aglan surfers made their mark at Whangamata over the weekend during the second of three events in the Billabong Grom Series presented

by Oceanbridge. Despite forecasted swells failing to materialise, leaving competitors to battle it out in small 0.5m waves, Raglan’s young talent rose to the challenge.

Maya Mateja once again proved her dominance in the Under-18 Girls Division, securing back-to-back wins and demonstrating her skill even in the tricky conditions. Her victory, alongside strong performances from fellow Raglan surfers Alani Morse and Luca Thompson in the Under-16 divisions, as well as Jimmy Wernham in the Under-14 Boys, saw Point Boardriders of Raglan claim the overall top club honours for the event.

The Under-18 Girls final was a tight contest, with Mateja and Mount Maunganui’s Sage Fritchley splitting a peak in the closing moments. Both surfers attacked the wave on their backhand, but Mateja edged ahead with an 8.83-point ride, taking the win with a total score of 15.86 over Fritchley’s 13.74. The pair now sit first and second in the NZ Grom Series rankings heading into the next event. Chloe Groube (Pauanui) placed third, making a welcome return to the podium, while Poppy Entwisle (Taranaki) finished fourth for the third consecutive time.

In the Under-16 Boys Division, Raglan surfers went head-to-head in a thrilling final exchange, with Luca Thompson narrowly defeating Indica Corcoran.

Thompson sealed the win with a 7.40-point ride, just edging out Corcoran’s 7.0. Piha’s Zeke Pragert placed third, while first-time

finalist Ollie Tong (Gisborne) finished fourth.

Raglan’s Alani Morse continued her strong form, claiming victory in the Under-16 Girls Division for the second event running. Morse finished ahead of Indi-Lee Ruddell (Whangārei) in second, with Piha’s Poppy Arkle and Kyra Wallis rounding out the final in third and fourth, respectively.

Meanwhile, young Raglan talent Jimmy Wernham made a stunning debut at the national level, storming through the Under-14 Boys field to take out the division late on Saturday afternoon. Ahipara’s Jade Nias Phillips secured the win in the Under-14 Girls category.

While the conditions weren’t ideal, Raglan’s surfers proved their ability to adapt and excel, setting themselves up strongly for the final event in the series.

Boats and fishos galore as local hotel stages $25,000 long-weekend contest

by Edith Symes

Jacqueline Jones receives her prize from Harty.

R

aglan’s Harbour View Hotel was celebrating a successful dip into uncharted waters this week with its very own Waitangi Weekend fishing tournament, an event that attracted more than 100 anglers keen to snare a whopper or two and a share of the $25,000 prize pool.

“It was a big few days,” publican Fiona Gates told the Chronicle of the hotel’s inaugural competition. Careful planning began months ago, she said, to bring the fishing community together without detracting from other events in town.

At least two in three of the entrants were locals, she reckoned, with quite a few from Hamilton and the Coromandel making the trip over the divvy – and one fisho even crossing the Tasman to accompany his mates.

Some keen or first-time anglers without a boat didn’t miss out on the fun either, she added, with two local charter boats included in the competition and carrying teams of entrants on board.

Anglers on Chasin Tail tag and release marlin.

Novice angler Levi Banks receives his prize from Harty.

This ensured the tournament was easily accessible to all and – by also keeping to a minimal number of categories with no distinction made between male, female, junior or senior – that the novice could compete alongside the pro and still win prizes whether hooking snapper, gurnard, tuna or marlin for instance.

Te Kowhai teenager Levi Banks was just one novice to do well, scoring third prize for a 2.965kg kahawai caught on the first of his three days out fishing.

Local woman Jacqueline Jones also scored big, winning a $1000 rod for her 2.98kg kahawai.

Besides angler prizes there were also boat prizes for the most tagged and released marlin, 31 all up being returned to the sea.

Local anglers on Chasin Tail came in third in this category, winning rods and reels up to the value of $1600. They, like some others, stayed out at sea for the whole three days, leaving early the Thursday morning and returning the Saturday afternoon.

Another angler on Raglan’s Sea Charger landed a second place for a marlin which was not only the first caught during the competition but the first from that boat in 20 years.

All up, 25 place-getter prizes plus additional spot prizes were given away – to the value of $27,000, which was more than the advertised $25,000 because of an extra section added to the billfish category.

