Plans to quarry golf course possible<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

and Bridget Rutherford<br />

CONTROVERSIAL plans<br />

for Fulton Hogan to quarry<br />

Templeton Golf Course within<br />

the next five years, could<br />

go ahead if it meets certain<br />

conditions.<br />

The company wants to do a<br />

land swap with the 53.5ha golf<br />

course, and its nearby quarry,<br />

which sits on 84.3ha of Pound<br />

Rd land.<br />

The current quarry has<br />

reached the end of its life span,<br />

and the golf course sits on top of<br />

aggregate.<br />

In a recently released decision,<br />

the Christchurch Replacement<br />

District Plan independent<br />

hearings panel said Fulton<br />

Hogan could pursue its plans<br />

only if it met certain conditions.<br />

City council head of planning<br />

and strategic transport Richard<br />

Osborne said the prerequisite<br />

conditions had to be met by<br />

December, 2021.<br />

Those included gaining<br />

resource consent to clear<br />

indigenous vegetation and<br />

trees and providing a contract<br />

to the city council for the<br />

establishment of the course<br />

on the current quarry site, he<br />

said.<br />

The city council, neighbours<br />

Sara Harnett and Tjeerd Kikstra<br />

and Waterloo Park Ltd were<br />

strongly opposed to the plan.<br />

Ms Harnett’s property is right<br />

next door to the golf course. She<br />

said if the quarry moved there it<br />

would be noisy and dusty.<br />

“It is pretty devastating it has<br />

got so far,” she said.<br />

“There is certainly a chance<br />

it could happen. It is certainly a<br />

win for Fulton Hogan.”<br />

As part of the plan, Fulton<br />

Hogan would build the club<br />

new facilities and an 18 hole golf<br />

course on the current quarry<br />

site, and would begin quarrying<br />

at the current golf course site.<br />

The left over land is tagged for<br />

community use.<br />

It also needs to gain the<br />

Minister of Conservation’s<br />

approval to uplift the recreation<br />

reserve classification at the golf<br />

course and put it on the quarry<br />

site, he said.<br />

A Fulton Hogan spokesman<br />

said it was pleased with the<br />

outcome of the independent<br />

hearings panel, although it was<br />

not a foregone conclusion.<br />

He said the company currently<br />

quarried and processed at the<br />

Pound Rd site, and after the<br />

swap the activity would remain<br />

the same, if not in a reduced<br />

scale.<br />

Proposed resident parking<br />

scheme moves up a gear<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

RESIDENTS ARE closer to<br />

getting permits that will allow<br />

them to park on their own<br />

street over-riding any time<br />

restrictions.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi<br />

Community Board and city<br />

councillor Jamie Gough want to<br />

introduce permits so residents<br />

can park in their street exempt<br />

from restricted time constraints.<br />

The board recommended city<br />

council staff arrange a briefing<br />

where resident permits can be<br />

explored and potential solutions<br />

found.<br />

The recommendation was<br />

adopted by the city council at a<br />

recent meeting.<br />

“Parking restrictions are<br />

a necessary evil to promote<br />

vehicle turnover in busy areas.<br />

But the point of them is not to<br />

punish the residents that need to<br />

park in front of their own house<br />

for longer than the restricted<br />

time period,” Cr Gough said.<br />

“I think there’s a better way,<br />

and it’s pretty straight-forward,”<br />

he said.<br />

The permit would over rule<br />

any parking restrictions on the<br />

street outside their property.<br />

Russley resident Ken Legat<br />

said the permit was a fantastic<br />

idea that will start to give<br />

residents the freedom to park<br />

outside their properties.<br />

“Parking is a big problem,<br />

especially for us with the<br />

inclusion of the Airport Business<br />

Park and its employees needing<br />

a space to park near their work,”<br />

he said.<br />

The permits would be similar<br />

to the contractor parking<br />

permits Cr Gough campaigned<br />

for on behalf of a Holmwood Rd<br />

resident.<br />

They allow contractors to<br />

park exempt from restrictions<br />

in suburban streets. That idea is<br />

now being trialled for the next<br />

10 months.<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: Does the<br />

city council need to bring<br />

in parking permits to allow<br />

residents to park outside<br />

their properties without the<br />

risk of parking fines? Share<br />

SHED FIRE<br />

A Halswell Junction Rd shed in a<br />

Fulton Hogan yard was engulfed<br />

