<strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Rotorua</strong>’s<br />

$100 cash prize winners<br />

Wendy and Ross Allen from Hillcrest are the<br />

winners of our latest quarterly $100 prize draw.<br />

Wendy works as a photographer<br />

(the selfie<br />

is her own work) for<br />

SCION where she documents –<br />

for SCION's database – the scientific<br />

work that is being developed<br />

at the institute. She is also<br />

an active member of the <strong>Rotorua</strong><br />

Camera Club. Wendy loves her<br />

teddy bear collection.<br />

Ross is a customer representative<br />

for a major nationwide<br />

retail chain. He came to<br />

NZ from the UK some decades<br />

ago. His hobby is collecting<br />

Royal memorabilia with about<br />

250 items. It was inspired by his<br />

grandmother.<br />

The couple have a lovely<br />

house that they have now lived<br />

in for more than 20 years... and<br />

it is quite impressive to see how<br />

much love and care they put into<br />

creating their little 'nest'. Lots of<br />

plants and pots and a little leanto<br />

conservatory for cacti and<br />

succulents. They created it in a<br />

Greek/Roman style.<br />
