Sculpture ready – at last A commemorative sculpture to mark a historic battle led by a Cambridge-born second lieutenant will finally be unveiled tomorrow. The Le Quesnoy Sculpture was commissioned by the Armistice in Cambridge group early last year, but redtape hurdles prevented it being ready by the original target of November 2018. The sculpture was set in place last week, nearly a year after the intended completion date, at the corner of Thornton Rd and Victoria St. Minister of Internal Affairs Tracey Martin will unveil the sculpture tomorrow at 9.30am, two days shy of 101 years since Kiwi troops liberated the French town of Le Quesnoy from German occupation, led by Second Lieutenant Leslie Averill. The near six-metre-high stainless-steel sculpture was designed by Cambridge artist Fred Graham, and funded by the Armistice in Cambridge group through Lotteries and the WW100 government fund for around $100,000. Roads closures will be in place on Thornton Rd from Victoria St to Grosvenor St, and on Victoria St from Thornton Rd to Princes St from 8am until noon. Those wishing to sit during the unveiling have been advised to bring a chair. “The public are encouraged to come along to share in the celebrations,” said Paul Watkins, chair of Armistice in Cambridge. Watkins said the sculpture was designed to commemorate the soldiers who fought and died in the battle to liberate Le Quesnoy, which is now Cambridge’s sister city. The design concept was based on a well-known Parisian tower, with a fern leaf reaching up two sides. On November 9 and 10, the annual Armistice in Cambridge event, New Zealand’s largest celebration of military heritage, will be staged at Lake Karapiro. The Le Quesnoy Sculpture was erected last week and will be officially unveiled this Saturday.

NZ history How likely is it that James Cook was not the first explorer from another country to land in New Zealand? During medieval times European explorers came from France, Spain, Portugal and Holland, as well as England. The Chinese and Japanese were also recognized as great explorers in early times. The wreckage of medieval ships have frequently been discovered on the New Zealand coast. Early settlers in New Zealand saw lightskinned, blue-eyed people in the Maori tribes. The Maori people have been settled in New Zealand for hundreds of years, but did people from other countries settle in New Zealand earlier than the eighteenth century? Michael Cole * * * * What value experience? People vote for experience, but experience tells me only that someone did something for a period of time. Fonterra is run by experienced people, our DHB was sacked and they are experienced. I would like to get this through to people. We have a council that is pushing a population growth. On their website they say there is not enough water for a growing population. These same people have multiple terms on council. I would like to know why they are pushing this population growth without having infrastructure ahead of this growth. You are spending millions on a delivery pipe for water to Te Awamutu from a source Council has said is inadequate for a growing town, so why are they still pushing this growth? Housing is not needed. There are no families living on the streets. This to me shows they are more interested in growth than quality of life. Roads are congested and need repair, but they put parks and such ahead of these needs. Infrastructure is more important than projects. Pushing growth around Cambridge is not on, the population is big enough. The Market street/Mahoe street sorts of projects come from the minds of those who are not realists. Most ratepayers work for their money to pay rates and this cavalier attitude is not on. People need to read the Waipa website and see how they want to throw your money around. We have road congestion and roads breaking up, water restrictions in Summer and water meters to slow down the use. Who ever thought shared walk,cycle ways is a good idea needs a reality check.

Artists to feature in garden festival for first time By Viv Posselt

A trio of Cambridge-based artists working across three very different genres are preparing feverishly for the 2019 Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival on Sunday, November 24. Artist Carole Hughes is adding to the collection of colourful works she will showcase, while Dot and Barry Harding – fresh from an extended holiday – are busy playing catch-up in their areas of patchwork art and woodwork. All three will display and sell their artwork on the day as well as showcase their spring gardens. The addition of two ‘Art in the Garden’ sites to the festival programme is new this year. They are included in a total of 11 display gardens in and around Cambridge. Carole Hughes’ garden has the Mediterranean feel that inspires much of her art. It is filled with bold, bright colours and textures that transform across the seasons. Carole started painting in 1994; her works have been exhibited extensively and she has a wide international following. Her fauve-inspired style reflects scenes from her travels across Europe – musicians, landscapes, simple village or café and

Artist Carole Hughes will have a range of her fauve-inspired art for sale.

street scenes. She plans to display and sell a range of canvases, art gift books, place mats and coasters. A festival ‘special’ will be the opportunity for ticketholders to go into a draw through Heritage Gallery for one of Carole’s canvases. The gallery regularly exhibits her art. “Anyone wearing a festival wristband, and who goes into Heritage Gallery on the day, will go into the draw for a painting I will have on display there,” she said. Dot and Barry Harding toil together on creating special areas in their garden but have separate working areas for their art. Dot’s patchworking studio is where she makes beautiful quilts - some have won awards - and a range of patchwork items.

Dot and Barry Harding will display and sell their patchwork and woodworked items at the festival.

Many will be on display and for sale on November 24, including unusual bowl holders, sewing caddies, little bags and striking framed patchwork images. “Some of the pieces I had prepared before going away have all gone, so I’m busy making more for the festival,” said Dot. Barry’s workshop is always a hive of activity; it is where he crafts a host of items to order, including many for Hobbiton. The work he will have on display and for sale at the garden festival will primarily cover garden art items – totem poles and ‘glass totems’, tui feeders, wooden prickly pears with coloured glass as leaves, and more. Not wanting festival-goers to be put off by thoughts of transporting some of the larger items, Barry and Dot said they were prepared to do free deliveries of sold items to anywhere within a 50km radius of Cambridge. Tickets (which include maps) for the 2019 Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival are selling fast. They are available from Amber Garden Centre, Cambridge Jewellers, or online at www.cgf.nz. An online newsletter and blog available at the same address features information on the gardens going on display and on the event sponsors.