First, second and third prize-winners received rod and reel sets while spot prizes included $100 food and beverage vouchers, hooded towels and hats, tackle boxes and a deluxe $600 chilly-bin.

Incentive to join the competition was high from the start, says Fiona, with almost half the 32 boats registering before December 31 last year to take advantage of going in the draw for a $500 fuel voucher.

Every registration also received a generous goodie bag from either local sponsor Ray White or Harty’s Fishing and Hardware, which partnered with the Harbour View to make the competition a success.

Toitū te Tiriti - Waitangi Day Whaingaroa 2025 Looking back to move forward together from Toitu te Tiriti Whaingaroa

Waitangi Day 2025 held at theTown Hall on February 6. Majority of images thanks to Margaret Dillon.

F

or event organisers of ‘Raglan Naturally Toitū Te Tiriti Waitangi Day Whaingaroa 2025’, it was particularly important that the community had an opportunity to come together and mark our national day in ways which were both meaningful and hopeful.

With the aim of educating, creating, and activating, organisers wanted to provide a space where people could learn, acknowledge, affirm, celebrate and kōrero about the foundations and relationships that Te Tiriti o Waitangi established in Aotearoa.

Being able to explore how the community can continue to uphold their collective commitment to those foundations was also an aim of the day.

Held at the Raglan Town Hall, over 350 people - locals and visitors of all ages - came in and enjoyed all that was on offer. Similar to Waitangi Day 2024, a historical timeline of key events in our nation's history lined the walls. However, in 2025 the display started with Māori resistance, from before the signing of Te Tiriti in 1840 to our present day, including the establishment of ‘Te Wakaminenga o Nga Hapu o Nu Tireni’ - the General Assembly of The Tribal Nations in 1808; the creation of the ‘Te Wakaminenga’ flag in 1834; the signing of ‘He Whakaputanga o te Rangatira o Nu Tireni’ – The Declaration of Independence in 1835; and the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi on February 6th 1840.

Particularly popular were photo boards showing the actions our community,

including tamariki and rangatahi, had taken since Waitangi Day 2024: community postcard and submission writing workshops; multiple hikoi in Kirikiriroa (Hamilton) and Pōneke (Wellington); Matariki Indigenous Art and Film Festival; Oliver McLeod’s ‘Geology of Karioi’ book launch and much more. Not only did people have a great time spotting themselves in the displays, it reminded them of what they had achieved over the past year.

The raranga/weaving corner was a gathering point for people as they stopped to watch and learn from local practitioners from weaving collective- Nga hua o te rito (The heart of the flax).

A Te Tiriti activation table, led by volunteers, shared a range of information and resources. This included information about Maori Wards, the value they bring to local decision making and the importance of enrolling to vote in upcoming local body elections in October was one focus. Another was bringing community awareness to the wide range of resources available to help people critically explore their own journeys with Te Tiriti and decolonisation, including upcoming Tangata Tiriti training opportunities.

The community Kotahitanga Korowai, started in 2024, continued to be added to, with the kids really putting the paint pens to great use in creating new flags. Visitors also took the opportunity to add their signatures to the Toitū Te Tiriti Whaingaroa canvas, affirming their support for our constitutional foundations in Aotearoa, and the ‘Together

for Te Tiriti’ photo frame was a perfect reminder of the kaupapa of the day.

The Event co-organiser Michelle said, “We set up the hall in such a way that people could take their time to absorb the content of the displays and think about what it might mean for them. It was great to look over and see whānau, including tamariki and rangatahi, on the couch and beanbags flicking through the resources and books.

We want to thank the community for turning out in such great numbers. It really was a beautiful day filled with collective hope’’.

Outside on the median strip under the trees, street artist Dallas Mihinui spent the day creating an amazing Toitū Whaingaroa banner for the community. Also happening outside was the Toitū te Tiriti Tiki Tour where whānau were directed to specific places of interest across town and encouraged to share their discoveries via social media. For some, the Tiki Tour filled in the time perfectly while they were waiting for their delicious hangi. With rave reviews, the community was certainly very appreciative of the hard, hot work done by Leo McQueen and his hangi crew.

Those in the supper room were hosted by amazing kitchen angels, with delicious home baking provided by community members.

