This  morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  closure  was  mainly  to  allow  extra  time  to  put  up  the  new  red,  white  and  black  signage  and  to  get  new  computers  and  tills  ready  to  go.

Council rocks the boat with its choice to market wharf shops A  wave  of  disbelief  has  met  Waikato  District  Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  decision  to  appoint  a  Hamilton  real  estate  agent  to  try  WR ÂżOO WKH WRZQÂśV QHZ DQG VWLOO YHU\ empty-­looking  wharf  building.

Critics  say  they  cannot  fathom  why  a  Lodge  commercial  property  specialist  has  been  given  the  job  over  Raglan  realtors  to  market  the  building  for  lease.

And  their  concern  has  been  heightened  by  rumours  doing  the  rounds  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  after  a  claim  made  at  last  weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Raglan  Community  Board  meeting  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  that  potential  lessees  have  been  told  no-­one  could  come  out  to  show  them  around  the  $1.9  million  building  and  that  they  should  look  in  the  windows.

The  issue  came  up  in  the  public  forum  preceding  the  community  board  meeting,  where  Raglan  Community  House  co-­ ordinator  Chrissy  Hodkinson  asked  simply  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why  Lodge?â&#x20AC;?  Raglan  ward  councillor  Clint  Baddeley  referred  to  the  matter  being  an  â&#x20AC;&#x153;operationalâ&#x20AC;?  issue  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  in  other  words  one  handled  by  council  staff  based  in  Ngaruawahia  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  but  board  chairman  Rodger  Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  response  was  less  diplomatic.    â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  another  example  of  council  disengaging  from  the  community,â&#x20AC;?  he  complained.

Chrissy  told  the  Chronicle  she  raised  the  issue  because  â&#x20AC;&#x153;it  struck  me  as  kind  of  oddâ&#x20AC;?  that  Lodge  were  doing  the  marketing.    She  said  the  council  needed  reminding  there  were  agents  here  who  could  handle  the  work  instead.

Chamber members go in search of Hobbiton While  Frodo  and  Bilbo  were  not  in  residence  at  the  time  of  the  their  visit,  the  Raglan  Chamber  of  Commerce  members  had  a  wonderful  visit  to  the  Hobbiton  movie  set  in  Matamata  recently.  Hobbiton  is  expected  to  rapidly  become  the  number  one  tourist  destination  in  New  =HDODQG RQFH 3HWHU -DFNVRQœV ¿OP WKH Hobbit,  comes  out  in  December.  As  Tourism  New  Zealand  points  out,  when  local  operators  can  engage  with  tourists  about  places  to  visit  in  their  area,  it  gives  the  tourist  a  much  richer  and  deeper  experience  of  their  time  here.  This  trip  was  organised  as  a  familiarisation  tour  with  30  Chamber  members  taking  advantage  of  the  opportunity.

The  tour  was  followed  by  a  great  barbecue  meal  at  the  Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Rest,  a  converted  wool  shed.  On  site  there  is  also  the  Hobbiton  gift  shop,  complete  with  authentic  Hobbit  and  LOTR  jewellery.

C h a m b e r  members  had  a  great  time  and  the  tour  is  highly  r e c o m m e n d e d  for  Hobbit  and  non  Hobbit  fans  alike.  Stephanie  Philp

The  evening  before  the  community  board  meeting,  the  same  issue  was  discussed  at  a  regular  meeting  of  the  Raglan  Chamber  of  Commerce  board.   Chairwoman  Stephanie  Philp  said  board  members  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  understand  why  the  council  did  not  use  Raglan  agents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  make  any  sense,  no  logical  sense,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  should  have  gone  with  local  people.â&#x20AC;?

A  chamber  representative  who  subsequently  went  along  to  the  community  board  meeting  said  she  shared  Chrissyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  concerns  but  was  encouraged  that  Clint  undertook  to  take  the  matter  up  with  council.

Meanwhile  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  understood  Lodge  have  rung  at  least  one  Raglan  real  estate  agency  to  ask  if  it  would  â&#x20AC;&#x153;conjunctâ&#x20AC;?  with  them  in  marketing  the  wharf  leases,  and  that  the  agency  is  now  obliged  to  do  so  if  there  is  interest  from  potential  commercial  tenants.

However,  one  agent  approached  by  the  Chronicle  for  comment  was  pessimistic  over  the  appeal  of  the  wharf  building.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  major  concerns  that  ring  in  my  mind  are  the  [high]  rates  and  the  lack  of  parking,  especially  on  a  nice  day  when  a  lot  of  boats  are  out,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retail  depends  on  easy  parking  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  I  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  sign  a  lease  without  it.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  to  be  hard  getting  that  kind  of  money  down  there.â&#x20AC;?

The  â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind  of  moneyâ&#x20AC;?  the  council  has  been  seeking  in  annual   rent  for  the  seven  premises  is  understood  to  range  from  around  $30,000  for  a  large  space  fronting  where  the  trawlers  moor  to   half  that  amount  for  a Â

Vacant CBD shops soon thing of past?