Lamb to the slaughter By Steph Bell-Jenkins

We’ve been named New Zealand’s most beautiful town, but at least one person showed an ugly side on Sunday when they stole a digger from a construction site and used it to wreak havoc on Lamb St. The bill from the destructive spree is expected to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Residents said it appeared someone had broken into a digger parked at Pukekura subdivision, under construction on Lamb St, at about 11.30pm on Sunday and took it for a joyride around the site. It is thought the thieves either hotwired the vehicle or used a

screwdriver in the ignition barrel. Next they apparently drove next door onto Simon and Jane Makgill’s property, where they gouged a large hole in the couple’s driveway with the digger’s bucket. “They then drove over a wire fence and basically just took to our shed, where they obviously used the bucket to trash one side and then the other,” Mr Makgill said. “Then they drove through a wooden fence onto Lamb St and crossed the road into another property, where they abandoned the digger and set fire to it. “I just wonder what they thought they were doing. It’s total vandalism.” Jon Brewer, director of the Cambridge

Simon and Jane Makgill’s son-in-law Steve Lee surveys the wreckage of the Makgills’ shed, which was demolished after vandals stole a digger from Pukekura subdivision on Sunday night.

company that owns the digger, Camex Civil, said it appeared vandals had also broken into a shed on the subdivision looking for keys for the machines. “But the machine keys were not on site, so they have then broken the machine windows,” he said. Brewer said the digger’s cab was “completely burnt out” and the machine, worth about $300,000, was expected to be a write-off. “That machine was specially set up with GPS equipment so it’s not a simple matter of replacing it,” he said. “We’re going to do our best to place additional machinery in there... but it will definitely impact on our ability to get the job done on time.” He said the police had “got some good fingerprints” and hoped “somebody might learn a lesson if they got caught”. Paul Garland, whose fence was run over before the digger was burnt in his paddock, said Lamb St was “always getting ripped up by young hoons”. “Over the last 20-odd years we would have had a dozen vehicles go through fences here, taking out power poles and all sorts,” he said. “It’s something you’ve just got to live with really, and luckily nobody’s hurt, that’s probably the biggest thing.” Cambridge resident Noel Passau, who runs his dog on Lamb St most mornings, agreed hoons were a big problem on Lamb St, especially on a grassy strip between Carlyle St and Maungatautari Rd he calls

“the racetrack”. “It’s amazing how many cars have run into trees and been smashed and now this incident with the digger – it’s disgusting what’s going on,” he said. “I don’t know why they don’t put security cameras up and get a few number plates.” The Police’s media team said officers had conducted a scene examination on Monday and they were were working with Fire and Emergency New Zealand to establish the circumstances. Anyone with information should call Waikato Police on 105.

November 8 fundraiser close to Finn family heart By Viv Posselt

Tim Finn says being part of the fundraiser for Cambridge Community House (CCH) is something he welcomes from the heart. “I haven’t performed here for ages,” he said last week, “and this is an event I wholeheartedly support.” The CCH event at the Cambridge Town Hall on November 8 is the organisation’s main fundraiser for 2019. The Evening of Stories and Song will feature Finn, Cambridge’s own Harry Parsons and celebrity cook Allyson Gofton, who now lives on the outskirts of town. Finn was born in Te Awamutu; it was where his parents lived and worked, and where he and his siblings – Carolyn, Judy, and equally-acclaimed muso brother Neil – grew up. The family recently lost their father and patriarch, Richard Finn, who died last month aged 97. “The thing about our family,” Tim said, “is that we were always very close. It makes you realise that places like Cambridge Community House are there for people who might not have supportive families in the same way we do. “Places like that create an environment where people feel comfortable. Those who need help feel they can walk in off the street and get the help they seek without being judged. Many people who are facing difficulties, whatever they are, might find it intimidating to go into government organisations or agencies. They feel more comfortable at

places like Cambridge Community House.” Finn last performed in Cambridge several years ago when he offered his family’s songs and memories through White Cloud: Songs and Stories, presented at Gaslight Theatre. Part of that featured Parihaka, a single inspired by Dick Scott’s book, Ask That Mountain. It is a song he was asked to write by sister Carolyn Casey, who just happens to be chairperson of the Cambridge Community House Trust. Finn will include Parihaka in his November 8 performance. He said both his parents had a strong social conscience and next week’s performance in Cambridge would win their nod of approval. Part of the fundraising evening will be a silent auction featuring several significant prizes. Just a few of those are an outdoor table and chair set from Mitre 10, Manuka honey products, hot laps in a V8 around Hampton Downs, and a pass for four to Rotorua Gondola, Swing and Luge. CCH manager Harriet Dixon said the fundraiser was vital to the organisation’s continuing operation. “Like any town in New Zealand, Cambridge has multiple issues across all socio-economic groups, including the need for affordable housing, unemployment, substance abuse, family harm and mental health issues. We rely on grants, donations and gifts from the Cambridge community to enable the provision of our free services.” All three celebrities have given their time in support of the November 8 fundraiser. Tickets are $55 each, with reserved

premium tables for eight available for $600. Tickets are from Cambridge Paper Plus, or from CCH, 193 Shakespeare St, Leamington. For more information call 07-827 5402.

Waipa turns 30 1989 vs 2019 By Sophie Iremonger

It has been 30 years since Waipa District Council was formed in 1989 with the nationwide amalgamation of 850 borough and county councils into 86 district councils. Councils have come a long way since, “and for the better too,” said Wayne Allan, Waipa’s group manager and one of the “originals” from the ’89 founding team at Waipa District Council. He was fresh out of Massey University as a 23-year-old planning officer when he joined the Waipa team, having been with the Matamata County Council for about a year before it joined with the Waipa County Council, the Cambridge Borough Council, Te Awamutu Borough Council and part of the Raglan and Waikato county councils to form the Waipa District Council. “It was difficult, it was a bit of a nightmare actually,” said Allan, remembering the year-and-a-half of referring to six different district schemes to administer council rules before the 1991 Resource Management Act ushered in a new district plan for Waipa. The new structure opened new doors, he said, enabling Cambridge’s now-exponential growth because the former borough councils were limited to how far the town could grow. “Growth was stunted by this Cambridge borough boundary,” he said. “So with the new district, that

artificial boundary was gone and the new local government was much wider.” They’ve planned for new growth cells to the north and west of Cambridge since then, and expect to see residential and industrial developments established in those areas over the next few years – in fact building some of those projects has already begun. Looking back over the past 30 years, workflow had improved exponentially, Allan said. “Back then you’d get a stack of letters every day, and you’d be writing letters responding to your customers, now it’s instantaneous email. We had hard copy information in file cabinets, and now it’s instantaneous information at your fingertips, for us and for customers too.” Waipa as a district has unified too. “Initially you had those tensions between Te Awamutu and Cambridge but all those have gone now,” said Allan, referring to the former Cambridge - Te Awamutu relationship akin to that of Australia and New Zealand. Looking toward the next 30 years, he hoped to see Cambridge keep its young people “so that we don’t just end up with a lot of retirement villages,” he said, pointing to the industrial and residential growth plans as a means to support that demographic. “I see a continuation of strong residential growth underpinned by good planning, and trying to

maintain the Cambridge character. … And maintaining this as a place of sporting excellence and the Home of Champions, not only sporting champions but everyone in the community being champions of what they do. “That’s what I really enjoy about the job, we’re helping shape the future of growth and development around the district.” He likened Waipa’s 53,000 strong population as a “sweet spot” for local government to have a stable economic footing, yet still be small enough to respond effectively to its communities. “Hopefully we’ll see many more really good decisions made by our elected representatives that provide for our future generations.”

