“Freedom camping sites at Wainui, Addington Park’s car park, Lower Styx River and Windsport Park, off Humphreys Dr in Ferrymead, would be closed from March 16 to May 31.

Council chief executive Karleen Edwards said the bylaw would be reviewed, but it was possible the sites would not reopen next summer.”  reported The Press.

Be sure to put your clocks forward and hour before going to be on Saturday 26th Sept 2015.

Officially the country will put its clocks forward an hour at 2am on Sunday 27th September 2015.

Day Light Savings History.

In its first year, daylight saving ran for four months, but since then it has been extended and in 2007 it was stretched out to more than seven months.

It will end on the first Sunday in April.

The changeover generally prompts reminders for people to check smoke alarms, their sunscreen regime, water use and warnings about turning up to work late.
