“There are not many events in the region that see over 110 exhibits in one venue.

One reason for the Expo’s continued success is the way we try and keep the Expo fresh for visitors, so year after year they can see new companies and new entertainment” This year there is lots on offer for the local “foodies”. Local Chef, Stuart Cliffin, from Relish Waterfront Dining will feature at this year’s Expo with cooking demonstrations held each day.

There are also a range of gourmet goods to tempt your taste buds, such as wine, truffles, confectionary, organic coffee, natural lemonade, vodka and much more.

Local brewery McCashin’s will feature on site with their variety of spirits, beer and cider. All their products are lovingly handcrafted from traditional recipes and they use only the finest natural ingredients, sourced mainly from Nelson.

Local wineries will also be represented at the Expo including Milcrest Estate, Crighton Estate and Golden Hills Estates.

One lucky Expo visitor could win a trip for two to beautiful Vanuatu with New Idea Magazine who will also feature at the Expo, handing out free copies of their latest issue while stocks last.

With over 110 exhibitors the Expo offers something for everyone or all ages. Bring your friends, mothers or daughters or simply enjoy a day to spoil yourself.

Report confirms church lied Teresa Hattan The decision to cut down an anicent oak tree because it was rotten has been releved as a lie.

An independent report commissioned by the Tasman District Council and passed to Waimea Weekly states the Holy Trinity Church oak tree was “healthy” and comments from the church stating the tree was rotten and therefore needed to be removed for safety reasons, were untrue.

The report, completed in January by United Group, was put together to provide an arboricultural assessment of the health and condition of the tree.

The report says the tree had good structural form and despite being close to overhead power lines, this was not considered a significant safety issue.

The writer of the report, Dominic Williams, believed the oak tree was a sound specimen and if managed correctly would have had a strong future. “From a broader amenity and historical perspective the tree is also an important and valuable asset, not only to the Holy Trinity Church site but to the wider district,” he wrote.

The report also stated that as communities develop and expand the value of historical assets are increasingly being recognised and factored into, rather than out of, development plans.

The Holy Trinity Church removed the 100 yearold oak tree in early March because of plans to build a community centre on the site. The report recommended the tree be left standing and unharmed, a call backed up by several local arborists. Waimea Weekly made several calls to the church to get comment, but they were not returned at the time of print.

Intermediate teachers told to get on their bikes Waimea Intermediate School have always done things a little differently.

For the past three or four years staff have been using bicycles to move around the large school grounds on Salisbury Rd. Principal Cleve Shearer says the idea was introduced when former deputy principal Bruce Dobbie returned to school after having surgery.

Bruce had trouble getting around school so one day he turned up with a bike.

When he retired the staff continued to use the bike, which Bruce donated to the school, so more were purchased.

Cleve says the staff find using bikes useful to get around the school grounds and teachers find it easier to interact with students when they are riding around on the two wheeled vehicles instead of walking. “If we’re walking they may or may not talk to us, but when we’re biking we always get a hello.”

Moving throughout the campus, which includes Henley School and Waimea College, is also easier now the school uses bikes.

“And if we’re worried about a certain area we can get there much faster and more efficiently now,” says Cleve.

Schools using bikes is a novelty idea and Cleve says he doesn’t know of any other school using this mode of transport. “We even have ladies bikes for the female BIKING AROUND: Waimea Intermediate students, from left, Brandon Hart, 12, Loteachers, not that they use them gan De Joux, 12, teacher Hannah Bibby, Alicia Wells, 12, and Brianna Taplin with one much.” of the bikes staff use to get around the school.

“It was an adult bike and I remember going down Clouston Terrace and going head over the handle bars. I remember it quite clearly because I hurt myself.”

“I learnt to ride when I was six but I fell off and broke my collar bone over the weekend actually.”

“My parents taught me on the farm but sadly it was on a hill.

I remember getting my first bike one Christmas and my dad teaching me.”

“I had to cycle to school. We lived in the country and I had to bike into town regardless of the weather. It was six miles each way and it wasn’t flat either.”

Crime rate drops in Tasman The number of burglaries and car thefts committed in Nelson last year has been slashed compared to 2009, helping police record an impressive 9.2 percent drop in overall crime.

There were 8764 crimes reported in Nelson Bays for the 2010 year and 53.5 percent of those were resolved. The national crime resolution rate was 47.5 percent.

Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Brian McGurk said the figures reflected the big drop in burglaries, down 12.9 percent, and theft of and from vehicles, down 20.5 percent.

The biggest increase in recorded offending was for sexual assault and related offences, which went up by 127.3 percent from 55 to 120 offences. The resolution rate for this

type of offending was also up, with 82.4 percent of crimes solved.

The rise is attributed to a greater number of victims now reporting, rather an increase in actual offences, which previously may have gone unreported.

While Nelson Bays performed favourably at national level, the entire Tasman Police District has come out at the top of the field.

Tasman Police District includes the West Coast, Nelson Bays and Marlborough.

Tasman had the top equal crime resolution rate in the country and was the third highest performing district for reducing recorded crime. The Tasman resolution rate remained stable, at about 57 percent, well above the national average, and the reported crime was reduced by about 8 percent.

Wooden beams made here for local business The first company in the Oaks Business Park in Richmond is taking shape, but it will look a little different than most.

The park, located off Lower Queen St, will be home to transporting company TNL Distribution next month.

But what makes this building different from most is the laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams it is made of. The 3000 square metre building has been constructed by local company Gibbons Construction and managing director Scott Gibbons says the wooden beams are supplied and manufactured by another local company, Nel-

son Pine Industries. The trees are also locally sourced. Scott says the advantages of working on this project is that it involves supporting local suppliers and contractors that are familiar with dealing with wooden based products. “Wood is a sustainable, natural, attractive product, with excellent properties of durability, acoustic performance and fire performance.”

Site manager Dennis Burman says LVL is not difficult to build with compared to steel.

“It’s advantages is in its strength, it can span a lot more distance then the standard piece of timber would, it’s super strong.”

Best apples stay local as costs to export soar Teresa Hattan This year’s apple harvest is going well but local growers are still concerned about their potential return, meaning more apples could stay local.

David Easton of Easton Apples in Appleby says this year’s harvest is an improvement on last season as they haven’t had the disease problems from 12 months ago. “I think the fruit quality is very good, it eats very well and the yields are good.”

Fruit sizing is smaller than last year but David says for some of the markets this is a good thing. “Different markets want different sized fruit and different qualities.”

David says this year’s problem, like the past several years, is New Zealand’s bad exchange rate.

“The minimum wage in New Zealand is higher than it is in the United States. Our labour costs in New Zealand are a lot higher than they are in France, Italy and the United States who are our main competitors and they’re significantly higher than Chile and South Africa. Right now New Zealand’s labour costs per unit of production is probably the highest in the world with apples.”

It is now the second half of the apple season which is the busiest time at the orchard according to David. “Most of our fruit are the later season varieties which tend to be

the longer storing varieties like Eve.” Around 35 percent of New Zealand’s total production of apples comes from the Nelson region. “We like to think it produces the highest quality of fruit. The terroir [the combination of climate, soil, variety and the process] here is really suited to great eating apples,” says David.

Apples play a large factor in the way the Nelson and Tasman district operates. For 12 months of the year employment is offered to locals and visitors alike. “You’ve got your peak time but over summer it’s a major employment for students with apple thinning,” says David.

David believes there aren’t a lot of Kiwis who are able to pick apples for 10 weeks, so generally there are RSE workers, which are people from the Pacific Islands, or backpackers working in the region. “The permanent staff are all Kiwis and a lot of the supplementary staff tend to be either from the Pacific Islands or on working holiday visas.”

David says economically the growers in the region are struggling, particularly over the last five years because of the exchange rate. “We’ve become uncompetitive in the world market. There is no wonder Americans are selling apples and making a whole lot of money into our traditional markets in Asia. They’re undercutting New Zea- APPLE MAN: David Easton of Eastons Apples in Appleby says he loves growing the land exporters and we can’t compete.” popular fruit and this year’s harvest is going quite well.

This Week

Museum set to opens doors to exhibition The exhibition detailing the incredible journey the region’s early settlers took from England to Nelson is in its final two weeks and Museum chief Peter Millward is determined that as many people as possible are going to see it.

Already more than 13,000 people have been through the Port Nelson Haven Ahoy! exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum but for the last two weeks entry will be free to those who take along the voucher printed in this newspaper. The coupon is for a family pass for the exhibition.

Peter says it is important that as many people in the region as possible can see the story of how the first Nelsonians arrived here. “It has been extremely popular exhibition and I’ve been thrilled with the response it’s got and the interest from so many people in the community.”

