AROUND 2000 people gathered at the finish line on Sumner beach to cheer the Speight’s Coast to Coast competitors home on Saturday, the biggest crowd for 10 years, organiser Robin Judkins says. “They came later this time to watch the Longest Day competitors come home. The last people left after 11pm when the last competitors had arrived.” The following day, after the 30th running of the Speight’s Coast to Coast, Mr Judkins said he was finding it increasingly strange to think he had been doing this for more than half his life. “I started thinking about it 33 years ago in Wanaka. When it started I thought it would last for three years.” He attributed the longevity of the event to the
fact that it has always been “a great challenge” for the competitors. It has also become an international event with competitors from many different countries coming to take part and millions of people around the world logging on to the website. “Since it has been on the internet it has gone from one and a half million hits to 16.6 million this year.” The weather was a major factor this time, Mr Judkins said. “This year it was beautiful. Wherever it was raining, we weren’t there. We were between two fronts. “We got a personal weather forecast from the Met Service and that was significant for the event. We gave out the forecast at the safety briefing on Thursday night. It was so accurate.
It was predicted to start raining at 10pm and stop at 5am the next morning and it did. “For me, this year was more about old times and I did something I hadn’t done since 1982. I watched the start of the two-day event kayaking, and seeing hundreds of kayaks in the river was spectacular,” Mr Judkins said. He took part in the first event in 1982 to test it out, taking 22.5 hours. A number of people who had competed previously in the Coast to Coast participated in this year’s anniversary event. And for the first time, a husband and wife, Richard and Elina Ussher, took out the men’s and women’s one day competition. Mt Judkins planned to continue as organiser and was looking forward to the 40th running of the event.

DRAINS AND DEVELOPMENTS Excavation & Drainage
Free service takes stress out of grocery shopping
Drains and Developments demoli on excava on and drainage
Drains and Developments are a father and son team that have been opera ng for over 20 years, serving both the domes c and commercial market. CERA accredited and City Council approved, the Drains and Developments team can do all hill and site excava on or demoli on work, as well as post-earthquake work. With extensive experience all forms of drainage, founda ons, earthworks, ground stabilisa on and stability inves ga ons, and specialising in hill side dig outs and levelling, rock breaking, and retaining walls, Drains and Developments can work with you or your building contractor to get the work done right the first me.
Easy shopping: Gerard Timings, left, Jacqui Bullmore, James Dobinson, Jill Jefferies, and driver Courtenay Stickels ready to return to Lyttelton with full shopping bags.
Christine de Felice The Dovedale site (above) is located on the Teachers College campus where 47 Prefab buildings were added a er the February earthquake. The Drains and Developments team worked here and at the Kirkwood site (located at the University campus, where 57 prefab buildings were added) from March un l November 2011. The D & D team did all the underground work, pu ng in reten on ponds, sumps, storm-water, sewer and down pipes.
The Drains and Development team built the roads in and out of the site, as well as the kerbing, car parking and exposed aggregate paths.
LYTTELTON residents missing their local supermarket now have the option of using a weekly free grocery run to and from Christchurch. A nine-seater van, which is shared by the Lyttelton Community House and Lyttelton Harbour Basin Youth Council, is used for the service. It was donated to them last year by Cholmondeley. Community development and outreach worker Courtenay Stickels, who runs the service, said that with the Lyttelton supermarket currently closed, there were a lot of people in the town who didn’t have easy access to a supermarket, either through not having their own transport or due to financial difficulties. “The van was available, so we thought it was a good idea to use it. We started three weeks before Christmas and did a couple of runs with a small handful of people. We got it going again after the Christmas break.” Between four and eight people have been using the service so far, and they would like more people to take advantage of it, Ms Stickels said.
The van leaves the community house at 1pm on Wednesday and passengers are taken into one or two of several supermarkets in the city around the Moorhouse Avenue, Colombo Street area, depending on the passengers’ preference on the day. Once they have completed their shopping, they are taken back to their own home in Lyttelton, usually arriving at about 3.30pm. “It means people don’t have to carry 15kg bags of groceries up steep streets,” Ms Stickels said. “It’s just a humble little service, but it takes the stress out of grocery shopping for them.” Four satisfied shoppers who used the service on February 8 were Gerard Timings, Jacqui Bullmore, Jill Jefferies, and James Dobinson. “It’s absolutely wonderful. I would normally come in by bus,” Mr Timings said. “Courtenay is very good at helping us with the shopping and we save on the bus money,” Miss Jefferies said. Note: The service may not be available on Wednesday, February 22. Passengers should check if it is running that day by calling Lyttelton Community House 03 7411 427.

