Hows it all going?

We are actually just starting out our third summer now. It’s amazing how much support the Raglan community has shown, so we’d like thank everyone for that. We love teaching and sharing something we are passionate about with our students. And we’ve had phenomenal feedback as well - we’ve become the top-rated surf school in New Zealand. It’s nice to know that our students are having such a positive experience.

Who’s involved with the instructing?

There’s three of us that started and run green wave together. Zennor Wernham, Ryan Bellerby and Bing Lyons. Between the three of us we have over 30 years coaching experience.

know it, they’re already up and riding a wave. With free photos to prove it!

People say how difficult it is to surf but what do you say to those who have never surfed and want to give it a go? Will they get up?

Our lesson schedule is based upon putting our students in the water during the best tides and conditions. This ensures that we surf at the safest time of the day and also during the easiest tide for beginners to learn. This makes a huge difference in the quality of a lesson. You can check the summer schedule on our

Everyone stands up on our lessons. We actually offer a stand-up guarantee or your money back, and so far we have a 100% success rate. We don’t really put any pressure on our students. Sometimes they might feel a little nervous before we start, but we keep everything fun and relaxed. Before they

urfers to Ngaranui Beach, Manu Bay and Whale Bay will soon be seeing new ‘Surfers Code’ signs near the

water.

Thanks to local funding by the Raglan Point Boardriders and a grant from Waikato District Council, the new signs will be up just in time for summer.

With the water getting busier and busier, knowing the rules and practicing safety in the water is crucial here on the West Coast.

The main theme of the Surfers Code in Raglan: Respect the environment, the ocean and most importantly, each other.

8 | Raglan Summer Holiday Guide

The infamous waves at Manu Bay attract surfers from around the world. But before you jump in the water just to say “I’ve surfed Manu Bay in Raglan”, take time to think if you really should be surfing there.

1. Point Break Ability: Intermediate to Expert - No Beginners 2. Paddling Out: Paddle wide of the Wave. If caught inside, stay in the white water.

3. Keep the Wave Face Clear: Keep out of the way of approaching surfer.

4. Give Way: Closest to peak has right of way. Wait your turn. Join at the end of the queue.

5. Remember to Communicate: Call It! Paddle with commitment and intent.

6. Control Your Equipment: Hold onto your equipment, it can be a danger to others.

7. Give Respect to Gain Respect: Don’t drop in! No snaking, blocking, fading or burning.

8. Respect the ocean, land and local community.

IN ANY EMERGENCY, DIAL 111.

It’s all delicious and made more so by the epic location and friendly staff.

nly a stone’s throw away from the heart of the village stands the famous limestone coast, a unique landscape well worth the exploration.

What used to be Raglan’s best kept secret is now making headlines, attracting travellers from all over the country and world. We caught up with Raglan Kayak & Paddleboard owners Candide & Stephen Reid to find out about the best way to get out on the water and discover the impressive coast for ourselves..

Q: Tell us, what’s so special about Raglan harbour’s limestone coast: The unique pancake rock formations are approximately 30 million year old. It’s actually an ancient seabed, which has risen out of the

ocean. Rain fall, tides and other environmental factors carved the rocks into very intricate and mystical shapes. It’s Mother Nature’s art piece!

Q: What’s the best way to get there?

If you are after a close encounter, then kayaking or paddleboarding is the best ways to get up close and personal with the coast.

Around high tide, you can paddle right into the many nooks and crannies, it is truly unique!

Q: Do we need experience to paddle to the pancake rocks?

Not at all, we have many different options available to get you there, making it accessible to everyone. We offer rentals, tours and lesson, so depending on your abilities, we can

advise and direct you into your most enjoyable option.

Q: Is this a family friendly activity?

It’s easy, if you’re the spontaneous type, you can find our team operating at Bow Street Jetty waterfront, ready to get you out on the

water.

Q: How would you describe the perfect day out:

best paddling time and most suited option.

I’ld pack a light picnic and a beach bag and plan for a 2 hour or half day outing. It’s nice to slow it down and take the time to explore.