The exhibition is housed upstairs at the Museum’s Trafalgar St/Hardy St site. Peter says the exhibition has been one of the most successful the museum has run and more than 3000 school children have been through it. That is close to a third of all primary school children in the whole of Nelson and Tasman.

“As a learning tool it is very valuable, the education programme really tells the story in a fun and interactive way that children have loved,” he says.

The exhibition closes on April 17 so Peter is urging anyone who has not yet been through the exhibition to cut out the coupon (at the bottom of page 19) and get along to see it.

“This is the last chance and I urge people to come and have a look. Our region has a proud history and a fascinating one.”

For more information you can phone the museum on 548-9588.

Bridge players win Gold Coast congress

TOURNAMENT WINNERS: Steve Gray and Lindsay Guy, along with two Australians, were winners of Seres McMahon mixed bridge teams tournament last month. Photo: Teresa Hattan.

Steve Gray describes the game of bridge as the chess game of cards.

Steve and another Richmond local Lindsay Guy recently returned from the Gold Coast Congress as winners of the Seres McMahon mixed team event.

Lindsay and Steve, along with two Australians, were winners of this category at the largest bridge tournament in the Southern hemisphere.

The tournament saw 2000 players descend on the Gold Coast for a week of bridge playing and sight seeing.

Steve says bridge is similar to the game 500 and you certainly have to have your wits about you.

The pair have been playing the game for a number of years, with Steve learning when he was in school and Lindsay being taught by her husband.

Both Lindsay and Steve belong to the Nelson Bridge Club and were up against 65 other teams in the Seres McMahon event at the congress. The pair had not played with their team mates prior

to the competition but they say this didn’t affect them in any way. In fact, they believe it was quite a good thing.

There are two bridge clubs in the Nelson region, one in Richmond and the other in the city. Lindsay and Steve play at the Nelson club twice a week with around 300 other bridge players.

Steve is currently the chairman for the Top of the South region of New Zealand Bridge.

The pair have played at the tournament every year for the past eight years and say they always have a good time meeting new people.

“It’s kind of a holiday tournament because you don’t play in the mornings, you just play afternoons, where as if we go to our congress in Hamilton, which is a week long event and doesn’t have so many people, you play morning, afternoon and evening, because what else is there to do in Hamilton in the winter?” says Lindsay.

The pair say they were surprised to win the title and will hopefully make the trip again next year.

New medical centre nearly ready to open The Lower Queen St health centre looks set to open its doors in July and principals are excited about the prospect of providing a “one stop shop” for the community.

Most of the space available at the centre, located next door to Oakwoods Village in Richmond, has already been tenanted with many local health professionals excited

about relocating their offices to the new facility when it opens mid-year.

The centre will see a wide range of help available including a medical laboratory, a pharmacy, an optometrist, an audiologist, GPs, physiotherapists and several specialists.

Health professionals say the facility is looking great and it will be a real asset to the community.

Experiences boosted by international group Travelling the world wouldn’t have been as much fun for local Edith Royds if she hadn’t stumbled upon Friendship Force International.

The group, established in Nelson in the 1990s, has provided a fantastic amount of excitement and opportunities for the Hope resident.

Edith says she was travelling around Japan on her own when she came across someone trying establish the international group there.

“I liked the concept so much that I decided I would come home and start it in Nelson, but when I got home and made enquiries it had just started.”

Edith says she’s been involved ever since and has seen a large number of countries and has been fortunate enough to experience a wide variety of cultures.

“It is exciting when our new friends welcome us into their culture, their homes and their daily life.”

Friendship Force International is present in 55 countries world-wide, giving the 18,000 members opportunities to explore places that wouldn’t normally be available.

Those coming to New Zealand and Nelson would stay for one week and Edith says hosting is just as much as travelling. If interested, WORLD TRAVELLER: Hope’s Edith Royds has travelled the world thanks find more information on Friendship Force at to Friendship Force International.

Developments taking shape at Richmond Mall Exciting developments are taking place at the Richmond Mall this month.

Unichem Pharmacy is getting ready to move into its larger premises next door on Monday. The Bead Gallery will also be moving out on April 30, making room for a new entrance to the mall which is expected to be ready in December.

Manager David Hill says a fair bit of work will be done at the mall over the coming months, but it is all very exciting.