RAPAKI Track in the Port Hills reopened for public use on the morning of December 23 and was not adversely affected by the aftershocks that occurred later that day. The track was closed following the February 22 earthquake. Since then, Christchurch City Council Park Rangers had been working with geotechnical engineers to identify hazards such as rockfall or track structure damage, and had been mitigating these hazards. The council reminds people using tracks on the Port Hills that there is still an element of risk following the earthquakes and many tracks remain closed. While the ‘closed’ signs on the Rapaki track have been removed, the
council wants track users to realise that there may be hazards such as loose rocks and an increased risk of rock fall as a result of the earthquakes. Some council tracks and parks remain closed on the Port Hills because the facilities are in the process of being made safe for public use. The council recommends track users acknowledge and respect the signage that conveys this message. Any new earthquake or severe weather events could result in the re-closure of tracks due to hazard risks, so people wanting to use them are advised to check www.ccc.govt.nz/ trackstatus for regular updates.

Zumba fun benefits school and community Thea Mickell HEATHCOTE’S Community Zumba began early last winter when local gyms and facilities were out of action following the earthquake. We decided to come up with our own answer to the lack of services and create a fundraiser at the same time. We were lucky to have in our midst Mahla Manty-Worrell – dancer, entertainer and Zumba teacher extraordinaire. She agreed to teach one class at first, which proved so popular it was quickly extended to two evenings. Everyone seems to enjoy Zumba with Mahla. As she says, “When you look around the class all you see is smiles.� Participants find that dancing is great fun and a happy release from the pressures of life as we now know it. We have created a community activity that benefits not only those who attend, but also the school. All profits from the classes are donated to Heathcote Valley School to thank them for the use of the school hall. To date, around $1000 has been raised. We hope to at least double that figure during 2012. One of the most pleasing aspects of the
Dancing for fun: A community Zumba class in action.
Zumba classes is how many families come along. We charge $2 per person or $5 per family, and there are many mothers who bring their daughters, which is a fantastic way to promote health and family wellbeing. We also have participants from outside Heathcote. They come from Parklands, Bishopdale, Sumner and elsewhere. We put this down to Mahla, who creates such a fun party atmosphere. Community Zumba is on Mondays at 5.30pm and Wednesdays at 6.30pm. For cancellations or updates, check out Zumba with Mahla on Facebook. Thea Mickell is the organiser and sponsor of Community Zumba.
Dead birds causing concern RECENTLY, birds have been found dead along the banks of the oxidation ponds at the Christchurch wastewater treatment plant. The Christchurch City Council, NIWA, and Fish and Game New Zealand are working together to determine what has caused the deaths at the oxidation ponds and other wetland areas in the eastern parts of the city. Local ornithologists and vets at Massey University are also investigating. The initial diagnosis is avian botulism, a natural phenomenon that has occurred around the world and in New Zealand wetland areas. Specialist testing is being undertaken to
confirm this and the council hopes to have information within a few days. Until the exact cause is known, the council recommends the public and pets to stay away from infected or dead birds. Anyone who finds dead or infected birds in the Bromley area is asked to contact the council on 941 8999. About avian botulism Avian botulism is a paralysing disease caused by botulism bacterium. Birds suffering from it will be sluggish and will struggle to use their wings, raise their heads, or feed. It cannot be transferred to humans.

