hanks to Jack Martin Senior of Te Mata, the Raglan Golf Club has its own special Anzac Cenotaph to commemorate Anzac Day. It is situated on the side of the 18th green amongst Pine Trees grown from seed of the Lone Pine tree which gave its name to LONE PINE RIDGE, famous in the Gallipoli Campaign.

This area was bravely fought over between New Zealand and Australian troops in 1915. Jack brought the seeds back to NZ, donated them to the RSA who then passed them on to the club.

The club then planted them out.

These tall pines now add a picturesque landscape as golfers play up the 18th fairway and remind us of the sacrifices men and women made for their country.

The World Rally Championship is coming to Raglan

World Rally Championship driver Sebastian Loeb enters Raglan back in 2010.

A

fter a decade long wait, the World Rally Championship is not only heading back to New Zealand, but the event has plans to hold a round of the race on the iconic Whaanga Coast stage in September.

Rally New Zealand, which will be part of the FIA World Rally Championship for the 32nd time, announced that the main event, to be held from 29 September to 2 October 2022, will be located on Auckland’s waterfront with its fan zone the REPCO Rally Village and service park utilising Silo Park and the bases on Wynyard Point in Wynyard Quarter.

Rally NZ are putting forward a proposal for the Raglan stage of the event to be centred around the Raglan township similar to the World Rally events that were held in town over a decade ago. With this being a grand international event with massive media exposure, Raglan will be live streamed worldwide.

Spokespeople from the WRC and Rally NZ expect, “Estimated visitors to Raglan streets on Friday 30 Sept of 3,000-4,000 pax,” with an, “average spend by those visitors of $30,” which could result in a $90,000 - $120,000 opportunity for Raglan.

A global television audience of over 80 million will watch on as the world’s best drivers navigate perhaps the most recognisable New Zealand rally stage among worldwide rally fans – Whaanga Coast.

The world’s best rally drivers will be returning to race on what many consider

the best rallying roads in the world. They are led by some emerging and exciting drivers who will face off against our best including Hayden Paddon and Emma Gilmour. Huge intrigue remains over whether French rally legends Sebastien Loeb and Sebastien Ogier, who have won 17 world championships between them and committed to a part-time schedule in 2022, will make the trip.

“The event has been five years in the making and there has been an extraordinary amount of hard work and discussions to bring the WRC back to New Zealand,” said Michael Goldstein, CEO of Rally New Zealand.

Perhaps the most recognisable New Zealand rally stage among worldwide rally fans, Whaanga Coast is often used in promotional videos and still photography.

The 29km-long stage has been run in both directions and features a combination of fast open farmland as well as tight, twisty and cambered coastal road just south of the Raglan township.

More often used running south to north, the stage starts with some beautiful, wide gravel road over farmland. After passing the iconic spectator junction, it then drops to the coast below, providing an element of danger, with big drops off to one side.

The stage finishes with a stretch of tight corners, on narrow roads through bush.

The length of the stage has proven to be a test for both driver and machinery – tyres especially.

It provided a stunning finish to the 2010 WRC Rally New Zealand when Jari-

for friendlyand professional for friendly proffesionaladvice advice email office@webbgould.co.nz

Matti Latvala was able to snatch victory from a four-way battle after a recovering Sebastien Loeb had problems, Petter Solberg cleaned out a power pole and Sebastien Ogier spun in the tight section only a handful of corners from home.

Back in 2020 local residents opposed an application by World Rally NZ to temporarily close a number of roads in the Raglan region for a partial day on 1 September for reconnaissance and a full day on 4 September for the live race.

Prior to this application, in February of 2020, due to growing concern at the possibility of another rally, 42 residents and ratepayers of Whaanga, Ruapuke and Te Tuhi Roads signed a letter addressed to the Mayor and Councillors of Waikato District Council objecting to the road closure with clear reasons for their objection stated as: The use of this road by the rally of New Zealand and other motor vehicle races causes disruption to business, significant damage to the road that takes months to repair, danger to stock, costs to residents in tyres, wheel alignments and other car repairs, damage to the environment, negative impact of helicopters and drones and significant safety concerns.