‘Bullish’ changes to Resthaven board By Viv Posselt

The appointment of two new trustees to the Cambridge Resthaven Trust Board is part of a broader initiative aimed at futureproofing the retirement complex in a fast-changing marketplace. Richard Davis and Alan Wellington were welcomed to the Trust Board at its September annual meeting. Their addition took the board from seven to nine members – chairman Kevin Monks, Lisa Ware, Marc Scott, Mark Brown, Brent Nielsen, Kevin Burgess, Kim Dorling, Richard Davis and Alan Wellington. Most of the trustees are working full time in different sectors and offer large chunks of their spare time to Resthaven Board activities. Richard Davis brings to the table 20 years’ international experience in the aged care sector, 10 years of them as CEO of a New Zealandowned retirement village in the United Kingdom. He came back to this country two-and-a-half years ago and is chief executive of a North Shore-based owner of five retirement villages in Auckland and Mt Maunganui. “I have had a long-term interest in the sector,” he said. “It is the right time for me to find a way to put something back. I started looking for an opportunity that wasn’t too far away, something reasonably accessible for me. This was ideal.” Alan Wellington recently moved to Cambridge after spending a decade doing voluntary work in Northland, including three years as a trustee on a Community Trust Board

running a retirement village in the coastal town of Ngunguru. This followed a successful business career in the finance industry and then as the owner of a motor vehicle franchise business. He is keen to use his mix of experience and skills to give back to a community organisation dedicated to helping others. Cambridge Resthaven’s starting point differed from that of most retirement villages. Unlike the model which sees most villages owned by listed companies, Resthaven was developed as an independent standalone village led by a Trust comprising representatives from various community organisations. Kevin Monks, now in his third year as chairman, said a key point of difference was the involvement of community groups. “But we are in a much more competitive market now and must ensure we remain economically viable.” The new appointments reflect a broader ‘uplifting in gears’ for the Trust Board, he said. “We decided as a Board that we needed to upgrade our governance structures. We are now quite a large employer and borrow a lot of money for the village; we want to make sure we are commercially focused as well as community focused.” Part of the upgrade is an adjusted appointments and review process to ensure the board has the skillset needed to remain viable. “The Trust has been extremely well run, make no mistake, but it wasn’t being run in accordance with modern governance structures,” Monks said. “There was too much

responsibility in too narrow a field.” Community groups are now represented on a selection panel chaired by Grahame Webber. The process of appointing trustees sees individuals put in an expression of interest and then go before the selection panel, while the Board’s annual ‘360-degree review process’ ensures that the mix of trustees remains relevant in the long-term. Fellow trustee Kevin Burgess described the changes as ‘bullish’ and said they were needed in order to ensure community money remained in safe hands. “We needed some assistance in certain areas,” he said. “Our two new trustees mean we now have a good mix of people, a good mix of skills.”

New role for Rimmington

Veteran local body politician Russ Rimmington – who led Hamilton city for three years from 1998 – has won the race to lead the Waikato Regional Council. Rimmington, who turns 74 next month, succeeded the retiring Margaret Evans to hold the Hamilton mayoral chains, but was beaten by David Braithwaite three years later. The make-up of the committee for the regional council will be announced this month. Rimmington (Hamilton ward) beat Andrew MacPherson (Waipā-King Country ward) 10-4 in an election which involved five new councillors. Former chairman Alan Livingston retired at the last local body elections after a career which included leading both Waipa District as mayor, and the regional council from 2016. Ironically his predecessor, Paula Southgate, has taken on Rimmington’s old job as mayor of Hamilton. Kataraina Hodge will be the new regional council deputy. The role was previously held by Tipa Mahuta, who was an early runner

for the chair’s job. Rimmington was nominated for the role by Hugh Vercoe and seconded by Kathy White while MacPherson was nominated by Barry Quayle and seconded by Stu Kneebone. The new chairman was earlier quoted as saying the council had failed to live up to the Council’s logo which signified clean air and water and had paid lip service to the global and environmental challenges before it.

Eco Fest – it’s a BYO event By Viv Posselt

An inaugural Kids Eco Festival coming to Cambridge later this month is shaping up to be a fun and informative way to put the concept of waste reduction within everyone’s reach. The idea is to bring children and their parents face-to-face with different ways to better protect the planet by reducing waste. Visitors will be able to make their own smoothie using pedal power, sew their own reusable bags, learn how to become nature explorers, discover the secret life of worms, enjoy retro games, follow a water conservation path and enter a ‘wearable arts’ recycled fashion show and competition.

There will also be a Go Eco pop-up shop, information about organic waste options, links to local projects and initiatives, native plants on sale, and more. Behind it all is Janine Monk, a business administrator and long-time sustainability enthusiast who has been toying with the idea of doing something like this for the past couple of years. “Sustainability has always been a passion for me,” she said. “The idea has evolved slowly, really from a starting point of thinking it would be more effective if we took it to kids first. They are often the ones to bring good ideas into the home and introduce things to their parents.” In May, she linked up with Camilla Carty-

and a lot of fun,” said Monk. Carty-Melis said the November 16 festival would be a fun day for all the family, that is all about sustainability and environmental action. “Come and meet organisations that are all about protecting the planet; learn some new skills, play some games and find out how to get involved in local initiatives.” She urged all comers to BYO coffee cup and smoothie mugs for the event. “If this goes as well as we hope, we might look at taking it to Hamilton, and perhaps run it again.” The event will be held at Cambridge Primary School hall from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, November 16.