Acquisitions, a national giftware shop will soon be located in the mall after Marbecks relocates at the end of the month. The Acquisitions store in Richmond Mall will be the only one in the region.

David says the mall has received more inquiries and interest, from both national and international retailers, this year than the last two years combined.

“That’s really heartening. It shows that the mall is a great place to have a business.”

David has also fielded calls from Christchurch retailers affected by the earthquake who are looking at relocating to the Richmond Mall. “That has really taken off during March; we’ve had an enormous amount of interest.”

Despite talks of the economic downturn still in effect, David says some retailers in the mall are experiencing their best year ever.

Work has been staged and timetabled so the disruption to shoppers is kept at a minimum. “We’ve been reaching key milestones and will have regular updates with everyone,” says David.

David says the mall has also welcomed back an artist-in-residence, something that has proved popular in the past.

“They’re situated opposite the customer service desk and it’s our way of giving back to the community and showing support for local artists.”

The upcoming school holidays will also see the Nelson Giants in the Richmond Mall. “They’ll be shooting hoops in the food court area.”

Facts come to light in Washbourn story Dr Currie did not drown in the swimming pool Aniseed Valley but rather he died of cancer. Mr Disher did not ever buy the dwelling, it was sold

by Washbourn to the Currie family.

Initial stock in the Washbourn Begonia House was denoted very generously by past Tasman District Council employee Bob Williams and his wife Pam.The begonia stock that the Thorn family made available to the Washbourn Begonia House was by way of the Ian Thorn Memorial Begonia Trust. This trust approached people to

purchase a begonia at a dollar figure with the proceeds donated by the trust to the Nelson Region Hospice Trust. The begonias were then gifted to Begonia House and all those names are published on a board within Begonia House.

This effort raised several thousand dollars for the Hospice. Peter Robinson, also an ex employee of Tasman District Council, is a current member of the Thorn Trust and was very involved in transferring the Begonia Stock. Apologies to both the Currie and Williams families.

Updating your address important

Cadets show camaraderie to those in need Over the weekend 19 cadets and staff from the City of Christchurch Cadet Unit spent time with Nelson Cadet Unit at the Nelson Pistol Club range complex in Golden Downs.

The weekend was organised by the local cadet unit so those from Christchurch could get away for a bit and update their training. Cadets were taken

through map and compass work, firearms safety, competitive shoot and team building and leadership. Local business Westmeat kindly donated meat for the weekend and Tip Top gave bread.

It is expected the Christchurch unit will return the favour and have the Nelson cadets to stay once things settle down.

With the increasing number of properties in the Tasman District, especially in rural areas, it is becoming important to update your address. While the Council, in recent years, has numbered all properties in the district there are still a large number of addresses that only identify a road.

These addresses were captured by the then post office and they were then picked up by the White Pages.

With subdivision and more houses being built it can be difficult for emergency services, couriers and postal delivery staff, as well as family and friends, to locate a particular property.

In updating an address it will change from Joe Dirigible of Smith Road, RD 1, Takaka, who lives 1.46 kilometres from the start of the road, to Joe Dirigible, 146 Smith Road, RD 1, Takaka.

Simply contact your telephone provider and explain your new address and ask them to update the White Pages. Contact Lindsay Skinner at Tasman District Council on 543-8448 for more information.

NEW ROLL: The Nelson Cycle Trails Trust newly appointed executive officer Fiona Newey is getting things into gear with the launch of a logo competition. Fiona is wasting no time in raising the profile of the trust and what the region has to offer in cycle tourism. Fiona was previously involved with St John Ambulance, coordinating fundraising and project management for their Richmond building. Word is getting out about the logo competition and Fiona says the design should encapsulate Nelson’s stunning scenery, climate, historic railways, artisan rural communities, traditions of tobacco and hops, boutique breweries, vineyards, olive groves, festivals and port settlements. Entries must be received by post by 5pm on April 22. A facebook page has been set up with all the details and conditions of entry at www.facebook.com/pages/Nelson-TasmanCycle-Trails-Trust. The Nelson cycle trails are a joint initiative of the Nelson City Council, the Tasman District Council, the Nelson Cycle Trails Trust and the New Zealand Cycle Trail project.

Fair to fund the horses How do I protect Last year’s Autumn Fair was so popular organismyself from the ers have decided to hold the event again.

