Three sites close to Nelson’s CBD to cater for freedom campers could be up and running as early as this Friday – at a cost of nearly $80,000.

The city is expecting an “influx” of freedom campers this summer following the

closure of SH1 after the Kaikoura earthquake.

It will cost Nelson City Council an unbudgeted $78,000 to set up the designated areas, which are located at the Akerston Hardstand, Rutherford Park, and Haven Rd beside Anzac Park. Combined, the sites could accommodate up to 373 vehicles.

Non-notified resource consents have been lodged, and the sites will operate until March.

The budget will cover wi-fi, security/monitoring, bins, portaloo hire and cleaning, general cleaning and vandalism, and portable water tankers at a cost of $65,000.

Other additional costs will include secur-

ing consents, communications and signage, totalling $13,000.

Mayor Rachel Reese says she was hoping to introduce a temporary freedom camping by-law for this summer, but since it’s not possible to have it in place in time for

‘I have to work on Christmas Day’ Simon Bloomberg

Christmas Day is traditionally a time to relax with your family and friends, exchange gifts, over indulge in chocolate, ham, tur-

key and pavlova, and argue over which movie or game to watch on television.

But for a few people, December 25 will be just another day at the office. Christmas Day may have

“Very good idea, money well spent. It has been happening for a long time and you can’t stop it. If you can control it that’s the way to go.”

“Brilliant idea. It’s far better if they have designated places to go.”

“Yes, definitely money well spent. They’ll spend money here, and it’s a real down-to earth way to see New Zealand. Good idea.”

“I guess so, if it’s causing problems.”

“once you walk out the door and change your mindset into work mode, it’s usually a great shift”.

“Before I had children, I’d choose to work Christmas mornings,” Jodi says. “But now I have three boys, all primary school age, so this year I’ve volunteered to work an afternoon because it suits the family.

“It’s always hard to drag yourself away. Your first priority is always your family, so it’s difficult.

“But your second priority is your work and the people who need looking after. Once you get there it’s a great day because everyone is usually in good spirits. It’s usually very jovial and we take special treats along for staff and have some fun.”

Jodi says she will wake up at 5.30am on Sunday and open presents with her family before

heading out to Christmas lunch with family and friends. Then she’ll go to work and “come back at 11.30 at night and see if they are still there”.

Senior sergeant Blair Hall of the Nelson Police has also worked his share of Christmas Days and says “it just goes with the territory when you are a front-line police officer”.

However, Blair concedes that spending most of Christmas Day working became harder once he married and had children.

“It’s never easy missing family events on Christmas Day but you always know well in advance if you are working and juggle things around your shift. It’s not so bad because, if you are on the early shift, you get to the family dinner and the guys on late shift have a family lunch before the start.

“We also encourage our staff,

if they have a quiet period, to make contact with their families during their shift. It’s not always possible because our work is so unpredictable but they can usually get time for something, even if it’s a phone call.”

Fortunately, Blair says Christmas Day is traditionally quiet for police “because it’s such a big family day”.

He says the main issues relate to increased traffic movement as people drive around to visit family and friends and domestic violence “because Christmas can be a stressful time, financially and emotionally, for some families”.

There will also a significant number of people working in the hospitality industry on Christmas Day and, although it won’t be a matter of life and death, they still help make it enjoyable for the rest of us.

And for many of them, including

Tahuna Beach Holiday Park and Motel manager Marcel Fekkes, it’s always one of the busiest days of the year.

“We have 2500 to 3000 people in the camp over Christmas so we have to keep about 50 staff on over that period,” Marcel says.

“We usually get about 100 people arriving on Christmas Day and another 200 on Boxing Day, so there’s always a lot of preparation on Christmas Eve. “I’ll get up at 6am on Christmas Day and get into work at 7am, and then jump on the bike and do a round of the park to see if everything is in order.”

Although it’s busy, Marcel says it’s always enjoyable because the Christmas spirit is contagious and everyone is happy.

