Our history 4

Looking back at Marlborough over the years, there have been many iconic moments in the region’s history. As we get ready to celebrate Marlborough Anniversary, the region’s founding day, the Sun Newspaper takes a look at a series of photographs representing historic events. These photographs have been provided by Graham Brooks, a retired photographer and member of the social media page ‘Old Marlborough, the way we were’. There, members regularly share photographs of

people and Marlborough events and reflect back on days gone by. The caption information has been written by retired journalist Bill McElhinney who was on hand to experience some of these events. 1. In 1973, Marlborough won the Ranfurly Shield with a 13-6 victory over Canterbury at Lancaster Park in one of the bigger upsets of an era when the Log o' Wood was the greatest prize in New Zealand rugby. It was the days before professional rugby, and the Marlborough players had to take time off work for the game and walked to the ground from their hotel on game day.

On their victorious return to Blenheim with the Shield they were greeted by thousands of jubilant supporters. The Marlborough Red Devils repelled six challenges in 1973 and 1974 before surrendering the trophy to South Canterbury 18-6. 2. Dr William Edward Redman imported Marlborough’s first car in 1902, an Oldsmobile, and he went on to set a record for the journey from Picton to Blenheim – 1 hour. The car was known locally as the ‘Snorter’ and was not popular as it scared horses with its noise. 3. The Capri Coffee Lounge was situated where First National Real Estate is now, and was the only place open after the pubs shut at 10pm. The local lads managed on several

occasions to get a small car through the front doors and into the Capri, much to the annoyance of owner Eric Collins. This time it was a little Fiat, another time they managed to get a Mini in there. 4. On July 10, 1983, a massive Wairau River flood swept through Spring Creek and Renwick but, most devastatingly, through Tuamarina after the river smashed its floodbanks just south of Kaituna Road bridge about 7am. Tuamarina residents fled in such a hurry that they couldn’t take anything with them. Cars, left behind in driveways, were caught and swept away by the force of the water or trapped under debris and fallen roofing. The flood had destroyed two homes and damaged dozens of others, killed

thousands of animals and left millions of dollars of repair work in its wake. 5. In 1973 Montana, the country’s largest wine producer, was looking to expand and eventually settled on Marlborough, a place with abundant sunshine and lots of flat land, as the place to grow. The company began developing its first vineyard – now known as Brancott Estate, in August, 1973. The land was cleared and levelled, and the first of thousands of vines was planted. At the time Montana founder, Frank Yukich, made the statement that “Wines from here will become world famous.” Then, no one took him seriously. Marlborough has now grown to be New Zealand’s largest wine producer.

1. It was a hot, sticky summer’s day in 1973 when the local Farmers went up in flames. The biggest fire in 60 years quickly engulfed the department store and damaged several nearby shops. The heat from the blaze was so intense, it melted coins in the parking meters. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

3. When the old Blenheim Post Office was demolished, Blenheim had a vacant lot which became the Village Green, and in the 1980s an attempt was made to beautify the central area of town with large stones arranged in banks.

2. Blenheim was built at the junction of two rivers as a river port, close to sea level. Blenheim's early history was one of frequent flooding until extensive river works and diversions managed to tame the Wairau River and its tributaries. A major flood took place in May, 1923, where the entire business district was covered in 121cm of water.

4. Blenheim's oldest teenager, Harry Tootle, was well known in the region for his love of music and local bands. He earned his nickname 'Bang on Harry' because it was his favourite exclamation. On hearing a local band play, he would say, "That's bang on boys!"

