Nelson venues will be filled with the sounds of jazz during the 2017 Nelson Jazzfest, which kicks off on January 3. The four-day festival features an impressive range of artists, including Sing Sing Sing, The Troubles, TROQ, Django Junkies, Cover Me, and the Richter City Rebels. The 2017 Jazzfest Director, Paul Gilmour says there are a few changes to the festival this year, including moving the opening concert from Fairfield Park to Founders Heritage Park, and changing the date from New Years day to January 3rd. “There were a few reasons for the venue and date change,” he says. “One was the difficulty in getting top line artists here - they usually have well paid New Year gigs and can’t get here in time. The other was the support people who are always mad busy at that time of year.” He says the move to Founders will also see a new starting time of 4pm and it will also allow better parking, facilities and an inside option if it rains. Paul also says there is no concert at Washbourn Gardens this year, due to Tasman District Council opting not to increase their sponsorship of the event to cover costs. Paul says there have been lucky to secure some top quality acts,

Tasman’s year in review Simon Bloomberg The biggest story of 2016 has undoubtedly been the Kaikoura Earthquake. Although Tasman escaped any major damage during the 7.8 magnitude quake that hit two minutes after midnight on November 14, the implications for the district were significant. Just about everyone in Tasman was woken by the long, rolling quake and some, like Brightwater’s Juanita and Lucy Ingham, were caught in the epicentre, but the biggest impact on the district resulted from the closure of State Highway 1 due to slips. Tasman’s state highways became the main route for cars and trucks travelling between Christchurch and Picton, creating serious traffic issues and a sudden increase in demand for petrol, diesel, food and toilets in Murchison and St Arnaud. One St Arnaud shop reported pie sales increasing from 200 to 1000 a week. On the political front, the triennial local body elections were the main event, although the results went according to plan. Richard Kempthorne was predictably elected for a fourth term as may-

the recreational and cultural values of Rabbit Island over commercial forestry interests in the island’s management plan also made the headlines. It was a hugely popular decision that reflected how much Tasman residents love Rabbit Island. Real estate was big news throughout the year as section and house prices continued to rise to record highs. The demand for residential properties was so high that a new subdivision, with 49 sections near Richmond, sold out in 24-hours, even though the resource consent for the subdivision was still pending. Tasman’s rapid growth was also manifested in escalating school rolls with Waimea College hitting a record 1555 students. Big businesses were intent on keeping up with Richmond’s growth with the two big supermarket companies moving ahead with plans for new supermarkets at Three Brothers Corner and Champion Rd. The wild spring weather featured almost weekly with rain, hail, snow and even a tornado in Appleby wreaking havoc. Lightning also struck, killing a mob of sheep sheltering under a tree near Top House. On the sporting front, the Waimea Weekly enjoyed sharwww.nelsonliv

ing the success of our Olympians, Blacks Sticks women Kelsey Smith and Anita McLaren, cyclist George Bennett, 1500m runner Julian Matthews, equestrienne Jonelle Price and rower Brook Robertson. Paralympian Liam Malone’s courageous efforts were a highlight while the Tasman Makos once again punched well above their weight to make the Mitre 10 Premiership final. Tasman swimmer Caitlin Delany was another standout, winning a national swim record and earning a four year scholarship to study and swim in the United States. On a sad note, Tasman lost one of its favourite sporting legends when free-ride mountainbiker Kelly McGarry, 33, died suddenly in February. The former Waimea College student became an internet super-star when he backflipped a 21m canyon gap in the Red Bull Rampage - the video of the flip went viral on YouTube, getting over 30 million views. But the best stories we published in 2016, as always, were the ones about Tasman residents doing good things in our community. Leading the way was Eighty Eight Valley’s Robyn Reid who was admitted to the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame for a lifetime of service to the aviation industry. Upper Moutere’s Dale Vercoe generously offered land he owned on Mapua Drive in September for a new community health centre and Ethan Bruce completed a fund-raising unicycle ride in the 106km Rainbow Rage in March despite crashing and breaking his leg. Volunteers from Menzshed Waimea were busy helping an IHC group learn woodworking skills, as well as getting out their paint brushes to clean up tagging around Richmond. And volunteer fire fighters throughout the district continued to give up their time to keep us safe with the Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade attending 23 calls in the first 27 days of the year. These are just some of the amazing people who made Tasman a great place to live in 2016.