You can find a deserted beach to soak up the sunshine, swim and enjoy quality time with family and friends. That’s what memories are made of!

Q: How do we go about planning a trip?

For the ultimate experience, we suggest people to call us in advance to discuss their We’re open daily from 9am to 5pm, on-call all summer!

DR AWING FROM THE COA ST E M B R A C I N G R A G L A N ’ S C R E AT I V E C O M M U N I T Y

I

t has been a busy year for Raglan-based artist Hilary Campbell, who has had her artwork selling quicker than it can be created!

I am lucky enough to be able to work from home, spreading my time between working on design projects and producing artwork. Painting has become my main focus, with most of my pieces being large landscapes, as well as a few abstract pieces this summer.

Raglan is such a welcoming creative hub - it’s nice to have so many amazing local creatives to connect with. And how easy is it to be inspired by the land and seascapes around us! A stormy day can bring a completely different mood to the bright, soft or misty and muted colourings we also get to see.

“Art was something I always had a passion for, and though I was encouraged by family and teachers to express myself through art, I was never given a hard push into developing it as a career.”

I had an interest in art from a very young age, though did not pursue it fully until I began working as a graphic designer. This helped me to have a creative outlet and I incorporated as much illustration work and custom lettering as I could, which lead me to start drawing and painting pieces commissioned to me by friends and family.

As a way for our artwork to go a little further, my husband, photographer Jasper Boer, and I recently launched Art Prints - a website where we showcase our work online and sell framed or unframed prints throughout New Zealand and overseas.

Keep an eye out for Hilary’s original pieces at Kanuka in Volcom Lane, Raglan. Prints are also available online at artprints.co.nz.

here’s something mysterious and alluring about indigo. Not quite blue, navy or purple, sometimes it’s the colour of the sky and sea on a certain day, and probably the colour of your favourite pair of jeans.

One of the first natural dyes to be used by humans, indigo is derived from a plant and its’ hues seem to have their own varied spectrum of faces and moods. Visiting Jean Carbon’s textile dyeing studio on her property, which overlooks an expansive 180-degree beach view, she pulls out a couple of indigo pieces from her rack of hand-dyed, mainly silk garments.

At first it’s hard to identify what the fabric is. The balmacaan coat that she takes off the rack has an almost reddish glossy shine to it. Jean confirms that it is indeed indigo.

Passionate about travel, Jean is particularly interested in the ancient techniques behind textile dyeing that create some of the unique fabrics found around the world..

She visited the Ghuizou province in China a few years ago to see how some of the rural villages created their indigo fabrics and this is where she bought the fabric used to create the coat.

“They beat the indigo and it turns into this stiff, shiny fabric.” Jean explains.

“I asked some of the ladies how they make the fabric and they told me egg whites and herbs. Although I suspect they use something else like ox blood as well.”

The ladies of Ghuizou grow the plant, harvest it and make the dye for the fabric which must be weaved, wrung and pounded before it can be turned into a garment to be worn. In this day of fast fashion, it’s a laborious process that can take months to complete. A process that could never be mass produced.

The manufacturing process for Jean’s garments can also take some time and includes many steps to complete.

From preparing the fabric and dyes and creating the patterns and prints to the process of dyeing and sewing her garments, everything is done by hand.

“I try to create designs that can’t be mass produced so there’s something unique that can’t be copied.” She says.

There is also a serendipitous nature to textile dyeing where you never quite know what the end result will be.

One of her wraparound skirts was originally meant to have a dark, almost

black, print but ended up with streaks of orange as well. A pleasant surprise.

Instead of a placement at the end of her fashion degree, Jean chose to complete a research paper on ancient textile dyeing techniques, following her passion for learning about the history behind the techniques she learnt.

When she set out to start her business she chose to work with silk because the fabric takes the dye colour well due to the proteins in silk being very absorbent.

During the studio visit Jean was preparing to dye one of her best selling items, a silk scarf dyed with hues of blues and greens, a popular colour style she’s named Bay of Islands to tie in with the turquoise sea colour of the east coast.

The silk scarf is folded and wrapped, dyed and steamed to create the signature colour and texture of the scarf.

