Creativity is in the air
The Pegasus Bay PTA has teamed with members of the Waikuku Artists incorporated (WAI) to bring the arts to Pegasus with the inaugural Pegasus Bay Art Show on the 7th and 8th of October. With 60+ artists from Christchurch and North Canterbury exhibiting in a wide range of mediums, alongside guest artist Raymond Herber from Iron Ridge Quarry, you can be sure there will be something there to appeal to everyone. The aim of the Art Show is to raise funds to go towards a continuing arts program at the school, and to provide a new event for artists to exhibit in North Canterbury.
The Art Show is also a culmination of the collaboration between the school and artists from the WAI who have been providing art workshops on Wednesday afternoons at the school throughout term 3. Having the artists come in to share their talent, passion and skill has been incredibly valuable and inspiring for all of the children and staff at Pegasus Bay. From this each learning community has been inspired to create some collaborative artworks that will be proudly displayed at the Art Show. The opening night on the 7th of October is
a ticketed event. Tickets can be purchased from a number of outlets for $20 pp which gets you entry into the show, first drink, nibbles and music provided by local musician Charlie Williams. Well known Waikuku artist Quilliam Collister will be doing a live painting, which will be available to purchase via silent auction. Also on the night there will be a “Mystery Mini Masterpieces Auction”. These masterpieces have been created by some well known locals such as Sir Richard Hadlee, Jendy Harper, Wyatt Crockett, Ruud (The Bug Man) Kleinpaste, Jason Kerrison, David Ayers, Matt Doocey and a few others “Famous in Pegasus Bay” including principal Roger Hornblow. The mystery is the not knowing who created which masterpiece until after the auctions have closed. Saturday the 8th of October the show is open from 10-4pm and is just a gold coin donation on entry. During the hours of 10am-1pm More Fm will be onsite offering face-painting and other activities to occupy the children while mum and dad have a browse at the art. CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

AGM
Great turn out of people to hear Jenny Lake speak about the Ravenswood Development – there was a lot of interest from those present and questions mostly regarding transport around the new village and transport connections to Woodend Village, drainage, timelines and progress to date. For more information go to www. ravenswood.co.nz or pop into their sales office on Rangiora Woodend Road. New Members always welcome We had interest from some potential new committee members at the AGM and we welcome these folks as well as anyone else to come along to a meeting at any point during the year to learn more about us. We meet on the first Monday of the month from 7.30-9.30pm from February to November at the Woodend Community Centre. The next meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Monday 3rd October. Thank you’s Two committee members not restanding are Kirstyn Barnett and Pam Smith. Kirstyn used to be a local resident but now lives in Cust. Kirstyn had been on the Committee for a number of years giving many hours of her time towards projects such as the Woodend Art and Craft Expo, the Woodend Mural Project, the Woodend Market and is still involved with the Woodend Spring Flower show. Pam had been on the Committee for a couple of years in the role of treasurer, thank you Pam for your dedication towards this role. Page 6 THE WOODPECKER OCTOBER 2016
The Woodend School Fair – Sunday 11th September The WCA held the second Wacky Woodend bike obstacle course for children of all ages to have a go and test their skills. Best time on the skills course was achieved by 13 year old Brayden McKenzie. He had to work hard to beat Gary Sword’s time in the 50+ age group. We were blown away by Gary’s skills! Everyone who participated in the course went in the draw for a family pass to Ferrymead Heritage Park which went to 3 year old Harrison Knight. All participants were asked to make a donation and all funds received are going towards the Woodend shared cycle/ walkway track from Woodend town to Woodend beach. This is a Woodend Community Association project for the local community with support from the Council and Community Board. We have completed stage 1 and are half way through stage two of the project. We have recently applied to Rata Foundation and Lotteries Grant Funding, if financial support is received from either of these funders it will kick start the stage three part of the project. We are aiming to complete the first bend at Sandhills Road corner this spring once funding is received to cover the gabion basket retaining wall. We have received great support from the local community for this project so far (see the list of donors below) but we still need help so if you want to donate via the project Give a Little page go to www. givealittle.co.nz/org/woodendca If you can offer your time, skills or expertise we are keen for additional hands
on this project to make it come to fruition sooner. Thanks to all those listed below who are donated to the project to date: Barnett Family, $100, John Archer, $10, Anonymous, $50, S Robertson, $20, David Mansel, $50, Michael McIlhone, $50, David & Catherine Butt, $100, David Ayers, $50, McClaren Drainage, $100, Woodend Beach Holiday Park, $200, Vanessa Forsyth, $50, Anonymous, $50, Claire Wilson, $50, (Deceased) Pegasus Residents Group, $55 Rotary Club of Rangiora, $500