Marlborough’s 160th anniversary On October 4, 1859, 160 years ago in Auckland, a legal document was signed, declaring that Marlborough had become a province in its own right. Before that it was part of Nelson province, but as the early settlers on this side of the hill found, all the revenue gathered here was spent over there. “We were totally neglected ...... the Nelson Government had not expended one farthing in any way to tend to the spiritual and moral welfare of these districts.” - (William Adams, Nelson Examiner, 1859.) In 1857 settler, solicitor and farmer William Adams of Langley Dale, joined the first separation meeting held at John Godfrey’s Wairau Hotel in Renwick, now the site of the Renwick Bowling Club. William was elected chairman and C F Watts moved that “the Province be divided and the bound-

ary lie east and south of the Pelorus River, thence along the main dividing range to the Southern limits of the province.” After two years of agitation and campaigning for a fair deal for Marlborough landowners, the Separationists, which included many well known names of the day, dispatched William Adams (Eton and Oxford educated barrister), to Auckland, then the capital. He arrived by steamer in Auckland on September 24, to deliver a 213-signature petition and to lobby the General Assembly. “ ... I presented the petition and was in attendance at the Government Offices every day until the 4th October when the Order in Council was signed making this a new province under the name of Marlborough to come into effect on November 7, 1859.” (Nelson Examiner, Dec 31 1859). The anniversary of Marlborough

has been celebrated on the first Saturday of November ever since. To commemorate 160 years since this momentous event and as a mark of respect for our founding fathers, Marlborough Mayor John Leggett, councillors and executive staff, visited

Langley Dale on October 4, to join William’s descendants and current owners Simon and Lorraine Adams to celebrate and reflect on the origins of the province. A rose was planted in memory of the occasion.

MGC’s top students named By Aimee O’Hagan It wa s a huge n ig ht for Marlborough Girls’ College year 13 graduates, Sophie Woodhouse and Kylie Linthwaite, at the annual MGC senior academic prizegiving on Wednesday evening. The two friends were a mixture of “overwhelmed”, “surprised”, and “proud” to find out that Sophie had won the supreme award of Dux for 2019 and Kylie had achieved the title of Proxime Accessit, runner-up to the Dux. A top student across many different subjects, Sophie received first in subject in year 13 for Classical Studies (receiving the Athene Cup for Classical Studies) and English 301 (MGC English Cup), first equal for French (Gillian Hodgets Cup for Excellence in French), and second in Mathematics with Calculus. Kylie achieved first in subject for Economics, second in Accounting, second in Classical Studies, second equal in English, and fourth in Mathematics with Calculus. In addition to this, she was awarded the Social Science Trophy for Excellence in Social Sciences. Both students have plans to go to Victoria University next year, with Sophie set to study a Bachelor of Arts majoring in French, and Kylie a conjoint degree of Law and Commerce, majoring in accounting and finance. The pair are excited for what is to come but also sad that their

high school years are almost completely over. When asked about the highlights of their five years at MGC, both say that the teachers were their favourite part of college life, particularly in year 13. For Kylie, another positive was acting as the deputy head librarian at the school library. “I got [to spend my time in] that fun realm. “It was actually a really good time!” Both say they enjoyed taking part in house events. “Being the Opaoa house prefect this year was really cool because it’s always been something I’ve really wanted to do,” Sophie smiles. “Just the fact that I got it – and pulled it off – was a big highlight.” The pair have plenty of advice for younger students wishing to follow in their footsteps. For Sophie, the key to success is “surrounding yourself with people that will both challenge and support you”. Kylie agrees, saying it’s “important to bounce off of one another”. “The best way to do well is to get friends that also do really well!” Kylie laughs.

“My advice is don’t over complicate your life – know your limits.” “Your mental health is important, not just your academics,” Sophie adds. “Be persistent... Not every mis-

step is going to completely ruin your chances, so take your failures as learning opportunities.” A full list of results for MGC senior academic prizegiving will be published at a later date.

