Local lad down Pike River mine Local man Riki Steve Keane, 28, is among the trapped miners at the Pike River Mine.

Riki has two children, aged 5 and 3, with his partner Olivia Krammer, a former Waimea College student.

The family lived in Brightwater while Riki co-owned a Richmond business and played rugby for Waimea Old Boys for several years.

He was working in the mine but left Pike River earlier this year along with a couple of other

miners after some perceived concerns over safety issues says his former colleague Brent Forrester of Richmond. Brent, former owner of Sundial Square’s coffee cart, worked on the same crew as the trapped miners and is now in Australia. He says he thought Riki had left the mine and only realized he hadn’t when he saw Olivia on television news in Australia.

Riki was an original partner in Richmond based company Rapid Roofing. He is a friend of the pre-

sent partners at the firm, who naturally are shocked by the mining accident and are holding on to hope that the miners will somehow be rescued alive.

Riki returned to Pike River Mine as a contractor working on roofing and guttering at the site and for the company.

Rapid Roofing partner Gavin Briggs says Riki is a nice guy, full of go.

“We’re all hoping for the best but aren’t comfortable talking about the situation publicly until this horrible situation is resolved.”

A keen rugby player, Riki played several season’s for Waimea playing for the senior A and B sides. His former coach at Waimea, Dave Jefferies, says Riki has been loyal to the club, even coming along to watch games after he moved away. “He loves the game, was a dynamic line breaker and is very competitive. He always wanted to play first five but I liked him as a fullback because he was ‘Mr Safety’. Whenever he came back he’d pop along and come say g’day in the clubrooms.”

Dave says the club is hoping for a positive outcome.

New gym could boost ‘sports star factory’ It’s amazing to consider Waimea College’s magnificent new gymnasium, which officially opens this Friday, may help produce even more national sports representatives and champions in future.

This year the school has turned out an incredible number of athletes who have been selected to regional and national teams, no fewer than eight volleyballers, three basketballers and several more in other sports have worn the silver fern.

School associate principal Faye Costain says with a pinch of pride, “We’ve been something of a sports star factory lately.”

The new gymnasium, very stylish in its brick cladding which inspired the ‘Buy a Brick’ sponsorship campaign raising $55,000 from local supporters, has three times the floor space of the original gym and includes a viewing balcony and modern administration spaces upstairs.

With a growing roll reaching about 1500 students Jessie Matthews and Jacob Berthelsen, who excel in sports at Waimea College, will open the new gymnasium on Friday school Faye says, “Not only had we outgrown the exContinued on page 2. with sports captains-elect, Hana Wilkinson and Tom Ingham.

This Saturday is the occasion of the Richmond Pak ‘n’ Save Santa Parade. We asked some locals if they intend coming into town to enjoy the excitement.

“Yes definitely. I’ll bring my wee girl in from Brightwater to see the fun and build anticipation towards Christmas.”

“Yes I’ll be there. My workplace (Pak ‘n’ Save) is a big sponsor of this year’s parade.”

“My grandchildren are very keen for me to come along, so I’ll be there.

Though I have had water pistols fired at me from floats in the past by kids who know me.”

“I live in Wakefield but I think it will be worth coming into town to see what’s going on, so yes I will.”

JUST-IN NEWS Mall manager perplexed by valuer’s report Bergman on the rise

Last week we reported local rugby league coach, scout and player development manager Paul Bergman underwent emergency surgery in Gold Coast Hospital for a fastgrowing brain stem tumour.

Paul’s brother, Phil who many locals know as the friendly and helpful chap at Control Services in Richmond, is delighted to report that Paul came through the operation better than even the most optimistic of hospital staff, friends and family could have hoped.

Phil, who went to Gold Coast hospital with other family members, says, “Paul is recovering very well, He naturally gets tired after talking to us for a while but indications are very good. As a family we’ve been humbled by all the calls of good wishes we’ve had.”

Richmond Mall manager David Hill says he’s perplexed and disappointed a Nelson firm of valuers has drawn and publicised erroneous and negative conclusions about the current state of business in the mall, without consulting him for the facts.

“That report couldn’t be further than the truth,” he says.

David told Waimea Weekly he heard with surprise that Duke and Cooke’s latest property report indicates we [the Mall] ‘continue to feel the effects of the [economic] downturn as several tenants have left the mall in favour of lower overall occupancy costs in Queen St’.

