Temporary

A SEMI-CIRCLE of bollards has 

been put in at the intersection of 

Colombo St and Edgeware Rd to 

solve congestion problems. 

THe “temporary island” 

was installed on Wednesday 

to mitigate traffic issues, city 

council manager planning and 

delivery transport Lynette Ellis 

said. 

It comes after Nor’West News 

revealed local businesses were 

concerned congestion at the 

junction, which has been causing 

rat-running, was a crash 

waiting to happen. 

Bailies Bar and Restaurant coowner 

Richard Norton was concerned 

about a crash occurring 

due to drivers driving through 

the car park outside his business 

to avoid the congestion. 

He said it was too soon to see 

any results from the city council’s 

solution. 

But he was glad it had “done 

something.” 

Ms Ellis said the “interim 

changes” have been put in place 

SOLUTION: These cones 

have created the temporary 

fix to the Colombo St and 

Edgeware Rd congestion 

problems. 

to ensure cars drive over the 

intersection detectors on Colombo 

St and trigger the lights 

to change. 

Congestion issues have 

been caused by motorists not 

approaching the intersection 

properly, Ms Ellis said. 

Motorists are pulling up too 

far to the left of the intersection, 

confusing car parking with a left 

turning lane.

EDITOR’S 

DESK News......................................3, 6 

COINCIDENCE, or a bit of a 

shove from Nor’West News? 

I’m referring to our lead story on 

page 1 today over the Colombo St/ 

Edgeware Rd congestion. 

Last week we highlighted the 

problem and the confusion motorists 

were having with the lanes; 

confusion that meant the sensors 

were not picking up when the 

lights needed to change. 

That was caused by vehicles 

being driven to the wrong place at 

the intersection. 

Bar owner Richard Norton 

became frustrated with the even 

more frustrated drivers who have 

been taking shortcuts through his 

car park to avoid queuing at the 

intersection. 

But lo and behold there has been 

a development. 

Bollards have been installed 

which now force vehicles to the 

correct position at the intersection. 

Problem over, we hope.

Going out with colour and style 

Learn how 

to decorate 

your coffin 


DONNA Sutherland is on a 

mission to help people celebrate 

their lives. 

The Bishopdale-based graphic 

designer will soon be hosting 

weekly classes for people to 

decorate their own coffins from 

a new container at the MeNZ 

Shed site on Kendal Ave. 

It may sound like a morbid 

job, but Ms Sutherland said it’s 

about giving a “personal touch” 

to an otherwise sad occasion. 

She said it’s actually quite a 

soothing task. 

Rotorua Coffin Club 

chairwoman Katie Williams 

will travel to Christchurch to 

officially open the workshop 

container in the coming 

months. 

“We’ve just finished painting 

[the container], so we’re not far 

from finishing it all off,” Ms 

Sutherland said. 

But the hope is that, like the 

MeNZ Shed, the classes will 

bring people together. 

Ms Sutherland said it will be 

a great space for anyone who 

wants to come along and join in. 

At the moment, she offers the 

service privately and freely to 

people who purchase caskets 

from the Bishopdale MeNZ 

Shed. 

“I’ve just come from a funeral 

where the daughter wanted 

me to paint her mother’s coffin 

bright poppy red. It was her 

mother’s favourite colour,” she 

said. 

She said it was “gorgeous” and 

brought the room to life. 

Ms Sutherland said she’d 

recently been down to Oamaru 

to help a woman decorate 

the casket of her husband, a 

Catalina pilot in World War 2, 

who had passed away. 

“The coffin was air force blue 

and we decorated it with images 

of the Catalina he’d flown and 

medals he’d won,” she said. 

There is no limit to what you 

can have on your coffin, she 

said. 

“It acts like a memory board.” 

CELEBRATE:

Bishopdale MeNZ Shed 

co-ordinator Richard Rendle 

said he is looking forward 

to seeing the groups in the 

container. 