And after a lifetime of working in the hospitality industry, Marcel says working on Christmas Day is “just part of the game”.

Council creates freedom camping spots for summer

Permanent Make-up Designer Micropigmentation Specialist

F R E E C O N S U LTAT I O N

FROM PAGE 1 this summer, they needed something to “fill the gaps”, and doing nothing was “not an option.”

Nelson City councillors voted on the late agenda item at last Thursday’s full council meeting, with 11 supporting the idea and two against it - Cr Tim Skinner and Cr Ian Barker.

Cr Barker stated that the decision was “off the hoof ” and “not properly thought out.”

“We’re throwing money at it it’s bad decision-making and it’s going to result in problems,” he said.

Cr Skinner said that it would be “laying out the red carpet” for freedom campers and could take business off backpackers.

He, along with Cr Kate Fulton, also questioned whether the wi-fi would be necessary.

But several councillors said it was “crucial” to provide it.

Cr Paul Matheson said that since the majority of freedom campers are from overseas it would be “essential” for them to have wi-fi to keep in touch with their families.

Cr Matt Lawrey also spoke in favour of the idea.

“Wi-fi is just a modern fact of life - they will just go park somewhere they can get it. It’s not a problem, it’s an opportu-

Group Manager Infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, said that the sites were chosen for various reasons, including proximity to the CBD and ease of securing consents.

Other areas considered were Founders Park, Sovereign St skatepark, Neale Park at North Rd and Tahunanui Beach.

He stated that Nelson usually has around 1,000 freedom campers over the summer period in its two car parks - Buxton and Montgomery - with a peak of around 80 at any one time in each car park.

Signage in the carparks currently encourages freedom campers to use the Brook, Maitai and Tahuna motor camps, but these are all outside of the CBD and require payment.

“The intent is to encourage freedom campers not to use the city’s parking squares, but to ensure aggregation of campers for ease of security and monitoring in areas that are close to the CBD and easily managed,” he stated in his report.

German freedom camper Annika Maier, who has been in Nelson for two nights, was happy to hear of the new sites.

“We’ve been parking in Buxton Square and Saturday night was crazy - we had lots of drunk people knocking on our door.” she said. “We are not self-contained so sometimes it can be hard to find a place. We are in New Zealand for six months so we want to travel cheaply.”

She said that water and toilets were essential, and although Wi-Fi would be good, it wouldn’t be necessary.

ITM’s special worker retires Simon Bloomberg One of ITM Nelson’s most special employees got on his bike last week and rode out of the Pascoe St yard for the last time, signalling the end of more than 30 years of dedicated service to the building supply company.

In fact, Graham Dougherty, 70, has been working there so long nobody knows exactly when he started.

And Graham himself, who is special needs and was placed in the position by IHC, isn’t sure either, although ITM Nelson’s group sales manager and director Rodney Wolf thinks “it’s about 30 years”.

“When I came here in 1999, he was already here from the previous owner from 1992 and he was here before that, so it’s got to be close to 30 years,” Rod says.

“He tells everyone he’s only been here 25 years, but it’s longer than that.”

But what Rod does know is that Graham “is good at what he does

“He’s been cutting and pointing pegs and cleaning up around the site - he has a place in our business. Some of the previous man-

laws have made it hard for special needs workers like Graham to find work.”

Site manager Dean Hamilton says Graham was well known for inventing contraptions, including a stand for sweeping up rubbish and his own shelter for enjoying smoko outdoors.

He planted his own little vegetable garden on-site and “did a little dance when he got his pay cheque each week”.

Dean says Graham was also very dedicated and rarely missed a day in the last 20 years.

“I can only remember one day he didn’t arrive on time and we got pretty worried - we thought he might have been knocked off his bike.

“So we went around to his place and we found him watching the Olympics on television - he was so excited by it he forgot about work.”

ITM purchased Graham a new commuter bike from Village Cycles and a 20-movie pass for his retirement present.