in flames last Saturday at 3.33am.<br />

Fire Services from Addington<br />

and Sockburn were sent to the<br />

scene and were shortly backed<br />

up by Harewood and central city<br />

appliances. One end of the shed<br />

was on fire along with a tractor.<br />

The fire soon spread to the roof<br />

of the shed. The fire is not being<br />

treated as suspicious and no one<br />

was hurt. Fire Services were at<br />

the scene for about two hours.<br />

It was first noticed by a security<br />

guard passing by.<br />

RESERVE NAMES<br />

APPROVED<br />

The Riccarton-Wigram<br />

Community Board has approved<br />

the proposed names of several<br />

western reserves in the city. The<br />

subdivisions with new reserve<br />

names include the Wigram<br />

Skies subdivision, Kirkwood<br />

subdivision and the Longhurst<br />

subdivision. For a full list of the<br />

proposed reserve names and<br />

classifications go to attachment A<br />

of the Tuesday <strong>August</strong> 16 board<br />

meeting on the city council<br />

website.<br />

CAR CRASH<br />

Fire Services were sent out to the<br />

intersection of Halswell Junction<br />

and Springs Rds after a car crash.<br />

Fire Services were sent to clean<br />

up oil on the road caused by<br />

the crash. No one was trapped.<br />

Two appliances were sent from<br />

Sockburn and Harewood but<br />

only one arrived. A St John<br />

ambulance was sent to the scene.<br />

A woman involved in the crash<br />

was assessed on the site and did<br />

not need to go to the hospital.<br />

GRANT FOR<br />

HALSWELL SCHOOL<br />

The Riccarton-Wigram<br />

Community Board resolved to<br />

make a grant of $1100 from its<br />

<strong>2016</strong>-2017 Youth Development<br />

Fund. The grant was made to<br />

Halswell School to support<br />

11 pupils attending the China<br />

Group Tour. The tour will be<br />

held on September 17 through to<br />

October 5.<br />

Anti-fluoridation argument<br />

doesn’t ‘hold much water’<br />

Nick King<br />

responds to<br />

last week’s<br />

opinion piece<br />

by John<br />

Verd about<br />

the dangers<br />

of water<br />

fluoridation<br />

in Christchurch<br />

With respect John, I think<br />

your passion for the well-being<br />

of others is admirable but, in this<br />

case, misguided.<br />

To suffer a “toxic dose” of<br />

fluoride, at the current safe and<br />

recommended level you’d have to<br />

guzzle 25 gallons of water. You’d<br />

die from hyperhydration first.<br />

Sola dosis facit venenum – the<br />

dose makes the poison.<br />

You quote Hirzy and Connett<br />

as if that adds weight to the antifluoride<br />

argument.<br />

They are not respected in their<br />

field, nor do they speak for the<br />

(United States) Environmental<br />

Protection Agency. And they’re<br />

at odds with their peers and<br />

mountains of research.<br />

I suspect these “studies” are the<br />

well-known “Chinese studies”,<br />

popular among conspiracy theorists<br />

and widely discredited. Fifty<br />

poor studies versus thousands<br />

of more robust studies does not<br />

make a solid case.<br />

The Chinese studies fail to<br />

acknowledge the higher than recommended<br />

levels of fluoride and<br />

other chemicals (also other factors<br />

that may contribute to lower<br />

IQ), including arsenic and iodine<br />

– iodine being a good example<br />

of “beneficial in small doses,<br />

dangerous in higher doses”.<br />

The dose makes the poison.<br />

Even if it is a by-product of an<br />

industrial process, so what? Lots<br />

of things are. We call it recycling.<br />

It’s safe at the levels required to<br />

be beneficial to teeth.<br />

Sure, it might be classed as<br />

a hazardous product which, of<br />

course, it will be if you’re counting<br />

it by the truck load.<br />

Hydrochloric acid is highly<br />

corrosive, but is also produced<br />

naturally by your own body.<br />

There’s arsenic in rice.<br />

The dose makes the poison.<br />

I’m all for questioning and<br />

challenging the status-quo –<br />

things go stale if we don’t.<br />

But scaring people with<br />

sciencey-sounding rhetoric isn’t<br />

very helpful, even if your intentions<br />

are good.<br />

I too have my own reservations<br />

about this situation because of<br />

Christchurch’s reputation for<br />

amazing water, and I have an<br />

emotional attachment to that.<br />

But the points you covered just<br />

don’t hold much water (pun<br />

intended) and are potentially<br />

unnecessarily scary for people.<br />

Readers respond to last<br />

week’s opinion piece by<br />

John Verd about fluoridated<br />

water<br />

Pam Webber, Middleton<br />

I agree with you. (It’s)<br />

abhorrent that they intend<br />

ruining our beautiful<br />