The actual truth is we’ve just enjoyed our most prosperous September-October period

FREE Drape Making* Mayor Richard Kempthorne and Kiwi Kitchen host Richard Till in the Battle of the Burgers.

With them are Aimee Climo and Jess Kempthorne who served as taste test guinea pigs. Complete with the mandatory top and filled with a bit more manly grunt as a good burger should be, the visitor’s creation was judged slightly superior. The mayor says not being a chef “it was one of the most nerve-wracking things I’ve had to do in public.”

Diverse show attracts large crowd While estimated as a similar size crowd to last year’s attendance, Nelson A&P Show manager Liz Harvey says it was an encouraging sign of progress to see so many patrons stay much longer at Richmond Park this time around.

“That’s an indication there was plenty to see and do for them and we noticed a lot of people who came on Saturday returned on Sunday which is also a positive sign.”

Show organizers and participants held their breaths as the weather forecast threatened much worse weather than what eventuated.

“We had the odd shower on Saturday but that may have been the clouds’ silver lining as many of the patrons moved indoors and saw and experienced a lot of things they may have otherwise walked past,” says Liz. To add spice to all the traditional show attrac-

tions – trade stalls, amusements and various competitions – popular television show host and cook book author Richard Till gave demonstrations and went head-to-head in culinary challenges with Mayor Richard Kempthorne and café owner Miles Drewery, going home with a win and a loss according to a panel of ‘laymen’ judges picked from the audience.

The Rural Wear & Tear competition made its first appearance at the show and Liz says the standard of entries and feedback from the audience has cemented this event on future schedules.

The Amazing Drumming Monkeys, touted as the greatest kids’ entertainment since Bananas in Pajamas, kept the children captivated during several sessions in front of the main grandstand.

“We met our budget expectations and all-in-all I’m very happy with the weekend,” says Liz.

Santa Claus is coming to town This Saturday at 12pm, Queen Street will come to life with fairytale characters from all your favourite books and films at the Richmond PAK ‘n SAVE Santa Parade.

African animals, the Little Mermaid, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and many more characters are busily preparing themselves for this magical community event.

On behalf of Richmond Unlimited, organisers Daniel Allan and Lisa Norriss, of the Body in Space theatre company, promise some very imaginative interpretations of well-known fairytales. Nelson Speedway have entered a race car to take Cinderella to the ball, there will be greyhounds dressed as characters from Shrek and a unicycling Little Red Riding Hood complete with Grandma.

Response from the community has been overwhelming with a record number of entries and local businesses willing to contribute. Footies Signs in Brightwater printed the parade signs for free. David Hill, manager of the Richmond Mall, has bent over backwards to make the parade a success with donations of vouchers, time and staff. Fulton Hogan has come to the party by donating the road closure equipment. Major sponsors, PAK ‘n SAVE, have been busy securing free drinks for pre-parade giveaways and have arranged for the Richmond School choir to perform before the parade.

Santa has made time in his busy schedule to arrive in Richmond for the parade and has told Lisa and Dan that if the weather is terrible, he is more than happy to come the next day. Listen to More FM on Saturday morning for Santa’s update.

After a year’s recess, it seems that the community are eager to see the parade return and make a great, big, fairytale impact. Free face painters will be in Sundial Square from 11am to help get you in costume and after the parade Nelson’s Samba de Sol will lead us into the awards ceremony.

Get your Christmas season off to a flying start with the Richmond PAK ‘n SAVE Santa Parade this weekend.

Richmond Unlimited chairman Andrew McGlashen urges everyone in the greater Richmond-Waimea district to come to town on Saturday for the big parade. He reminds all retailers and business owners to join in the spirit, dress their windows to the Christmas theme and be in the running for $1000 worth of free Waimea Weekly advertising.

Tasman Bay beach clean clears over 10 tonnes of rubbish Tasman Bay beaches should glisten sparklingly-clean in this summer’s sunshine thanks to a big community effort on Saturday to clear coastal rubbish.

Around 10.46 tonnes of debris was collected by about 800 peo-

ple in the Tasman Bay Big Beach Clean-up, from 291 kilometres of coast between Abel Tasman National Park and Cable Bay and from the banks of five waterways.

Department of Conservation Community Relations Pro-

gramme Manager Rudy Tetteroo expressed a big thank you to the volunteers on behalf of event organisers DOC, Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council and NELMAC Ltd. “It’s been a tremendous achieve-

ment by everyone involved and fantastic to see such enthusiasm from so many in the community for looking after our beaches.