Lighting up the stage

By Aimee O’Hagan For Marlburians interested in theatre, it’s common knowledge Brought to you by: that the Nelson Arts Festival has recently brought a wide range of stage shows to Blenheim’s ASB Picton & Marlborough Sounds Theatre. 027 432 5718 | anne@firstnational.co ‘Mr Red Light’ – which was presented at the venue last Friday www.firstnational.co evening – is part of that group. It’s a one act play that tells the story of when a hapless robber (who, funnily enough, goes by the nickname of ‘Mr Red Light’) holds two unlucky customers – Eva and Chrys – and store employee – Joker – hostage at a New Zealand pie shop. Throughout the time they are imprisoned inside the store, the four, very different characters begin to bond – finding out so much more about each other than they would have ever thought was Breast Prosthesis and Mastectomy Braspossible.

able at the shop and the lighting outside the shop gets darker and darker as time goes on. For me, the only thing that let down the production was the chaotic plot. The strangeness of the storyline was fine by itself, but when the

action got intense and the actors speech became somewhat garbled and inaudible, I got a little confused. However, the positives of the show outshone this tiny letdown, and it’s safe to say Mr Red Light gets a green light from me.

The problem with alcohol By community constable Russ Smith While it’s often used as a large part of socialising and as a means of relaxing and forgetting the stresses of the week, alcohol is also one of the biggest contributors towards destroying relationships and causing harm. Blenheim Police dealt with a series of alcohol fuelled incidents over the long weekend including a verbal dispute at a bar that resulted in a patron being knocked unconscious and hospitalised, intoxicated patrons behaving badly, more than a dozen family harm incidents and several instances of drink-driving. Police constantly see the harm that alcohol contributes towards, and have some simple mes-

sages that can make drinking a more pleasant and less harmful leisure time activity: • Stay with the friends you started the night with • Look after your mates, don’t let them wander off, especially if they are intoxicated • Have something substantial to eat, preferably earlier in the night • Drink something non-alcoholic between drinks to reduce the effects of alcohol • Have a plan for getting home safely, don’t walk by yourself • If a friend is becoming intoxicated and obviously unable to look after themselves, arrange to get them home. Don’t leave them to become a victim.

He korero no te Kaunihera o Wairau NEWS FROM THE MARLBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL

Meet your new Councillors New Councillors elected on 12 October have started their term of office. David Croad and Thelma Sowman (Blenheim Ward), Barbara Faulls (Marlborough Sounds Ward) and Francis Maher (Wairau-Awatere Ward) join Mayor John Leggett and nine re-elected councillors. David Croad David has lived in Blenheim for 38 years and has over 25 years of business ownership and management experience. In 2013 he semi-retired from his business to create more time for family and recreation including his passion for the Marlborough Sounds and all things boating. Thelma Sowman Thelma has lived in Blenheim for most of her life and has extensive business and governance knowledge after spending time managing radio stations and as a director of her family’s exporting business. Thelma has also been a trustee on various local voluntary organisations, including the Nelson/Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust, First Light Foundation and the

Marlborough Heritage Trust. When she isn’t working Thelma enjoys cycling, yoga and gardening. Barbara Faulls Barbara grew up in Linkwater and after studying, travelling and working overseas she returned home and joined the New Zealand Army as a Regular Force Officer. After serving for just over 6 years, Barbara and her husband were lured back to Linkwater where they run a holiday park. Barbara has volunteered on a number of committees over the years and is currently a trustee of the Link Pathway, Destination Marlborough and Holiday Parks New Zealand. Francis Maher Francis returns after a six year break, having previously served as a Councillor for 15 years. Francis is passionate about the environment and farming. During his time away from Council he has spent time working on projects, including an extensive native plant restoration programme on his family farms.