Trio in court over Z attack Three youths will appear in the Youth Court in Hamilton later this month after a Z service station staff member was attacked during a robbery at Hautapu last week. Police say two will appear in the Hamilton Youth Court on November 20 charged with aggravated robbery and unlawfully entering a motor vehicle and a third on November 13 charged with aggravated robbery and unlawfully entering a motor vehicle. The Hautapu Z Energy service station on Victoria Rd was raided soon after 3am

on Tuesday last week and a staff member was attacked. Three people fled the scene, taking a cash till with them, but were stopped soon after by police. It is understood the trio kicked in a door to get access to the service station shop and then jumped the counter to confront the employee who was ordered to open the tobacco cabinet. The Cambridge News understands the employee was taken to hospital and had a head wound stitched.

That’s the spirit - we are so beautiful

By Sophie Iremonger

Cambridge concentrated on showing its community spirit to deny Pukekohe a third win in the race to be named the country’s most beautiful large town. A team comprising Miff Macdiarmid, Michael Jeans, Josh Easby and Philip Coles, went into the entry process this year determined to win having learned that the

previous failures were not in the town’s beauty, but in demonstrating community spirit through volunteer groups and community initiatives. It paid off – Cambridge won the coveted Keep New Zealand Beautiful award for most beautiful large town. “I think it was just a matter of learning exactly what they were after,” said Jeans, who made the previous two

entries along with Josh and the support of Destination Cambridge. Macdiarmid, CEO of Destination Cambridge, explained the strategy. “It’s a beautiful town of course, but community input was a big part of the application too, so we took the judges on a tour around Cambridge and showed them the community gardens, the tree trust, local

businesses, discussed a lot of the volunteering that goes on. “As we walked the streets with them (judges Michael Van de Elzen and Heather Saunderson), numerous people said hello or smiled, everyone was just really warm, super relaxed and genuine. “That’s what we experience every day, but for them – especially coming from Auckland – that experience was very special.” “They were really taken by that,” said Coles, who joined Macdiarmid in accepting the award at a gala dinner in Dunedin. “True beauty comes from within and it’s really about the community spirit. “We always knew we were the most beautiful town, but now it’s just official. It gives everyone even more reason to be proud that this is their town.” Macdiarmid said the win would also reinforce Cambridge as a place to visit, for domestic and overseas visitors. The team is now planning on entering next year’s awards – defending the “Most Beautiful Large Town” award and entering “Best Street” and awards for community initiatives.

Full house at Cambridge High School Student Matteo Di Maio looks at the creation of a new house system at Cambridge High School. Cambridge High School has announced the creation of six schoolhouses. The new house system is part of a year of big changes for the school, with next year marking Cambridge High School’s transition to a vertical form class set-up. This will involve students from Years 9 to 13 (about six of each year level per class) joining together in one form class, strengthening student connection with each other across the different levels of the school. On Wednesday last week the school congregated for a launch assembly, replete with colourful lights and house dances from the teachers and student leaders in each new house. The assembly introduced the students to the six new houses: Pukeroro, Te Koopu Maania, Te Oko Horoi, Parawhau, Te Koo Utu, and Horotiu. Each of the house names have been gifted to the school by mana whenua, creating a “sense of connection to Cambridge that has deep roots”, says

Horotiu house.

Thornton. The house names all have stories that reference landmarks and have a history unique to the Cambridge area. “Mana whenua have a rich history in this region, and it is fantastic that they are wanting to share their stories with us. This offers us a deep connection to the history of Cambridge and paves the way for us to enjoy in a shared future”, said principal Greg Thornton. Pukeroro, the silver/grey house, is located west of the bridge’s current position the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway. It was a peaceful settlement and one of its main functions was in food cultivation, as evidenced by the large number of burrow pits that run along this part of the Waikato Expressway. The colours were chosen to represent the stones that were removed to help create fertile lands. Te Koopu Maania comes from a waiata or song by Tāwhiao, “explaining the smooth

surface of the womb of Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) before food groups were planted. This area was well known for garden cultivation, … and food supply across the region. Te Koopu Maania’s green colour represents the fertility of the surrounding area. Te Oko Horoi means the “washbowl of sorrow” and is the name given by King Tāwhiao in response to land alienation occurring in the Waikato region around 1866. Mana whenua also see this reference to cleansing as applicable today as a symbol of new beginnings. White was chosen for this house to represent cleanliness. Parawhau is the name of one of the largest fortified pā sites in this region in the Fencourt and French Pass area. Parawhau means “defence and protection” and Black was chosen for this house to represent the renowned strength of the fortified pā. Te Koo Utu means to scoop water “as in washing one’s face”. Tāwhiao used the spring fed waters of Te Koo Utu to relieve

his sadness and referencing the importance of the healing power of water in Māori philosophy. Te Koo Utu has blue as its colour, to represent the lake. Finally, Horotiu, meaning the “swift current of the Waikato river”. Horotiu Pā was pre-colonial and its community lived mainly along the Karapiro gully. The colour red of this house represents the bloodlines “connecting us to the pā site”. Thornton said the new house names would foster a sense of “a connection that is unique to Cambridge – you won’t find these names and these stories anywhere else in the world.” “The intention is that no matter where students and staff go from here, this connection and these stories will always leave them with a sense of belonging in Cambridge.”

Cambridge Travel Lines School Bus Drivers Wanted Who are we?

I have been with CTL for 14 years, over this period I have seen lots happen, enjoyed all of it. The bonus is having holidays while students have got theirs’s. I can honestly say no 2 days are the same, while being a pensioner, it is nice little job to get you out and about. A lot of friendly people to work with and lots of stories shared – Maureen

Cambridge Travel Lines, the company has celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018. 1958, the first bus run was in Cambridge, Horahora Primary, south of Karapiro. The bus was a 1951 Diamond T, Kauri framed bus with a canvas roof, how times have changed! Now many of our buses are run by computers, with climate control! The founders, Terry and Bev Pidduck, along with Reg Ridley started the company. Present day, Mike Pidduck and Ivan Julian, run the company. We have many staff members that have been with us for over three decades. Whilst the company employs over 60 drivers in the Waikato, our roots are still firmly based in Cambridge. We are still a family orientated company, and consider our staff as part of a team, where any staff member can walk into the manager’s office for a chat.