“It’ll be great to get people 

in there decorating their own 

coffins,” Mr Rendle said. 

The MeNZ Shed make and 

sell coffins with all profits going 

towards Ms Sutherland’s other 

project, angel boxes, which are 

caskets for babies. 

“It all comes together to help 

keep funding the angel boxes,” 

she said.

Supporting women to succeed 

Founder 

of the 

Christchurch 

Women’s 

Toastmasters 

Club, which 

meets 

weekly at 

St Paul’s 

Anglican Church in Papanui, 

Sheila Hailstone writes 

about the importance of 

inspiring confidence in 

women 

When Annette King finally 

bowed out of the Labour Party 

after 33 years, she said it was not 

good enough that women only 

make up 31 per cent of the MPs 

and that all political parties need 

to commit to making Parliament 

truly a House of Representatives. 

It is not only in this area of 

leadership women are underrepresented. 

Women make up over 60 per 

cent of university graduates with a 

post graduate or honours degree. 

However, they can only be found 

in 20 per cent of senior management 

positions and only 17 per 

cent of private sector boards. 

It’s not that women of any age 

lack the skills or obvious intelligence 

to put themselves forward 

for leadership positions but they 

may need support and confidence 

to take up the challenge. 

Christchurch Women’s Toastmasters, 

which meets weekly in 

Harewood Rd, has a phrase ‘supporting 

women to succeed’. 

In this club, women can gain 

both the speaking skills and 

leadership skills to take on any 

challenge. 

The group has attracted women 

from many walks of life and has a 

truly international feel as women 

of many different cultures find 

their speaking voice. 

The women in this club have 

used their skills to train business 

people in public speaking and 

the funds gained have been used 

to help pay the training fees for 

those members on a tight budget. 

Members have credited the club 

with helping them gain work, 

confidence, management positions 

and there is even one elderly 

member who believed it helped 

them recover from a stroke. 

For women, it is important to 

not allow the noise of other’s opinions 

to drown out their own voice. 

Women should follow their hearts, 

and if they want to gain confidence 

to do so they can and should 

be supported by other women. 

The Christchurch Women’s 

Toastmasters is a great place to 

start. 

Then maybe in my lifetime we 

will see women take up 50 per 

cent of the seats in Parliament 

and 50 per cent of the places on 

private sector and Governmental 

boards. 

Readers of Nor’West 

News react to the 

upgrades at Merivale Mall 

and the departure of long 

term tenant Paper Plus 

Carolyn Moffat – I’m 

appalled to see how this mall 

treats its long term tenants. 

The mall owners obviously 

have no respect for their tenants, 

and only want to fill up 

the mall with chain stores, so 

that it becomes like every other 

mall around town. Might as 

well shop elsewhere now at a 

bigger mall, as this mall is fast 

becoming irrelevant. Paper 

Plus will be sorely missed, 

just as the florist was, when it 

closed down. 

Catherine Small – Paper 

Plus is the only reason I went 

to Merivale Mall . . . it’s The 

Tannery for me now. 

Sandra Wright-Taylor 

– So sad about the way Paper 

Plus has been treated. The 

staff are knowledgeable, 

helpful and provide a very 

different range of products 

than Whitcoulls. I found that 

it stocked books that others 

didn’t. It was the drawcard 

store at the mall. No need to 

shop there now. 

Jason Thomas – Without 

a doubt, tenants excluded, the 


‘mall’ is one of the worst in the 

country. 

Karene Smith – There 

seems to be a trend with mall 

upgrades shifting out clients 

who have supported them for 

many years. Who have paid 

good rents and served the 

public well. No loyalty. I am 

hoping now that the inner-city 

shall gain these shop owners 

and will be supported by their 

previous clientele in the new 

environment. We have now the 

opportunity to have a vibrant 

inner-city shopping experience. 

Parking buildings have 

easy access. 