Marketing  the  Raglan  wharf  leases  may  prove  a  challenge  but  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  mood  of  positivity  now  in  the  Raglan  CBD,  with  one  commercial  landlord  optimistic  that  town  retail  premises  will  soon  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty  well  fullâ&#x20AC;?.  He  told  the  Chronicle  he  believed  the  uptown  bakery  could  reopen  under  new  management  as  early  as  next  month  and  a  new  restaurant  in  the  old  Zaragoza  premises  by  October.   There  was  also  interest  in  the  former  Splurge  shop  on  Bow  Street,  and  the  reletting  of  the  old  Raglan  Information  Centre  premises  around  the  corner  in  Wainui  Road  was  close  to  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;done  dealâ&#x20AC;?.

Meantime  the  increasingly  busy  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost  Laneâ&#x20AC;?  precinct  off  the  seaward  side  of  Wainui  Road  has  gained  a  new  outdoor  eatery,  Juantanamera.   From  a  shiny  black  caravan  there,  Juan  Vicente  Gomez  is  cooking  up  and  serving  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  on  weekends  only  at  this  stage  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  what  he  describes  as  classic  Venezuelan  food. smaller  premises  alongside  and  on  down  to  $9000  for  areas  at  the  rear.   With  Raglan  Seafoods  and  the  council  apparently  still  negotiating  terms  as  recently  as  last  week,  it  is  believed  the  Coastguard  PD\ EH WKH RQO\ FRQÂżUPHG WHQDQW LQ WKH wharf  building.   And  that  earns  the  council  nothing  back  on  its  outlay  because  the  Coastguard  is  getting  a  grant  equivalent  to  its  rent.    Edith  Symes

Sports News: Magic night ends netball season Magic  was  the  theme  and  magic  was  the  night  when  Raglan  Area  School  Netball  Teams  celebrated  the  end  of  their  fabulous  season  with  a  dress-­up  party  last  Friday  night  at  Vinnies.

Through  the  efforts  of  many  who  helped  fund  raise  for  the  night,  all  18  QHWEDOO SOD\HUV UHFHLYHG VSHFLDO FHUWLÂżFDWHV an  engraved  medal  and  treats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  just  all  so  very  proud  of  how  the  teams  worked  hard  every  week  to  do  their  best.   There  have  been  some  huge  step-­ upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  in  performanceâ&#x20AC;?,  said  coach  Rochelle  White.

All-­in-­all  if  current  form  continues  into  next  year  there  is  a  really  good  chance  the  teams  will  do  very  well  in  their  grades.   One  thing  that  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  lacking  is  enthusiasm,  no  matter  what.     Sue  Russell

Super Sports do it again Raglan  Club  Inc.  has  a  proud  record  of  achievement  at  the  annual  Whangamata  Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mixed  sport  tournament.    By  bringing  home  the  trophy  again  this  year,  talented  all-­rounder  Maureen  Wahanga  has  won  the  pairs  trophy  three  times  in  the  last  seven  years.   This  year  Thomas  Lord,  who  works  part-­time  at  the  club  driving  the  courtesy  van,  partnered  Maureen  as  they  tackled  8  ball,  indoor  bowls  and  darts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  expecting  to  do  so  well  at  the  indoor  bowls  part  but  I  played  better  than  expected  and  with  Maureenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  skill  level  in  all  three  events  we  were  a  strong  combinationâ&#x20AC;?,  says  Thomas.

Both  plan  to  go  back  to  Whangamata  next  year  to  defend  their  title.

Maureen Wahanga, Thomas Lord & trophy

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  really  enjoy  going  to  Whangamata  and  seeing  the  same  players  year  after  year.   The  competition  is  full-­on  so  it  was  great  to  bring  the  trophy  back  to  Raglan  againâ&#x20AC;?,  says  Maureen  who  won  the  event  in  2011  and  in  2006.    Sue  Russell

Raglan 11th Grade PDNH UXJE\ Ă&#x20AC;QDOV The  Raglan  11th  grade  team  have  had  a  great  season  and  secured  themselves  a  6HPL ÂżQDO VSRW 7KH\ IRXQG WKHPVHOYHV up  against  Melville,  who  they  had  already  played  twice  and  lost  on  both  occasions.  However,  the  team  brought  WKHLU DOO WR WKH ÂżHOG RQ 6DWXUGD\ DW 6WDQ Heather  Park  against  the  favourites.  Melville  had  slow  start  and  Raglan  capitalized  on  their  mistake  and  scored  WKH ÂżUVW WU\ DQG EHIRUH KDOI WLPH WRRN WKH opportunity  to  score  again,  going  to  the  break  with  a  10-­0  lead.  In  the  second  half  Melville  never  looked  like  they  were  a  threat  and  Raglan  ran  in  another  two  tries  and  a  conversion  to  win  the  game  22-­0.

7KH ¿QDO ZLOO EH SOD\HG DW 6WDQ Heather  Park  against  Te  Rapa  on  Saturday,  so  get  along  to  the  game  and  support  them.

Congratulations  to  the  Team  and  their  coaches  Renata  Pirere  and  Jason  Waitere.    Goodluck  for  the  Finals  and  well  done  guys!    Jolene  Robbs