Christchurch water. Keep up the<br />

good work.<br />

Ian Orchard, Papanui<br />

I won’t be losing sleep<br />

over the possibility of<br />

fluoridated water until I get<br />

some more details which<br />

John Verd omitted from<br />

his soapbox. The somewhat<br />

breathless revelation that<br />

hydrofluorosilicic acid (more<br />

properly Hexafluorosilicic acid)<br />

is a by-product of the fertiliser<br />

industry isn’t particularly<br />

relevant. Like sausages, lots<br />

of ingredients in food come<br />

from pathways that we prefer<br />

not to know about, without<br />

being in any way hazardous.<br />

On the other hand, plenty of<br />

ingredients can be dangerous<br />

in the wrong concentrations.<br />

Sodium chloride and<br />

dihydrogen oxide are two classic<br />

examples. Sodium bicarbonate,<br />

frequently recommended for<br />

tough cleaning jobs, is also an<br />

essential ingredient in cakes.<br />

John makes no mention of the<br />

concentration of fluoride ions in<br />

treated water. The World Health<br />

Organisation recommends<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

1mg/l or one part per million,<br />

hardly a toxic dose for a mineral<br />

that doesn’t accumulate in the<br />

body. He also omits to mention<br />

the ‘elevated’ levels of fluorine<br />

required to cause reduced<br />

IQ, or whether association is<br />

actual causation, or if any of<br />

the 50 studies had survived<br />

peer review? It’s much easier to<br />

scaremonger if you leave out<br />

any details that might counter<br />

your beliefs.<br />

Fee, Fendalton<br />

I am very annoyed that<br />

people do not have a choice<br />

with fluoridation. It’s mass<br />

poisoning. I certainly do not<br />

want to drink a neurotoxin<br />

everyday. What about babies<br />

and pregnant mothers? I would<br />

have to buy a special water filter<br />

that can get rid of fluoride.<br />

Children who have rotten teeth<br />

are most likely not drinking<br />

water and consuming too much<br />

sugar. Better to educate than<br />

fluoridate.<br />

Daniel Brice, Woolston<br />

I strongly support John<br />

Verd’s article on water<br />

fluoridation. It’s a poison and,<br />

like all things we ingest, it<br />

should be done of our own<br />

hand. I will be doing as much<br />

as possible to stop our precious<br />

water from being tainted with<br />

this chemical and having the<br />

choice taken from me of water I<br />

put into my body.<br />

Models at big event<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

BURNSIDE’S Rebecca<br />

Dore will be among the<br />

models strutting down the<br />

catwalk at New Zealand<br />

Fashion Week.<br />

She will join Lucy Wyma,<br />

of Papanui, for tomorrow’s<br />

wedding section of the<br />

show. They will also appear<br />

on Saturday.<br />

Miss Dore, 21, is Portfolio<br />

Model Agency’s booker and<br />

a model for the business.<br />

This is her fourth time<br />

walking at NZFW and she’s<br />

thrilled to be part of one of<br />

the more extravagant shows<br />

of the week.<br />

“I did the wedding show<br />

last year and it was beautiful.<br />

It’s the best show of<br />

the week and it’s exciting<br />

to be a bride,” Miss Dore<br />

said.<br />

Portfolio Model Agency<br />

director Mel Radford<br />

Brown said the girls are<br />

some of the best in the<br />

agency and reflect the talent<br />

Christchurch has to offer.<br />

“This speak volumes of<br />

portfolio models and the<br />

calibre of our models,” Mrs<br />

Radford Brown said.<br />

She has also walked in<br />

Australia’s premier event,<br />

Week, in Sydney.<br />

Miss Wyma, 20, also<br />

walked in the latest Mercedes-Benz<br />

Fashion Week<br />

and will model at NZFW<br />

this week.<br />

The young up-andcoming<br />

model was recently<br />

signed to IMG International,<br />

which has represented<br />

the likes of Gisele<br />

Bundchen, Miranda Kerr<br />

and Kate Moss.<br />

Georgia Greig, 19, of<br />

Ilam, will accompany the<br />

girls in what will be her first<br />

appearance at fashion week.<br />

Miss Greig only just<br />

stepped into the modelling<br />

scene a year ago and is<br />

excited to be in the show<br />

seeing as she didn’t even attend<br />

casting for the event.<br />

“It’s pretty overwhelming<br />

to be chosen because, being<br />

a student, it was financially<br />

unviable to attend casting<br />

so I just hung back and let<br />

them know I was available<br />

to be booked directly,” she<br />

said.<br />

The models will appear<br />

in the wedding show next<br />

Wednesday and Saturday.<br />

BREAK OUT:<br />

Georgia<br />

Greig and<br />

Rebecca<br />

Our People<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Snowboarding and modelling<br />