Connon Bray – Poor 

choices from the decisionmakers 

at Merivale Mall and 

AMP Capital. With retail 

under pressure and Amazon 

on your doorstep, you may 

have wanted to think about the 

impact of disrupting shopper 

habits and loyalty.

Chris Mugford – I hope the 

new tenants enjoy the privilege of 

paying for the new mall upgrades 

especially as they watch the customer 

car park empty out as the 

customers look for good service 

and uniqueness elsewhere. 

Jane Macarthy – Why is 

everyone surprised? It’s all about 

money people. The mall has 

always being about itself and it’s 

not really. Mall . . . more like the 

location. 

Josh Hurrell – Would take a 

pretty big revamp to ever make 

that place relevant. 

Tracey Tyler – Very sad to 

see Paper Plus leaving. It’s a great 

store with lovely staff. 

Keely Raines – Yet another 

mall to make it unaffordable 

for the hard working locally 

owned family business and give 

the space to another corporate, 

disgusting. 

Pamela Neil – About time. It 

is very boring and quite expensive. 

I used to live in a lovely house at 

124 Aikmans Rd when I went to 

Elmwood Normal School – now 

part of the mall car park. 

Anthony McBride – This is 

why I don’t shop at malls. 

Liz Ball – The mall owners are 

greedy as Paper Plus is such a nice 

shop and I will be saddened to see 

it go. 

Anne Marie Smulders – I 

like Paper Plus and always go 

there when I visit my family in 

Merivale. Such a shame it has to 

go. 

Musician earns $5000

A YOUNG pianist who lost his

“Adjacent to the traffic lane, 

the cycleway construction incorporated 

four car parks outside 

the businesses on the corner to 

provide customer car parking in 

close proximity,” Ms Ellis said. 

So the bollards were put in to 

stop cars pulling up there. 

If the bollards prove to address

permanently, Ms Ellis said.

“The foundation’s generosity

“It is not possible to put in 

wider detection loops, as they 

would be under the car parks 

and this would cause the traffic 

signals to extend the Colombo

parked,” she said. 

Ms Ellis said in turn, that would

Pedestrian 

island for 

Gardiners Rd 


PUPIL SAFETY is being 

prioritised with proposed road 

upgrades in Bishopdale. 

The city council is looking to 

install a new pedestrian island on 

Gardiners Rd, near the intersection 

with Fairford St. 

City council staff said it is a 

popular crossing location for 

pupils and their families from 

nearby Cotswold School. 

“To support the students and 

families from Cotswold School 

and the surrounding area, a new 

pedestrian refuge would make 

this part of Gardiners Rd a safer 

place to cross,” staff said. 

However, some on-street parking 

around the corner of Gardiners 

Rd and Fairford St, adjacent to 

where the island will go, will have 

to be removed. 

And tactile pavers will also 

be installed outside 52 and 53 

Gardiners Rd to assist pedestrians 

who are visually impaired. 

A tree outside 53 Gardiners 

Rd will also have to be 

removed. 

•You can have your say 

on these plans on the city 

council’s website until 

September 8. 

Dangerous intersection audit 


TRAFFIC SIGNALS at 

a contentious Harewood 

intersection are one step closer 

to getting the green light. 

But first, the Harewood, 

Gardiners and Breens Rd 

junction will be scrutinised 

during a city council safety 

assessment. 

As part of the city council’s 

Annual Plan process, funding 

was included for a full corridor 

assessment of Harewood Rd 

from Johns Rd to Greers Rd. 

That audit will be carried out 

before Christmas, city council 

manager planning and delivery 

transport Lynette Ellis said. 

“It needs to be completed in 

conjunction with an assessment 

of Greers Rd, and Sawyers Arms 

Rd. It is due to start prior to 

Christmas,” Ms Ellis said. 

And Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

said there would be funding set 

aside for an upgrade, including 

lights, if the safety audit proved 

they were necessary. 