Participants told us it felt good to be helping to clear litter from the coast and some beach-cleaning

Giant syringe inspires Wear & Tear winner Brightwater woman Sheree Phyn, who won the inaugural Rural Wear & Tear competition at the Nelson A&P Show, says she was inspired to create her costume, The Inseminator, by one particularly vivid and enduring childhood recollection of her dad hard at work on the family’s Wairarapa dairy farm.

“I recall one morning watching dad lift a cow’s tail while holding a long glass tube between his teeth.

I remember a lot of grunting and brute force was required to push his arm and tube where he wanted it. Because it seemed such a huge physical effort and challenge I decided on the warrior look for my entry.

Sheree says when she formed a mental image of what her costume would look like, and the amount of bare flesh involved, “I knew I had to find a willing model before I started because no way, not in a million years would I wear it myself in public.”

A fellow Brightwater School parent and friend, Claire Haskell, although never before having strutted on any kind of catwalk, agreed to be model and spent 10 hours getting fitted for the costume.

“Claire was ideal for the warrior woman concept I was trying to get across and on the day she was fantastic. Her movement and expressions complemented my costume perfectly.”

Claire says, “I was nervous; it was the first time I’ve done anything like this and when my nerves settled it was a fantastic experience. I’m just so glad Sheree won.”

The Inseminator beat out five other entries in the open section and while relatively few in number the standard was extremely high and showed amazing resourcefulness, improvisation and creativity. Rural Wear & Tear uses items found typically in a farming or other rural environment and Sheree says she visited several rural properties to gather materials. “I even borrowed a pair of gumboots and a bull ring off Stuart Bryant (A&P Show president) who was a member of Waimea Young Farmers Club with me many years ago.”

Sheree won a $650 Richmond Mall shopping voucher for her effort and is going to treat her model to lunch out this week.

Meanwhile the Junior section of Rural Wear & Tear was won by designer Lucy Everett of Stoke whose costume ‘Former Model’ was worn by Emily Markman of Rainbow Valley in Golden Bay. Show manager Liz Harvey says, “The competition revealed an exceptional level of talent and the public reaction and feedback indicates this new category is a winner and is here to stay. “I’m already Claire Haskell armed with syringe between her teeth won aware of people who are starting work on their entries for next year’s show.”

teams were shocked at how much rubbish they had picked up. A number were thanked by passersby for doing it.

“It also helps to make our coasts safer for wildlife for which our litter can be lethal.”

Murchison champion sharemilkers urge others to enter competition Regional convenors Chris and Donna Murphy say there is keen and fast-growing interest in the West Coast Top of the South regional competition of the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards programme from entrants and sponsors.

The Murchison couple who were this region’s 2010 Sharemilkers of the Year encourage all sharemilkers, equity farm managers, farm managers and dairy trainees to have a go in the awards – the Sharemilker/Farm Manager of the Year, Farm Manager of the Year or Dairy Trainee of the Year competitions.

“By just entering you learn so much about yourself and your business. Your confidence grows and you earn some credibility, which can be pretty handy if you are planning to make a move in the dairy industry,” says Chris.

“We had a fabulous experience in winning the regional competition and attending the national finals. In our new role as the region’s conven-

ors we hope to encourage others to give it a go and gain as much from participating as we did,” adds Donna.

As all entries are being accepted online this year, the Murphys say committee members and sponsors are happy to assist any potential entrant that may have difficulty accessing the internet.

“There is an early bird entry prize draw for a $4000 Honda farm bike, so if people do intend to enter the awards, there’s a good incentive to do it early before December 10.”

The awards are supported by national sponsors Westpac, DairyNZ, Ecolab, Federated Farmers, Fonterra, Honda Motorcycles NZ, LIC, Meridian Energy, Ravensdown and RD1, along with industry partner Agriculture ITO. Entries in the three competitions are being accepted online at www.dairyindustryawards. co.nz and close on December 24.

Nelson Lakes Garden Trail features conquerors against the elements Organisers of the Nelson Lakes Garden Trail on Saturday, December 4, urge enthusiasts to make a day of this splendid opportunity to view some of beautifully landscaped and planted gardens of the district. Many of their creators have had to adapt to the challenges of gardening in an alpine environment. “You can visit as many or as few gardens as you wish but take your time and enjoy all the work and creativity that’s gone into these gardens.