New animals arrive at Natureland
LEMURS FOR NATURELAND: The two ring-tailed lemurs who have made Natureland their home for the summer were having a good look around when Waimea Weekly went to visit them just before Christmas. Photo: Kate Russell.
Kate Russell Natureland has some new visitors this summer – two ring-tailed lemurs. The sisters, Namako and Kaylee, arrived in Nelson on December 16, coming from Orana Park in Christchurch. It is the first time that Natureland has had lemurs, which will be their home until they move on to Australia to become part of a breeding group. Keeper Brigitte Kreigemhofer says the girls, who are in their teenage years, have settled in to the Natureland family extremely well, but are still getting used to the planes flying overhead. “They are really mellow and docile, and I’m excited to have a chance to work with them,” she says. Brigitte says they are pretty interested in their new neighbours, too – the capuchins. And, the feeling is mutual, with lots of interactions going on between the two. Natureland trustee Meg Rutledge says there are around 100 types of lemur, and the ringtailed lemur used to be one of the most common – but it is now endangered. They are only found on the island of Madagascar and are easily recognisable with their black and white striped tail. Their favourite food is tamarind, a type of tree that grows in tropical climates – and they eat all parts of it. Meg says that they are able to give them their much-loved snack, in addition to fruit, vegetables, leaves and nutrient complete biscuits. If you are visiting Natureland this summer, the lemurs can be found in the old kea enclosure next to the capuchins.

Miss Kaiteriteri remembers her big day Simon Bloomberg The iconic Miss Kaiteriteri beauty contest is one of the most durable and popular events on the holiday programme around the Nelson-Tasman region. The Waimea Weekly talked to former winner Denise Mackay (nee Whitwell) about her big day on the catwalk back in 1970. Like hundreds of young teenaged girls who spent the summer holidays camping with their families at Kaiteriteri Beach, Denise Whitwell always looked forward to watching the Miss Kaiteriteri beauty contest. It was a popular and glamorous event with suntanned, bikini clad girls vying for the title of the most beautiful babe on the beach. So it was only natural that Denise, who was 16, would enter the event and take her turn on the catwalk. "We camped there the whole school holidays, right from when we were young children," Denise recalls. "I made a lot of friends there over the years and we'd look forward to seeing each other at Christmas - it was wonderful. "Miss Kaiteriteri was always one of the big events of the year and, when I was old enough, I entered because all my friends did. Beauty
pageants were still popular back then and everybody entered - the whole campground took part." Denise says she didn't expect to win and was stunned when the judges announced she was Miss Kaiteriteri 1970. "I was surprised when they said I'd won. I was just a typical teenager with pimples on my forehead - I hated those pimples. But I had a very good tan and tans were a big thing back then so that probably helped." Denise also had a good stage presence as she strutted her stuff up and down the deck of a lorry that doubled as a catwalk. "I wore a yellow bikini and I wasn't that nervous because I used to dance in competitions so I was used to being on stage." Denise received $40 and a packet of the sponsor's product (Benson and Hedges Gold cigarettes) for winning the contest. She also featured on the front cover of the March edition of the Nelson Photo News which her husband Murray had reprinted and blown-up before putting it on their front door for her 60th birthday party. "I didn't know he'd put it there and all our guests were giving me funny looks. I never used to tell anyone I'd won Miss Kaiteriteri
Denise Mackay (nee Whitwell) with a photo of her after she won Miss Kaiteriteri in 1970 on the cover of the Nelson Photo News. Photo: Simon Bloomberg but a few people always found out and teased me about it." Denise trained as a primary school teacher in Christchurch after leaving Motueka in 1970 and taught at schools in Christchurch and Auckland before returning to Motueka in 2009. Although she hasn't holidayed in Kaiteriteri
since her return ("it's too crowded now"), and rarely thinks about her big day in 1970, she is pleased Miss Kaiteriteri has survived all these years. "I don't think about it much but I'm pleased it's still going. I think it's sad that they are stopping a lot of those carnivals and beauty
contests today - they used to have Mr Tahunanui and Miss Caroline Bay in Timaru and they were a lot of fun." Miss Kaiteriteri will be held at the Kaiteriteri Reserve on Monday January 2 starting at 11am. Entry is $2 per person with categories for ages two-plus.