Local man arrested for alleged beach stabbing: A local 25-year-old has been arrested and charged in relation to a stabbing incident on Friday evening. At around 9pm, an Irish tourist was running near the playground at Tahunanui Beach when she was approached by a man who stabbed her in the leg with a large knife. The woman received hospital treatment for the moderate wound and has been left very traumatised by the incident. Police would like to thank the members of the public who came to the woman’s aid and helped identify the alleged offender, who was arrested a short time later.

Councillor to tackle tagger Nelson City councillor Tim Skinner knows who is responsible for the wave of tagging in the city and he plans to "ask him to stop."

Tim received photos on Sunday night of the latest outbreak of tagging and a photo of the alleged tagger, brazenly giving the photographer an paint-stained finger. The person, who took the photos and wishes to remain anonymous, also provided a link to the tagger's Facebook page which features posts bragging about his latest tags.

"The person sent me the photos last night," Tim says. "They have done well to identify the tagger, so I said I'd go and knock on the door of this guy myself and say "what the hell are you doing" and ask him to stop.

"I'll go and see the police as well and talk to our chief executive about it. The council is pretty hot on this sort of thing."

Tim says he isn't surprised the tagger has been identified because "Nelson is a small community and it doesn't take long to find out who's doing these sorts of things".

The tagger is believed to have spray-painted graffiti on a wall in an lane between Bridge St and Montgomery car park on Friday night. He is thought to be responsible for over 50 tags around the city and has a signature 'Repa'.

PRESCHOOL COLLECTS CANS FOR SALLIES: From left, Charles McMillan, Levi Cavil and Decklyn Watson, along with the rest of ACE Nayland Preschool, turned the focus of Christmas to giving this year, handing over three boxes of food and presents to Captain Kenneth Walker for the Salvation Army’s Christmas appeal. Kenneth says it’s absolutely wonderful that kids this age are thinking about and doing something to help other kids and families that are doing it a bit harder this Christmas. “Being a part of the community, even from a very young age, means looking out for each other and these guys are doing a fantastic job of doing exactly that.”

'Thanks for helping me walk again' Andrew Board A Nelson schoolgirl’s brush with life in a wheelchair has been ended thanks to the physiotherapists at Nelson Hospital.

Claudia Gillespie was feeling nauseous in her social studies class at Waimea College this winter, she excused herself to head to the bathroom. There she collapsed and when she woke up she couldn’t feel the use of her legs.

Fortunately, the 15-year-old was able to text a friend who alerted office staff. An ambulance took Claudia to hospital along with her concerned parents. Over the next few days various tests were conducted and the family were told she suffered a functional weakness, which is caused by stress and can leave sufferers paralysed for several months.

For Claudia it was a scary time but she had one focus: to walk again.

“It’s all I thought about really, I never thought that I wouldn’t be able to walk again.”

After three months working with the physiotherapists at Nelson Hospital, Claudia was desperate to return to school. She was given a wheelchair and made her way back to class. But some bullying, including losing some friends, threw even more challenges at her.

But a month later, with some innovative ideas from her physio, Claudia took her first steps in around four months at Nelson Hospital. “It was amazing,” says her dad Andrew. “They were really clever and came up with some great ideas to get her legs moving.

Slowly, but surely, she started to walk again.”

And it was slow.

At first, she could only shuffle along, then some uncoordinated, shaky steps, before eventually able to walk across the room by herself. Claudia says it felt great to be walking again. “My legs ached so much, they were so sore, but it did feel good to be able to get out of that wheelchair.”

Claudia and her parents contacted Nelson Weekly because she

feels that without the help and support of the physiotherapists at Nelson Hospital, she wouldn’t be walking. Andrew says they wanted to thank them publicly.

“We said, ‘you guys are amazing’, and they said, ‘tell the paper, because we only get bad press’.

“When you’ve been in a situation for like four months and you see people with sweat pour-

ing off them trying to help your kid walk… it’s hard to put into words.”