Why become a school bus driver? We have found a wide variety of the community enjoy

working part time. Retired, semi-retired, mothers whom children have gone off to school. People whom full time employment doesn’t suit, people wanting to get back into fulltime employment, and gain a qualification along the way. Work is flexible, only school terms, typically 7.30-900 am and 3.00-4.30 pm, with opportunities for extra work if wanted, as in school trips, charter work e.g. (Clubs/ organisations wanting to go on outings).

What is needed to be a bus driver? A class 2 licence and P licence, and to be able to pass a police check, but if you do have something on your record and wonder if you could still pass the Police check, do not let this put you off, please come in and talk it over with us.

You have no experience or the correct licences? That is fine, we will pay for you to get them, and all the training that is required.

Some thoughts from a couple of our drivers. Employed by CTL over 20 years, arrived in Cambridge looking for full time job, still here, still having fun, part time hours suit my lifestyle and school holidays off – Reta Been employed by CTL for nearly 8 years, when I retired my focus was that I wanted something to keep me motivated and I find CTL a great place to work, very happy and enjoy being part of a team - Peter

I have been driving buses for 42 years, 25 years with CTL, the hours are great, 1.5 hours morning and night, forty weeks a year, the rest holidays, that’s great. We have a great fleet and the maintenance is of high level. I love the open road in the countryside, especially in my new automatic bus, more traffic to content with these days. I love being with the students, my own kids travelled with me now it is grandkids, that was something our boss let us do was take our kids on board. I am now on second generation school kids. I enjoy going to work each day because I work with fine people and I am part of a great company – Patricia

Anyone wanting to join our team and become a bus driver: please give Vicky a ring at Cambridge Travel Lines, 07 827 7363.

general”. “I look around and I think we don’t really need more rugby players, we don’t need more politicians, but we could really do with more scientists,” he said. “If I can interest not only our kids, but other kids, in that stuff and encourage their inquisitiveness then that’s awesome and who knows where they might take it?” The last challenge for the family is figuring out where to put their eye-catching creation. Chantal is adamant it should live in the lounge. And while Mrs Cow might be handy for Halloween, Chantal’s mum Nadine thinks she might also make a cool Christmas tree.

Fake plastic skeletons have been popping up in shops for Halloween, but Hautapu School student Chantal Taylor has the real deal. She and her dad have just spent three months rebuilding 207 bovine bones into a complete skeleton, dubbed “Mrs Cow”. Chantal, who has been fascinated by bones since she can remember, found the deceased beast earlier this year during a visit to her grandmother’s Hawke’s Bay farm. “I was looking out for bones and I spotted the skeleton in the grass,” she said. “I was really, really excited.” The nine-year-old packed the bones into a box, brought them home and convinced her father Will to help put the unusual 3D jigsaw back together. With Will’s help, she and her seven-year-old sister Lucia researched cow anatomy online and “spent hours and hours”

using veterinary textbooks to label and order the bones. “I didn’t really have a plan for exactly how it was going to go; we just started with the spine and used the diagrams to try and get the shape,” said Will, who used his engineering skills to build a stainless steel frame and wheeled trolley for the bona fide bovine. The dedicated dad drilled holes in all 207 bones and used stainless steel pins and glue to connect them together, even making a special trip back to Hawke’s Bay to source missing pieces. The skeleton is now complete, minus a few teeth. Will estimated the project had taken 80 hours and said he was “very relieved” to finish Mrs Cow in time to take her to Hautapu School’s Ag Day, where she was a big hit. He would eventually like to offer the skeleton to other schools to use as a teaching resource. He said constructing Mrs Cow had been an “awesome educational process” for his daughters and they had “learnt a huge amount about not only cow anatomy but anatomy in

Waipā libraries are celebrating the launch of a new website. For 12 years the district’s two libraries, in Cambridge and Te Awamutu, have had a temporary website with limited information. But a new website - www.waipalibraries.org.nz - has been built to improve customer experience for library users. The site features news, event information and integration with the library database. One of the new features is an event search to find details of activities for children, teenagers and adults like Toddler Time, Makerspace, author talks and upcoming workshops and meetings. Library supervisor Rachel Newnes said the website would make searching for information much easier. “Our two libraries are incredibly important hubs in the Waipā district,” she said. “They provide a welcoming space for residents to gather and learn new things, explore wonderful stories and get creative. Our new website is a major step forward in making our wonderful resources, events and information more accessible to the public.” To celebrate the launch of the new website, the libraries will host Website Week, a week-long series of interactive daily

activities, starting on Monday. Here’s how the week will look for the two libraries: Monday - Te Awamutu: 1 on 1 sessions with a librarian to discover all the website has to offer.

Heritage fund now open

A fund with the purpose of safeguarding the district’s heritage value is now accepting applications. The Waipā Heritage Fund carries an annual value of $70,000, with two funding rounds per year. This round (Round 14) closes on Monday 30 December 2019 and has $60,000 to allocate to successful applicants. The fund was established in 2013 to assist with the preservation, enhancement and showcasing of the unique environmental and cultural heritage, diversity and history St Andrew’s Anglican Church parish member Alan Milton standing below the church organ’s pipes (top right) which have been replaced of the district. and restored, thanks to the Waipā Heritage Fund.

of the community with an emphasis on safeguarding the district’s heritage value, not increasing capital value. Over $380,000 has been approved for projects across the Waipā District since the fund started. Funding can be used to assist with physical works for heritage buildings, objects, natural vegetation, habitats, cultural or archaeological sites. Funds may also be used to help with obtaining specialist advice where appropriate. The Waipā Heritage Fund has assisted a wide range of projects including replacing stolen downpipes at St Paul’s Church in Rangiaowhia, controlling weeds at Karamu and Kaniwhaniwha

reserves, a new roof for the Maungatautari Hall and restoring World War 2 memorial gates at Cambridge’s Memorial Park. One local group grateful to benefit from the fund is St Andrew’s Anglican Church in Cambridge. In 2017 the church parish received a $5,000 grant from the Waipā Heritage Fund to go towards replacing and restoring a number of the church organ’s pipes. Parish member Alan Milton said the beloved heritage pipe organ was installed in 1899 and is a valued part of the history of the church. He said the restoration of the pipes will allow the special instrument to continue to be used at community weddings, funerals, services and concerts

for many years to come. Council’s Strategic Partnerships Manager Gary Knighton said Waipā has a rich cultural, historical and environmental heritage often maintained by community groups with many hours of voluntary time. “We encourage groups and community members to apply to the fund,” he said. “A wider range of applications will ensure the district’s unique and diverse heritage will be protected and conserved for generations to come.” To learn more about the fund and the type of projects it can support, or to apply, visit www.waipadc.govt.nz/ourservices/grants-and-funding/ heritagefund or phone 0800 WAIPA (924 723).