Marlborough founding commemorated at Langley Dale Railing against the injustice of the district’s resources being drained for the benefit of Nelson, in 1857 settler, solicitor and farmer William Adams of Langley Dale joined the first separation meeting held at John Godfrey’s Wairau Hotel in Renwick, now the site of the Renwick Bowling Club. William was elected chairman and C F Watts moved that “the Province be divided and the boundary lie east and south of the Pelorus River, thence along the main dividing range to the Southern limits of the province.” After the passing of the New Provinces Bill, which opened the way for separation, William (Eton and Oxford educated), was dispatched to Auckland, then the capital, at the behest of his fellow committee

members. He arrived by steamer in Auckland on September 24, to deliver a 213-signature petition and to lobby the General Assembly. “ ... .I presented the petition and was in attendance at the Government Offices every day until the 4th October when the Order in Council was signed making this a new province under the name of Marlborough to come into effect on November 7, 1859.” (Nelson Examiner, Dec 31 1859) On October 4, 2019, 160 years to the day, Marlborough Mayor John Leggett, councillors and staff, visited historic Langley Dale house to join William’s descendants and current owners Simon and Lorraine to commemorate the founding of the Marlborough province in 1859.

The local community has been working with the Council on a Small Township Plan for improving outdoor public spaces in Renwick. As part of this process, the community developed a vision to create “a village in the heart of the wine country,” with planter boxes, wine barrels, a village green and the little park on High Street for people to pause, rest and reflect. The next project is designed to improve the walking and cycling links around the village and encourage vehicles to slow down and hopefully stop for a while. The plan also involves a safe crossing for pedestrians and street gardens. The gardens will be constructed after the water main upgrade is finished in High Street.

Construction on the next phase of the Town Branch Drain stormwater network upgrade, part of the Council’s infrastructure upgrade of Blenheim, is underway. The main task is construction of an 80m buried stormwater culvert running south along Redwood Street from Muller Road. The new culvert will go east across Redwood Street and along the channel of the Town Branch Drain for about 70m. The culvert will be built between late January and June 2020. Onsite excavation works are underway to confirm the depth and location of existing services, such as power and water supply, before some of these

services are relocated to allow for the construction of the culvert. This work is planned to be completed before Christmas. Council Infrastructure Projects Engineer Brett Walker says during construction, the water mains in the area will be shut down at times. “The number of shutdowns will be kept to a minimum and residents will be provided with notice prior to each one,” Brett says. “If possible, residents should plan their journey to avoid the area during the works,” Brett says. If access is restricted to properties, residents will be advised in advance.

The Sun No Fast Charge? I was astounded, (and a bit concerned) that there was no Fast Charge outlet in Picton for my EV, especially with all the traffic that disgorges from the ferries... Thankfully I had just enough to get home to Blenheim - by the skin of my teeth.

Whose job? Pot holes still not fixed Picton to Blenheim. Whose job to fix?

Money tree Re: can’t complain. Council does what it wants anyway. They have their own agenda. We are only the money tree.

No need Heading to Blenheim last week, we caught up with a car at Okaramio. The road was dry. It was doing a nice steady 80. Oncoming traffic meant no chance to pass. Just shows there is no need to reduce the speed limit to 80.

Let driving distract you from your phone

Keep it up

Nice to see

Congratulations to Jamie Arbuckle for his attitude towards “closed council meetings”. If ratepayers’ money is being spent they have a right to know where. Time Blenheim/Marlboroughs’ “old boys (and old ladies) association” council members became more realistic about what our district needs. Keep it up Jamie you have many supporters.

Act of Kindness witnessed at Countdown Blenheim midday Thursday 17th when an older lady was having card issues at the checkout and a young man stepped up and made the payment for her. So nice to see.

New Library How dare our Mayor tell us how great our new library will be when Picton locals and visitors can’t drive around roundabout at Dublin St & along Dublin St without destroying our suspension. Surely water, sewage & roads come before low percentage population usage projects.

More factors Speed limit Blen/Nelson. Crazy. Vehicles nowadays get asthma on open roads if they don’t go 100ks. More sensible to drop speed limit in town. 50ks too fast. Lower to 40ks. There are more factors on open roads for people getting killed than 100ks speed limit. Stupid passing, tail gating, definitely riding white line & cutting corners, to name a few. Cars nowadays buckle when you lean on them let alone hitting something. Of course there are more fatalities with the “****” we are driving .