On Wednesday 27th April, 7pm at the Raglan Town Hall - The Sporting Director of Rally NZ held a presentation on a proposal to hold a round of the World Rally Championship scheduled to be run from Raglan and on the Whaanga Coast on Fri 30 Sept 2022. The presentation included an outline of the planned activities for that day in the Whaingaroa/Raglan Ward.

by Raglan Area School Head Student Sophie Higgins

ANZAC Speech Tena koutou katoa, I’d like to begin by highlighting that in these very uncertain times, I’m grateful that we as a community are able to gather here like this to commemorate probably one of the most significant days in our country's calendar. Recent commemorations have been somewhat interrupted in the past few years with the current pandemic, but now more than ever I believe we are feeling the importance of community spirit and community pride, which is why it is so great that we are able to come together like this as we are now.

Today on the 25th of April 2022, we mark the one-hundredand-sixth anniversary of the New Zealand and Australian Army Corps – the ANZACS – marching onto the shores of the Dardanelles Peninsula in Gallipoli, 1915. We are here today to commemorate the bravery, courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Gallipoli Campaign and to pay tribute to every New Zealand and Australian serviceman who has been involved in war within the history of our nations.

It is easy to forget sometimes, but we are some of the lucky ones. We are part of some of the lucky generations that have not had to feel the full and direct effects of war. Older generations will remember better than those who came after, but most of us have never had to grow up under threats of violence or foreign invasion. We have never had to understand how it feels to leave behind everything you know - your home, family, friends and loved ones - and be unsure of whether you will return. We don’t know firsthand how it feels to watch a father or brother - or sister or mother - leave and return home just not quite the same, and we’ve never had to feel the pain of watching them struggle to integrate back into a society that is harder to call their own.

No, we have not had to feel that pain because thanks to those brave souls who left our shores over a hundred years ago we have not needed to. What we feel instead is freedom.

A freedom that we may not have today, had the ANZACs not risked their lives in the name of freedom for our country. A freedom that is not bought but that is earned, at the price of the sacrifice of nations.

We also feel pride. A pride that binds us together by coming here today and paying respect to those who have gone before us. A pride we have in being New Zealanders and a pride we feel in being a part of our wonderful country, which the ANZACs have served to protect in our past. A pride that we continue to show by upholding the qualities of our nation as the ANZACs did and continue to do today.

Every year, hundreds of servicemen from all areas of our defence force are trained and deployed to serve in troubled locations overseas. Recently we have seen troops serving in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea and South Sudan, and as we speak we have over fifty defence force personnel in Germany helping with weapon delivery and logistics aid for the Ukrainian military. Even when the world feels like it’s stopped these past years the ANZACs have continued to proudly march on, because war does not stop even if we do.

Today is our chance to extend our thanks to the brave people who devote their time, lives and families for the good of others.

Today is a day to remember the history of our nation, a nation which might be vastly different from the one we see now, had we not felt the sacrifice of the 2779 servicemen who lost their lives this day one-hundred-and-six years ago. Today is a day to remember those soldiers and everyone who has come after with the pride and respect that their service commands.

Because we must remember them. For our children, our children's children and for all the families who have lost someone because of war. We must remember them for the future of our country, and the future of both of our nations. We must remember them, because the day we don’t is the day that every sacrifice and every life lost will be in vain.

They may be gone but they are not forgotten, because to live in the hearts we leave behind is to live forever. And so, we will remember them.

Lest we forget.

Thank you.

Nga Mihi.

ANZAC Speech Tena koutou katoa Ko Karioi te maunga Ko Whaingaroa te moana Ko te Kura a Rohe o Whaingaroa te Kura Ko Camenzind toku whanau Ko Jarvis toku ingoa Kia Ora, my name is Jarvis Camenzind and I am a deputy head student at Raglan Area School.

I feel very honoured to have the opportunity to address you all on this very special day, Anzac Day. A day to come together, to remember and to celebrate those who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for Australia and New Zealand.

107 years ago today on April the 25th, 1915 Australian and New Zealand troops landed on the peninsula of Gallipoli.

Over the next period of time, thousands of lives were lost. An estimated 8500 Australians and 2779 New Zealanders did not make it home. These troops were just normal people who had left behind their families, friends and people who they loved the most, to fight for this country.