Although there was no live feed from Waitangi this year, those having coffee and cake were treated to the brand new Radio New Zealand series ‘Treaty Talks’, a visual podcast hosted by Whaingaroa’s very own Kara Rickard that dives deep into the history

and impact of Aotearoa's founding document, Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

A big thank you to the following sponsors for their generous support of Waitangi Day 2025: Raglan Naturally (Toitū Project Team); PureLink who sponsored and provided our Wifi connection; and Waikato District Council.

Event organisers would also like to pass on a big thank you to those who helped to make the day a success; Leo McQueen & the hangi crew, Margaret Dillon, Linda and Tony Mayow, Tania Lattaney, Dulcie Brunel, Lesley Clough, Meredith Youngson, Karen Britton, Gabrielle Parson, Mike Rarere, Gareth Bellamy, Jasmine Hunter and Sue Noble.

Anyone wanting to be kept updated with ongoing Toitū Whaingaroa events can email tetirititoitu@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list or join the Facebook page Toitu te Tiriti Whaingaroa Raglan.

Line Dancing: Sunset Harbour Cruise

by Jane Forkert

W

hat started as a casual suggestion for a Line Dancing Sunset Harbour Cruise on the Wahine Moe was quickly becoming a reality, and the Line Dancing Harbour Cruise Facebook chat had turned into a flurry of culinary planning!

Ping! I pick up my phone for the hundredth time that day.

Should we just have gluten-free vege sausages, or should we add something else? Thanks to Tish, the vegetarians were well looked after with her delicious homemade vege patties.

Come the Monday of the cruise and everyone was well prepared. I had ordered the meat the week before and was on track to pick it up later that day; Becs had done grocery shopping in Hamilton, Tomato Sauce and all! Tish was slaving over her hot stove in potato salad and patty mode, and Louisa was knee deep in green salad and buns (not to mention the watermelons and brownie baking!). So off I toddled over to Images from left: Brooke and JamesRay (photo credit Jane Forkert); Line Dancers: Paula, Ciane, Anita, Becs, her place to relieve her of the glutenous job of slicing them.

Tish, Jane and Faith (photo credit David Nordell); Line Dancers: Paula and Louisa (photo credit Dave Nordell) On the way over I decided to stop at the butchers to see how our order was getting on. Holy F@#* bubble - the lights were out and nobody was in there! Of course! Public holiday! I didn’t have Jacob’s number, so messaged him on his Facebook butcher page, at the same time envisaging him out in the middle of the sea fishing! On arrival at Louisa’s, other frantic options of meat purchasing were discussed. Then…. ‘Ping!’

I’m just at the shop now getting your order together. Text me your number. There was a bit of whooping, and less than 30 minutes later I was off in the car to pick up the BBQ banquet.

Thank you, Jacob, at Top Cut Butchery Raglan for working on your day off. The patties, sausages and ribs were a big hit, and comments were made in their flavour.

A Line Dancing Sunset Harbour Cruise on the Wahine Moe was suggested some time ago and finally brought to life with the choreography of Louisa who teaches line dancing at the Raglan Club every Thursday (except the last one of the month); her passion for those country-like steps is inspirational.

JamesRay, who plays his wonderful country music for us line dancers (and of course the rest of you there), at the Raglan Club, was a front runner for the cruise and brought along his family, Sharlene and Faith. It was great to have them on board, Images from left: Maria and her mum Mel (photo credit Jane Forkert); The sunset (photo credit David Nordell); and lovely to see James out of cowboy performer mode, just a Leaving the sunset (photo credit Jane Forkert) regular dude having a barbie on a boat.

Cruisers came from all over; Otorohanga, Te Awamutu, a Spotify playlist to match. My sea-legs were extremely spoons. They BBQ’d and bartended, and were a pleasure to Cambridge, Whangarei, Auckland, Kirikiriroa and of course challenged, boats are not my forte. There was a bit of chat to. So, thank you to the skipper – Brook, Valeriu and Whaingaroa. Most were line dancers, some were not, but wobbling, and tilting, and bumping, a lot of laughter. Overall, Hariroa.

I heard they had just as fabulous a time. All ages too, right I think we did incredibly well.

