An artistic slice of New Zealand culture is being served up in the town of Little River. From May 6, Little River Gallery will be exhibiting works by artists Robin Slow and Brian Flintoff. Titled ‘Whare Huruhuru Manu,’ the exhibition of Slow’s lyrical paintings show the cultural stories of Maori past and present with luscious depth using symbols and motifs in precious oxides. Flintoff’s delicately carved instruments in bone and native timbers add to breadth of the exhibition. There is a further dimension to the exhibition, music composed and played by Bob Bickerton, inspired by Robin’s paintings and using Brian’s instruments. CD’s and DVD’s featuring all three artists work are available. Little River Gallery is located in Little River on State Highway 75 between Christchurch and Akaroa. Visit www.littlerivergallery.com or call 03 325 1944.

Lincoln University is very pleased to be able to offer a running event in our local community. This is our second year running our LU Walk/Run, with the first year being very successful. We decided on this date as it is a good run up to the Christchurch half marathon. All our profits go to a charity of choice. In 2016 we donated our profits to the Rolleston St John. This year we have decided to donate the profits to a group of Lincoln University students who are heading to Malawi to help build pre-school for a group of local villages to use. If you walk or run please come on down to the University Recreation on Sunday May 21st. We also will have children’s running races on the day. You can use the link to pre-register or register on the day.