Creative friendship: Kath Preston, left, and Angie Robinson display a painting of their WOW design, Behind Closed Doors.
Another achievement for Sumner designers Christine de Felice HAVING their design selected for the recent World of Wearable Arts presentation at the Hong Kong Arts Festival was the latest achievement for Sumner designers Angie Robinson and Kath Preston, and the latest outing for their successful design, Behind Closed Doors. As Mrs Robinson says, “She keeps popping up.” Runner-up in the creative excellence section at the 2009 WOW awards, the piece was purchased by WOW, and displayed in the Nelson World of Wearable Arts Museum. Then, last year it was one of 100 WOW designs selected for the Hong Kong festival. Mrs Preston said she felt very excited about being selected and proud of Behind Closed Doors and her ongoing public appearances. “We just don’t know where she is going to turn up next. I was really keen to go and see her on stage again, but the timing didn’t work out, sadly.” Mrs Robinson said that of all the art entries at WOW, it was an honour to have their piece selected for the Hong Kong Arts Festival. “The continuing recognition of the work I put into the piece is very rewarding,” she said. The two former school friends and now mothers - Mrs Robinson has two girls and Mrs Preston has two boys - were always interested in creative pursuits, including studying interior design. They had both wanted to enter the WOW awards and when the timing was right, decided to collaborate on their entry. “We are on the same wavelength; we see each other’s vision,” Mrs Robinson said. Behind Closed Doors represents a woman’s life, a glamorous image on the outside, but behind closed doors she is behind the kitchen sink, the designers explained.
The piece was created from bench-top materials including 1900 white laminate samples and two large black sheets of laminate, and was designed to open out like a fan. The surprise element is a face that appears when the fan is spread out. Making the design work as they envisioned took a lot of thought and producing it was a huge time commitment, Mrs Robinson said. “Everything takes so long and there was a lot of trial and error.” Juggling family life with small children and other commitments made it especially difficult, the women said. However, both enjoyed the freedom that WOW allows designers. “You are not restricted. Basically, you can just create something and it’s accepted.” They would be keen to enter again if the timing was right for them. And for Mrs Preston, working for the WOW organisation would be even more exciting. “In my dreams, I would love to work for WOW. I would love to get involved in the show somehow.”