Dangerous drivers Sat on park bench at intersection of Murphys and Old Renwick Roads while out walking. Within 10 minutes 10 out of 15 vehicles failed to STOP at compulsory Stop signs. I would love our “revenue collectors” there on a regular basis and take money off these potential killers.

Legal system New ‘P’ law. Now addicts can avoid prison for theft, burglary, robbery, deaths, claiming obsession etc. But worse, ‘poor’ (yeah right) criminals, and even fund manager/addict can get a free ‘high’ on us, wet bus ticket from court and we get a ‘hit’ for life. No longer a justice system only a legal system! Another gram darling? SPECTATORS WELCOME

So lovely to be able to take our dogs into town. Long may it last and should stop a lot of people leaving dogs in hot cars this summer.

A joke

Not the case

What a joke logging truck sisters. We’ve yet to see any logging truck pull over between Havelock and Blenheim or anywhere else for that matter.

I do hope that The Marlborough District Council will lift the dog ban in the town’s CBD permanently. I have noticed that during this month of October with the ban having been lifted for a trial period, that there actually have been very few dogs in town and most of the time none at all. So, so much for the criticism shown by some people saying that the town will be over run with dogs. This is simply not the case.

Give them a call In response to Older drivers comment 25 October - REAP Marlborough run subsidised Defensive Driving courses 4 times a year, in the evening. Why not give them a call.

Speed limit Re Bill McElhinneys article about lower speed limit in the Sun 25/10 Lucinda Rees maybe right about speed around schools, but she’s wrong if she thinks lowering the speed limit to 80k will lower emissions as all modern cars are geared for their best economy at 100 to 110 kph so will not be running anywhere near their optimum at 80 k

Ross at Mitre 10 Last Saturday, the 19th, a friend and I were in the timber part of Mitre10 when I had a coughing attack. I moved to the farthest corner to isolate myself as I coughed up a lung. Next thing a voice said “excuse me” and when I turned around there stood a staff member with a glass of water for me. What a wonderful kind thing to do and I thank you very very much Ross, what a gentleman. He then served us with great efficiency and a very pleasant manner. Thanks a million Ross, you restored my faith in human beings.

Codswallop Bill McElhinney report from Lucinda Rees re reduction of speed limit between Blenheim and Nelson to 80 kph is codswallop. There are no bad roads just bad drivers. Two recent deaths were both in attention. Drivers need to use their eyes and note speed limit corners and show judgement on overtaking If you can’t drive with consideration to others and already in place speed restrictions simply get off our roads.

reductions”. He pointed out, rightly in my opinion, that we should not be “dithering” on implementation of stringent controls of CO2 emissions by mitigating methane. We cannot accurately measure methane emissions from farms. There’s no easy answer to reducing our emissions, but forcing one of our most important export industries to pay an arbitrary price based on how much methane their sheep and cows may or may not expel should not be one of the options.

You do not even need a garden to grow vegetables - you can build a raised garden using just a few basic materials.

GARDENING THIS WEEK Get going with your own garden: By Wally Richards In the last few of years many new gardeners have appeared at garden shops looking to start off a vegetable garden because they are very concerned about what is in their food chain. They want to grow as much food as possible that has nutritional goodness, which makes good sense because as a gardener you determine what goes into the soil the plants are feeding on. You do not even need a garden to grow vegetables and fruit trees as you can grow lots of things in containers. To grow in containers, all you need to do is purchase a few bags of compost, some

sheep manure pellets, maybe a bag of blood and bone and add these to the compost and plant up seeds or seedlings. You can increase the goodness of the food by adding mineral rich products such as Magic Botanic Liquid (MBL) and Unlocking your Soil rock dust. After that you can spray the foliage of the plants with the MBL every two weeks. For those that have a nice sunny area where a vegetable garden could be started you don’t even have to do any digging. Mow down as low as possible. Make a surround that is at least 200mm tall (the taller

