THE COLEMAN SHIELD

Prebbleton Division 1 rugby team claimed the Coleman Shield, this season, for the first time since 1974 with a 37-3 win over Waihora. An extract from Roger Gilbert Gilbert Gilbert’ ’’ ’s s s book (Ellesmere Rugby Sub-Union 1906—2006.

In 1948, T Coleman T Coleman Coleman Coleman of Lincoln gave a shield for the winner of a match between the winners of the Ellesmere and Malvern Rugby competitions. The winning clubs found it di cult to arrange the game, so in 1952 it was transferred to the senior representative match between the sub-unions. After the amalgamation, it was transferred to the senior competition and is now the sub-unions premier trophy.

In 2022, the Darfield Division 1 team won this shield. It is also known that Kirwee were the holders in 1951, so presumably were the last holders.

Drones Info

Mention the word ‘drone’ and people are quick to respond with an experience they’ve had with one flying near or around their property. Drones are small or medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), that sound like a swarm of bees buzzing overhead.

Drones immediately cause suspicion as most are equipped with cameras and some have been used to ‘case’ out properties with the intention of operators to come back at another time to commitburglaries. However, not all drones are used to commit offencessome are purely for recreational use and others for business use such as taking real estate aerial photographyorforfarmuse.

While you don’t need a license to fly a drone in New Zealand, you do need to follow the New Zealand Civil Aviation Part 101 UAV rules andifyouneedtoflyoutside the Part 101 rules, you will need to hold a Part 102 unmanned aircraft operator certificate.

Safety and privacy are foremost in these UAV rules such as obtaining permission to fly over people in a public area and over private property; flying during daylight hours only; always keeping the drone in sight; staying at least 4km away from any nearby airports, airfields or helipads and keeping clear of any other aircraftflyingintheareasuch as other drones or small aircraft; and flying no higher than 120m above ground level.

If you see a drone flying around your neighbourhood, check with your local community social media page to see if it is being used for commercial purpose i.e. real estate. If it is flying over your property without your permission or at night time or inanunsafemanner,don’tbe tempted to ‘shoot’ it down as this can open you up to prosecution under several laws.Instead,takenoteofthe time, day and location of the drone, photo or video if you have one, and report it to police.

You can also report it to the Civil Aviation Authority and view the rules at www.aviation.govt.nz.