New home for city trams opens
Our emergency services Coppers’ Corner LAST week was the first day back at school for the majority of local children. I visited some of our schools and was pleased to see parents arriving early, parking considerately, and making the school a safe place for the kids. Let’s keep this up please. You are probably aware that the police are enforcing a 4km/h tolerance for speed. Let’s remember the speed limit is that, not a target to reach. Enforcement of speed limits reduces crashes and allows hospitals to focus on the sick rather than crash victims. Once again, slow down or be prepared to give money to the government coffers and get some demerit points. It’s good to see the owner of the maltworks in the process of demolishing the silo and old buildings. I understand that the site is to be developed, which is good news for local Heathcote residents.
With the loss of our station, you will see some developments in the next couple of months. We are getting a temporary building whilst awaiting the demolition of the old station and rebuild of a new one. We are also in the process of negotiating with fire and ambulance to see if there is a possibility of sharing a facility. Police, fire, and ambulance are working hard to continue to service the community despite the damage to buildings. My thanks go to the volunteers for giving up their time in serving the community. On that note, be safe out there, look after each other, and enjoy life. Gary Manch Sergeant Lyttelton
ABOUT 80 people turned out for the opening of the new tram storage building at Ferrymead on Saturday, February 4, which was also the 17th anniversary of the opening of the city tramway in 1995. Officially opened by Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker, the new building, Tram Barn 3, was built to accommodate the city tramway trams, which were relocated from the central city several weeks after the February 22 earthquake. With no covered storage immediately available, the trams were exposed to the weather and it quickly became apparent that they needed a home. A fundraising campaign was launched to cover the cost of a lightweight shed, which was around $90,000. The youngest fundraiser at the event, six-year-old Lachlan Jansen, had been so
concerned about the trams being left outside, he ran a fudge stall in his driveway, raising $40. In recognition of his efforts, he was appointed as Mr Parker’s assistant for the opening. After the formal opening, guests enjoyed a barbeque lunch and took rides on the trams. “Everyone seemed to enjoy it and we had lots of positive comments,” president of the Tramway Historical Society, Graeme Belworthy said. To date, the fundraising has brought in more than $100,000, which includes a $49,700 grant from the Christchurch Earthquake Mayoral Relief Fund. “We will keep going with it as we need more money to purchase a sprinkler system, an alarm system, and concrete flooring for the shed,” Mr Belworthy said.
Cycling popular, but streets hazardous Tony Dowell ONE of the great things here, even in these post-earthquake times, is that we can still get out and about. Although the recent long weekend was not the best weather-wise, I hope you were able to get out and breathe fresh air. A hugely popular pastime in Christchurch is cycling, as a way of keeping fit, saving petrol costs, and having fun. Most days, Hagley Park is chocka with cyclists. Evans Pass is undergoing work postquakes, but I’m sure we’ll soon see cyclists steadfastly working their way up the Port Hills.
I’d like to take a moment to talk about cycle safety in Christchurch. There have been some terrible incidents where cyclists have been knocked off their bicycles. Christchurch man Kevin Dudley almost lost his leg in January and is calling for the streets to be made safe. A recent campaign for cycle safety was “1 Bike, 1 Car, 1 Second” by Gracie and Annie Nichols, who raised money for St John while raising awareness of cycle safety. All of this is to emphasise that our streets are not the safest at present. With many streets quake-damaged, St
John encourages everyone to take care on the roads. Official party in front of the new tram shed Potholes, flooding, holes, and the dreaded dust and rubble, pose dangers especially on main roads like Ferry Road and Main Road through to Sumner. Christchurch residents have some challenges on the roads Amy and Lucy Adams at the moment and getting around the city is one of them. Let’s all make sure that everyone gets a fair chance and stays safe, no matter what form of transport we use. Tony Dowell is the St John district operations manager Graeme Belworthy Larry Day and John Christchurch. and Jonathan Day Honeybone

Electrical Earthquake WIRING ISSUES
Repairs
We have been involved with a number of earthquake repairs of residen al homes around Christchurch in the past year. Issues rela ng to electrical wiring that have become apparent and present challenging mes for the homeowner, the electrician and the builder.
EQC DOES NOT ASSESS YOUR WIRING While EQC does a very thorough job of assessing your house, the electrical wiring is not included in their scope of works.
HAS MY WIRING BEEN DAMAGED BY THE EARTHQUAKES? This is a really difficult ques on to answer as to prove that every wire in your house is in good condi on, would require a complete disconnec on of every socket, switch and light fi ng to carry out the tests. In my opinion and in the opinion of many others in the electrical industry, we feel some older wiring types were in a fragile state prior to the earthquakes and as a safety precau on may require replacement, as the repeated movement could have caused damage. Damaged wiring could cause overhea ng and become a fire risk.
PRE 1970’ S HOUSES SHOULD BE CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN As a general rule if the wiring colour is black and made of rubber it could be damaged and require replacement, if it is white (t.p.s) it is probably OK. Any of the older wiring (pre 1950’s) – conduits, wooden casing’s etcc should be replaced.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? 1.
2. 3. 4.
Contact an electrical contractor or an electrical inspector to check your house prior to any repairs star ng. For a preliminary discussion it should cost you less than $100. If repairs are required contact your insurer and EQC to establish who should pay. Book your electrician in as early as possible to carry out repairs. Don’t panic – check the ba eries in your smoke detector.
THE GOOD NEWS
Due to houses currently being under repair, it makes it easy for us to get wires around your house. It is also a great opportunity to upgrade your ligh ng, add sockets, instal media systems or computer outlets.