Claudia says she’s looking forward to spending her summer holiday enjoying the outdoors of Nelson and trying to catch up on some of the school work she missed. A good problem to have, when there were much worse to deal with just a few months ago.

Summer fun on NBus Reduce your Christmas shopping stress by taking the NBus into town. You’ll have no hassles with parking or increased traffic so you can concentrate on getting those gifts sorted.

With summer upon us, it’s a good time to remember that the NBus is the perfect way to get to the beach. Again there are no problems with parking and there are stops right at the beach so grab your towel and get aboard!

PleaSe let the BuS go firSt As the roads do get busier over summer, we’d like to remind all motorists to please let the bus go first when it needs to get back into traffic.

Don’t be concerned about getting stuck behind a “slow” bus.

They stop to pick up and drop off passengers very regularly so you will soon get past.

The NBus tries hard to stick to the timetable so your consideration in letting the bus go first, especially over the busy holiday period, makes a really big difference

NBus holiday service changes Saturday 24 December - usual service but the Late Late bus will run only until 1am on Christmas morning.

Sunday 25 December (Christmas Day) - No services Monday 26 December (Boxing Day) and tuesday 27 December

More apartments A Nelson car park will be home to the city’s newest apartments next year.

Last week, Bayleys Real Estate announced the fourfloor apartment building will feature 14 residences ranging from 91 square metre onebedroom units to 223 square metre three-bedroom homes.

It comes just a month after Bayleys also announced it was marketing 32 apartments which are to be build on Haven Rd. Occupying a corner site of Trafalgar and Nile Streets, across the road from the Cathedral's grounds, the building will have views over the city and to the sea.

Mall Chat • If you’re still looking for that perfect gift, keep in mind that all stores in the Richmond Mall are open until 8pm until this Friday.

Nelson’s Christmas wish list revealed Kate Russell What do Nelsonians want for Christmas? Well, according to according to Trade Me’s annual list of top ten Christmas searches for the Nelson Bays region, they want imaginary animals, sports gear and the good old kiwi classic – the trampoline.

The internet trading site has revealed that the most searched for item in Nelson during November was Hatchimals, followed by Nike, trampolines, Lego, iPhones, Adidas, Country Road/Karen Walker, puppies, Pokémon and PS4 (Playstation 4).

Trade Me spokesperson Jeff

The top ten Trade Me searches for Christmas presents include ‘Hatchimals’, trampolines, Lego, Nike shoes and Playstations. Image: Nelson Weekly.

Hunkin says Hatchimals – interactive creatures that hatch from an egg - are one of the ‘it’ toys around the world this year, and are a new entrant to the top 10 list in most regions around the country.

Hatchimals need to be cared

for so they grow older - the idea is to nurture your egg, make it hatch, then look after it and teach it how to sing, walk and talk.

But, it’s not surprising they have topped the list - most NZ retailers have sold out and Trade Me is one of the

only places left to try and get one.

Jeff says Lego, trampolines and iPhones continue to be very popular, while fashion brands Adidas, Country Road and Karen Walker make an appearance this year too.

He says that other popular searches for Nelson this Christmas also include swimming pools, spa pools, surfboards, mountain bikes, jet boats/boats for sale and “vintage”.

Gifts that have fallen off the radar from last Christmas include kayaks, Converse shoes, barbeques, outdoor furniture and camping equipment.

Round up of 14 hour council meeting TINY THEATRE: A “Tiny Theatre” to be housed in a 40 foot shipping container has been granted $20,000 from Nelson City Council.

The proposed theatre would be in the Kirby Lane Container Mall, on Bridge St, and will help local artists show their talents, say the trustees behind the idea. They spoke to councillors at a full meeting on Thursday.

Trustees Laura Irish, Dan Allan and Lloyd Harwood said the proposed theatre will help grow Nelson’s performing arts scene. Dan said the arts have good facilities in Nelson with the Theatre Royal and work underway at the Nelson School of Music, but that the Tiny Theatre would target a different market. “[This is] more about emerging artists, fringe arts, getting youth engaged in theatre and having a presence in the CBD. When we think Nelson, we think an artistic place and this goes to the heart of that.”