Anneke Stewart is an artist who has spent years<br />

travelling and adventure-seeking. Reporter<br />

Annabelle Dick spoke to her about what it was<br />

like growing up on a deer farm, modelling for one<br />

of New Zealand’s biggest designers and how she<br />

impressed some of Europe’s most well-known<br />

graffiti artists<br />

You are an artist by trade, can<br />

you tell me about your art and<br />

your career?<br />

I exhibit at least once or twice<br />

a year, I’m always producing<br />

artwork. I produce in about<br />

10 different mediums quite<br />

prolifically. The style is very much<br />

cohesive throughout my work.<br />

I’m into reclaimed objects<br />

and keeping the integrity of a<br />

material. My approach to what<br />

I do is consciously create and<br />

honour where we come from and<br />

where our materials come from.<br />

I believe we’re here to look after<br />

this beautiful planet. I’m a Reiki<br />

master which is like an energy<br />

healer so I’m very sensitive to<br />

energy and energy patterns.<br />

I love what I do. Art is not<br />

something I do, it’s who I am and<br />

there’s no separation between the<br />

two. It’s like breathing I have to<br />

do it in order to feel normal.<br />

What are you working on at<br />

the moment?<br />

I’m currently working on<br />

more products and print media<br />

on paper so I can make my<br />

work more accessible. I’ve<br />

just completed the largest<br />

commission of my career so<br />

far for the Deloitte building in<br />

the city centre. It’s a lenticular<br />

lightbox which is an animated<br />

3D-type medium so the images<br />

change when you walk past.<br />

I’m trying to keep my fine art<br />

and commercial art separate. On<br />

a weekly basis I do art classes<br />

where I teach a handful of<br />

students – hopefully, by next year<br />

I can have more classes. I want<br />

to start adult classes next month<br />

too. I’m also doing a piece for the<br />

BMX park over in New Brighton<br />

in spring.<br />

Tell me about you family.<br />

My father was a deer farmer<br />

and my mother has always<br />

worked in fashion. When I was in<br />

school she sold Pieter’s Modelling<br />

Agency which is now Portfolio<br />

CREATIVE: Anneke Stewart with one of her creations.<br />

Model Agency. Then a few years She’s very down to earth, a hard<br />

later she started New Zealand worker and she’s quite shy. She<br />

Fashion Week.<br />

loves to cook and hates shopping.<br />

I’ve always grown up with a That sounds like you would’ve<br />

highly driven and motivated had an interesting upbringing,<br />

mum doing amazing events. what was life like growing up?<br />

I had an amazing life growing<br />

up on a farm. We spent summers<br />

in the Sounds at our family bach<br />

and in the winter I was always up<br />

at Mt Olympus.<br />

Spending time on the snow was<br />

a big part of my life. I learnt to<br />

ski there at three-years-old and<br />

snowboard at 16.<br />

I actually did my minor<br />

at art school in snowboard<br />

photography just so I could get<br />

up the mountain every week<br />

and justify it. I’ve been really<br />

involved in the early days of the<br />

snowboard industry in New<br />

Zealand. It makes me who I am<br />