This Saturday will see the fair being held at SylCommon Cold? van, the farm Richmond Riding for the Disa-

bled is run from.

This is the second year the fair has been held, with free games for children and families, a traditional afternoon tea, pony rides and a row on the lake available.

The afternoon’s activities are a fundraiser for the Holy Trinity Church building fund and Riding for the Disabled.

As winter approaches the cost of horse feed and winter coats for the horses at Riding for the Disabled increases.

Funds raised on Saturday will help feed and keep the ponies ridden by members of the community warm this winter.

Funds will also go toward upgrading the underground water system which will refill water troughs in the paddocks.

The fair is at the Richmond Riding for the Disabled farm at 205 Champion Road, Richmond on Saturday from 1.30pm to 4pm.

Lottery grant money welcome boost for RWC in Nelson Nelson MP Nick Smith last week welcomed the nearly $150,000 from the NZ 2011 Festival Lottery Fund towards events in Nelson for this year’s Rugby World Cup. With Nelson the birthplace of rugby in New Zealand, the first game was played here in 1879, Nick says he is pleased $10,000 worth of funding will go towards a re-enactment of that event, followed by a procession to Trafalgar Park ahead of the

Australia-Russia match on October 1.

“The Piki Mai digital installation on to Nelson’s Cathedral will be something to witness as it will also tell Nelson’s history and the First Fifteen Wine Competition will be a fun event showcasing Nelson’s wine alongside that of Italy and the United States.

This $150,000 is part of $9.5 million in Lottery grants set aside for the Rugby

World Cup. “Nelson has shown it is full of creative, innovative people bursting with fresh ideas that link our proud past with our present.

“We know that the Rugby World Cup is more than just the matches and we want locals and visitors to have an unforgettable experience. This funding will help make Rugby World Cup a successful and memorable event for Nelson,” says Nick.

The common cold is not the same as the flu The common cold is contagious and is difficult to avoid Act early to boost your body’s resistance to viral infections.

Volunteer firefighters – they’re everyday people - the mechanic who fixes your car, the shopkeeper who sells you your milk - but when the siren sounds they don a different hat, ready to offer assistance to those in need. With 8000 unpaid men and women presently on call from North Cape to Bluff, volunteers really are the backbone of the NZ Fire Service (NZFS). Tim Bennion, Assistant Area Manager for NZFS in Tasman Marlborough, says that means more than 80% of fire service p e r sonnel

are willing to drop everything else as required in order to help protect the lives and property of families, friends, neighbours and total strangers alike. Financial or material reward isn’t a factor, so these selfless folk really are among the ranks of true Kiwi heroes. “We’re massively dependent on volunteers,” says Tim. NZ Fire Service statistics show in a normal year volunteers attend 36,000 incidents, including fires, hazardous emergencies, medical assists and rescuing trapped people. Though they’re unpaid servants, volunteers carry out their work in a thoroughly professional manner. “Regardless of whether they

are employed or volunteer staff, they consistently provide the standard of work that is required by the New Zealand Fire Service,” says Tim. While we acknowledge the many hours that volunteers devote to their communities, it’s also important to acknowledge their employers who allow them time off to respond to incidents.

Having employees absent from work can be both inconvenient and costly. Employing volunteer firefighters can, however, be a win/win situation. Not only do the fire service get the valuable use of a precious resource but employers get the benefit from the specialist training that volunteers go through. Firefighters are trained to keep a cool head in difficult situations and their training develops first aid knowledge, leadership and management skills that can be useful in any work place.

We have a number of volunteer fire brigades (Richmond, Wakefield, Tapawera and Murchison) and volunteer rural fire forces (Brightwater, Appleby, St Arnaud) in our region, all manned by highly trained and dedicated members of our communities. A number of local firefighters had the opportunity to attend a training exercise at a controlled house burn in Brightwater last year. Properties designated for removal or demolition are occasionally offered to the fire service, providing realistic training that incorporates phenomena experienced at incidents in a relatively more controlled environment.

Brigades from around the region all agree that the past twelve months have been pretty much business as usual. One thing that all firefighters will agree on is that people need to take respon-

sibility and care for ensuring the safety of themselves and others.

So how can the general public help keep callouts to a minimum? NZFS takes a four-step approach: education, prevention, detection and action.

S m o k e alarms have and always will be a leading lifesaving tool, providing they are kept charged and placed in strategic areas of the home.