COUNCIL SUPPORTS SOUTHERN LINK INVESTIGATION: Mayor Rachel Reese will write a letter to New Zealand Transport Agency indicating Nelson City Council’s support of its investigation into the Southern Link road, as exclusively reported by Nelson Weekly last Tuesday.

Nelson City councillors voted on the issue on Thursday with nine councillors supporting the move and three against it.

The three dissenting votes were from councillors Matt Lawrey, Luke Acland and Brian McGurk.

EASTER TRADING: Nelson has followed Tasman’s lead and will not allow Easter trading in the city. Councillors voted on the issue during Thursday’s full council meeting, with four voting to consult further with the community and Bill Dahlberg abstaining.

Seven councillors, along with Mayor Rachel Reese, voted to keep the status quo.

BEACH BUS: The council granted $15,000 to the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park to run a beach bus from the park to Tahuna Beach and then to i-Site in Nelson city and back. The bus will run every day for six weeks, with the exception of Christmas day, from 9am to 8pm. Fares will be $2 for adults and $1 for children.

I was very happy with the customer service and range of products with selecting feature wallpaper for the house so it was an easy choice again to get ColourPlus to help me with drapes and blinds for the new build.

The team at ColourPlus were knowledgeable and had some great advice using my floor-plans, colour charts and flooring choices to narrow down options, initially from off the plan, through to selecting samples to complement our colours and floorings and importantly fit in with our build budget, finally installing them to a fantastic finish to our new home.

I can highly recommend calling it to see the team at ColourPlus for a great product range, friendly and knowledgeable service!

I personally know the person who designed the Trafalgar Centre, and when it was built it was made so if there was an earthquake it would be safe.

'Sport makers' recognised Simon Bloomberg

Special Olympics Life Member Lois Aitkenhead and the driving force behind Waimea College's successful volleyball programme Josh Ovsenek have been named as two of the region's top sport makers.

The two dedicated sporting volunteers were recognised for their years of service, alongside Motueka soccer administrator James Monaghan, at Sport Tasman's ASB Sport Maker Breakfast held at Saxton Pavilion last Thursday. The ASB Sport Maker Breakfast is Sport Tasman’s way of thanking and celebrating outstanding volunteers within the community, with all volunteers nominated through Lotto New Zealand's Thank a Sport Maker campaign.

Sport Tasman's Nigel Muir says Lois puts "her heart and soul into the Special Olympics movement and inspires everyone around her."

He says the retired specialneeds teacher has been active in Special Olympics since the 1990s and is the Nelson chairperson and coordinator.

"Under her leadership, Special Olympics Nelson has contin-

These athletes regularly compete in local, regional and national competitions across eight sports."

Nigel says Josh "is the most amazing volleyball coach" who led Waimea College girls to a gold medal in the national secondary schools champs in 2014 and a silver in 2015.

"Josh's technical knowledge is extraordinary and he is one of the best in the sport. He is an enthusiastic coach who is passionate about the sport."

Many of Josh's athletes have been selected for national teams and secured international volleyball scholarships As well as coaching, Josh or-

ganises the weekly beach volleyball competition in Nelson.

Nigel says the nominees for the Sport Maker Breakfast were "the oxygen that make the system work" and Sport Tasman "is really proud and delighted" to be able to recognise their massive contribution.

"The Sport Maker awards are one of my favourite days. We have so many amazing volunteers and these guys here this morning are just the tip of the iceberg."

Josh received a $50 sports store voucher and Lotto and ASB merchandise, while Lois received a $100 voucher and Lotto and ASB merchandise.

Victory Boxing's Paul Hampton was guest speaker at the awards.

Photographer earns top award

Jacob Page

Local sports photographer Chris Symes has won the Best Single Sports Photo at the TP McLean Sports Journalism Awards in Auckland.