PRGI - WHAT’S HAPPENING?:
Wow, Its been a busy time for the Pegasus Residents’ Group lately! For me, as Secretary, I am delighted to be able to present our updated directory to the local communities. It is a team effort and comes after months of hard work. I can’t thank Rebecca Harris enough for her expertise and patience while assisting to put it all together. •
We’ve also had 2 student projects on the go and our thanks to those residents who took the time to complete our community survey. The results will be compiled by our team of students and presented to the PRGI. We will then use the information collected to assist us with future planning and projects.
•
All Pegasus households will have received a flyer with information about the community defibrillator. We hope you will read and keep this information handy and that you will never need it.
•
We have been liaising with the Corrections Dept to have a work party come and clear the track that runs along the western edge of Gladstone Park and hopefully this will be complete by the time you read this.

Woodend Combined Club For legal reasons we and over 200 other NZ Clubs have had to relinquish the Probus name.
Our September Mini-Speaker was a club member who spoke about her life. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1938 she has early memories of sirens and air-raid shelters. After the war she remembers the happier times including holidays at her Auntie and Uncle’s. At 15 her first job was in a carpet factory. Growing up she went dancing 4 nights a week, which she loved and where she met her future husband. Her ambition was to be a ship’s stewardess but had to be 18 to apply. Meanwhile her boyfriend decided to go to New Zealand and asked her to join him. She said no, because she still wanted to be a stewardess – but they kept writing to each other and became engaged by proxy on her 17th birthday. The following year she sailed for NZ on the Captain Cook with her wedding dress – but as a passenger, not a stewardess! They married in 1956 and she took a job at Feltex Carpets, which lasted 34 years with breaks to raise 2 daughters. After her first husband died she later remarried someone befriended through dancing, but after 12 years he too sadly passed. She considers that she has a really good life in NZ, having sung with the Scottish Singers, played golf and acted in a few stage shows. Although she didn’t become a stewardess, she has travelled widely and continues to do so. She recounted a very interesting tale about seeing her Kilgour tartan while on holiday in Norfolk Island! Our main speaker in September was Colin Mackay, Project Delivery Manager for the Southern Region of the NZ Transport Agency. Seven years ago the government announced the “Roads of National Significance” initiative and this produced about $1.4 billion for the roads, Page 12 THE WOODPECKER OCTOBER 2016
motorways and infrastructure around Christchurch. Colin’s talk to us covered the “Western Belfast Bypass” (WBB -under construction at the moment) and the “Northern Corridor” (construction to start soon). At a cost of about $113M, the WBB was started 18 months ago and is due for completion in January 2018. It essentially comprises a 4 lane motorway connecting Johns Road to the Northern Motorway south of the Waimakariri bridge. There was huge activity upfront but all the embankments have had to be loaded and left to settle (probably about a metre) so currently it might appear that there is not a lot happening. Colin played a video from a recent drone overfly which showed the extent to which the work has been completed “behind the scenes” (google: Western Belfast Bypass video). Colin then talked about the work to be undertaken on the “Northern Corridor” (NC). This is a $240M project commencing November 2016 which will provide 4 new lanes from the Northern Motorway to QE II Drive where it will couple onto a Christchurch City Council initiative to link to Cranford Street. Colin showed us the WBB and NC routes on some large maps which helped illustrate his very interesting talk. Our coach outing last month took 50 of us for a private visit to the Lady Isaac Heritage Village where we enjoyed looking over the beautifully restored buildings. This was followed by an excellent lunch at Caesar’s in Belfast. 16 of our members enjoyed coffee and goodies at our monthly coffee morning at the ”John Roy” in Rangiora.