Evie was inundated with toys when she put out a call for help.

Evie Ismay has always felt a passion for “helping with the world’s problems”. The Year 9 student at Cambridge High School has taken her passion one step further by starting her own charity, Hands Up 2 Help. Established with an “environment and people” focus, and driven mainly by high school students, Evie’s charity has recently completed its first project. Along with friends Kathryn Cowell and Ayla Montgomerie, Hands up 2 Help has collected over 150 toys to donate to Kids In Need Waikato, to go towards making sure foster children get presents for Christmas. These include “nearly 90 books for a variety of ages all in good or great condition, four scooters, two bikes, soft toys, games, baby toys and even a slide set”. After posting a notice on the Cambridge Grapevine facebook page, Evie says she received an “awesome” response, with

“heaps of people donating their toys”. Her mum also played a part, putting up a notice on her page. Evie, 14 and from Tamahere, says she gets a lot of her drive for helping out in the community from her mum Nicky. “My mum is also really passionate about the environment, so I probably get some of it from her.” Asked where Hands Up 2 Help is going from here, Evie has plenty of suggestions. She plans to get the group helping out at the Cambridge community gardens, as well as working on a “big” project every Christmas, creating “care packages for those in need”. Although the charity took “a while to take off - I’ve been trying to do this all year”, says Evie, she’s hoping more and more people will join in, building a better awareness of “problems going on around the world and how we can help”. - Matteo Di Maio

What’s My Line returns

Hamilton’s Fringe Festival tomorrow will feature a stage recreation of a classic TV panel show. What’s My Line? ran from 1950 to 1975 in the United States and domestic versions also appeared in Australia, Europe and South America. The game uses celebrity panellists to question contestants in order to determine their line of work, and panellists are also called on to question and identify a weekly celebrity “mystery guest” while blindfolded. The Hamilton version, presented by Hamilton art house DVD rental store Auteur House, was inspired by producer and head panellist Janine Swainson who spent several weeks ill in bed binge-watching episodes of the show on YouTube. As the TV series featured many celebrities, including film stars of the golden age of Hollywood, the owner of Auteur House, Richard Swainson was more than happy to get behind the project. Dr Swainson will serve as panel moderator. The celebrity panel also includes former Hamilton mayor, Margaret Evans; actor, writer and comedian Benny Marama and the Laird McGillicudy, Graeme Cairns. What’s My Line? Live On Stage is on tomorrow at 8.30pm at The Meteor Theatre in Hamilton.

Students supporting prostate cancer foundation Students at Cambridge High School have all played a part in helping to raise $350 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand. The school’s house leaders presented the money by way of cheque to the Cambridge Prostate Cancer Support Group last week, quite suitably received by former Cambridge High School student Graeme McMillan, a founding member of the group, alongside fellow group members Ron Greenwood and Trevor Martin. “It’s tremendous, it’s just marvelous what they’ve done,” said Martin. “This affects so many people.” The money was raised through several student-organised events at Cambridge High School as part of Spirit Week, which included a carnival day and mufti day.

“It was a very well-run week that the students should be extremely proud of and commended on their efforts towards their community,” said head girl Ella Higgins. The NZ Prostate Cancer Foundation was one of three organisations to benefit from Spirit Week, with the same amount also going to the Westpac Air Ambulance and the SPCA. This year marks a record for the school’s senior student executive committee in raising the most funds any student executive committee has raised for charity within a single year, totaling over seven thousand dollars. “The students within the executive committee are pleased to have had such a positive impact, it makes the hard work really worthwhile,” said Higgins.

FAITH IN CAMBRIDGE

Is your glass half full, or…? By Murray Smith, Bridges Church I met an out-of-town visitor for lunch at a local restaurant. Two great looking meals were duly served but I detected disapproval from my guest as he sat looking over the mushroom dish he’d ordered. Disgruntled, he started poking through his meal with a chopstick. “Everything alright?” I asked casually. “Just counting the mushrooms,” he replied without even tasting his meal. Task completed, he called the waitress back. “There’s not enough mushrooms in this meal,” he stated blandly. “I really enjoy mushrooms and since it states on the menu this is a mushroom meal, I feel there should be more.” Cringing with embarrassment I watched the very polite, petite waitress courteously pick up the delightfully plated meal and disappear with it. She was gone for ages…more than enough time for me to finish eating. The whole saga was a real conversation killer. Eventually she returned carrying a replated meal with so many mushrooms, it was over the top! Clearly a point was being made. Satisfied, he didn’t count them thankfully! I paid for lunch apologising to the proprietor. In turn, an apology came for the delay over the second meal…plus an explanation. Although they felt the first meal was perfectly adequate, a staff member had been sent running off to a shop to purchase enough mushrooms to stretch from here to Thailand. Having pondered over who to ‘side with’

over the mushroom issue, I’ve decided my guest was just plain small-hearted. In the light of being presented with a delicious meal (which he wasn’t paying for!), to actually conducting a mushroom headcount seems petty. Other words come to mind. Ungrateful. Petty. Unthankful. Arrogant. Entitled. I love Cambridge and its people. In our beautiful town there’s so much to be thankful for. We are greatly blessed and if we were to compile a list of things that ought to evoke our heartfelt gratitude, it would be immense. Sadly, however there’ll always be ‘mushroom counters’. It’s possible in the light of all we’re privileged with, to still see what we don’t have, rather than what we do have…if our focus is on ‘how many mushrooms’ we don’t have, our sense of entitlement will lead us to see a half ‘empty glass’ rather than a half ‘full glass.’ Of course I’m not advocating just accepting everything. Life isn’t perfect and it can serve up difficult, unfair things. Guarding our ‘perspective’ though, and looking for the things we can be thankful for, makes a difference in us! A line from a poem goes, “Two men looked through prison bars, one saw mud, the other saw stars…” Gratitude helps lift a depressing outlook and keeps us healthy! Finally, a timeless word from King Solomon, writer of the Book of Proverbs, whose wisdom has inspired millions… “For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15