We are keen to make this an annual event, though next time down to our youngest Foxy Squirrel (the Raglan line dancers), The crew of the Wahine Moe were exceptional in their Maria. We line danced on the top deck, and we line danced hospitality and accommodation of our musical demands we’re thinking to extend it one hour, and maybe just do a down below. Louisa had put together a set-list of dances and and dancing space. They loaned us butter knives and sauce grazing table!

Orca incidents prompt DOC plea From Department of Conservation

O

rca pod sightings in two Waikato harbours have prompted DOC staff to remind boaties, kayakers and jet-skiers to enjoy the animals from a safe distance A family pod of five orca – part of the resident population off NZ’s coasts –was seen in Raglan Harbour in January. DOC staff says it’s likely the animals are feeding in the harbour, as they visit frequently.

DOC’s Waikato Operations Manager Niwha Jones says DOC has received reports of people in both harbours getting too close to the animals, potentially putting themselves and the orca at risk.

Concerns about human behaviour near the orca have also been raised on local social media pages.

In one incident, a boat was alleged to be chasing the pod in Raglan Harbour.

“The orca pod is bringing people a lot of joy, which is great,” Niwha says.

“However, this family group includes a large male and an adult female – these are powerful animals that could do serious harm if agitated.”

The pod also includes calves which are particularly susceptible to injury or disturbance, including being separated from their mothers.

“It’s really important to let the orca decide how they want to interact with people,” Niwha says.

“We can’t stop the orca from approaching people, but we should be letting them choose to do that, rather than forcing our presence on them.”

Orca are an apex predator. Their population in New Zealand waters is estimated to be

DOC’s Waikato Operations Manager Niwha Jones. between 150 and 200 individuals. They are highly threatened (classified as Nationally Critical under the NZ Threat Classification System). Disturbance by vessels, including recreational boats, is a threat to orca due to noise pollution and boat strike.

If approached by orca, anyone in a vessel (including kayakers and paddleboarders) should stop and turn engines off and just enjoy the encounter until the animals are ready to move on – and don’t chase after them.

New Zealand’s marine mammal protection rules say vessels must stay 50m from orca.

The maximum number of vessels allowed within 300m of orca is three. Kayaks may

raft together as one vessel, otherwise they count as individual vessels too.

Anyone purposefully approaching them closer than 50m, or in a way that disturbs them, is breaking the law and could face an infringement or prosecution.

“We want marine mammals like orca to be able to go about their natural behaviours such as feeding, socialising, and resting, and improper interactions can severely disrupt this kind of behaviour,” Niwha says.

All seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales are protected under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978. It’s an offence to harass, disturb, injure or kill marine mammals.

Anyone charged with harassing, disturbing, injuring or killing a marine mammal faces a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment or a fine to a maximum of $250,000.

People who have seen harassment or disturbance of a marine mammal – including the two Waikato harbour incidents already reported to DOC – should call 0800 DOC HOT. Witnesses should provide a description of what they’ve seen, where and when it occurred, and the details of any vessels or vehicles.

In May 2024, a man was fined $600 after video emerged of him attempting to leap onto an orca in water off Auckland.

Whaingaroa Youth Shine at Waka Ama Nationals

M

ore than 30 Whaingaroa paddlers competed under the Te Toki Voyaging Trust at the Waka Ama National Sprint Championships at Lake Karāpiro in January, bringing home medals and showcasing their talent on the national stage.

Among the standout performances, the Taitamāhine U10 team, Karioi Kaha, won gold in the W12 250m, partnering with Te Toki Voyaging Trust’s W6 champions. Team members Ngaikea Bell, Georgia Falconer, Waipunarangi Elliot-Rooney, Kora WahangaBarber, Jeannine Ioaba, and steersperson/ coach Conan Herbert topped a competitive division of 17 teams.

In the Intermediate Girls category, Matawhā—Aliana Lucas, Hana Herbert,

Rereata Greensil, Manawa Hawkings, Te Reia Forbes, and Mahlie Clark—claimed bronze in the W12 500m, also racing alongside a Te Toki Voyaging Trust team.

The boys' squad, including two J16 and two Intermediate Boys teams, welcomed many new paddlers this season. As some of the youngest in their divisions, they trained hard over summer and showed strong potential for future competitions.