“My mentor when I started out used to say that I don’t understand the personality of the dyes. He told me that turquoise is the stroppiest colour.” She laughs.

Stocking a number of galleries as well as doing custom pieces, exhibitions and textile dyeing workshops, Jean also organises the Raglan wearable arts show, Art to Wear, which has been held every two years since 2006.

During last year’s Raglan Arts Weekend, Jean created a series of five-metre long, hand-dyed silk banners with colourful patterns made using techniques like shibori, folding and clamping.

Unfortunately she won’t be part of the Raglan Arts Weekend in 2019 but she will be opening up her studio for appointment visits over the summer months.

To visit Jean’s silk-dye studio, contact her to make an appointment. Text or call 027 204 6820 or visit her website: www.cbon. co.nz

ATA M IR A & THE COR NERSTOR E S A RT O R I A L O P T I O N S F O R E V E R Y O N E

O

n the corner of Wainui Road and Bankart Street is a boutiqe shop housing some of the best designer labels from New Zealand and around the world. Whether it’s fashion, books or lifestyle, check out Atamira and the Cornerstore for a holiday treat. We spoke to owner Nadine Meddings, owner of Atamira and the Corenerstore about her beaitoful shop.

What’s been happening at Atamira over the last 12 months?

We have been experimenting more to try and find our place within a changing global retail landscape and Raglan landscape. I am continually reflecting and changing our collection. Some things work and some things don’t. We now have a small yoga / active wear range and baby/ toddler collection as well as our Mens and Women’s. The next year I know we will transform a little bit more, circling back

to how we started off if anyone remembers 11 years ago. We have recently designed a new main table and will pare things back a little instore.

Less is more, will be a theme we will try to embrace in 2019.

Every visit I am taken with the introduction of more beautiful things. How do to choose your products and how do you source them?

Sometimes through travel, by reading magazines, social media etc. I’m a great hunter and gatherer with a design bent. I love to feel inspired by natural beauty and authenticity.

Beautiful feeling natural fabrics, textures, prints and colour, as well as the experiences and stories behind them. Sustainability and wellbeing principles are important when choosing brands too. Quality over quantity and timeless style in a unique way. I’m trying to find brands that are classics and timeless, that you can wear more ways than one and

will have for years and years in your wardrobe.

It is getting a lot more difficult to be unique these days as everyone seems to have the same and the market feels really flooded on a global scale.... and fast. People are global shoppers these days too through social media but nothing can beat the realness of an actual experience instore - being able to feel the fabric, discover, experience human connection. Slowing down to take time out this way is what Atamira is about.

What can we expect to find in store this summer?

Great summer footwear - Salt Water Sandals are a new timeless addition, lots of stylish hats, linen is still strong and dresses.

Our Mens store has so many great shirts and shorts for summer from work wear to beach.

Embracing more feminine dresses that are so easy to wear in summer, and also a huge denim collection!

Who do you cater for?

‘Something for everyone’ a phrase we have been proud to align with since opening.

Women, men, families, youth, all age groups, all ethnicity, socio-economic …I guess the difference may be that we have been more thoughtful in our product collection so it is appreciated by thoughtful customers and those that appreciate ideas and design. From our hand curated books, to our gift cards, our aryuvedic perfumes, yoga mats, our clothing or shoes. I guess that’s a strength of Raglan retail in general as perhaps there is a lot more conscious thought than in other places.

Are you online?

We are! Our online store has a growing presence and reflects our best pieces in a more personally curated way, fresh and eclectic like instore - check us out from home!

You can follow us on instagram too @atamira and people often shop directly from there too.

WEST COA ST HE A LTH CLINIC SEASONS GREETING FOR A SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS F R O M T H E T E A M A T W E S T C O A S T H E A LT H C L I N I C

IT TA K ES A TE A M TO HELP YOU C A R E FOR YOUR HE A LTH!

H

ere at West Coast Health Clinic we are known for our teamwork and this helps you get the health care

that is right for you and at a time that suits you.

With changes in doctors and nurses at the clinic this may mean that you do not see the same person every time that you come in but you will have a couple of doctors and nurses who are your key “go to” people and they are your own health care team.

