Marlborough New Zealand - Regional Information

05/04/2013

Update: 8 December 2012.

Christmas is just around the corner, as most people will be aware by now with all the Christmas advertising and decorations, and in case you missed it otherwise, Blenheim held it's annual Christmas parade this afternoon. The weather might have been overcast, but there was still a good turnout, and plenty of opportunity for families to enjoy themselves. A lot of the entries in the parade represented various clubs and volunteer groups that are active in Blenheim. If you're not sure what to do with yourself, you should check out some of these groups. If you are one of these non-profit groups, and want people to know about you, you're entitled to a free listing in Marlborough Online's directory, so contact Marlborough Online with your details.

Update: 10 November 2012.

Spring is heading on towards summer, and as the weather starts to warm up, outdoor events and festivals are getting into full swing in Marlborough. Today is the annual A & P Show, complete with animals, rides, wood chopping, and more. Sunday is the Garden Marlborough Fête in Seymour Square, and of course the longer days and warmer weather are a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the Marlborough Sounds or take the kids to Pollard Park.

From time to time, newsworthy information is published, as is commentary on issues affecting the region, however as Marlborough Online is not a source of income, the site gets updated when there is time.
