Happy Birthday CCGC
Birthday cake makes it official Our winter Garden Club meetings, held in the local hall, have started with a bumper event. After a recess of three months, it was time for the annual Trade Table, voting on the Photographical Competition (entries were collected online), lunch of soup and rolls and our birthday cake. What a catch up and convivial celebration to be had! Super shutterbugs included Wendy Whitfield, Angelica de Vere, Bev Burton, and Carole and Owen Aspden with the overall winner being Angelica who entered a study of doves resting in a cote in Marlborough from our tour in November 2019. Lunch was well received, finished with dessert of a super lime and fresh ginger cake made by Kathy Lambert. Twenty three years the club has been in existence and membership is still very strong.

Congratulations Mary Dawkins Coatesville Pony Club's head coach Mary Dawkins received the Coach of the Year award in the annual New Zealand Pony Clubs Association's awards earlier this year.
Mary is well known to many families in Coatesville for her skills instructing Pony Club riders. Here's what they said when nominating Mary for the award: Mary has been a fundamental part of Coatesville Pony club (CVPC) for the past 20-plus years. As the head coach, Mary possesses all the characteristics that makes her a standout coach that NZPCA should be proud to celebrate. Mary always brings an abundance of enthusiasm, which can always be heard from afar, to rally nights, making even the basics fun! Mary has a very intuitive understanding of what makes each rider, horse and combination tick, and just what is required to bring out the best, building confidence, skills and understanding, while still extending those who need challenging at higher levels, and all in a mixed rally group. Mary is well known for having some crazy grid ideas and pushing horse and rider to achieve... Mary is our club’s national treasure, a genuinely fantastic person and deserves to be recognised for all she has done for our club, district and area over the years.