Occasionally the same doctor may want to follow up with you more closely for a particular concern that you are working on, and if so they will tell you: if you are in any doubt, please ask.

there should be no concern that they will not know enough about your previous history.

Sometimes if a doctor leaves they will directly “pass you on” to your next key doctor and you will have the opportunity to be involved in that decision.

We have a group of people who are all highly qualified, confident doctors and nurses, and they are all here to help you.

So give the new faces here a chance if you don't feel the desperate need to see the “same old face” this time round.

It can sometimes even be really helpful to get a different perspective on your health concerns. The way we work together

All doctors and nurses have access to

can mean that you get more of a combined

your whole electronic records, including

approach to help you; two brains are usually

your results, when they see you and so

better than one!

In April 2019, I will become a permanent GP at the clinic when I take over from Dr Ilias. I’m originally from Rarotonga and my special interest is

WEST COA ST HE A LTH CLINIC SEASONS GREETING FOR A SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS F R O M T H E T E A M A T W E S T C O A S T H E A LT H C L I N I C

Carol Millar: I’ve been working at the Clinic for 5 ½ yrs now, initially as a Receptionist then moving into the role of Medical Centre Assistant 2 years ago. This newly created role within the practice was designed to provide primary care nursing support for both the Doctors and Nursing staff and to better meet the needs of our Patients. I am also a St John Ambulance Officer and have been for 16 years. Being able to assist our Community in times of medical or accidental emergencies is an extremely challenging, gratifying, yet rewarding role.

Michael Becker: I am a GP who has worked in the allergy arena for years at Medlab and in Australia, and have a special interest in food related allergies.

I joined the West Coast Health Team in 2015 and work every Tuesday & Wednesday. I have lived in Otonga Valley for over 20 years and I’m enjoying working within the eclectic Raglan community.

I spend a lot of my free time in the bush on my property, rehabilitating the forest and controlling pest species.

Kia ora, we are a married GP couple who moved to Raglan two years ago with our then 3 year old daughter. We now also have a one year old son. We are really enjoying raising our young family in this beautiful, dynamic coastal town.We continue to love working at West Coast Health Clinic and with the Raglan community.

Hamish Seton: I’ve been with the West Coast Health team for the past two years. The time has flown by with getting to know the place and the people and also with an addition to our family last year. I’m really enjoying living and working in the Raglan community and all rural GP life has to offer. My areas of special interest are child health and skin cancer medicine.

Madeleine Wells: I spent my early childhood years both in Auckland and at Orere Point, a small town on the Firth of Thames. I am currently in the process of completing my Fellowship after recently returning from a year of maternity leave. Both Hamish and I have completed a post-graduate diploma in paediatrics, and children’s health is an area of medicine that I also really enjoy. I spend most of my time with our two children, but when I get a moment I like to walk our dog, practice yoga, go for bike-rides, play tennis and garden.

Mike Loten: I’ve been working at West Coast health Clinic since moving to Raglan with my family in 2007. I love the varirty of work that general practice offers and I specialise in skin assessments, minor surgery, travel medicine and sports medicine. My sabbatical to Canada for a year in 2016 was a good experience for our family and reinforced how special Raglan is, we are all glad to be home!

Dr Matt Wilson: I’m Matt, a former Aucklander who moved south to Hamilton with my fiancé in search of a rugby team who knows how to win. Having spent the last four years at Waikato Hospital I’m now excited to start my General Practice training in Raglan. I enjoy all areas of medicine but am particularly passionate about palliative care and care of our older population

Sharon Mullany: I am recently new to West Coast Health after being at Waikato Hospital for many years. In my down time I enjoy the outdoors and love the activities that this community has to offer. Being part of this very special community is a privilege and I look forward to welcoming you as patient when attending West Coast Health.

Lynny Stevenson: My name is Lynny Stevenson and I am one of the four receptionists at the clinic.

I moved to Raglan in 1991 and raised four lovely children in this gorgeous slice of paradise and have been working at West Coast Health since 2003.

