KidsFest has kicked off with a number of exciting events across the Selwyn district providing fun for families during the school holidays. Children have enjoyed Rogaine Rampage at the Rolleston Reserve, the Selwyn District Libraries Explore: Write! class for budding writers, and the first of the Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s Winter Pool Fest events, which are ongoing daily from 1–3pm during this first week of the holidays. While many events require booking, Moviemania and Discomania do not, so make sure you add these to your holiday agenda. Discomania is on Thursday from 6–7.30pm at Lincoln Event Centre. Another session is on next Thursday at the same time at The Station (Leeston New Life Centre). Tickets at the door are $2 per child (caregivers free). ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ is the Moviemania screening this Sunday from 6–7.30pm at Lincoln Event Centre, while ‘A Bug’s Life’ will play at the Rolleston Community Centre next Friday from 6–7.30pm. Tickets are $2 per person for children and caregivers. KidsMarket this Friday is sure to be a crowd favourite. With all stalls fully booked, there will be plenty on offer to browse through. Get along to Lincoln Event Centre between 10am–12pm to grab a bargain and support these young entrepreneurs. KidsFest will run until Saturday 22 July. For more information see www.kidsfest.co.nz.
Dunsandel Community Centre Grand Opening The Dunsandel Community Committee is hosting a Grand Opening event celebrating the completion of the Dunsandel Community Centre on Friday 4 August, from 4pm. The event is open to all locals. A community celebration will follow the opening formalities, which will be carried out by the Hon Amy Adams, MP for Selwyn. The new facility replaces the original Dunsandel Community Hall, which was located in the township and demolished after being damaged beyond repair in the 2010/2011 earthquakes. The local community has fundraised $350,000, including generous contributions from Rata Foundation and The New Zealand Lottery Grants Board. The new Community Centre, located at 1456 Tramway Road, is a multi-purpose facility which will be used by sporting and community groups, businesses, and for events. To enquire about room hire, contact the Dunsandel Community Committee on 027 477 9754.

Say YES to emergency services Young people aged 16–19 can apply to join a Youth in Emergency Services (YES) camp happening from Monday 2–Friday 6 October at Glentui Meadows near Oxford. The camp is a combined initiative by the Waimakariri, Hurunui and Selwyn District Councils. Emergency services including Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), Red Cross, NZ Police, Coastguard, St John and New Zealand Land Search and Rescue will attend the camp. Camp participants will have the chance to find out more about their work, learn new skills through hands on activities, and meet new friends. Following the camp, participants will spend three months volunteering for a few hours per week with the emergency service of their choice. Applications for the camp close on 20 August – see www.hurunuiyouth.co.nz/yes-camp-2017 for more information. Selwyn is looking for 10 enthusiastic participants to join the camp. “Last year’s camp was great, I got to know everyone there, they became like a second family,” says Abi Smith of Lincoln. “I enjoyed taking part in the overnight camp and learnt about a lot of different things such as first aid and all the different emergency services and what they do.”
