To  the  Editor, A  big  thank  you  to  Raglan  for  their  support  of  Daffodil  day.   It  was  a  cool  day  with  fresh  winds  but  a  ray  of  sunshine  and Â

a  lot  of  generous  people  donating.   We  raised  around  the  $1000  mark  which  was  awesome.  So  huge  thanks  to  everyone.   Raglan  Volunteer  Collectors Â

The  report  shows  that  around  5000cu  m  of  partially  treated  waste  water,  only  half  of  the  original  amount  estimated,  entered  a  tributary  of  the  Raglan  Harbour.

Niall  Darwin  and  partner  Anna  Cunningham  set  up  PiwiWiwi  from  their  Raglan  West  home  only  two  years  ago,  shortly  after  moving  here  from  Britain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  found  a  niche  (in  the  market)  and  decided  to  go  for  it,â&#x20AC;?  Anna  recalled  for  the  Chronicle  this  week  while  Niall  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  perhaps  unsurprisingly  given  the  core  nature  of  their  business  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  was  out  for  a  surf.

The  couple  are  so  â&#x20AC;&#x153;stokedâ&#x20AC;?  to  have  nudged  the  countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  number  two  rated  rentals  company  down  the  rankings  a  notch  that  Niall  got  local  signwriter  Dan  Mills  to  print  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheekyâ&#x20AC;?  T-­shirt  to  mark  the  achievement  and  proudly  donned  it  for  a  Chronicle  photo.

Rankers  is  the  only  place  customers  can  leave  ratings  for  campervan  rentals,  Anna  explains,  as  the  bigger  travel  website  TripAdvisor  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  categorise  them.

And  the  secret  to  the  success  of  their  small  but  growing  venture?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  really  focused  on  customer Â

care,â&#x20AC;?  says  Anna.   She  believes  in  treating  people  as  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  wish  to  be  treated  themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  lot  of  people  like  choosing  a  smaller  company  over  the  big  guys  too,â&#x20AC;?  she  adds.

Another  advantage  is  that  travellers  get  to  start  their  holiday  in  Raglan,  which  is  a  plus  for  their  VXUÂżQJ FOLHQWHOH Anna  and  Niall  started  out  with  just  six  niftily  converted  Toyota  HiAce  campervans  and  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  while  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  still  â&#x20AC;&#x153;going  sweetâ&#x20AC;?  thanks  in  part  to  Niallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  background  as  an  engineer  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  the  enterprising  couple  KDYH QRZ H[SDQGHG WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;HHW WR include  three  BaseJumpers,  Fiat  Ducato-­based  campervans  which  have  the  advantage  of  a  toilet  and  shower.

Like  their  smaller  vans  the  BaseJumpers,  or  the  beasts  as  they  call  them,  can  carry  multiple  long  and  short  surfboards  strapped  securely  inside  to  the  roof  and  upright  behind  the  driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  seat.    But  WKH\ÂśUH GHÂżQLWHO\ ÂłSRVKHU´ DQG PXFK roomier.   Anna  and  Niall  trialled  a  BaseJumper  on  their  respective  parents  when  they  visited  from  the  UK  last  year,  and  have  just  travelled  the  South  Island  for  seven  weeks  in  one  themselves.

Piwiwiwi  also  has  two  Nissan  Wingroads  and  two  Toyota  Prius  hybrids  which  it  rents  out  to  travellers  or  even  to  locals  when  the  family  car  may  be  out  of  action.  The  demand  for  cars  as  well  as  vans  came  as  a  bit  of  a  surprise,  says  Anna,  but  is  a  good  alternative  to  Hamilton  rental  companies  for  their  local  clientele.  Edith  Symes

Raglan Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment bill a family affair I

f  you  have  ever  wondered  just  what  goes  on  behind  the  doors  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  chartered  club,  located  opposite  the  3RVW 2IÂżFH LQ %RZ 6WUHHW D JROGHQ opportunity  is  about  to  present.

A  couple  of  special  days  have  been  planned,  starting  with  extraordinary  hypnotist  Nigel  Kennedy  and  outstanding  harmonica  player  Brent  Jupp  performing  on  Friday  13th  September,  starting  at  7.30  pm.   There  is  no  cover  charge  and  for  those  who  are  less  familiar  with  the  club  and  its  facilities  the  evening  gives  a  chance  to  mix  and  mingle  with  the  hundreds  of  regular  members â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  made  to  feel  very  welcome  by  our  members  and  friendly  bar  staff,â&#x20AC;?  says  club  secretary/manager  Norman  Curtis.

Then  on  the  next  day  a  special  Family  Fun  Open  Day,  complete  with  prizes  for  children  and  adults  alike,  kicks  off  at  11  am  and  goes  through  to  2  pm.   A  sausage  sizzle  will  help  keep  the  hunger  pangs  away  and  there  will  be  lots  of  activity  for  the  kids  as  well  as  information  available  about  joining  the  club,  which  has  been  made  a  lot  more  accessible  for  people  with  the  introduction  of  a  new  $20  subscription  per  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  really  thrilled  with  the  number  of  new  members  who  have  joined  just  in  the  past  month,  totalling  30  at  this  time.   Some  are  members  returning  from  an  absence  but  there  are  many  new  faces,  bringing  some  fresh  blood Â

into  the  club,â&#x20AC;?  says  club  secretary/manager  Norman  Curtis.