But city councillor Aaron Keown, 

who has been calling 

for the upgrade, remains sceptical. 

“If the audit comes back and 

says an upgrade is not necessary, 

I would never trust safety audits

have been lobbying to get 

the Harewood, Gardiners 

and Breens Rd intersection

earlier this month. 

again,” Cr Keown said. 

He said he will be interested to 

see how the audit is conducted. 

“I just hope it’s not only a 

traffic count, we also need to 

look at driver behaviour in the 

area and take into consideration 

people rat-running and pulling 

dangerous U-turns, Cr Keown 

said. 

It comes after a recent collision 

at the intersection, which is the 

second in a matter of months. 

After the crash, Cr Keown said 

he rushed out and spoke to the 

police officer in attendance. 

“The policeman told me he’d 

been trying to get lights at this

intersection for years as well,” he 

said. 

Cr Keown has been lobbying 

for the upgrade for more than a 

year and locals for even longer. 

“They [residents] have been 

asking for lights for decades, 

since Pat Harrow was a city 

councillor,” he said. 

It was the crux of the campaign 

that saw him re-elected 

to the city council last year and 

he offered a reward of $100 for 

anyone that could locate a more 

dangerous intersection in the 

city.

CULTURE: The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and 

Christ’s College kapa haka groups performed. 

(Right) The map dress titled ‘road of the past’ 

was modelled by student Georgina Scott and 

created by Holly McCarron and Molly Payne. 

Rangi shows off culture 

FROM A chamber music trio to 

a full dance company and kapa 

haka groups, Rangi Ruru showed 

off its talented students during an 

annual cultural showcase. 

The event was themed ‘wind 

back the clock’ with spectacular 

performances to full houses last 

week at The Piano centre. 

Added interest was provided by 

a parade of wearable art costumes 

and the announcement of the 

winner of the Gordon Harris 

Visual Art award. 

The matinee performance 

was attended by more than 180 

visitors from Paparoa Street 

School, St Mark’s School, and 

the Merivale Retirement village, 

which had front row seats. 

Notable guests included 

Robin and Anne Gibson, direct 

descendants of Rangi Ruru 

founders the Gibson Family, and 

Elizabeth Reid, who boarded at 

the school in 1944. 

SHOWCASE: The matinee 

show had almost 200 guests, 

including residents from 

Merivale Retirement Village.

Shirley schools get 

stuck into gardening 


GETTING THEIR hands dirty 

was not a concern for students 

during a planting day at Shirley 

Primary School. 

Pupils from the school 

were joined by their older 

counterparts from Shirley Boys’ 

High who got stuck into making 

and planting planter boxes. 

The day was organised by 

Corbin Newlands, who is 

on the Shirley Boys’ High 

environmental council. 

Corbin said the day was about 

keeping the community spirit 

that came after the earthquake 

alive. 

“We had such a good 

day. Students from the 

environmental council went 

down and some of the kids 

helped out with the planting,” 

he said. 

The planter box supplies were 

provided by Shirley Bunnings 

Warehouse and ASB served up a 

sausage sizzle.

WIELDING GUITARS, drum

pupils rocked the house 

during the Rockshop Bandquest 

competition. 

Bands from Heaton, Cobham 

and Breens intermediate schools 

and Waimairi School were 

among those to take the stage on 

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 

nights. 

Radio Mayhem, of Heaton, won 

awards, including rocking drummer, 

best female vocalist, and 

they were second overall with 

their covers of Green Day and the 

Foo Fighters. 

Two pupils from Breens also 

picked up individual awards – 

Billie Nuku for musicianship 

and Dylan Smart for best male 

vocalist. 

Bandquest is the pupils version 

of the Smokefreerockquest. 

Founder and director Glenn 

Common said the competition is 

a vehicle to develop young talent. 

“Very often Bandquest is the 

first experience on a fully set up 

stage for these bands, with a light 

show and professionally mixed 

sound,” he said. 