Iconic waterfront property on the market 21 The Parade, Okiwi Bay, has been the ultimate getaway for the Holder family for over 20 years. Not often do these unspoilt ocean views come onto the market, but the decision has been made and they are selling up. “This was a really tough call for the family to make, letting this go, but we are ready to move in a new direction” says Kevin Holder. “We know the new
owners will love it here, we hope it gets sold locally to a family who will treasure the memories like we have.” When the Holders bought this slice of heaven, it was a pure New Zealand bach. Over time, and with two major rebuilds, the once tiny bach now has a commanding presence in the bay, with fantastic views out to Treasure Island and easy access to the shop, beach and boat ramp.
“Okiwi Bay is so convenient to Nelson,” says Paula Holder. “I just loved being able to remove myself from the hustle of day-to-day life. Simply getting in the car, 60 minutes later we were relaxing on the deck, enjoying the views and the peace and quiet Okiwi Bay offers. It refreshes the soul. We will definitely miss Okiwi Bay.” 21 The Parade, Okiwi Bay, is currently on TradeMe with
the listing #1214233789 and is being sold by Private Tender by Friday, 20 January, 2017. The owners will consider offers prior to the tender date. Open homes are scheduled for 18 December and New Year’s Day, 1pm to 2pm. Any enquiries can be made with Anthony Holder at antsholder@gmail.com or phone 027 229 7266 for questions regarding the property or to schedule a viewing. Advt.

The 2017 Nelson Craft Beer Trail map is out – just in time for the busy summer season. Visitors to the region can pick up a copy of the map and follow the trail, with craft breweries of all sizes now stretching from Founders Heritage Park to Onekaka in Golden Bay. Many of these locally owned, family-run breweries and outlets welcome visitors – such as Bays Brewery in Stoke, which has been going for nearly 25 years under the same ownership. Owner Peter McGrath says the craft beer trail map has been very successful for them, and they are already filling up with bookings for summer. “The lift in tourism has been substantial – we get constant groups and tours,” he says. Peter also says they have tried to introduce a point of difference for their visitors. “We didn’t want to just sell beer,” he says. “We have locally made Wangapeka cheeses, as well as meat sticks and relishes to match our beers - and it really works, people love it.” CEO at Nelson Hops, Doug Donelan says that they are producing the map annually, to keep things current and fresh. “There are events and attractions as well as new bar and venues to include,” he says. “Craft Beer Depot (CBD) is a new concept in off-license craft beer sales and Eddyline is a new Brewery and Pizzeria in the region, who are right on the Cycle Trail so it is great to have them included.” But for Doug, he says the best thing about the trail is the variety of what’s on offer. “The experience can be very different from a quiet mid-week lunch at, say, Eddyline for a Pizza to a bopping Saturday afternoon at the Golden Bear in Mapua. "Both are great brewpubs but with a different offering. I love living here.” You can pick up a copy of the map at local bars, restaurants and visitor centres, or you can access the map online at craftbrewingcapital. co.nz

e l p o e p d o o f h s e r Y ou r f Nelson mountainbike enthusiasts have plenty to smile about with a bumper summer season underway. Photo: Jacob Page.
NMBC see boom for summer months Jacob Page Nelson Mountain Bike Club vice chairman Wayne Pool says the club looks on track to have more than 2000 members as a bumper summer season and the impending opening of the Wairoa Trail take shape. The club celebrated its 1500th members just a matter of months ago, but Wayne says the international attention gained from the access to the Wairoa Gorge had seen interest in memberships swell. The club has entered into a 12-month rent-free lease agreement with RHL NZ Limited (RHL) that sees the club gain access to 70km of hand-built bike trails created on RHL’s 841-hectare property in the Wairoa Gorge, in the Wairoa Valley just outside Nelson. While there will be a cost involved in riding the gradient four and five trails, it is seen as a big plus to have it available for the public. ‘’The Gorge’ is home to an amazing variety of hand-built mountain
bike trails that run through a lush native and beech forest environment from a maximum elevation of 1200m. For the past four years, the facility has hosted the annual Dodzy Memorial Enduro race, which is open to the public and has typically sold out in under two minutes. “The interest has been big and it wouldn’t be unrealistic to think we could get to 2000 members by the start of the year.” Wayne says it proves the region can be a global location for bike enthusiasts. The club continues to build on its events throughout the summer months and it is believed it will be the busiest the club has been over the warmer months. The annual 2017 Top Gun event will be held in January and the Coppermine event in February. The Gorge Trail is likely to be the must-do thing for riders in the summer months with the club already taking expressions of interest to give it a go.