To those who lost their lives and did not grow old, we remember you, we thank you and we honour you.

To those men and women who returned from serving their countries we thank you and we honour you also.

Aotearoa may have been very different if these brave people hadn’t made the sacrifices that they did. They gave their lives in hope of creating a better future for the generations to come and for that, we thank them.

We thank those before us who fought and died for our freedom.

I am very grateful to be living in the Aotearoa we know today. We live in a country filled with many wonderful things.

The oceans, the native bush, the mountains, waterfalls, rivers and beautiful sunsets, are a few of my favourite things about this country.

I also appreciate the tight knit communities that are present all over New Zealand.

I am so lucky to have grown up in our cool little community of Whaingaroa, Raglan.

I thank the ANZACS for this privilege and honour their bravery.

Today we honour the ANZACS. Lest we forget.

Thankyou All images thanks to Margaret Dillon.

Kiwi Boardrider Clubs face off to represent New Zealand on world stage

N

ew Zealand’s top boardrider clubs will battle it out early this May with the winning team earning the right to represent New Zealand on the world stage come January 2023.

The Hurley New Zealand Boardrider Club Championships takes place at Whangamata on the 7-8 May. A full field of twelve teams have confirmed their attendance at the two-day event with clubs from Northland through to Canterbury scheduled to participate.

Respective clubs face off against each other on an

individual basis as well as a tag team format with combined points going to the overall placings for the event. The final day of the Hurley New Zealand Club Championships will be streamed live on Sky Sport Next.

The event signals the end of a truncated season and will be the last opportunity for New Zealand’s top surfers to participate domestically before winter sets in.

The return of the inaugural event winners, the Point Boardriders of Raglan, could see some big names push for the win and a chance to represent New Zealand at the Usher Cup and nab a slice of the $3,000 prize money up for grabs.

If you think your dog has covid, it probably has kennel cough

Local surfer heading to El Salvador with New Zealand Junior Surfing Team

O

ver the last few months the clinic has noticed an increase of dogs coming in with a suspicious cough, resulting in the highly contagious respiratory disease, kennel cough (also known as canine infectious tracheobronchitis).

Kora Cooper is fundraising for his trip to the World Junior Surf Champs held at the end of May.

A

strong new team has been selected for the 2022 Surf City El Salvador ISA World Junior Surfing Championships back in March. Apart from Kora Cooper (Rag) who returns to the competition in the U18 Boys, Ava Henderson (Chch) and Natasha Gouldsbury (Tara) returning in the U18 girls the Junior Surfing Team sees the debut of nine of New Zealand’s best junior surfers.

Raglan Surfer Kora Cooper has been selected in the U18 Boys division alogside Finn Vette (Gis) and Kalani Louis (Tara).

This will be the first time the Junior Team has been away since 2019 and the first World Junior Championships since that year due to the ongoing global pandemic.

El Salvador is no stranger to top level competition, being the latest venue for the World Surfing Games/ Olympic qualifier where Paige Hareb placed 11th in 2021. It will again be the host for the 2023 Olympic Games qualifications.

Kora is currently fundraising for his trip to El Salvador. You can help him out by donating to his Givealittle page to support his surfing journey: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-kora-get-to-theisa-world-junior-surfing-1

Kennel cough is a viral disease which irritates the respiratory system causing: • A strong honking cough • Nasal discharge • Sneezing • Lethargy • Inappetence • Low fever • Pneumonia (in very severe cases) Kennel cough is highly transmissible as it is an airborne droplet disease. Dogs commonly contract kennel cough where large numbers of canines congregate, such as boarding/ daycare facilities, training groups and dog parks. Dogs can also pick up the disease through direct contact (nose touching), or from contaminated surfaces.

Treatment for kennel cough is mostly to isolate from other dogs and to let the disease run its course just like a human cold. The veterinarian may prescribe medication to alleviate the cough and prevent secondary infection. Most cases tend to clear up after 1-2 weeks rest.

Vaccinating against kennel cough is the best way to protect your dog from the disease. Even though it is not a core vaccine, it is highly advisable to vaccinate against kennel cough.

If your dog is experiencing a cough or you would like to get your dog vaccinated for kennel cough, ring the vet clinic on 07 825 8390 and book a consult.