the better.) My recommendation is using roofing iron as the sides screwed to 100 x 100 posts. The garden should only be about a metre wide so that you can work from the sides and never have to walk on it. When your surround is in place, cover the bottom with cardboard or several sheets of newspaper. Over this throw in grass clippings, food scraps, animal manures, prunings, leaves and anything organic, including home-made compost and spent potting mix from old containers. When you have a layer which half fills the raised

garden, then sprinkle a good dose of garden lime over the material. Next lay another lot of wet newspaper and then put the purchased compost over the newspaper. Finish off the top few centimetres with purchased compost which will be weed free. Worms love newspaper and cardboard, so they will be attracted to your raised garden and provide further nutrients and keep the soil open. Some grass clippings can be added to the brew as well, but not too much. Problems r ing me at 0800 466464.

Sophie Whittall Head Girl at Marlborough Girls’ College, 2019  What food do you crave most often? Anything with Pic’s peanut butter!!  When you have had a bad day, what do you do to feel better? A laugh with my twin sister and younger brother while watching an episode of Friends always works a charm.  What was cool when you were young, but isn’t now? Getting old and growing up. Ekk I’m graduating in a few weeks time and I can’t say that it is as cool as I thought it would be when I was younger!  Who has been the biggest inspiration in your life? I know it is a bit of a cliché but my mum has been a huge inspiration in my life. She’s an absolute gem.

Yesterday saw Year 13 students from Marlborough Boys' and Girls' Colleges celebrate their graduation with a

gathering at the Riverside Amphitheatre. The girls sung a waiata which was followed by a powerful haka by

the boys, then flowers were released into the river. Photo by Celeste Alexander

 What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? There are a lot of beautiful places out there but I don’t

think you can beat White’s Bay during summer.  What was the last photo you took? A photo of my younger cousin with his bunny-themed birthday cake. He has just turned nine.  What thing do you really wish you could buy right now? A new phone. It is a bit of a long story, but a working one as soon as possible would be amazing.  What is the best or worst purchase you’ve ever made? Lishonda - my beautiful black honda. Since I got my car it is hard imagining getting around without it.  Favourite programme currently watching? The Big Bang Theory  What fashion trend makes you laugh or cringe? I can’t stand pencil-thin eyebrows ahhhh! Gotta keep them natural.

'Shall we dance', The King and I has arrived. The wardrobe, singing and dancing is spectacular in this show.

The King and I, dazzling and exotic By Andrew Ritchie The society that brought Phantom of the Opera and Mary Poppins to the ASB Theatre brings the dazzling and exotic musical The King and I to the stage. Blenheim Musical Theatre will bring to life this well-loved musical from the Rogers and Hammerstein play book. In the words of The New York Times, “two worlds collide in this breath-taking and exquisite production.” Set in the 1860s,the musical tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the

King of Siam and Anna L e onowen s, a Br it ish school teacher whom the modernist King brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children. King Monghut’s dream is to provide a western education for his family, but both he and Anna are challenged to understand one another, and to find common ground amidst many cultural differences.

SPORTS TALK With Jacob Page

England, England, England It’s hard to remember a time when the All Blacks were more comprehensively outplayed than last Saturday night. England coach Eddie Jones said he had been planning for that Rugby World Cup semifinal for more than two years and now all of New Zealand believes it. Even the most ardent supporter of the men in black must concede when they woke up the next day that their

team was out-thought, out-muscled and out-passioned on the biggest stage. The 19-7 result will go down as one of England’s best and equally one of New Zealand’s most thorough defeats. There was no blaming the referee, no bounce of the ball that went their way, it was simply a clinical dissection of one of the most revered sports teams in the world.