Kristi Daniel: I started my nursing career in Hood River Oregon, USA working in operating theatre and then moved to the Waikato about 12 years ago. I worked in the Waikato Hospital Intensive Care Unit before making the move to work in Raglan. I joined the West Coast Health clinic team over 4 years ago where I now specialize in Diabetes and Chronic disease management. My family and I enjoy being a part of this amazing community.

You know how sometimes you feel like you’re ‘in the groove’ and life seems to flow effortlessly? Synchronicities occur — some of which are so wild and awesome they blow your mind. You’d like to experience more of those serendipitous moments, but you’re not quite sure how or why they occur or whether you can create them intentionally.

Maybe it’s synchronicity you’re reading this at the moment. I have many years experience in guiding people to discover their life’s purpose; to consciously create a fulfilling, soulful life. If you’ll let me, I can guide you too.

his summer the Union and Activate Churches in Raglan are joining forces to offer hope by revealing Gods love to people at the end of their tether.

Starting in December and going through to the end of February the churches will be combining for Sunday services at Raglan Union Church, and running a chat lawn on the property at specific times over the summer.

They are inviting people who are at the end of their tether, who have tried everything and just feel stuck, to come and talk confidentially about their real life issues.

Activate Church Pastor, Andrew Roughton, says, “Sometimes the first step to getting your life back on track is to open up to someone, to break the silence. Talking to someone is often the best way to gain fresh perspective and see new possibilities. Our goal is to offer people hope, to be a light in their darkness.”

Andrew goes on to say that their mission is, “Wherever, whenever... be like Jesus,” and he explains that Jesus was the most loving, gentle and kind person who ever lived. “Jesus was always including the hurting, the marginalised

and invisible people in the community - much to the disgust of the religious people around him,” he says. “We don’t want to get all religious on people and beat them up. We want to love them like Jesus would. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you’ve done, or where you’ve been, Jesus loves you - completely and unconditionally.”

The two churches are having a special Christmas service at 7pm on Christmas Eve, 9.00am on Christmas Day, and will meet at 10am every Sunday. All services over summer will be at the Raglan Union Church, at 3 Stewart St.

“Come and have a chat,” Andrew says, “or look us up on: end of your tether .com”.

The vibe amongst those who have secured their piece of paradise on Rangitahi is infectious.

This is a project that will define and protect the future growth of our humble coastal lifestyle.

The Rangitahi community looks set to be a diverse and vibrant one, with people from various walks of life set to call the peninsula home.

It is set to be a perfect model for sustainable development, enhancing the surrounding ecological values, with great respect for the natural estuarine environment.

Get ready for a vibrant new energy and plenty of opportunities!

Keep up-to-date with the progress via our various social channels online, or take a paddle around the peninsula this summer.

Yip, we are all about outdoor action here in Raglan, and you could easily do it with the whole family.

Not only does Raglan’s coastal setting lure you into a surfer’s dream mecca, but the beautiful harbour inlet provides such a sense of tranquillity that you feel like you could be venturing into an untouched paradise…which you pretty much are.

As you know, the Rangitahi Peninsula is surrounded by these peaceful waters, with only moments from the hub, you can have your coffee and cake and eat it too.

2019...

Forget the car, go and explore the rustic colours, the cool rock cranny’s surrounding this native New Zealand wonderland we call Rangitahi.

Take it all in, and dream up a storm.

The vision for this project is to create an extension of our colourful Raglan neighbourhood over to the Rangitahi Peninsula, a ‘waterway wonderland’ filled with natural reserve areas, walkways, and regenerative planting.

Get amongst this new sustainable urban community.

Come and see Sam and Sophie at the Rangitahi Shed on Bow Street.

These two have plenty of passion and plenty of understanding about this special place. When it comes to creating a blueprint of what a new, sustainable and fun community should look like, these two have the respect and vision needed to accomplish it.

Appointments to be made through our website: www.rangitahi.co.nz

The first stage of the Rangitahi Project is currently under construction, with the roads and urban landscape being built over the 2018/19 summer season.

he Raglan Chamber has been busy working behind the scenes of some of Raglan’s top community projects this year. Outside of providing events and networking opportunities for Members, the Chamber also represents Members and local business interests through advocacy work and community involvement.