Chris, who is contracted by the Nelson Weekly, Waimea Weekly and nelsonlive. co.nz through Shuttersport, won the award with a photograph of a rippa rugby game at the Motueka Sports Grounds in May. In the photograph, a Huia player shows his joy in tagging a Waimea Old Boys girl, after a hot pursuit.

“I saw the wee girl take off across the field and the boy chased her for a fair while, like 15 to 20m, and then he reached out and ripped her tag and I was able to capture his face, which was

Chris says the win is something he had wanted for a number of years.

“I’m over the moon – this is my third go at trying to win the TP McLean so to have achieved it is a great

Tom Ingham blasts Waimea Toi Toi to title Jacob Page

Tom Ingham's 141 guided Waimea Toi Toi to a 49-run win over Stoke-Nayland in the 110-over cricket final at Jubilee Park. Photo: Chris Symes/Shuttersport. before opening his shoulders once again after he earned his century.

Tom was dropped on 91 by Ryan Edwards, a moment which effectively ended Stoke-Nayland's title aspirations.

“I think once that happened I knew I had to push on and get a lot runs, as it was my day.”

He received support from Blair Carpenter who made

46.

The pair put on 126 for the second wicket.

Tom and Doug Seward put on 68 for the sixth wicket.

Right-arm seamers Brad Duncan and Simon Carr each grabbed three wickets for Stoke-Nayland.

The visitors run chase lacked the big score Tom had given his team.

Brendan Hodgson topscored with 49 while opener

Ben Horman added 35, as did big-hitting alrounder Dylan Eginton whose 35 runs came off just 15 balls.

Waimea Toi Toi shared their wickets around with Jon Routhan, Matt Eden, Tom O'Neill and Amit Dhiman taking two wickets each.

The 50-over competition will start on January 7 with the Twenty20 competition getting underway on January 12.

SportS FooTball: Tasman United's misery continued in the Stirling Sports Premiership football competition, losing 3-1 to previously bottom of the table Southern United in Mosgiel on Saturday. Tasman United Youth beat Southern United Youth 5-0. Alex Connor-McClean scored four goals in the win.

Waimea Toi Toi opener Tom Ingham's highest club score of 141 ensured there would be no upset in the Nelson 110-over club cricket final at Jubilee Park on Saturday.

Top qualifiers Waimea Toi Toi, who went unbeaten on their way to the title, beat Stoke Nayland by 49 runs.

The hosts bowled out the visitors for 221 in their pursuit of 270 for eight.

Tom's innings stood out, as no other player could get past 50 on the day.

Tom hit 16 fours and five sixes as he bludgeoned the Stoke-Nayland bowlers and raised his strike rate as his time at the crease went on.

“Jubilee is known for being a bit green, but I thought it played really well and I got a lot of confidence early.

“I always try to target back over the bowler's head as a place I can score.”

He did ride his luck at times and struggled to score regularly during the 80s and 90s

Bridget Budget answers your questions

Q: I have been asked to be a

guarantor for my son’s first mortgage; is there any real risk for me?

A: If a bank has asked for a guarantee, it may

indicate that they consider the loan to be risky.

If you are a guarantor, you will be required to pay all the debt if you son fails to pay. I recommend that you get independent legal advice. Guarantor agreements are complex and include important clauses that you should fully understand the meaning of.

Some common clauses include:  The guarantor’s assets (eg. a house) are used as security for the debt. If the debt is not paid, the bank can sell the guarantor’s assets to recover the money owed.  Guarantors are also liable for any future borrowing such as penalties, interest or over-drafts in relation to the original debt or even new loans.  Guarantors may be called upon to immediately pay the outstanding debt in full.  Guarantors are not entitled to know anything about the lenders dealings with the bank, even if they are behind in their payments.

If you decide to go ahead with the guarantee, ask your lawyer how you can minimise your risk. You could say ‘no’ to being a guarantor and consider other ways that you might help your son.

15 NZ Masters hockey reps for region Club Champs loom Jacob Page

Jody Scott

Nelson hockey has 15 players who have been selected to represent New Zealand in May next year at the biannual trans-Tasman hockey Challenge Series against Australia.