Prepare a picnic or eat at the Alpine Café or grab a pie or sandwich at the Village Store of Tophouse Historic Hotel to sustain you along the way,” says Cynthia Midgely whose own garden at Glenhope opposite HuHa Bikepackers features on the trail and will provide Devonshire teas and coffee.

The trail of nine gardens includes six in country locations on the loop over Hope Saddle and back to Nelson via Tophouse/Wai-iti, while three are situated in St Arnaud Village.

All gardens have their own special features and individuality and will inspire viewers with ideas.

Cynthia says, “In preparing our gardens in this area we battle snow, rabbits and extreme frosts as well as the other expected and unexpected challenges which face all gardeners.” She admits such extreme weather conditions can also prove to be a blessing as some diseases and pests can’t tolerate or survive such adversity.

The garden trail is a fundraiser for Nelson Regional Hospice and tickets at $10 each are available at Bay nurseries in Richmond, Places for Plants in Hope, Wakefield Pharmacy, Murchison 4 Square, Alpine Café and Alpine Store at St Arnaud, or at any of the gardens along the way. For more information phone Cynthia (5469413) or Marg (5211864).

Hands up who has been to Murchison? Lets face it – most Tasman residents have been there. After all, it is perfectly located for a convenient stop on any journey south. You’ll find plenty of cafes, restaurants and tearooms offering delicious coffees, meals and hospitality to break your trip.

But how many of us have actually traveled to Murchison with the intention of staying put and appreciating all that it has to offer? A few years ago there was a brilliant ad on television advising kiwis ‘don’t leave home ‘til you’ve seen your country,’ and we think that is great advice for locals. When you are planning your next trip away, why not plan a trip to Murchison and discover the jewel we have on our very own doorstep?

Only an hour and a half away, at most, from Richmond, Murchison provides an opportunity to get away from it all without forking out a fortune on travel expenses. Murchison has attractions galore and even better, is packed full with friendly people. A trip to Murchison is a trip to relaxation, adventure or fun, whichever you feel like.

Murchison is the District’s southern-most township and is a central base for the many outdoor activities in the area, including historic gold trails, rafting and kayaking, horse treks, tramping, hunting and fishing.

Local business owners are currently gearing up for their busy summer season when Murchison is a Mecca for visitors seeking the great outdoors.

You will be spoiled for choice if you are keen on bush walks, with anything from 10 minute strolls to multi day tramps close to Murchison There are many accommodation options available ranging from backpackers, campgrounds and motels to luxury lodges in spectacular settings.

Outdoor activities include white water rafting and kayaking, jet boats, horse treks and mountain biking for the thrill seekers while the more sedate amongst us can enjoy fishing, walking or just relaxing beside the river or swimming in one of the many safe swimming holes. The Murchison golf course is a par 35, nine hole course set in lovely surroundings near the Buller River.

The township boasts cafes, pubs, gift shops and antique store, a supermarket and a general store, a petrol station and a hospital.

Recognised as the “Whitewater Capital” of New Zealand, nearby rivers include the Gowan River, Mangles River, Matiri River, Glenroy River, Matakitaki River, Maruia River and the Buller, with many excellent whitewater runs ranging from Class 2 to 4 whitewater.

Helping Richmond Prosper and Grow Promote Richmond became an incorporated society 21 January 2000 and trades as Richmond Unlimited.

Richmond Unlimited is funded primarily by a special rate levied on businesses by Tasman District Council in a defined area of the Richmond’s CBD, as well as from sponsorship and grants.

Our main objectives are to promote the commercial interests of the Richmond Business District; to advocate for CBD improvements; to organise events and activities; and to promote Richmond to attract visitors, tourists, trade and residents.

that both the landlords and businesses may have a voice in the developments planned by Tasman District Council.

Rounding out our committee of eight is Lois Lester our Treasurer. We were also fortunate this year to employ Keryn Sheppard as our new Business Co-ordinator who has been doing a fantastic job bringing everything together.

Our vision is to promote the potential of Richmond to ensure the CBD continues to grow in an attractive and well planned manner to form a cohesive business environment that provides excellent service within a safe, caring, and comfortable community environment.

Santa Parade shaping up to be best-ever Andrew McGlashen says that this Saturday’s Pak ‘n’ Save Richmond Santa Parade is likely to be the most spectacular and well-attended show seen in our town for many years.