As of April 19th in Aotearoa we have literally used up this years resources and are now borrowing from the future to live for the next 8 months.

When we speak of leaving our future generations something to live on the way we act does not follow through with that kōrero. The first Earth Overshoot Day was 30th December 1970 and they have been slowly getting closer to January ever since.

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. We maintain this deficit by liquidating stocks of ecological resources and accumulating waste, primarily carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This is a workshop for wāhine who would like to develop their building skills, run by experienced wāhine builders. While our tutors guide you through the construction of a timber frame and plywood ceiling you will learn some basics of job planning, woodworking, power and hand tool use.

Raglan Bowling Club update

Visitors and local players alike receiving instruction from organiser David Wilks from the Taranaki Motor Home Association.

O

n Tuesday 12 April Raglan Bowling Club hosted a visit from the Taranaki Motor Home Association. The day started with a 'spider'. All bowlers position themselves around the four sides of the green and deliver their bowl at the same time into a target in the middle.

The bowl that ends up closest to the target wins the prize!

This season we have welcomed many new to bowling bowlers and they have become really keen, really quickly. The club offers opportunities for coaching and just a nice space to be in socially while meeting new friends.

For those new to the district playing bowls is a way to get to know a lot of the Raglan locals who have been members of the club for many years. Roll Ups continue all year on Wednesday and most Saturdays starting at 1 pm.

Several businesses in the CBD reported revenues you would expect over the Christmas period; some have even reported their biggest week ever! And it wasn’t just Easter weekend, people have remained in Raglan for the school holidays and are continuing to spend their money here.

It was only just last week (a weekday) that people on the street (without a reservation) were being turned away and couldn’t find anywhere to eat.

It’s a positive sign after many struggled to keep their doors open through the pandemic and have pushed through with sheer perseverance, some accessing their life savings to keep their business afloat.

But, and it is a huge BUT… Businesses are now facing new challenges caused by Covid… staff. With the virus itself still running rife in the community, businesses are struggling with finding staff in order to keep their doors open, with so many falling with Covid and having to isolate for 7 days (sometimes longer).

As we have asked throughout the pandemic, and we ask again, please be kind and patient.

Your local waitress may be working their 4th double shift in a row, your local shop keeper may have just been called in to cover another shift and missing time with their family, or your local bookkeeper may have just returned to work and is now 2 weeks behind – so be kind Whaingaroa, we are close to the end!

In other news, the Chamber have been in discussions with the World Rally Championship (WRC). This isn’t to be confused with Rally New Zealand. The WRC last visited Raglan in 2012 (for those of us that remember, they set up camp on the aerodrome). Well, the time has come, and they are looking to

return to Raglan in September.

This is an amazing opportunity for our small town, with thousands of visitors expected to spend between $90,000 $120,000 within Raglan alone, not to mention the international exposure we are set to benefit from as the event is broadcasted across 150 countries, attracting 70 million viewers, all tuning and getting to see our beautiful town.

Understandably the monetary value of such an event is an opportunity not to be missed.

However, the opportunities extend beyond businesses, with the potential for local fundraising groups or local schools to set up stalls (perhaps a good ol’ fashioned sausage sizzle?) to generate income for their cause.

We are looking to host WRC at one of our breakfast events in the near future where they can talk directly to the business community about what the WRC can do for Raglan.

We also welcome Fiona Gates and Paul Irwin as the new owners of Raglan Harbour View Hotel. We are excited to have the Hotel as a member and will be looking to hold events there in the near future. In the meantime we encourage you to go and check out their new menu.

Coming up: • As many of you will be aware, we have had to cancel our BA5 on Wahine Moe for the 2nd time (due to weather). We hope to reschedule this soon.

• We are continuing our Employment Law sessions with Jamie Lomas (Partner at DTI Lawyers). For her recent webinar please see our previous newsletter for the link – there is some really useful stuff in there!

• We are looking to run another event based on the mental health impact on businesses from Covid, and how we can support ourselves and our staff getting back our feet.

As a reminder we welcome all of our members to come to our events, whether you are a oneman band or you have a staff of 20, like-minded people coming together can do great things for you as an individual and for your business.