“With six years of these young 

bands feeding into Smokefreerockquest, 

we can see how this 

encouragement helps students 

to progress musically, with all 

the benefits that brings in high 

school, both socially and academically.”

Rangi Ruru to meet CGHS 

in repeat of last year’s final 


IT’S DÉJÀ vu in the division 

one Whelans Trophy with last 

year’s finalists Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School taking on Christchurch 

Girls’ High for the title tonight. 

It is the second year the 

competition has been run and 

Rangi Ruru will be looking to 

win back-to-back titles at Cowles 

Stadium at 5.45pm, while CGHS 

will want to avenge last year’s 

loss. 

A narrow 61-59 win against St 

Andrew’s College at Middleton 

Grange booked Rangi Ruru a 

spot in the final. 

Rangi coach Darcy Rose said 

she expects a “tough game” 

tonight. 

“Girls’ high is a talented, 

well-coached team that played 


CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High’s 

newest rugby star Rico Syme 

stole the show on Saturday, 

pulling off three big plays in the 

18-10 win over Timaru Boys’ 

High in the UC Championship 

final. 

Syme slotted into first-five 

after playing the semi-final at 

fullback and, within the first 

half hour, repaid the coaches 

very well against Middleton last 

week,” she said. 

She said Rangi are up for the 

challenge. 

CGHS had a tight 64-62 win 

against Middleton Grange at 

Middleton. 

CGHS coach Phil Burns is 

in his final year of coaching 

the side and said the level of 

basketball being played is the 

faith with two chip kicks to set 

up tries in both corners. He said 

“luck of the bounce” and great 

support play meant the kicks 

came off. 

The 12-3 half-time lead was 

extended with another Syme 

penalty in the 42nd-minute, 

before Timaru hit back with a 

converted try of their own from 

a lineout drive making the score 

15-10 with 20min to play. 

Syme lined up a penalty in the

strongest he has seen in 20 

years. 

“We played them [Rangi] 

recently and that game went to 

overtime,” he said. Rangi won 

83-79. 

Burns said his team is one of 

the tallest in the competition 

so he is “confident they can 

compete at both ends”. 

Syme shines as CBHS win UC Champs 

62nd-minute from about 45m on 

the angle, and the confident left 

boot did not fail. 

Even though Timaru needed 

two scoring plays to snatch 

victory, Syme said he knew they 

would have to defend hard as 

they were capable of coming 

back. 

CBHS held on to win their 

second consecutive title and 

their 10th in 17 years of the 

competition. 

Mixed Two 

Emma milburn & JacquElinE morrEn 

Little River Gallery will be presenting works by two artists, Emma Milburn and Jacqueline 

Morren in their new exhibition ‘Mixed Two’ from this Saturday September 2nd. They are 

bringing together different geographical cultures, using different media and materials, 

both with a strong environmental focus from the manmade and natural world. Their work 

is fabricated by using old traditional techniques yet with a contemporary edge. 

Emma Milburn’s paintings depict elements that are influenced by the natural environment 

of remote and isolated South Island wilderness areas and her interaction within this. As a 

Wilderness Search Dog handler and Visual Tracker, Emma is acutely tuned in to analyse 

detail along with the ‘big picture’. 

Colour, shape, shine, shadow, contours,movement and 

texture influence Emma’s abstract painting style. 

”The juxtaposition between my experiences of wilderness, 

and an urban environment of playing and writing music also 

bring an awareness of the interaction between space, time 

and repetition.” 

‘Monowai’ original painting 

by Emma Milburn from 

the exhibition ‘Mixed Two’ 

at Little River Gallery from 

September 2nd 

For Jacqueline Morren this body of work is a new direction. 

She sets herself a big challenge to sculpt without training or 

access to technical tools. At times this has resulted in her 

having to create her own implements, to aid the stretching & 

curving of the silver out of one piece, without the use of soldering. 