“There are a large array of exciting floats and groups who have embraced the ‘A Fairytale Christmas’ theme and have let their creative juices flow”. In addition to the traditional floats and marching groups, there will also be choral singing and roving entertainers to keep the crowd entertained ... and look out for the fantastic new Santa float as well.

By Saturday Queen Street will leave no-one in any doubt that the festive season is at hand.

The new Christmas lights have been hung and all shops and businesses in town are being encouraged to dress their windows to the Christmas theme. And there are no excuses for lacking the materials or creativity as a wide range of Christmas decorations and advice are available at local outlets such as Eye Bright and Payless. Waimea Weekly is also pushing the Christmas bandwagon by offering a $1000 advertising credit for the best decorated window display.

The Santa Parade takes place this Saturday on Queen Street from noon. Spectators should make their way into town in plenty of time to soak up the festive atmosphere and find a good vantage point.

Richmond Market Day The Fresh Choice Richmond Market Day is one of the largest annual events held in Richmond, attracting locals and visitors alike. Stalls feature a wide range of fresh fruit and produce, arts and crafts, music, clothing, gifts, homewares, plants and lots more.

More than 160 stalls are expected to line Queen Street for the popular annual event, which will also feature a lunchtime concert. This year we have introduced the “Market Day Passport” giving holders the chance to win a major prize.

Shoppers who make five separate purchases on the day, at a market stall or at a permanent retailer, will have their passport stamped and will go into the draw for a Fresh Choice 60 second grocery grab.

Stall sites can be booked online this year. To book your place go to www.richmondunlimited.co.nz and click on Events or contact Pauline on 03-544 4975 or Keryn on 03-544 4898 Bookings close on 30 November 2010.

Chris Brake is aiming to scale great heights in his chosen sport over the next few months.

The talented 15 year-old Tapawera high jumper has showed promise on the track and field leading up the Hester Shield Classic this Saturday, and hopes to carry that form through to the National Secondary School athletics championship in Hastings next month.

While he competes in a range of events, Chris prefers the high jump, which he has been training for the longest. “I suppose sprinting is just something I’d do not in major competitions like South Islands or anything, but for Tasman I will. It’s good practice for the sprinting side of long jump and high jump.”

Like many athletes, Chris took track and field more seriously after outstanding results

at school athletics day, and his highlight to date is finishing fourth equal in the under 15 boys high jump at the South Island secondary schools competition.

Chris strives in the competitiveness of competing at a high level. “Knowing you are the very best in the South Island in your age group is a pretty good feeling.”

His personal bests include a 1.75m in high jump, 5.92m in long jump, 11.67m in triple jump and 12.36 seconds over 100m which he ran at the last Twilight meet.

Chris is hoping to jump a personal best in Hastings with the end goal of jumping 1.90m at the end of the season. And if he can manage his goals, there is no doubt we will be hearing more from this promising star in the future.

Anyone who still thinks hockey is a winter sport should pop down to Saxton Field one week night. Dozens of players fill the bright water turf playing in summer leagues or for 50 youngsters, being a part of the regions first academy.

Regional development manager Craig Brett set up the academy this summer and says it comes on the back of incredible interest in the sport.

“It’s really positive right now in the sport, it’s got really good leadership and the sport has done really well for itself. Our junior programme has 380 kids turning up to it, everything is just growing in hockey so we decided we’d set up the academy to channel that interest.”

The academy has been set up to run for 14 weeks for players aged 11 to 17 and works on fitness, speed as well as skills. Craig says the region does well for itself and setting up the academy was another way to utilise some of the top coaches in the region and strengthening the sport.

“Hockey has always done really well in Nelson but I guess we are going through a transition where all the good players are getting a lot older and the younger one’s weren’t developing as well. Now there is so much on offer for kids they don’t tend to go and do their own work outside of hockey so we decided this was the only way we were going to get the good ones coming through and giving them the best opportunity.”

The academy is just another success story for Nelson Hockey, Diane says growth in the sport since the water turf and pavilion have finished has been unprecedented with its junior summer programme attracted more than 200 players more than last year and its senior summer league with 28 teams.

“I mean that is just out of this world. The senior summer league which had dwindled over the years, is suddenly back with a number of players and we haven’t had for a long time. And now, in the heat of the summer time, the players can come up here after and relax with a cold drink or whatever.