The meat and fish is prime quality with aged beef and lamb, specially raised pork (no crates or stalls), duck from North Canterbury, and salmon from the famed Akaroa Harbour,” says Amelia. Even the eggs are fresh from a local farm. “We make the majority of the menu items ourselves and use tradi onal and me-honoured methods of prepara on and cooking techniques.

Look out for the signs Tanya Jenkins WHEN you next go for a meander around the unique Charlesworth wetland area, look out for signs. Interpretation signs, that is! A number of these have recently been placed around the area to indicate where bird life can be viewed, planting has occurred, a little history, and of course, some guidance for those who take their four-legged friends along. It is amazing how much interesting information the Christchurch City Council has managed to place on some of the larger signs. There has been much confusion over the years regarding dogs being allowed in the wetland or not. We have clear parameters now. It is never
nice to be “told what to do or not to do�, but yes, there are some areas declared as “No Go� for dogs. This is not because anyone is against dog owners taking their friends for a walk, but we have to remember that we are sharing this wetland with some unique bird wildlife that needs to feed, rest, and nest without harassment from dogs. There is absolutely no problem with dogs let off the lead to run and play with other dogs, but please, only in the areas indicated on the signs. As a dog owner myself, I find it most helpful to have it clearly stated where I can let my dog run and where birds can be found enjoying the wetland. While we are talking about dogs, I would like to take the opportunity to thank those dog owners I have seen that actually pick up their ‘doggie doos’ and take it home for disposal. Can I make a plea to others to do the same as you can imagine how we feel when grabbing a handful of doggie doo whilst weeding there. Please consider those people who work many hours towards the enhancement of this wetland and “pick it up and take it home� to dispose of it.

THIS Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19, the Mount Pleasant Community Association and Mount Pleasant School are joining forces to hold a Pleasant Day Out starting at midday Saturday. The music and community event has been organised to celebrate the resilience and community spirit shown by one of the suburbs most damaged in the big quake on February 22, 2011. To commemorate that eventful day, we will have camping and BBQs on the school grounds, along with 24 hours of music, food, videos, poetry, and community stalls. We will finish with a memorial celebration service on Sunday, February 19. The main stage will host local musicians performing from midday to midnight, with everything from rock to jazz, blues to choirs, schools to professionals, DJs, and ukeleles. The student stage will host younger residents singing, performing, DJing, karaoke, and lip-synching. Italian pizzas, Spanish paella, Argentinian empenadas, German sausages, French crepes,
and Egyptian pastries and meals will be available at the international food court. Joe Davies’ film documentary Mt Pleasant, The Forgotten Suburb will be shown continually through the day and copies will be available for purchase. Community stalls, clowns, poetry readings, and compositions will complement the activities. Camping is available to residents (in memory of the use of the school as an emergency centre for 300 residents) with priority given to those hundreds of families displaced by the damage to their homes. Activities continue on Sunday with breakfast, storytelling, and more fun and games. The whole event will conclude with a memorial celebration service at 10.30am on the field. This is an opportunity for the Mount Pleasant community to come together and share music, stories, community, comradeship, and kai as we begin rebuilding our damaged homes and planning our future together. Tom Davies is co-organiser of the Pleasant Day Out.
Healthy heroes get their rewards Barbara Crooks
AT the end of last term, 26 students at Woolston School and eight at Bamford School celebrated their completion of the Rotary Healthy Heroes Challenge and received rewards and certificates for their efforts. The programme was supported by the Rotary Club of Ferrymead. The children at Woolston School received their rewards at an assembly and the children at Bamford Street School held a special lunch to celebrate. Rewards included T-shirts, kites, Frisbees, snakes and ladder games, and fruit vouchers. To complete the challenge, each day for nine weeks the children had to have at least 30 minutes of physical activity (e.g. walking, swimming), eat three vegetables and two pieces of fruit, have an agreed bedtime and
get eight to 10 hours sleep each night, stretch the mind through reading, mind games, music, art, and the like, and help others at home, school, and in the community. They were encouraged by their teachers Raewyn Maher at Woolston School and Jill Hubbard at Bamford School and visiting social worker James Souter. The children who were not able to complete the challenge still learnt from the programme. The children who took part said they enjoyed the challenge, but found getting the eight to 10 hours sleep every night the most difficult. We hope to be able to support another challenge next year in each of the schools. Barbara Crooks is a member of the Rotary Club of Ferrymead