A Cambridge teenager will represent New Zealand at the Judo Oceania Open competition in Perth, Australia over November 3-4. Kieran Leng, a senior student at Cambridge High School, secured his place on the international stage after winning the Auckland International Open in May – where he won his division for under 21-year-olds below 81kg. The competition was one of five qualifying events where the English-born Kiwi had to earn at least three podium finishes – but in fact, he made the podium at all five events, with: silver at the South Island Open, silver at the North Island Open, silver at the Waikato Open, bronze at the Canterbury Open, and gold at the Auckland International Open. He also competed in the senior men’s division at those competitions, and won silver and bronze too. And just last weekend he competed at the national champs in Rotorua, winning silver in the under-21, under 81kg category and bronze in the under-21 open weight division, as well as passing his blackbelt grading. Despite being placed number 2 for under-21-yearolds in the New Zealand national rankings, and fourth

for senior men, he said he was “a bit surprised” to win gold at the Auckland International Open, but “very pleased with the results”. “I’m very excited and a little apprehensive (to represent New Zealand),” he said. “That’s pretty high up there, so there’s a bit of extra pressure. “But I’m looking forward to the experience.” The Year 13 student will miss the last day of school with his flight to Perth scheduled that same morning, but he’ll be back just in time for his final exams.

The main goal was to study Japanese and linguistics at the University of Waikato, and eventually move to Japan where he’ll continue training in judo, and teach English. And eventually, if all goes to plan, he’d like to represent New Zealand in judo at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. “That’s the ultimate plan,” he said. His dad Pete, who also used to train in judo, said he was proud of where is son was heading. “He’s going really well, and he trains hard,” he said. “He’s just really, really focused.”

Kieran Leng has collected a raft of medals at regional and national competitions this year, and hopes to add Oceania gold to the collection.

King earns semi final spot

Squash star Joelle King was set to play in the women’s world champs quarter finals this week after a victory over Hong Kong’s Annie Au.

New Zealand squash pro and Cambridge resident Joelle King secured her place in the quarter finals at the Women’s Squash World Championships in Egypt earlier this week with a decisive victory over Hong Kong’s Annie Au. The 49-minute match on Tuesday morning, King’s third round in the competition, saw her win three of four rounds at 8-11, 11-6, 11-8 and 16-14. The 31-year-old Cambridge squash star, ranked number six in the world, was due to face second seed and reigning world champ Nour El Sherbini of Egypt on Thursday (NZ time) in the quarter final match. The game was scheduled for a stunning location – on a court set up in front of the Egyptian Pyramids.

It is the third consecutive year that King has made the quarter-finals of the women’s world champs. Meanwhile fellow Kiwi squash pro Paul Coll won a marathon quarter-final game at the Egyptian Open Platinum tournament on Wednesday (NZ time), being played simultaneously at the same venue as the women’s world champs.

The 27-year-old defeated Egypt’s Fares Dessouky 11-6, 5-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-9 in 82 minutes. World number-five Coll, from Greymouth, was scheduled to play Egyptian world number-one Ali Farag in the semi-finals on Thursday, also set to play in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

STIHL SHOP Cambridge 42 Victoria Street Main Street, Cambridge Ph:07 827 6763

Kate Mickleson has qualified herself as a professional body builder following on from her first body building competition last month, where the former Cambridge resident won the bikini division overall and was crowned Miss Wellington. She took part in the NZ Nationals Pro Qualifier event over the weekend and earned her pro-card, securing a place to compete amongst the country’s best at the NZIFBB Nationals in March 2020. The event is the national championships of the New Zealand Federation of Body Building and Fitness, contended by the country’s best professional and amateur body builders. The 26-year-old registered nurse said she was overwhelmed by the result. “Earning my pro status in the IFBB provides endless opportunities,” she said. “For now, my partner and coach Frank Carroll and I plan to take a short off season to make improvements before choosing my first pro show to compete in, overseas Kate Mickleson has secured her pro-card for the NZIFBB in 2020.” Nationals in March 2020.

OMF Stakes likely for Concert Hall

Group Three winner Concert Hall is set to back-up at Ellerslie next Tuesday after running home well for fifth over 1600m at Te Rapa on Labour Day. “There was a bit of rain around in the late afternoon and the track really loosened up and that meant she really never felt comfortable in the footing,” said Robert Wellwood, who trains the mare in partnership with Roger James. “Her last 100m was the best, but she didn’t have a lot of room up the straight. We were pleased with the run under the circumstances.” Concert Hall (pictured right) was nominated for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton next month, but her connections have elected to keep her closer to home. “We left her in the Coupland’s Mile just to keep our options open,” Wellwood said. “It’s a long trip down there and we have got other plans with her throughout the summer. “We will look to stay up here and will probably throw a nomination in for the OMF Stakes (Gr.3, 2000m) next Tuesday at Ellerslie and from there potentially onto a Counties Cup (Gr.3,

2100m). “There are plenty of other nice options over Christmas, but we will take it step-by-step.” Meanwhile, the Kingsclere team are happy with the progress of Rondinella in Melbourne. The daughter of Ocean Park has finished runner-up in both the Gr.2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) and Gr.3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m) and her trainers are looking forward to stepping her up in

distance next week. “Rondinella is going well,” Wellwood said. “She will be nominated for both the Mackinnon (Gr.1, 2000m) and Matriarch (Gr.2, 2000m), but will more than likely run in the Matriarch. “We are pretty proud to see her competing so well over a mile there, although it is well short of her best. “She is very well and we are looking forward to stepping her up over 2000m.”

one was too short for him,” Old said. “We were ready to fire him up over a mile and a half and never quite got there. He did his tendon just after his Benalla Cup run.” Old is taking a patient approach with the six-year-old gelding and said his future racing would likely remain closer to home. “We will get him up for early spring next year. I think we will keep him closer to home, there is some money for him here.” Old has had a bit of misfortune of late, with promising galloper Super Hoof also sidelined through injury. The five-year-old son of Cape Blanco was showing a lot of potential on the track, winning three of his eight career starts, including back-to-back wins over 2100m in his last two starts. Old was eyeing a Gr.3 New Zealand

Cup (3200m) berth next month, but injury curtailed those plans. “We’ve just had a bit of a niggle with him,” he said. “It’s not major, but just enough to keep him on the sidelines for a little bit. “I had to pull him out of the New Zealand Cup because he missed so much work. “Hopefully we can move forward with him in the next few days. If he is sound enough, we will push on and target some Cups through summer. “I think he is very promising. He is still learning and it looks like he will stay all day.” Although two of his stable stars are sitting on the sidelines, Old is looking forward to the future, with the potential of having two leading prospects for next year’s New Zealand Cup.