17 new members join Woodend Bowling Club for the new season
The Woodend Bowling Club has been a hive of activity during the winter months. A new kitchen was installed and is a pleasure to work in. The team of club members who were involved did a fantastic job, and our thanks go to one and all for all your hard work. The club will benefit for many years.
The President ‘s woman’s fours were held on September 20th with 6 teams playing on a bitterly cold day. Joan McFarlane’s team of Mary O’Brien, Marie Cameron, and new bowler Peggy Hey were the winners narrowly beating Ngareta Orchards team by 2 ends.
Although under difficulties, not having an operating kitchen, Rae Miller & Helen Power provided scrumptious meals on Friday evenings with around 30 members attending the social hour. On the last night Rae cooked a fantastic mid winters dinner which 50 plus members enjoyed.
The club runs 2 open Triples tournaments monthly, the first was held on 22nd September, 16 teams took part, Craig Allan’s team from Kaiapoi club were the winners.
Our green keeping staff were also very busy, headed by Stuart Jenkins, and all their hard work has resulted in the green playing beautifully. Norm did a great job remaking all the rink numbers, no more tripping over markers, thanks Norm. Our season opened on Saturday September the 10th, although with having had so much rain the days prior, the green was unplayable, members had a social time followed by afternoon tea. We are delighted to welcome 17 new members all whom have slotted in so easily and are enjoying the game and friendship. On club days, Tuesdays and Saturdays, the green is a ringing with chatter and laughter. Championship games got under way on Saturday and will continue through out the season.

Go ahead for Rangiora-Woodend Cycleway Project The design phase for the Districts Urban Cycleways Projects can now begin in earnest following the confirmation that funding from the National Land Transport Fund has been approved for both the Rangiora to Woodend and the Rangiora to Kaiapoi Urban Cycleways projects. This means all funding sources, including the Waimakariri District Council and Urban Cycleway Programme share, are now confirmed. Both routes will be off-road and sealed. It is anticipated that riders of all ages and abilities will use the cycleways. Construction is scheduled to commence in late 2017. The Rangiora-Woodend cycleway will

follow Rangiora-Woodend Road between Devlin Avenue and Chinnerys Road. It will connect into on-road facilities along Kippenberger Av extending to East Belt. At Woodend, the path will connect into on-road facilities extending to School Road. The Rangiora to Kaiapoi route will begin at the Mafeking Footbridge near Smith Street in Kaiapoi and will follow the Kaiapoi River stop-bank before passing beneath the rail bridge. The path will follow Lineside Road on the western side of the rail bridge. The path will follow Lineside Road on the western side of the railway line and finish by connecting into existing on-road facilities in Southbrook. This route will enable people to ride between the Districts two largest centres.

The Basketball team came 4th, Netball came 24th, Rugby came 18th and Football came 25th. A huge well done to all who participated !! Last Thursday Kapa Haka performed at the North Canterbury Cultural Festival at Ohoka School Hall. This was a huge event with many other North Canterbury schools participating as well. They did incredibly and have done the school proud. SCIENCE ALIVE COMES TO WOODEND! A great finish to our term on space. We had so much fun with science alive and showed John and his team how much we had learnt.
Science Alive consisted of 2 sessions. The first one was in the Space dome where we got to see the stars and planets up close. We zoomed in on different planets and looked at different constellations. The second was a workshop with lots of different activities, reinforcing lots of things we had already learnt about plus learning lots more!
were recorded, but the main focus was displaying the IBS.
Thank you Science Alive! We hope you come back soon!

CHURCH NOTICES Anglican Parish of Woodend-Pegasus - St. Barnabas Church Vicar, Rev Gerard Jacobs Phone: 027 858 9595 A community of believers, serving the wider community in love.
As well as our normal Communion services this month, we also held a Taize service on 11 September, a time of music, quiet reflection and prayer. It was a beautiful, peaceful time, as Taize services always are. The two study groups we have been holding have gone very well. In fact, they have been so successful that they have evolved into a Home Group, still meeting on Wed nights. The Mainly Music people are currently taking a well-deserved break for the school holidays. They will return, fully refreshed, from 12 October, 10 am until midday on Wednesdays. They always miss the caregivers and children during the holidays and will be delighted to see you all again. And if you haven’t been before, or are thinking of coming back after a break, they would love to welcome you. We will be holding a Packing Party to prepare the boxes for Operation Christmas Child on 13 October, from 10 am with a shared lunch to follow. We have 70 boxes this year which we are intending to fill, so it will be a busy session! We gave our church and grounds a good tidy up this month; somehow the arrival of Spring has that effect on people doesn’t it. We also held a car boot sale on 24th September, which was very popular. It was great to see so many of you there, we hope you all found a good bargain.
We would love to welcome you at one of our services this month, if you are interested in coming along. In the meantime, enjoy the Spring – even if the weather isn’t always very Springlike!