The  real  heart  of  the  club,  Norman  says,  resides  in  the  activity  sections  and  most  PHPEHUV ÂżQG WKHPVHOYHV GUDZQ WR MRLQLQJ RQH or  two  of  them  as  they  get  to  see  the  range  of  things  they  can  easily  get  involved  in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  a  dartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  club  that  really  taken  off  in  the  last  few  months,  along  with  snooker/8  EDOO WUDYHO LQGRRU DQG RXWGRRU ERZOV ÂżVKLQJ the  60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  club,  and  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  60  to  join  it,  plus  500  cards.   Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  for  everyone  to  enjoy,  including  our  very  popular  quiz  night  on  Wednesday  and  membership  draws  on  Wednesday  and  Friday  night  which  can  jackpot  to  thousands  of  dollars,â&#x20AC;?  Norman  says.

And  for  those  13  years  and  older,  a  special  membership  category  gives  access  to  the  clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  facilities  for  $5  per  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Already  we  have  half  a  dozen  youth  members  who  are  out  there  involved  in  the  sections  and  really  enjoying  themselves.   Young  Ashleigh  Jeffcoat,  an  outdoor  bowler  showing  outstanding  promise,  has  come  into  the  sport  through  joining  our  club.â&#x20AC;?

Activity  between  the  Raglan  Club  and  other  chartered  clubs  adds  another  dimension  of  energy  into  the  club,  as  evidenced  recently  by  the  visit  of  keen  Tokoroa  8  ball  and  dart  players.

Many  club  members  make  use  of  the  fact Â

Performing at Raglan Club: Magician Nigel Kennedy and Mr Funny Bunny

that  the  substantial  car-­park  at  the  side  of  the  club  is  free  for  them  to  use  at  any  time  once  they  join,  saving  them  the  hassle  of  worrying  about  getting  a  parking  ticket  for  being  out  on  many  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  shopping  streets.

Anyone  wishing  to  visit  the  club  to  get  a  feel  for  it  to  see  if  they  would  like  to  become Â

a  member  is  welcome  to  make  a  couple  of  visits  and  be  signed  in  before  committing  to  membership.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  also  hoping  those  interested  will  come  along  on  the  13th  or  14th  to  see  just  how  much  fun  can  be  had  as  a  member  of  Raglan  Club,â&#x20AC;?  Norman  adds.    Sue  Russell

Top picks of the 2013 Raglan Film Festival Spring  in  the  garden Spring  is  here  -­  a  life  changing  time  of  year  for  all  seeds  and  plants.  Whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  blossom,  seed  JHUPLQDWLRQ VSULQJ EXOE Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV RU growth  on  the  roses,  it  is  all  about  more  sunlight,   moisture,  and  rising  air  and  ground  temperatures.  Wield  a  hoe  on  all  weeds;Íž  in  fact  work  the  topsoil  around  the  garden  often.  Plant  what  you  will.  This  month  and  next  you  can  risk  many  seeds  and  plants  with  a  bit  of  loving  care.  Seeds,  LI ÂżQH HJ FDUURWV OHWWXFH SHWXQLDV need  to  be  sprinkled  on  the  surface  with  just  a  light  coating  of  seed  mix  or  ¿QH VDQG /DUJHU VHHGV SHDV EHDQV potatoes  and  salvias,  need  more  depth  of  soil  over  them.  It  is  too  early  for  most  main  crops,  eg  potatoes,  but  put  a  few  in  and  more  in  three  weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  time.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  still  a  month  too  early  for  pumpkins,  cucumbers,  zucchini,  sweet  corn,  and  tomatoes.  With  lettuce  seed  or  plants  try  the  new  mesclun  mixes,  a  gourmet  salad  blend,  which  gives  \RX D PL[ RI OHDI FRORXUV DQG Ă&#x20AC;DYRXUV These  lettuce  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  heart,  as  you  pick  the  leaves  as  you  require.  You  can  add  young  spinach,  silver  beet,  mustard  and  beetroot  leaves  to  the  salad.  I  am  not  a  big  fertilizer  fan,  as  I  believe  a  good  autumn  liming  is  enough.  Most  Raglan  gardens  will  have  a  soil  PH  of  6.5  to  7.5,  so  90%  of  everything  will  grow  well.  Add  clean  garden  compost,  or  Xtreme  Wasteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worm  pee  and  casts  and  their  well-­ seasoned  compost.  This  is  really  the  only  boost  gardens  need;Íž  let  the  plants  do  naturally  what  they  do  best  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  grow. Â

Those  with  greenhouses  and  cloches  will  have  the  jump  on  us  but  in  general  only  in  a  small  way.  Personally  I  am  a  high  volume  gardener;͞  I  plant  heaps,  probably  too  close  together  at  times,  but  reap  the  harvest  and  enjoy  giving  the  surplus  to  family  and  friends.