Left; Pakuwera Katu watches a low ball during Nelson under 17 game on Sunday.

An error in the field for Marlborough and some quick thinking from Pakuwera Katu helped the Nelson under 17 softball side overcome the visitors in their Seddon Shield clash at Saxton Field on Sunday.

With the scores locked at 1-1 in the tie breaker innings, Pakuwera sprinted home from base two to seal the close fought victory after some scrappy play in the outfield. Captain and pitcher Sam Miller starred throughout the game for Nelson before handing the ball over to Luke Harrington who kept calm under pressure. The match finished 2-1.

The Tasman region has long been a favourite place to enjoy retirement. Combine this with the ever increasing proportion and number of seniors in New Zealand and the Tasman region is expecting a substantial increase in people aged 65 and over to move to the region and enjoy their golden years. This trend towards Tasman means in-creased demand for support of older people in our region.

Many businesses and organisations already offer great products and excellent service to make life easier. This week’s Waimea Weekly provides a selection of local businesses that can help you enjoy your well earned retirement to the maximum extent.

At the Wakefield Rest Home we believe that older age can be a positive time of life like any other, says manager Barbie Reay. Leaving home and moving into a Rest Home can be upsetting for both residents and their families. By providing a small friendly home, the residents are able to live and socialize in a homely comfortable setting where individual goals and wishes are taken into consideration.

Hot, tiring day of athletics and fun for Henley School students “It was a typical summer athletics day; scorching hot but with all the proper precautions taken under the sun; hats, sunscreen and shade umbrellas,” says Henley School principal John Armstrong.

Traditional track and field events were complemented by fun games and John says there were many sore and tired bodies the next day.

“I know I was a casualty of the day and I was rubbing in the Voltaren that night,” says John who pays tribute to the parent liason group who prepared lunches for the kids, Hayden Bryant of Sport Tasman who helped run the activities, teacher Janita Coppell who took on the role of organiser for the day and school sports coordinator Marjolein Edwards.

RESULTS

2010 RURAL WEAR & TEAR The grandstand was packed to the rafters for the judging of the inaugural Nelson A&P Rural Wear & Tear competition held in association with the Richmond Mall.

The choreographed show was supported by hip-hop dance acts and in the Junior Section Emily Markman was awarded first place with her entry “Former Model”.

Second place was Sean Edgar with his entry “Gumboot Gladiator”.

In the Open Section, Aileen Gooding and the residents of Ernest Rutherford hospital wing were runner up with their entry “Rural Maiden”. Sheree Phyn was the Open Section winner with her stunning creation “The Inseminator”.

Prize winners received Richmond Mall Vouchers as well as a bouquet courtesy of Bluebell Florist.

Thanks to all the entrants and supporters of the Rural Wear and Tear competition – we know that work has already begun on entries for the 2011 Rural Wear & Tear!

WOODCHOPPING A full programme of events and good conditions saw great competition in the chopping ring. A Royal Agricultural Society Medal was awarded to Pat Barrett (Otaki) who took away both the Standing Block Championship on Saturday and the Underhand Championship on Sunday.

The Creighton Brothers Open Standing Championship was won by Andrew Cox (Geraldine) and Fraser Family Underhand was won by Charlie Morgan (Timaru).

SHEARING Two big days in the woolshed with World Champion Shearer Cam Ferguson making a surprise late entry visit to Nelson A&P Show. No suprises however that he was the winner of the Open Shearing class and received the TNL Trophy for the Best Pen of Shorn Sheep. He also received a new shearing handpiece as a prize sponsored by CRT & Heinger.

HORTICULTURE & HOME INDUSTRY Redwood Hall was packed with entries in the Horticulture Section including 453 entries in Children’s Floral Art. Special thanks to all the schools and families who supported this section with a fabulous show of exhibits: Champion Floral Art Years 1-3 = Aria Snowsill Champion Floral Art Years 4-6 = Karl Newton Champion Floral Art Years 7-12 = Penelope Smith Champion Vegetables Years 1-6 = Jontee Taylor Champion Vegetables Years 7-12 = Cameron Taylor In the adult section the A&P Challenge Trophy went to Todd Gracia for most points in vegetable classes. Norm & Lettie Thawley received the WDFF Challenge Cup for most points in fruit classes as well as the Beaumont Trophy for their roses. Champions all received prize vouchers courtesy of sponsor Bay Nurseries.