Kieran Read’s men were figuratively punched in the mouth from the opening whistle and never recovered. I have been a fan of the All Blacks for 25 years and I am struggling to think of a time when the team was so comprehensively outplayed in every facet like they were on Saturday night. I’ve never watched a playoff for third at a World Cup and that will not change, it is a meaningless game

if ever there was one. Perhaps a chance to give Ryan Crotty and Ben Smith a final game in black. On a side note, Scott Barrett, who I like as a player, was a failure at No 6. That does not mean he won’t one day be excellent at the position but he was in way over his head in that semifinal. To be fair to him, many of his more experienced teammates were blown

off the park too. Codie Taylor, Sam Whitelock and Jack Goodhue had their worst games in black but England simply didn’t allow anyone to shine. In essence they did to the All Blacks what the All Blacks have done to teams for the past decade. They humbled us early and stood on our throats for 80 minutes. Got to take that loss on the chin and thankfully it seems like many have.

Bryers claims top honour as Monaro Maro crosses the ditch Blenheim horse trainer Merv Bryers and wife Paulette O’Sullivan are happy to start again after selling their top horse, Monaro Maro to Victorian interests. Merv and his main charge, Monaro Maro were the big winners at the Marlborough Harness Racing Awards. Merv was named trainer of the year and Monaro Maro horse of the year after the pair combined for five wins, two seconds and two thirds for prize money of $44,030. Merv also won the best UDR rating for the 2018/2019 season which concluded in August with a .2087 when wins and placings were combined. “I thought it was the best move for the horse, she’ll have more opportunity over there for her,” Merv said. “She’s had three races over there for two wins and a second so there’s happy owners already. “It’s always better to turn them over

and we have three young ones coming through including a full brother to Monaro Maro. “If you don’t turn them over you can get stuck with them. Merv said Monaro Maro was durable having raced 27 times last season mostly in an effort to make the Harness Jewels where she finished ninth in June. Merv praised his wife for her efforts with the horses, especially the nutritional side of things. “We are a good team and we’re looking forward to these young ones.” The alternate gait horse of the year went to He’s Fast And Furious for trainer Mark Gill who had two wins, two seconds and three thirds. Trials horse of the year, for the horse that won the most trials for the year, was jointly won by Jumping Badger trained by Alan Shutkowski and Bonnie Boy trained by Ann Marie Best.

Monaro Maro returns to the birdcage after winning race 4 at Addington on May 17 with John Dunn in the sulky. Owner trainer Bryers is also pictured. PHOTO COURTESY OF RACE IMAGES Pictured are Brooklyn Croquet Club prize winners from the South Island Masters Croquet Tournament held last week in Timaru. All aspects of weather was sampled at the tournament, from heavy rain to bright sunshine, but the whole event ran well and was extremely well organised. Players played in age groups according to their age and han d i c aps an d B r o o k l y n Croquet Club members playing and representing their Club

with credit in a very enjoyable contest. Pictured are Roz Bridges and John Best who won bronze medal in 73+ age group doubles. Marg Foxton won a silver medal winner in the 72-75 age group singles, Joy Hayes along with Brian Goodwin from Ashburton (not present) won gold medal winners in the 69-71 age group doubles, and Alan Gare and Margaret Campbell won bronze medals in the 74-77 age group doubles.

Need a Resource Consent for Visitor Accommodation? – We Can Help

Subdivisions and Boundary Adjustments Civil Engineering Drawings Resource Consents for District Councils Anna Bensemann P 03 578 7299 E anna@blg.nz 30 Maxwell Road, Blenheim | www.blg.nz

With a rise in popularity for Air BnB and homestay activities we are seeing more people getting caught out with a visitor accommodation activity that requires resource consent. Small scale visitor accommodation where less than 5 people are able to stay at once, might be considered as permitted, but anything lager often requires

resource consent to operate in Marlborough. Of concern is having lots of people coming and going from a site, and the effect this may have on the neighbourhood with noise, traffic and general busyness of a property. In those cases where a resource consent is required, its often not a complicated process, but just

gives Council confidence that the activity won’t affect the surrounding area. So, if you are thinking of starting up an Air BnB on your property, give us a call to see if a resource consent is required. We can let you know the permitted limits for your property, and help you obtain any resource consents if need be.