Sumner hosts film season THE Hollywood 3 Cinema will host the Canterbury Film Society’s 2012 season from March 12. Timeless classics this season include the 1945 film noir classic Mildred Pierce starring Joan Crawford, who won an Oscar as the heroine of James M Cain’s pulp-fiction tale of a dumped wife forced to become a waitress to support her kids during the Great Depression. Another of Cain’s novels, the 1934 crime classic The Postman Always Rings Twice, is in this year’s line up. Jerichow, a 2008 refit of The Postman set in beautiful, yet economically hard-pressed, northeast Germany will also screen. The film by Christian Petzold was his fourth collaboration with lead actress Nina Hoss. The line-up of documentaries includes Nenette, a heartwarming story of a 40-yearold orangutan; Buddha’s Lost Children, about a Thai monk and a homeless boy; and three freshly-subtitled from South America that have never screened in an Englishspeaking country include Ilsa Negra, Illa
Blanca, an exploration of architecture via poetry, following the collaboration between Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and his friend and architect Germ Rodrigues Arias. Also from South America, taking international festivals by storm, is A Mao e a Luva – The Story of a Book Trafficker. From Asia, there is a martial arts epic from Hong Kong, Ashes of Time Redux (2008); a gentle satire of hierarchal life in rural China, Two Great Sheep (2004); and Last Train Home (2009), the story of a couple on a journey home for Chinese New Year along with 130 million other migrant workers. One of the strongest seasons to date will also feature two ‘60s Czech rarities, two ‘70s gems from Australia, shorts by Iranian director Kamran Shirdel, as well as local favourites, Geoff Murphy’s Blerta Revisited (2001) and Florian Habicht’s subversive musical fairy-tale Woodenhead (2003). Screenings are held at the Hollywood on most Mondays at 6.30pm. For a full listing of the CFS 2012 season, please visit www. canterburyfilmsociety.org.nz.
Exhibition depicts reaction to earthquakes
Quake expressions: Piece from the Land Force exhibition by Gill Hay.
Wearable flowers return to show WHAT NEXT?: Internationally renowned costume and fabric artist Jenny Gillies has joined forces with Treetech to present A Wonderland of Wearable Flowers at next month’s Ellerslie International Flower Show. Ms Gillies, who wowed crowds at the 2009 show with her Wearable Weeds floral artwear collection, said she was excited about exhibiting in Christchurch for the first time in two years. “For the last three years I have spent a lot of time working on big shows for the Royal Adelaide Show – it will be fantastic to be back showing my works of art in my home town.” Ms Gillies said she hoped visitors would enjoy viewing her 50 garments, which would be displayed in a wonderland of trees. “It will be quite spectacular with the cos-
THE Little River Gallery’s new exhibition Land Force by Gill Hay opens this Saturday and runs until March 14. The exhibition comprises three large works and a series of smaller pieces. The medium used in the art works were charcoal, acrylic, and oil and the work is on unstretched canvas. “The force of what happened last year and the power of the land affected us all. The repercussions pervades life and these paintings are my reaction to the hills that surround my Lyttelton home and the power
they have,” Ms Hay said. “I made a conscious decision to go back to basics and just draw this land using a monochromatic palette. Included is a part of a painting that was damaged and this became my departure point for this show. On a purely practical level, every time I started painting on stretched canvas at my easel, there was another shake and the painting would fall and rip. So I just took pieces of canvas pinning them straight on the walls where they couldn’t fall off and began.”