After realising that local businesses were having trouble hiring new employees due to prospective applicants unable to find secure, long-term housing on this side of the divvy, the Chamber knew something had to be done. Discussions with the Raglan Community House Manager, Mike Rarere, helped to paint an even bigger picture of the housing issues facing local residents, and the severity of the housing crisis that has taken over the community.

These discussions led to the Whaingaroa Raglan Affordable Housing Project (WRAP) being launched in January of 2018 by The Raglan Community House. Raglan Chamber Board Members, Lisa Thomson and Charlie Young have been working diligently alongside members of the Community House, the Raglan Community Board and WRAP Project Manager, Fiona McNabb, to better understand the housing issues within the local community–with a goal of finding an affordable and sustainable solution that will work for Raglan.

The group spent this year exploring solutions and alternatives to housing, meeting with housing experts, and conducting a feasibility study within the Raglan area. This enabled a more accurate representation of what local residents think of the current housing situation.

WRAP hosted an Affordable Housing Forum in November featuring an array of presenters who shared their ideas of alternative housing, solutions to make your current home more affordable. Additionally, the WRAP team shared the results of the feasibility study. The work of WRAP will continue on in 2019.

In April, the Chamber launched the Whaingaroa Raglan Home-Based Business Group, created to bring together homebased business operators to meet one

another and work alongside each other.

The Chamber created co-Working Sessions, which are held fortnightly during the winter Months, May to September, around Raglan cafes. Raglan has become a mecca for home-based businesses and small startups, and the Chamber hopes to provide more meaningful support for these types of businesses in the new year.

The Chamber also plays an active role in encouraging waste minimisation, supporting the ongoing work of the Whaingaroa Environment Centre and Xtreme Zero Waste. Chamber Board Member, Bronwyn Lowe has been a part of the Steering Committee for Plastic Bag Free Raglan (PBFR) since its inception in 2016. Plastic Bag Free Raglan was initiated by the Whaingaroa Environment Centre, with support from the Chamber, the Raglan Community Board, Xtreme Zero Waste and Para Kore, with a goal of seeing single-use plastic bags removed from local shops by the winter of 2019.

The Chamber worked closely with the PBFR team to launch the Business Support & Accreditation Programme in 2017, which provided resources and knowledge to businesses owners to help them find solutions to plastic bags.

Plastic Bag Free Raglan received a positive response from both the businesses and residents, and as it stands, almost every business in the community is ‘plastic bag free’, and offers a viable alternative, be it compostable bags, paper bags, or encourages shoppers to bring their own.

Earlier this year, direction of PBFR was officially handed over to Xtreme Zero Waste who will drive ‘phase two’, which will encourage the community and visitors to ‘remember your reusables’, an initiative directed at tackling single-use waste. The Chamber is looking forward to supporting the evolution of this next step.

The Chamber is also thrilled to report that not only are plastic bags finally being phased out by the government come 2019, but Plastic Bag Free Raglan took home the Best Community Environmental Initiative

Award at this year’s Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards.

Not only did Plastic Bag Free Raglan take home a win at the Awards, but Raglan itself was awarded Most Beautiful Small Town.

Keep New Zealand Beautiful judges visited Raglan in September and took a tour of the community with Councillor Thomson.

They learned about Raglan’s waste minimisation initiatives at Xtreme Zero Waste, the Council’s ‘3 P’s’ loo campaign, the local dune plantings and community beach cleans being organised by the Whaingaroa Environment Centre, and saw first-hand the successful work of Plastic Bag Free Raglan.

Raglan was awarded Most Beautiful Small Town, but during their visit, the judges recognised Raglan’s unprecedented commitment and efforts to beautifying the community, as a result, Raglan was also awarded Supreme Winner for the evening and overall Awards.

Raglan Naturally is another community initiative the Chamber has been supporting this year, as the revitalisation of the original 2001 plan has been taking place over the past 18 months. The Chamber sees Raglan Naturally as a document that will help to communicate the goals and aspirations of the Raglan community to Council, local business owners, new residents, and those interested in relocating to our community.