Looking ahead, the older paddlers are now focused on preparing for the Waka Ama Long Distance National Championships in Wellington this April.

John Vati and Maureen Wahanga win Bowling Club singles titles

Mike Kiely congratulates John Vati after winning the men’s singles final.

lot has happened at the Raglan Bowling Club since we last went to press.

On December 15th Raglan won the Northern Zone interclub trophy contested annually between Ngaruawahia, Taupiri, Huntly and Raglan. Raglan prevailed by a solitary point with last year's winner Taupiri runner up. Raglan's team comprised Jack Peel, Alan Price and Mike Kiely triples and Bev Mcdavitt Whyte, John Robertson and Sue Kingi and Robin Pipe in the two pairs combinations.

The following day 16/12 the club staged their Chartered Club Christmas Ham Opt 4's tournament with 26 teams filling both greens. The event was generously sponsored

by Kevin and Suzanne McGarvey of Raglan Kettle Korn, Touch Tunes Ltd and Raglan Excavations. The winning combination with 4 wins from Hamilton Workingmen’s Club was skipped by Steve Liddington with Tony Gray lead, Grant Stow two and Mort Jones three. Top local team, also

with 4 wins but less ends were Maws Wahanga skip, Genny McLeod lead, Juliet Roberts two and Bev McDavitt Whyte three.

Next event was the hugely successful New Years Eve Fun Day which attracted over 100 locals, campers and visitors from throughout New Zealand, England and Australia.

Heaps of family groups was the key to the success of this event.

The championship fours were contested on January 11 in both ladies and men's divisions with Sue Kingi's team of Sonya Moa, Sharyn Parkes and Suzanne McGarvey being superior on the day. Colin Bouzaid for the third year in a row skipped the men’s winning team this year made up of Les Schalger, Ross Turner and Peter Puschmann, whose skill and greater experience saw them take the title undefeated.

One of the most popular events on the calendar is the men’s and women’s singles. Maws Wahanga for the third

year in a row and sixth in total beat Bev McDavitt Whyte in this year's pulsating final with Wahanga's greater experience helping her prevail 21 to 19. She can now contest the Waikato champion of champions to try and win this title after being runner up the last two years.

The men’s singles was almost a fairy tale for the ultra talented John Vati after first picking up a bowl at twilight bowls in February 2024; less than a year later he is men’s single champion. Loads of natural ability and hours of practise helped him defeat Mike Kiely in their final which went to 23 ends before Vati was crowned the winner 21 to 17.

Twilight bowls started on Tuesday February 4th with a record 26 teams fronting up. This continues a surge in membership over the past season. If you want to have a go at the great game, call Alan Price on 021 456751 or simply come and join a club rollup at 1pm every Wednesday and Saturday.

major community effort is underway to tackle invasive privet in Whaingaroa, with volunteers invited to join the Great Whaingaroa Privet BustUp on Saturday, 22 February. The event runs from 10am to 12pm, followed by a BBQ at Papahua by the boat ramp as a thank-you to those taking part.

Privet is a highly invasive pest plant that spreads rapidly and can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. To combat its spread, volunteers will work across three sites: • Between Greenslade Road and Lorenzen Bay • Robert Street in town The focus will be on three key methods: • Drilling and filling large trees (volunteers are encouraged to bring a drill and a 10–14mm wood bit).

• Cutting and pasting smaller trees (a pruning saw is recommended).

•

Hand-pulling seedlings where possible.Herbicide will be used as part of the control efforts.

Volunteers should wear long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy footwear, and bring gloves, a drill, or a saw if they have one. Some tools will be available on-site, and any offers to lend extra equipment are welcomed.

The event is set to receive a major boost, with over 100 volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joining the effort. Organisers hope locals will also roll up their sleeves to help.

A safety briefing and instructions will take place at 10am sharp at each site, before volunteers break into smaller groups led by experienced guides.

With a strong turnout, organisers hope this will make a real impact on controlling privet in Whaingaroa.

For planning purposes and directions, participants are asked to email whaingaroaweedbusters@gmail.com if they are attending or have tools to lend.

When: Saturday 22nd February 10am-12 followed by a BBQ (supplied) at Papahua by the boat ramp. *Bring your own gloves, drill and saw if you have one.

Some tools will be available. (Any offers to lend gratefully accepted.)