“Smoke alarms are only activated when they detect something out of the ordinary and we applaud people who install these systems.”

The ‘Keep looking while you’re cooking’ and ‘Don’t drink and fry’ campaigns as seen on TV are not exaggerated. Far too many fires start this way with people putting a pan full of oil on a hot stove and then getting distracted. “It’s absolutely unbelievable how fast and fierce a fat fire is,” warns Tim. Residents are urged to follow the metre heater rule when drying clothes. Keep flammable articles at least a metre from heat sources and not in a position where if they fall it will be towards or onto a heater.

Electric blankets should be checked at the beginning of each winter season.

Chimneys also need to be inspected and cleaned before the fire lighting season, both for structural soundness and to clear channels of soot buildup, bird (1991) LTD nests and any other blockages which are fire hazards. When removing ashes from a fireplace always use a metal container. Plastic buckets and other combustible containers can often burst into flames, sometimes hours later.

Great start to Richmond football season

Stu Reid

The Queen Street Pharmacy Richmond 1st Division team started their season hosting FC Nelson Metro at Jubilee Park in front of the largest crowd we’ve had for a first round game in a long time.

The boys, a mixture of last year’s players and new, controlled the game from the start and totally outclassed a somewhat shocked Metro team, beating them comfortably in the end 11 - 0. Four goals by 2010 “golden boot” Wesley Olea, four goals on debut for the club from striker Ben Wright, and one each to Davi Maciel, Darryl Fenemor (man of the match) and George Donoso, showed those watching the team is ready to

compete in every game this season on their way to once again hopefully entering the Mainland Premier League playoffs.

The Queen Street Pharmacy Richmond 2nd Division Reserve side faced Tahuna’s top team at Jubilee Park, and with two goals each to Andrew Staples and Mike Campbell and one from old Sean ‘twinkle toes’ Barker (who continues his form from last season), helped the team to a 5 - 1 convincing victory. Andrew Staples was awarded man of the match.

The clubs two 3rd division teams made good starts with Richmond Thistle beating Tahuna 8 2 win and the Richmond Development boys, held FC Nelson Masters to a 2 - 2 draw.

Tigers roar to second cricket crown When it rains it pours and after a long spell between cricket titles, Sprig & Fern Waimea Toi Toi United has claimed its second this season.

WTTU Tigers started the Nelson Cricket one day final at Saxton Oval on Saturday in dramatic fashion, knocking over the wickets of Stoke/ Nayland’s openers and forcing the defending champions into defensive cricket. WTTU finished off the match with a strong partnership between skipper John Routhan and Brendan Hodgson.

Skipper Aaron Mallinson, who couldn’t play in the final because he was best man at a wedding in Auckland, says the win, to go along with its T/20 title earlier this year, is a great achievement for the club.

“It’s been a bloody fantastic year, the way we’ve structured the club has been great. We don’t do anything flashy, we stick to the basics and got some dominance so it was a really good feeling.”

The final was the final club cricket ONE DOWN: Brendan Hodgson, right, celgame of the season. ebrates a wicket with Sam Baxendine.

Sport REF BOSSES: Nelson Bays Football’s Ian Hull, left, and Tasman Rugby Union’s Nigel Jones are both looking for more referee’s.

Codes after officials as winter sport kicks into action Everyone loves a referee... well most do and let’s face it, sport would be pretty hopeless without them.

That’s why Nelson Bays Football and Tasman Rugby Union are on the hunt for more referees as the winter sport season kicks into gear.

Both codes are short of a few officials for the upcoming season and both say they are “vital” to the game.

“Without refs we don’t have a game, simple,” says TRU referee boss Nigel Jones. Ian Hull, referee development officer for Nelson Bays Football says he is looking for another few referee’s and says the ideal candidate is someone who knows the game well or used to play it and is keen to keep fit and stay involved in the sport.

“We provide a real pathway for our young referees, from local football, all the way to Fifa level if they want that.”

Nigel says TRU has similar pathways in place for aspiring rugby referees and says anyone keen to give it a go will be exposed to plenty of support and training.

People that are in short supply are former players who just want to ref the game at a local level.

“We have several guys that have no aspirations of reffing at a higher level and are happy to be giving back to their community,” says Ian. Both men say referee abuse isn’t much of a problem in Nelson, although thick skin is needed for the job. “Sport is about passion so people get upset and emotional when things don’t go right and we wouldn’t want that to change. Without passion sport would be pretty dire,” says Nigel.