Waves not the best, but should improve THE wave quality over the past few weeks hasn’t been great. We have had some long flat spells and then a solid week of waves last week, but the persistent NE winds meant surface conditions were pretty lumpy. However, if you managed to get out on the right tide, there were some fun waves to be had. Hopefully, we can get into a better weather pattern for the rest of February and into March, traditionally our best months for good surf. The water temperature is still nice at 18 degrees Celsius. The contest scene has been in full swing. The final event of the South Island Grom Series was held in Gore Bay at the end of January. This three-event series is for young surfers under 17 years of age. Harrison Whiteside and Max Marshall both made the final in the U17s. Harrison had a convincing win, ‘combo’ing the entire field in the final and Max placed third. The 30th annual Go for Gold competition, event two of the South Island surfing circuit, was held at Greymouth in pumping two to three-foot peaks at Cobden beach. Local surfer Johnny Fenton, now living in Karamea, made a comeback to compete to win the Grand Masters, placed second in the Masters, and also finished third in the invitational event. Alethea Lock (Sumner) won the open women’s with Kristi Zarifeh (Sumner) a close second. Neil Robb was second in the grand masters and his son, Niwa Ututaonga, placed second in the cadets. Aaron Lock was fourth in the seniors. The Hyundai longboarding tour event three was held at Sandy Bay, Northland recently. It doubled as the first event of the ASP Australian longboarding tour and attracted some amazing
talent including ASP world longboarding champion Taylor Jensen, who went on to win. Local surfers also competed, with Grant Cochrane placing third in the over 50s. Steve Tyro was a stand-out in the early rounds of the over 40s, but didn’t make it to the final, although Steve Andrews made it into the semis. Stand-up paddler Shayne Baxter continued his good form, placing second in the SUP event. The date of the Canterbury women’s champs has been changed until March 3 to 4 and the men’s event will run at the end of March. The Billabong Grom Series continues in the North Island this month, with local surfer Harrison Whiteside chasing the series. Local longboarders will travel north again in March for the final event of the Hyundai longbard series at Port Waikato.

WHILE most of Sumner Running Club’s junior members had a break over the holidays, a few took the opportunity to compete. First up in the New Year was the Lovelock Meeting on January 7 in Timaru. It was a very soggy start to the day, but this did not deter the Sumner competitors. Blake Theobald (7), John Wells (8), and Thomas Webley (10) were the winners of their respective age groups. Blake achieved five wins from five starts, John two wins and three seconds, and Thomas two wins and two seconds plus the 200m club record. Meanwhile, their sisters took out the 10 year girls 800m with a clean one, two, three sweep. Abby Theobald clocked her first sub-threeminute 800m, while Meg Webley narrowly missed the same by one second. Victoria Wells ran the second-fastest first time 800m. The girls also achieved PBs in all their events. The following weekend, Tilly Pritchard, Josh and Millie Edmond carried the club’s banner at the Colgate Games in Nelson. Again, in variable conditions, they had an outstanding competition. Tilly in the nine year girls claimed gold in the 100m and long jump with a PB of 3.57m, silver in 60m, and bronze in the shot put. Millie in the seven year girls also achieved gold in the shot put and long jump with a PB of 2.86m, silver in the discus, and a bronze in the 200m. Josh competing in the 10 year boys faced stiff

competition; however, he produced a PB in the discus. He was unfortunately disqualified in the track walk in which he was looking to take out third place. On February 4, Sumner was invited to participate at the International Track Meet at Christ’s College. It was an exciting opportunity as Valerie Adams, Jacko Gill, and Nick Willis, to name but a few, were also at the meet. Representing Sumner in the boys 10 to 11 years 4 x 100m relay were Thomas Webley, Josh Edmond, Harri Langworthy, Sam Caldwell, and John Wells (8 - reserve). They were the only true 10-year-old team and ran well in a time of 64.32secs to be only narrowly beaten on the line by North Canterbury.
