Stoke folk approve of centre design Kate Russell Designs for a $6 million community centre in Stoke have been given the thumbs up by local residents, who say that the facility will create a positive “focal point” for the suburb. The new venue, to be built at Greenmeadows Park, is what deputy mayor Paul Matheson calls “part one of the jigsaw for Stoke” and will be home to both community and sporting facilities. It will feature a main hall, function and “breakout” rooms, kitchens, offices, changing rooms, and storage space for rugby, tennis and cricket clubs.
The concept design plans for the facility, which have been designed by Nelson architects Jerram Tocker and Barron, were unveiled to the Stoke Seniors last Wednesday by Paul Matheson, who says that they thought the design was “very good”. “They liked the plans, but they were also concerned with functionality of the building, such as if the toilets were in the right place and if there was enough disabled parking,” says Paul. Plenty of ramps and somewhere to store mobile scooters were also a high priority for the seniors and Paul says

What better way to celebrate an American holiday than with an iconic symbol of American culture – gas-guzzling cars. From lean, mean Corvettes and Mustangs, to the colossal, tail-finned Plymouth’s, there was something for everyone at the
Nelson Rod and Custom Club’s Independence Day Cruise, last Saturday. The cruise began at the Suburban Club in Nelson and made its way to Riwaka and back, a distance of around 100km. Not only was the day a chance for on lookers to admire a display of American automobile history, the Independence Day Cruise
was also in support of a very good cause. Everyone who took part in the cruise paid an entry fee of $5 and by the end of the day the event managed to raise $500, which will all be going towards prostate cancer. There were 67 participants in the cruise, 64 from Nelson and a further three that were picked up in Motueka.