Give it a Go !
I’ll start by saying I don’t think I’ve ever been more embarrassed in my life. Okay, maybe a few times, but this was definitely up there. We’ll get to my mountain biking humiliation in a minute, but first I’ll give you some context. Now that summer’s here, locals will be throwing themselves into the outdoors, soaking up as much sunshine and fresh air as they can before having to go back to work. One of the best and most popular ways to do is by grabbing a mountain bike and taking to the hundreds of trails in our region. Mountain biking is massive in Nelson and, with more tracks appearing each month, the sport is taking off. So we hit up one of Nelson’s top cross country mountain bikers, Henry Jaine, and got him to show me the ropes. Local one-stop mountain biking shop Village Cycles generously set me up with a Specialized Stump Jumper FSR and helmet, and with that we were ready to roll. Henry .co.nz took me up Silvan Forest, one of the Mountain Bike Trails Trust’s newer tracks. Up the top of Champion Rd in Richmond, it’s one of the region’s most accessible hotspots, perfect for beginners and with plenty to entertain the more advanced.

One thing you should know about me is that I never do anything in halves and, with a mixture of pride and competitiveness, I don’t like failing. So when Henry took me up Alpha, the main track to the top, I went as fast as I could, determined not to look like a complete nana in front of one of Nelson’s best. And that was going great, with Henry’s tips I was "beasting" the climb and even doing semi-okay at the uphill corners - until we got to the last couple of hundred metres. And that’s when it happened. Let me just say here that nerves, sleep deprivation and minimal food are never good fuel for tackling any exercise. Thankfully, I noticed the signs early and sent Henry to speed up the hill a bit before gingerly walking behind a rock and briefly tossing my cookies. I don’t think Henry knew what to think when I finally caught up, but
despite my humiliation he was absolutely lovely about it all. .co.nz I have never gotten to the point of throwing up when exercising before but that was all on me, not the track, I pushed myself to the point where my body failed to keep up with my ego. Anyway, we finally made it to the top of Hare Down, without any more spillage, and started the scary part. What I expected was a lot of me careering sideways and ripping up my palms and legs whilst whizzing downhill, but what I got was a lot of fun and a fair bit of me doing skids and occasionally being a bit of a chicken and hopping off. As you can see in the video online, I did manage to come off at the very apex of a corner, sliding off and nearly taking out Henry who was behind me, another point of embarrassment, but other than that the rest of the ride was incredible and fairly uneventful crash-wise. Silvan Forest is a beautiful place to ride, the views are incredible and you can take it as leisurely or as hard-out as you like. Just take it from me - if you’re going to tank the uphill on your first time, make sure you have plenty of sleep the night before and eat and drink something to fuel your body for the climb.