Jacqueline Morren’s fine 

silver and Pounamu jug 

‘Punctuated Equilibrium’ 

from the exhibition ‘Mixed 

Two’ at Little River Gallery 

from September 2nd 

“Maker’s marks are left intentionally; I have no inclination towards smooth perfection. I 

love discovering the magical combination of metals & Jade until it feels right, usually after a 

long process. This enables the wonderful greenstone to come to life, to its fullest potential.” 

The artwork is layered with era’s bygone, present and anticipated future innovation. 

The exhibition is running from 2nd until 27th September. For more information, please visit www.littlerivergallery.com

RYMAN HEALTHCARE 

The Diana Isaac Retirement Village bowling green sees a lot of friendly competition. 

Independent living a lifestyle 

choice with many benefits 

The beautifully appointed 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village in 

Mairehau offers accommodation 

ranging from independent living 

in townhouses and apartments, 

to assisted living in serviced 

apartments, right through to 

resthome, hospital and dementia 

care. 

For residents who choose the 

independent living option, it 

is a lifestyle choice that offers 

a combination of benefits. 

These are, the independence of 

having their own apartment or 

townhouse while at the same 

time enjoying the wide range of 

facilities and activities the village 

offers whenever they wish to, the 

company and friendship of the 

other residents, a safe and secure 

environment, and having staff 

on hand to provide assistance if 

needed. 

The range of entertainment and 

social activities include regular 

live music, happy hour, outings to 

restaurants and shopping centres, 

and movies in the village theatre; 

while the all-weather bowling 

green, the heated pool and gym, 

petanque area and croquet green 

offer plenty of opportunities for 

companionship and physical 

activity. 

For quieter times, there is the 

well-stocked library, plus there is a 

hair and beauty salon and a small 

shop for essentials. 

Like all Ryman Healthcare 

villages, Diana Isaac offers 

what are known as the Ryman 

differences, which further set 

them apart. These include their 

resident friendly terms – the 

Peace of Mind Guarantees. There 

is also a generator on site as backup 

in the event of a power cut, wifi 

and emergency call alarms. 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

also enjoys close connections with 

the community. It is affiliated 

to around eight local clubs and 

groups and offers its facilities for 

club meetings and get-togethers. 

Book clubs, Probus groups and 

gardening groups are among those 

that take advantage of the village 

facilities, with some residents 

belonging to the various groups 

and taking part in the meetings. 

Residents enjoying the exclusive Ryman Triple A exercise classes. 

Hoko and Glenda Ria relaxing in their comfortable townhouse lounge. 

“It’s our home” 

For new residents at Diana Isaac, 

Glenda and Hokowhitu Ria, there 

is one word that sums up how 

they feel about their new place of 

residence – brilliant. 

The couple moved in to their 

independent townhouse on June 

19 this year, though it was a move 

Hoko had been thinking about 

since 2000. He had seen a number 

of his friends’ wives being left in 

difficult circumstances after their 

husbands had died, and he wanted 

to ensure Glenda would have 

security in that situation. 

They lived in Cranford Street 

for 21 years and Northwood for 

a further 16 years, but for some 

time Hoko hadn’t been too sure 

about making the next move. 

However, when they started to 

look at retirement villages they 

soon decided it would be a Ryman 

village for them, and it would be 

Diana Isaac. 

Hoko loves gardening, and 

when he first visited Diana Isaac, 

the gardens were all in bloom. 

“It was amazing. It filled me with 

love,” he says. 

But he still wasn’t ready, though 

Glenda was impatient to get there. 

They discussed it with sales advisor 

Adrienne Todd, who explained the 

benefits they would have by living 

at Diana Isaac, including the fixed 

weekly fee*, which they liked. 

Hoko said, “Keep talking, I’m 

enjoying what I’m hearing.” 

He finally made the decision, 

and both he and Glenda say as 

soon as they moved in, they felt 

welcome, and very secure, which 

was important to them. 