and it makes me tick.<br />

Were you ever keen to get into<br />

fashion after growing up with a<br />

mother who’s highly prominent<br />

in the industry?<br />

Fashion isn’t something I’ve<br />

felt a huge desire to get into, I<br />

chose to pursue art which isn’t<br />

highly lucrative but I’m working<br />

on it. I used to model when I was<br />

15 through to about 20 – but it<br />

wasn’t serious at all.<br />

I was just learning to<br />

snowboard when I got the biggest<br />

bruise on my hip. Soon after<br />

that happened I had to fly up to<br />

Auckland for my first advertising<br />

campaign for a New Zealand<br />

designer and it was with Helen<br />

Cherry.<br />

give way to creating art<br />

It was a big deal and I turned<br />

up all bruised expecting them to<br />

say: ‘Who is this chick from the<br />

boonies? What’s she doing?’<br />

Christine Webster shot the<br />

campaign and I idolised her as<br />

a photographer and here was<br />

me this little rookie snowboard<br />

model chick. I was mortified. That<br />

exemplifies my non-attachment<br />

to the fashion industry.<br />

I did draw on my photography<br />

skills though and I was the official<br />

photographer for New Zealand<br />

Fashion Week when I moved back<br />

to the country.<br />

What was school like?<br />

I went to Hororata Primary<br />

then Selwyn House before<br />

going to boarding school at St<br />

Margaret’s College.<br />

After high school I went to<br />

Christchurch Polytechnic where I<br />

did a degree in craft design.<br />

I actually failed university<br />

entrance for art so I couldn’t get<br />

into art school on my marks.<br />

So I took the year off and<br />

snowboarded every day and<br />

painted at night and filled up<br />

work books so I could get myself<br />

in. I then did my post graduate<br />

at Elam School of Fine Arts<br />

majoring in sculpture.<br />

What did you do after<br />

studying?<br />

I had been institutionalised my<br />

ENTHUSIASTIC: Anneke Stewart on the slopes with her<br />

four-year-old daughter Phoenix.<br />

whole life so I decided to move<br />

overseas where I spent 10 years.<br />

What was it like living<br />

overseas?<br />

I tried to get art-related jobs<br />

but they wouldn’t recognise my<br />

degree there. While I was there I<br />

got very good at graffiti.<br />

My partner of the time was<br />

an aerosol artist so I went out to<br />

do public walls with him quite<br />

often. I was part of a paint jam in<br />

Brighton with about 150 graffiti<br />

artists from all around Europe<br />

and I was one of three girls. They<br />

were watching me paint and<br />

asked me how long I’ve been<br />

doing it . . . it was probably about<br />

my fifth ever piece and they were<br />

really impressed.<br />

After living in the UK I moved<br />

to Morzine, France and I got a job<br />

as a photographer. The first gig<br />

was at the Arctic Circle up the top<br />

of Sweden to an event called The<br />

Battle which is legendary in the<br />

snowboarding world. I ended up<br />

meeting a pro rider from Sweden<br />

and we ended up dating for four<br />

years.<br />

SUNSET: Mandala light box created from an original photo<br />

taken near Shag Rock after the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