A clear solution to better vision If you’re one of the many people who rely on glasses or contacts to view the world, laser eye surgery can provide a life-changing return to freedom. The team at Wellington Eye Centre have been offering that freedom since 2009 and say it’s becoming even more attractive thanks to advanced procedures introduced by their specialist ophthalmologist, Dr Andrew Logan. Dr Logan’s been pioneering the latest technologies in New Zealand for the last 22 years, always looking for the absolute best solutions for vision correction. Most recently, he’s found that in SMILE – a minimally invasive keyhole procedure that removes the complications that may have discouraged some people from having laser vision correction in the past. SMILE is the most advanced form of laser eye surgery currently available in the world and was introduced to New Zealand by Dr Logan in 2014. It uses a single German-made
precision laser to reshape the cornea – the front surface of the eye – without compromising its integrity. Excellent results have been reported by surgeons all over the world and opened up the opportunity for better vision to even more patients. “Each one of the procedures we offer offers its own advantages. What’s exciting about SMILE is that the visual results are just as good as LASIK, the predictability and stability is even better, and the eye is stronger and safer afterwards”, says Dr Logan. “People are able to return to unrestricted normal activities, including water sports, just six days after surgery. For people with active lifestyles, this can make all the difference.” This focus on people is another advantage offered by Wellington Eye Centre.Working behind Dr Logan is an
entire team of skilled and experienced staff who are dedicated to providing information, answering questions, and ensuring patients are supported throughout the entire process. Suitability assessments can be performed by your local optometrist, while the actual procedure takes place at Dr Logan’s Wellington surgery. Nelson patients are offered free boutique hotel accomodation in Wellington for themselves and their partner, organised and paid for by the Eye Centre. Many patients take this as an opportunity to relax and do a little sightseeing while they’re there, thanks to the incredibly fast recovery time. The procedure itself is painless and only takes a few minutes, and most patients are thrilled to report they’re feeling great at the follow-up appointment the next day. Complimentary follow-up care continues with your local optometrist for a year afterwards to help patients adapt to their new vision and to ensure it’s an entirely positive experience. Contact the team to find out whether laser eye surgery is a suitable option for you.
Freedom in the blink of an eye Reclaim your freedom with SMILE, the world’s most advanced and least invasive keyhole laser eye surgery. Introduced to New Zealand by the Wellington Eye Centre, it could be the solution for you’ve been looking for.

Chefs tell us what's cooking on their BBQ
Brittany Spencer
Pilsner.
There’s nothing more quintessential to a kiwi summer than standing on the deck and cooking up a feed in your barbecue wearing jandals and a bucket hat to prevent any mullet tan lines. Sure, most of us have moved past the mullet but the barbecuing remains and for good reason, so we spoke with three local chefs and found out their favourite barbecue recipes and top tips.
Matias Cacciavillani of Viva La Vaca food cart: Matias is making waves with his Argentinean-inspired barbecue served from his food kart at Nelson events and markets. “I cook everything with charcoal so the key is time, a lot of time - you can’t rush it and I love this recipe, the combination of all the spices, it’s very cultural.”
Kevin Hopgood, owner of Hopgoods: Kevin is one of Nelson’s more well known chefs and says he loves cooking on a barbecue in summer, but the key is getting the heat right. “It can be a fine line between getting nicely coloured food rather than completely black food but with cooking on a barbecue, low and slow wins the race.” Kevin’s lamb steaks and grilled summer veges • Marinate 4 Lamb leg steaks in olive oil, the juice and zest of a lemon, thyme, mint and 1 teaspoon of Harissa paste for 2/3 hours. • Coat peppers, zucchini, asparagus, spring onions and mushrooms in EVO salt and pepper and grill on the BBQ. This can be done first and served room temperature. Once grilled, arrange on a serving platter and scatter over lots of fresh herbs (chives, parsley, coriander and mint), a touch more EVO, Moroccan spice, lemon zest and chilli flakes • Grill the lamb to your liking and before serving, let it rest, rule of thumb is if you cook for 10 mins let it rest for 10. • Serve on top of couscous, scatter with