“We also liked it that everything 

is provided,” says Glenda. “You can 

be as sociable as you want to be.” 

Glenda says she is usually a very 

shy person, but doing things with 

the other residents, “brings you 

out of yourself ”. 

“The village manager and the 

activities co-ordinator, they get 

you involved. You do things you 

might never have done before. 

We are busier now than we were 

before.” 

The two went on a village outing 

for a meal at the Two Fat Possums 

restaurant in West Melton, which 

they thoroughly enjoyed. They 

also enjoyed the Fine Dining 

evening at the village, which is a 

regular event with the food being 

the chef ’s choice. 

“That was brilliant,” says Hoko. 

Both he and Glenda are thrilled 

with all the members of the Diana 

Isaac team, describing them as 

“very caring people”. 

“This is not just a village as such,” 

says Glenda. “It’s our home, and 

it’s felt like home since day one. 

I’ve never been so happy as I am 

here. This is what we have worked 

for all our life – it’s time to sit back 

and enjoy it.”

Remembrance in Aotearoa New Zealand After World War 1, 1918–1928. Exploring visual 

practices of remembrance in New Zealand after the end of the Great War, this symposium 

examines the production and consumption of commemorative images and objects. As soon

emerge, symbolising the devastating upheaval and loss endured by New Zealanders during 

the war. The keynote presentation will be given by historian Sandy Callister. A light afternoon 

tea will be served during the interval and refreshments held at end of the symposium. Held

Creating a Better 

Denture Experience 

When was the last time you 

had your dentures checked? 

Call us today for your FREE 

check today. 

At Better Denture, the denture clinic 

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim 

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth, 

says experienced dental technician and 

owner Chris Castle. 

“We focus on making it easier for people 

coming here to have dentures made or 

maintained with our relaxed environment 

and friendly approach.” 

Chris understands that people can be a bit 

nervous about coming into a dental clinic, 

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome 

and comfortable at Better Denture by 

breaking down those barriers and putting 

them at ease. 

The process of having new dentures made 

and fitted usually takes four appointments, 

and Chris explains the process step by step 

so patients understand what’s being done, 

further complete after care is provided at no 

additional cost. 

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite 

by hand, using higher grade materials as 

standard, allowing us the ability to customise 

every aspect of the process. We also aim to 

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures, 

with same day repairs and relines on offer, 

as well as being available on Saturdays, 

allowing us to work around even the busiest 

schedules,” he says. 

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create 

the best possible denture experience for 

you, the customer, whether it be through 

the products we custom create, the service 

we provide or the manner in which strive to 

achieve both of those goals.” 

Anyone needing new dentures is invited 

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious 

and welcoming, and patients are invited to 

bring someone with them for support at any 

appointment if they wish. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby, 

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday, 

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm. 

Off-street parking and wheelchair access 

available.

and the 

friendly team

check.

Meanwhile, toss the sprouts in 

walnut and olive oil. Season and

15min, then add the pinenuts

Different outlook 

and fresh approach 

THE Cashmere Club has appointed a 

new Club Manager, Donna Hughes. 

“After a very thorough recruitment 

process I am pleased to advise that the 

Board of the Cashmere Club has 

approved the appointment of Donna 

Hughes as our new General Manager,” 

said Pete Winchester, Board Chairman. 

“Donna comes to the Club with an 

extensive background in hospitality, 

with experience in senior management 

positions in Customer Services and 

most recently at the executive level in 

Marketing and Loyalty management. 

As far as I am aware this is the first 

time we have ever had a woman take up 

the role of General Manager of our 

club. It will no doubt provide a different 

outlook and fresh approach to what we 

want to achieve in the future.” 

\ 

Donna said she has been warmly 

welcomed by members and staff at 

the Cashmere Club and that it is 

great to see the diversity of the 

services the club already offers its 

members, their families and the 

community.
