MARLBOROUGH’S COMMUNITY NOTICES

HOME AND GARDEN SHOW PHOTOS

SAMMIE’S OPENS

We normally celebrate Matariki with a big family dinner before going up to the Wither Hills and greet the Matariki stars on the first day they’re visible as a bit of a family tradition. Now we have to hope it’s not raining!

I love that it’s fully acknowledged finally and celebrated. I need to do a bit more research into events that are on to commemorate the holiday so we can get involved in those and learn a bit more.

Have to say I realise it must be boring being there for those hours, but vendors with their noses in their phones is a terrible look from a customer point of view. Even if I was interested if you have your nose in your phone, it says you are not interested in me. Two really did miss out due to this.

PRIMARY RUGBY SIDE CLEAN UP

Congratulations everyone, I remember winning in the under 52 about 20 years ago - great feeling, and singing a song on the way back to Blenheim on the bus was pretty cool.

Luke Deane

It was a great week of rugby. All teams were a credit to their Coaches/Manager’s, Unions and whānau. Congratulations on a well-deserved win.

Dee Sturgeon

So awesome, will definitely be in for a Sammie or 3.

Go Sammies! Sakim Sushi is doing really well in its new spot in the Forum - queues out the door at lunchtime too.

Betty Whyte

Awesome work Mr Smith!!

Heather Johnson

Won’t be doing much to celebrate as it doesn’t impact me – will be at work because I’m self-employed and spend a bit of time with the family – but I think it’s great to have.

I know it’s about the starsMāori New Year – and getting together and spending quality time with family so we’ll be doing that.

Well done fellas, just like we did in 1974 or 75 I think it was in the same place as well. Under 14, had to be under 11 stone. Few of us sat on the border line!

Geoff Morgan
