna.Rotary and Goldfields now want to hear from any producers who are interested in finding out more and potentially having a stall at the market.Those interested can contact Susanna Kruger at 0275389789 or [email protected] orJohn Freer at 0274839426 or [email protected]
We are looking for stall holders and vendors for our new Waitakaruru market held at the Waitakaruru community hall on the last Saturday of each month from 9 - 1. Stall fees will be $10. We are looking for everything, secondhand goods, food trucks/caravan arts, crafts. Tea and coffee will be supplied for all stall holders. If your interested in having a stall contact Bronwyn on 0224974031.
First market will be Saturday the 31st of July.
Do you have some spare produce that's free to a good home?
Feel free to drop off any extra produce you might have, and take what you need, from Thames Library's Sharing Shelf.

Thames Community Centre
One of the things we do at the Thames Community Centre is to help Thames folk to get their driver’s licenses. We fundraise to pay for lessons, defensive driving courses and license fees, we’ll also help with getting photo ID’s and other documents needed to sit the tests. The people that receive this assistance give an agreed amount of voluntary time back to the community and the centre organises this. We have people volunteering here at the centre
and with other organisations we work with.
We realised some of the learner drivers couldn’t move to restricted because they didn’t have a car or qualified driver to practice with. So thanks to Wayne Richards and Valley Toyota the centre now has a car it can use for practice and we’ve got some great fully qualified drivers
– we call them our mentors -
who will help the drivers with their practice.
We’ve just begun the first group of learners in the practice car and we are looking for more people who want to get their restricted, need some assistance and are willing to do some volunteer work. Please get in touch with the centre at [email protected] ,
or text Jeff at 0278689797
to set up an appointment at the centre.
Support your local community groups!
We are building a Donations Page,

support the work you do.

Twenty seven years ago, 6th March 1994,

Mrs Pam Gwynne and her daughter Jeannie
provided planning assistance.
Today, the garden is 'tired' and in need of a revamp.
Thames Museum volunteers have accepted the challenge!

We now have a professional Teacher coming in to teach primary age and new players Brass!!!We are very excited to be starting a new junior group/band in the Kerepehi Band Hall.
We were prompted to start this group after we found a lack of access to brass lessons in the area and those who could get them were looking at the ridiculous cost of almost $30 per half hour in Hamilton. After some looking around we have been lucky to secure a professional brass teacher by the name of Clive Burnell and after a few meetings with him we have managed to sort out an hour long group lesson every Tuesday from 4:00 pm for only $8 a lesson. This is with the idea of growing this group into a junior community band by the end of the year.
We now have a professional Teacher coming in to teach primary age and new players Brass!!!
Bring whatever you're working on to the Carnegie Room at Thames Library or come along to get started. We'll be there between 10am and 12pm every Tuesday. Everyone welcome! Tea and coffee provided