The Chamber was also happy to see local businesses enter into the Waipa Business Awards held in August this year. The Awards are hosted by the Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Raglan Chambers each year and are a great opportunity for business owners to put their business plan down on paper, analyse the inner workings of their business and promote their business to the Waipa network. Raglan’s Palm Beach Motel was awarded Best New & Emerging Medium Business at this year’s Awards, while Raglan Rock won the Raglan Customer Choice and Raglan Best Customer Service Awards.

In the coming months, the Chamber will also be driving forward the Whaingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation, which will help to bring cohesive and clear management to Raglan as a destination, as it becomes more popular with visitors each year.

As the Chamber heads into 2019, their sights are set on a new path that will lead to new opportunities for Chamber Members to connect and learn. As of April 2019, the Chamber will take on a new moniker, operating as the Raglan Business Chamber.

Follow the Raglan Chamber on Facebook to find out more details as they are announced.

There will be new parking areas on Stewart Street and in the upgraded Joyce Petchell park area, work is well underway as part of the Council Tourism Infrastructure Funding from central government. Through this funding we’ll also be getting new toilets at Ngarunui Beach and on Cliff Street.

Speaking of toilets! Remember the ‘3 P’s’ only down the loo: pee, poo, and paper. Help keep Raglan nice and clean for both visitors and residents.

A weekly affair that gets the whole heart of the village beating!

Live DJs, MCs, bands and music producers from all over the world are selected to perform and entice Raglan’s wide audience of music lovers. Something most agree, is a blessing to the town’s music culture.

Stephen Reid (aka Jamin-i), founder and host of the Sunday Sessions, is a passionate promoter that aims to keep the good vibe alive. “The Sessions is known especially for the contagious good vibe and quality acts. It’s a place for the community and people from all walks of life to get together, connect and let their hair down!

There’s something special about the vibe that builds up in the yard

To top up the experience, a delicious selection of Japanese fusion food is cooking outside in the yard, available all evening. Beer special, and bubbles on ice.. need I say more!

But beware, festivities go up a notch as the sun goes down, becoming R18 after 7pm..

We suggest you come early and secure your spot in the sun!

e caught up with local musicians Lenny and Muroki from Cloak Bay. Their sound alludes to a taste level well beyond their young years.

Read the interview below:

TO FIND OUT M OR E A BOUT THE LINEU P A ND OTHER

When did you first start playing together?

We started playing around two years ago with our mentor, the legendary Peter Skandera. Skandy was the person who came up with the idea of a collaboration and the first generation of the band, Raglan Hillbilly’s with our debut song ‘soggy pigeon.’

Where have you performed?

As cloak bay we just begun performing live with a bunch super cool and talented dudes, Jacob, Kelvin, Paulo and Tatava.

However we will hopefully be making a few appearances around Raglan.

So we heard you have released your first EP. Tell us about that process.

We started by just making some music that we enjoyed listening to at home. Some

FESTIVA L INFOR M ATION, VISIT: SOU NDSPL A SH.CO.NZ of our buddy’s thought we should put some of it out onto the web and it was then that our first EP digi town and the boogie boys was birthed. We’d describe our music as a mixture of jazz, Indi and blue wave influences.

How would you describe your music?

How did that style of music become your thing?

I guess the style is just a mix of all sorts of music we’re into so it came about

through just a shared enthusiasm in similar genres How do you work together? Is it a collaborative approach?

Sometimes one of us will write a full song, sometimes it will be kinda half and half, there’s not really any set approach to how we do it just yet.

So impressive that you are playing at Soundsplash! How does that feel?

We’re stoked to being playing at soundsplash 2019, being on a lineup

amongst some of our influences is super buzzy. If you’re planning to attend soundsplash, come give us a listen. Yours sincerely, Kenneth Tatunka.

What can we expect in 2019?

We think we will be releasing a new album and maybe some kind of music videos in the future How can we listen to your music?

If ya keen you can have a listen on, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud, CD baby and Google Play.