Waimea Old Boys 2011

www.wobrfc.co.nz

Another winning weekend for Waimea Old Boys Aleisha Hart

After a suitable win last week against Stoke, the Stables Tavern Waimea A side confronted a new but prepared Riwaka side on Saturday at Cooks Reserve Park.

The entire game proved to be an interminable clash which saw both teams battling at different times throughout the game, struggling to take any control.

Waimea forwards for the most part were able to apply pressure to the Riwaka scrum, this being the only discipline that the one team dominated in. The backs seemed to fail to flow with any real rhythm and often squandered valuable possession which the forwards had worked timelessly to gain.

James Lowe playing at fullback was in a devastating mood, often cutting through the Riwaka backs OVER HE GOES: Waimea B’s Todd Brodie gets ready to dive over the try line for the team’s first try with some fancy footwork and against Riwaka on Saturday. Photos: Aleisha Hart. decisive pace. However, he often lacked the support which in turn was prominent for Riwaka who’s off loading to players at pace saw them gain many meters.

Waimea’s support, or lack of it, meant they were unable to capitalise and convert try scoring opportunities. The forwards carried on their affray up front which provided a satisfactory share of possession but often play broke down resulting in a turnover to Riwaka, who defended tenaciously on their home ground.

Waimea eventually won a lack lustre contest against a determined Riwaka team who made the most of their home ground fixture. Try scorers for Waimea were Cameron Salton, James Lowe (2), Corey McClelland and with the boot of Andrew Letham gaining a penalty and conversion UP THE FIELD: Waimea A’s Andrew Letham charges up the field in Saturday’s game against Riwaka the full time score was 25 – 16 to Waimea. This week Waimea take at Cooks Reserve.

on Huia at 3pm at Sports Park Motueka.

The Super Liquor Waimea Senior B side narrowly won their early fixture against a disruptive Riwaka side on their home ground. Riwaka defended well and fought hard which nearly upset the favoured Waimea team.

Riwaka team displayed a dodged defence and attack which often stunned Waimea who responded unhurried and late as they failed to find the rhythm and class of the previous two weeks.

Waimea forwards displayed areas of dominance and could supply ball to the backs who often spilled or turned the ball over with very diminutive resistance. Waimea often failed to launch into momentum and often looked lost.

On numerous occasions as they made their way to cross the try line they were just cut short. This try scoring wave should have been bread and butter for an experienced back line, who often score tries dexterously. Full time score for this clash was 29 – 24 won by Waimea. Try scorers were Todd Brodie, Josh Rutledge, John Higgins, Ethan Ruben and Dan Smith, with Jamie Galloway kicking two conversions.

This week for Waimea Old Boys...

Round four of the rugby season sees the Stables Tavern Waimea A side take on Huia at Sports Park Motueka from 3pm.

The Super Liquor Waimea Senior B side will also travel to Motueka this weekend to take on Huia from 1.15pm.

The Draft Bylaw replaces the policy, and has as its purpose the protection of public health, the avoidance of nuisance and fire risk, by regulating freedom camping within the district.

The Draft bylaw restricts freedom camping in certain places, including defined Department of Conservation land, and provides for fines to be issued to persons found to be camping in breach of the Bylaw.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Limited

Access Equipment

WEDNESDAY 6 April 2011

Plumbing & Gas

Proposed Rule Changes for Club Waimea There is a need to review and define Club Waimea’s Constitution and Rules.

There is a need to arrange the Club’s affairs in a more practical order.

There is a need to have a Board that can be focused on controlling the Club finances, overseeing general management and leading any future direction.

To achieve this is proposed that the members elect an Executive Committee who will assist the Board, who will control membership, member welfare, Sports and other Sections, supervise operation of the Courtesy Coach, oversee all of the Club’s assets and convene General Meetings.

The new document which covers all of the proposed changes can be picked up from the Club office upon presentation of your membership card. These changes are designed to take your Club into the future and your input is welcome.

Please obtain a copy, study it and have your say.

A Special General Meeting

for members to debate and hopefully adopt these measures will be held at

Club Waimea on Tuesday, 19 April at 7.00pm.

If passed, nominations will be called for the first Executive Committee, to be elected at the Clubs AGM on 29 May.