This meal is great with flat bread and tzatziti and Harissa. Lincoln Womersley, Blinc Catering head chef and McCashins Brewery Kitchen & Bar owner: Lincoln says the key to a good barbecue is fresh ingredients, a good marinade, making sure your barbecue is hot enough, and a beer for while you cook. “I love cooking up a big juicy chunk of meat, or some crayfish if I’m lucky enough, they’re always really fun to cook.” Lincoln’s summer crayfish • Cut your cray straight through the middle, head to tail, add a bit of olive oil and season with salt and cracked pepper. • Place the cray flesh side down on the
chargrill until chargrill lines appear on the flesh. • Turn both halves over so the shell side is on the grill then cook the cray until it is medium, liquid should start to come to the top at this stage. • Once off the grill, place a good teaspoon of garlic chilli butter on each half, letting it melt into the crayfish before adding a squeeze of lemon and serving. • To make Lincoln’s garlic chilli butter, mix together 250g of softened salted butter, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp of chopped parsley, 1 finely chopped birds eye chilli and a couple of pinches of cracked black pepper. This meal is best accompanied with some seasonal chargrilled vegetables, steamed new potatoes and a good citrusy beer such as the Stoke Cheeky Czech or the Stoke
For the Chimichurri: 1 tablespoon sweet paprika; 1 tablespoon smoked paprika; 2 teaspoons cumin; ½ cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley; ½ cup dried oregano; ¼ teaspoon salt; ¼ cup olive oil; 1/3 cup red wine vinegar; ¼ cup water; 2 whole cloves garlic; 1 fresh bay leaf. To prepare the lamb: Pat the leg of lamb dry. Make incisions for the garlic cloves and insert. Rub with the salt, pepper and olive oil. Cover and leave to sit overnight in the refrigerator. Prepare the charcoal BBQ so the coals are hot and cook the lamb for at least 2 hours – the longer you cook it for the more flavoursome the meat. It is ready when you pinch it and the juice that comes out is clear. To prepare the chimichurri sauce: Bring to boil the water, vinegar, garlic, bay leaf and salt. Add dry ingredients and remove from heat. Add fresh parsley and oil. Let sit overnight. Use as a side sauce to complement the lamb.

Tahuna Beach Kiwi Holiday Park and Motel has been the setting for thousands of epic family holidays and next year it will mark its 90th anniversary. Once upon a time the land, including and surrounding the holiday park, was bought by the council in order to create a recreation reserve for the Nelson public to enjoy. They spent around 300 pounds and a few shillings on it, putting up some dressing rooms here and there and creating a space for those wanting to camp overnight. It was very popular from the get-go with around 700 campers visiting in the first year. In 1937, the holiday park was carved off the main reserve with operation of the business overseen by an incorporated society that is still in place today. Some of the first buildings to sit on the site were relocated barracks, with the park also being used to put up servicemen

We plan to do it on an annual basis, this being the inaugural one.” To top it all off, the park is getting set to hold its Big Birthday Bash in early January. “The Collective Holiday Memories competition has been the lead-up to our 90th anniversary and the public has been voting for the best story and the best photo. To celebrate everything and the prizegiving, we’re having a day full of activities for our in-house guests and invited guests,” says Marcel. In the morning a workshop will be held for children to make party hats, in the afternoon they’ll have vintage games including the gumboot throw and three-legged race, then in the
evening a food court will be set up near the amphitheatre. The official ceremony will begin at around 7pm with Breffni O’Rourke doing the honours as MC. With a band lined up, the holiday memories prize-giving as well as a couple of surprises up their sleeves, Tahuna Beach Kiwi Holiday Park guarantees it will be a fun-filled evening. Whenever you have friends or family visiting, make sure you book them into Tahuna Beach Kiwi Holiday Park or, if you’re out and about in the Tahuna area and want a bite to eat, come and enjoy the hospitality of their café staff, you don’t have to be a guest.

Brightwater Community Association
The final meeting for 2016 of the Brightwater Community Association was held on 5th December and several issues were aired but will require a response from other parties in 2017. It was gratifying to note that an issue of long grass blocking sightlines on a road was tended to promptly by a TDC contractor. The students of Brightwater School have undertaken videoing of traffic at school closing time to identify traffic
patterns and any other issues effecting the safety of students and parents Sponsors have come forward to support flower boxes in Brightwater.