All up, 13 New Zealand teams will do battle against Australia in Whangarei from May 2 to 6. Players will compete in a three test series across 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+ and 60+ men’s and women’s age groups Trials were held at North Harbour Stadium recently with over 350 players showing their wares across both trial days.

In the Womens 35 grade, Nelson will be represented by Jay Sigley and Diane Webb who were both involved in the winning New Zealand team in Melbourne in 2015.

In the Womens 40s grade, Karen Eden will be back representing her country along with first-time representative Jackie Day who only took up playing in goal again last year after a 10 year break.

In the men’s grades, Jaron Steffens will be involved in his second endeavour with the New Zealand team after coming back with a bronze from the World Cup held earlier this year in Canberra.

Gene Cooper and Mark Gibbons will once again be involved in the men’s 45 grade.

Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway fires back into action after Christmas with its Club Championship meeting on December 27.

It is the last meeting for Shane Harwood to run the 1nz on his car, as he defends his national title in Palmerston North the following week.

For many of the drivers, it will be the last meeting to get the car sorted before heading away for their respective New Zealand title meetings.

Ian Burson will be travelling to Cromwell to compete for the Super Saloon Title.

Ian is a strong chance for a podium finish while Mark Carey

Nelson Hockey has 15 New Zealand Masters representatives for the 2017 season. They are Gene Cooper, Jackie Day, Craig Mant, Mike Gafa, Jaron Steffens, Gary Wilson, Tim Brenton, Diane Webb, Mark Gibbons. Karen Eden front left, Brett Butcher, Jay Sigley and Craig Brett, Absent are Nick Perrott and Jimmy Mathews. Photo: Supplied.

Both these experienced players will be pivotal in the team’s plans if they are to take the gold medal in May 2017.

Veterans Craig Brett, Brett Butcher and Nick Perrott will be joined by Mike Gafa who is moving up from the 45 men into the men’s 50 grade, These players have amassed over 300 international games between them.

They will be joined by new comer Craig Mant who has also been named as a non-travelling reserve in the team.

Tim Brenton and Jimmy Mathews will be involved in the Men’s 60+

grade along with Gary Wilson also being a non-travelling reserve for the team.

All the New Zealand players will now be involved in a busy four month training programme, which will also involve Nelson's younger High Performance players striving for places in the Capital Hockey age-group teams which will be selected early next year.The Master players will be helping out in a new mentoring programme set up recently at Nelson Hockey and will be wanting the young Nelson players to push themselves to achieve their goals in 2017.

and Dave Manera will also be competing.

Michael Paynter, Adam Hall and Tim Ross head to Kihikihi for the Stock Car Title decider, while most of the super stocks will be heading to Palmerston North to compete with Shane.

The midgets have been thin on the ground lately, but with the New Zealand Title not too far away there could be visitors turning up to get familiar with the track before the serious racing begins and titles are handed out.

It’s the peak time of the season with many of the New Zealand championships decided over the next month; hopefully Nelson drivers can feature in the results.

Current Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway club champion Michael Paynter will be looking to defend his title.

Maurice Abrahams is a legend in Nelson. He still plays in the Nelson Brass Band, has served as a Freemason for more than 70 years and volunteers for Arthritis NZ after developing two forms of arthritis.

Along with his partner Sue, Maurice leads an active life and part of it is volunteering at the Ngawhatu swimming pool, where he is a trained lifeguard.

“But I only save the ladies,” he joked.

Last week he and Sue spent two hours at Z petrol station in Halifax St, where he worked as a “community concierge” washing windows and greeting customers. He handed out orange tokens which his customers could use to vote for Arthritis NZ and help the charity receive cash from Z, through its Good in the Hood promotion. Maurice says he got relief from his treatment so wanted to give back, but he wasn’t sure if he’d be offered a job after his efforts. “Sue’s right into it and I just follow along, but when people respond you feel good.”