The son of Rip Van Winkle was showing promising signs in Australia in the care of trainer Patrick Payne before he injured a tendon. “He’s back in New Zealand and is out at Eoin Kemp’s place at the moment,” Old said. “He is just doing rehab on his tendon, which he tweaked in Australia. It is not major, but it is enough to put him out for nine months.” Bizzwinkle had two starts in Victoria for a first-up 11th placing over 1700m at Flemington, while he impressed with his last start third-placing in the Benalla Gold Cup (2046m). “They were both good, but the first

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Refinancing Your Mortgage

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with. You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees. • You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it. Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business. • You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward. This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio. • Your lender has asked you to refinance. You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage. Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs. At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you. Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation. 55 Victoria Street, Cambridge (between BNZ & LJ Hooker)

Yule be right “Bring out the figgy pudding” rings the Christmas song. But what is it and how is it made? Originating in England in the 1600s, this fruit pudding was the forerunner of the Christmas plum pudding — neither of which generally contained figs or plums. The pudding was a mixture of dried fruits steeped in brandy or sherry, with bread, spices and suet and which was either baked, boiled or steamed. Originally animal casing was used to wrap the pudding while it boiled in the laundry ‘copper’. Later the cloth wrap was introduced. Because the puddings were time consuming to prepare, they were made well in advance so the cook could recover and the pudding mellow. Suet (kidney fat) has largely been replaced by butter or solid vegetable fat (I use half the amount of butter to suet) which has also eliminated the sometimes ‘old-fashioned’ cooking odour. But whether baking, boiling or microwaving your Christmas sweet treats, please follow these rules. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Measurements should be level and preferably metric. Spoon the flour into a measuring cup to the required level — do not pack or shake down. Use heavy cake pans or line with two layers of baking paper. Although it is not necessary to grease the pans if they are to be lined, doing so ensures the paper sticks firmly to the pan and does not shift while you spoon in the mixture. Makes your treats well ahead so the flavours mellow and they are easier to cut.

Mondo Homes embracing change

ondo Homes might be a new name in the building industry but the team is certainly not new to the industry. In creating Mondo Homes, they have pooled together years of experience and industry knowledge to provide a specialised building service that utilises their talents and latest technology. The business was established to fill a gap in the market. “We recognised a need to enhance in-depth personal touches when building houses, and the need to work closer with clients,” says managing director Noel Shaw. “We put the client first.” Mondo Homes also saw the importance of moving with the times. “These days a building company needs to be in a position to adapt to changes and have the ability to embrace new technologies when they come available, particularly when it comes to scheduling the contractors on

a job and ensuring deadlines are met.” The Cambridge-based company specialises in design and build. To achieve the perfect home, the team believes the needs of the owners must be met. As well as liaising with clients to discover their requirements and see how they live, factors like budget, section configuration, sun and wind are also taken into account. Homes are then designed to match all these needs. For those wanting to speed up the building process, Mondo Homes offers house and land packages. Having all the thinking and planning done by an experienced team can

be very appealing to home owners. Whatever the option, the Mondo team know that the key to a successful stressfree build is management. Their experience in putting together finance packages, through to the understanding of good house design and quality control, makes them

the best choice when it comes to building. And to make things even easier, the Mondo team prepares a video walk-through of the completed concept plans to help people visualise their new home before it’s even started.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE A terminator (Gabriel Luna) is sent after auto worker Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) and her family — but enhanced human fighter Grace (Mackenzie Davis) arrives just in time to rescue her, followed swiftly by Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). The pair must keep Dani alive to save the future. As familiar lines are spun in new ways and we build to a heavy metal clash of a finale, this occasionally leans too heavily on the homage but mostly, remarkably, feels like a worthy descendant rather than a cheap cash-in. Sarah must challenge her presumptions, Grace must learn a sort of peace after a lifetime of war, and Dani finds a faith that will serve her well in the years to come. For the first time in a long time, we can look to the future of Terminator with hope.

HILLARY OCEAN TO SKY For this feature-length documentary Michael Dillon revisits his award-winning doco From the Ocean to the Sky, about Edmund Hillary's Ganges jet boat expedition. Back in 1977, Dillon filmed Hillary and crew (including son Peter Hillary) as they jet boated from the mouth of the Ganges to the base of the Himalayas, then set out to climb peak Akash Parbat. Dillon has remastered existing and unseen footage, and interviewed crew members about Hillary's last big expedition. For the people of India, it was a pilgrimage led by a hero of almost god-like status and millions lined the river to watch him pass in his 'miraculous' jet boats. For Ed and his 22-year-old son, Peter, it was a healing journey too, as they came to terms with the recent loss of Ed's beloved wife, Louise and daughter Belinda.

Equidays draws a full house More than 17,000 horse enthusiasts visited the Mystery Creek Events Centre for the country’s largest celebration of all things equine. The four-day Equidays event featured almost 200 equine businesses, some introducing new products and services to the market and others sharing their expert knowledge and techniques. The Kaimanawa Heritage Horses competitions showcased the horses in the showing arena and Mounted Games. Retired racehorses also shared time in the spotlight taking part in the Beyond the Barriers competitions. The event raised over $13,500 for the Breast Cancer Foundation and a Saturday Equitainment Extravaganza Nightshow sold out with around 2,200 people in the crowd. It featured New Zealand’s first game of indoor polo, a performance from the New Zealand junior vaulting team, the Equidays Top Talent finalists, and performances from other equestrian entertainers. “We’re really happy with how the event went this year,” said Equidays Event Manager Ammie Hardie.

The Saturday Equitainment Extravaganza Nightshow at Equidays featured New Zealand’s first known game of polo played indoors.