Someone once said that it doesn’t matter what date you were born, it is the date that comes after the dash. People have been flat out getting everything ready for Christmas 2016. There were presents to be found, food to be prepared, endless end of year do’s that needed to be co-ordinated, Christmas emails to write and that’s before we thought of inlaws who wanted to descend. For some people all of this was not important because they had loved ones who now have a date behind their dash. Like the family who celebrated the life and grieved the loss of their mother and grandmother the other day, Born 1924 – Died 2016. For them there will be an empty seat not only at the table but also in their thoughts and hearts. There are many in our community who share this

All Blacks should be next for Nelson Jacob Page Sports Editor
sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson is fast becoming a host city for major sporting events and teams, but how close are we to hosting an All Blacks test? It’s been a bumper 12 months for Nelson sports fans, who have seen the Black Sticks play international hockey at Saxton Fields, the Silver Ferns host Jamaica at the Trafalgar Centre, the Wellington Phoenix and New Zealand Warriors playing preseason games, as well as the Black Caps committing to Nelson with their international cricket schedule. How realistic is it to think Trafalgar Park could host an All Blacks test in 2018? It would be one of the “minor” tests, not a Rugby Championship game, but that would hardly matter, it would sell out. Trafalgar Park’s capacity was at 18,000 for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, which is not far off the capacity of stadiums which the All Blacks have played in front of.
Nelson should try to build on its hosting ability of major sports events by trying to lure the All Blacks in 2018 or 2019. Photo Supplied. Napier’s McLean Park, which last hosted a test against Argentina, has a capacity of 19,700. Christchurch’s post-earthquake AMI Stadium seats 18,800 but
y a d R u t sa th 7 Jan
obviously has a bigger population to pull people from. Trafalgar Park is also quite vast, there is room to add temporary seating or build a new stand if the
Nelson City Council saw it as a viable option. An All Blacks test in Nelson would also be viewed as progressive thinking and innovative on
the part of the New Zealand Rugby Union. They can take a test against a lesser team to a new area and make it a sell-out, while making it a good grass roots public relations exercise. The NZRU say allocation for tests in 2018 and 2019 will open shortly. Unions are judged on several things, including these criteria; financial return and ability to achieve capacity crowds, infrastructure, adding to the festival around New Zealand Rugby fixtures “In recent years, we have encouraged unions to work closely with their territorial authorities to build good regional proposals to host test matches,” the guidelines read. This region's sport fans have proven they will support anything that comes their way. Tasman United, despite their dismal start, have the biggest crowds in the national league, so there is no doubt Trafalgar Park would be full if the All Blacks were in town.

Kids set to benefit at speedway

The Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway will begin its 2017 race calendar with a good cause and rarely seen class in its feature races. The January 7 meeting is dedicated to the Child Cancer Foundation, and the club will be fund-raising for this very special cause. You can help donate at the track or by going on the Nelson Speedway website and clicking on the link. The meeting sees a feature grade we rarely see at the track, the Modified Sprints. Smaller than the sprint cars, these winged machines have been the catalyst for many of the top sprint car drivers to earn their stripes. The Southern Midget Series have a round, while it’s King of the Clay for stock cars,
productions, street stocks and side cars. There is a special event planned for the kids from 4.15pm, there are spot prizes for kids who come dressed-up like super heroes, plus laser tag and a bouncy castle. We thank Nick and the team from Prokarts for supporting the junior member activities again this year, which continue to be a big hit. If you’re on holiday over the summer period, you can still get your fix of speedway action no matter where you are. You can listen live on race night via Speedway live. It shows live laps at the same time, results and write-ups can be found on the club website the following day. We will be live streaming the Sprint car GP and Midget titles via the Pits TV, go to nelsonspeedway.co.nz for the links.

Coach Simon Bixley says expectations are high. “We have nine guys who can bowl and a very strong batting line-up. “The bulk of these guys, all but two, played together last sea-

Details here “We will make it our target to win, we want to set our expectations high and see how we go.” Nelson will play North Otago, Dunedin, Canterbury Country, Buller and Marlborough during the tournament, with games likely to be played on a mix of grass and artificial pitches.

Family of 5 looking for a 4 or 3 bedroom home with sleepout or space for a cabin. We are relocating to Nelson for work reasons and need to find a home by mid to late January 2017. We need a fully fenced property as we have one black lab dog whom is well behaved and has references. Anywhere considered at this stage but would prefer semi-rural. Kids ages are 8, 10 and 18 so not worried about being close to water. We are very keen gardeners and paint/decorate for a living so we see ourselves as an asset to any property. Please contact Hayden or Hazel on 021 063 3571 or 037 533 311 anytime. Thank you.