Why did you make the move<br />

back to New Zealand?<br />

After the Sweden saga I<br />

came home. I became unwell<br />

and developed really bad<br />

endometriosis.<br />

I was close to being booked in<br />

to get surgery but I wanted time<br />

to get my body strong so I moved<br />

to Wanaka. Being a Reiki master<br />

I was aware that what was going<br />

on could be fixed holistically. I<br />

worked with a natural healer and<br />

nutritionist for a year and I got<br />

rid of it completely without any<br />

surgery.<br />

You got engaged earlier this<br />

year, how did you meet you<br />

partner?<br />

When I moved to Wanaka I<br />

met my partner Anthony who’s a<br />

builder. We lived in Wanaka for a<br />

couple of years before moving to<br />

Leeston, then to the high country<br />

and now we’re in Sumner. We<br />

have two kids together – Phoenix<br />

who’s four and Knox who is twoand-a-half.<br />

After the endometriosis I was<br />

told I wouldn’t be able to conceive<br />

children easily so my children are<br />

miracles. He’s from the Taranaki<br />

so he’s a North Island boy but<br />

I managed to move him down<br />

here because I’m a hardcore<br />

Cantabrian.<br />

SCIRT programme on the home straight<br />

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls is<br />

almost complete and will finish in December.<br />

Most of our repairs involve fixing the city’s underground pipe networks with only small<br />

amount of our work focused on roads.<br />

Our roading work largely involves fixing where we have dug down to repair and replace<br />

the earthquake damaged pipes beneath. The result may look a little patchy but we repair<br />

roads to a reliable and serviceable standard.<br />

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing repairs to the<br />

city's earthquake-damaged roads after SCIRT.<br />

Progress in your neighbourhood<br />

• Extensive repairs to the wastewater network in Upper Riccarton and Ilam will be<br />

completed next month.<br />

• Repairs to underground pipes and roading throughout the Hornby area are more than<br />

halfway through and will be complete in October this year.<br />

• Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale have begun and will be<br />

completed at the end of the year.<br />

• Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the SCIRT team.<br />

Bridal Show<br />

Plan your honeymoon<br />

THE COST and time it takes<br />

to organise a honeymoon can<br />

often be underestimated when<br />

couples are planning their<br />

weddings.<br />

But at Sunday’s With This<br />

Ring Bridal Show, there will be<br />

a number of exhibitors there<br />

to take the stress out of it.<br />

Hello World Travel’s<br />

Rangiora and Rolleston<br />

branches will be at the show,<br />

with a group of experts to talk<br />

to people who are looking into<br />

the planning.<br />

Rangiora branch managing<br />

director Liz Ditmer said<br />

often people had unrealistic<br />

expectations of how much<br />

honeymoons could cost.<br />

She said people also had to<br />

start planning their trips well<br />

in advance, and their teams<br />

would be at next Sunday’s<br />

show to help people do so.<br />

“We’re just there to start<br />

pointing them in the right<br />

direction,” she said.<br />

“We can make<br />

appointments and sit down<br />

with them at a later time to<br />

talk in more detail.”<br />

This year’s show will have<br />

85 exhibitors ranging from<br />

wedding and bridesmaid<br />

gowns, photography,<br />

honeymoons, flowers,<br />

stationary, caterers, venue hire<br />

and many more.<br />

On top of that, there will be<br />

more than $22,000 of prizes to<br />

be won.<br />

A wedding and honeymoon<br />

at Norfolk Island will be<br />

up for grabs, as well as a<br />

honeymoon at The Edgewater<br />

Resort and Spa in Rarotonga.<br />

Venue hire up to the value<br />

of $4050 for Wigram Base<br />

will be up for grabs, along<br />

with many more prizes and<br />

giveaways.<br />

Two fashion catwalks will<br />

be held, one at 11am and the<br />

other at 2pm, showcasing<br />

wedding gowns and mother of<br />

the bride outfits.<br />

•The With This Ring Bridal<br />

Show will be held at the<br />

Air Force Museum of<br />

New Zealand, Wigram,<br />

on Sunday (<strong>August</strong> 28),<br />

from 9.30am-4pm. Tickets<br />

are $15 and can be<br />

the day, or pre-sale tickets<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

Japanese<br />

students<br />

visit CGHS<br />

A GROUP of<br />

exchange students<br />

from Mukogawa,<br />

Japan, made<br />

themselves at home<br />

for about two weeks<br />

at Christchurch Girls’<br />

High School.<br />

Mokogawa High<br />

School travelled to<br />

New Zealand to experience<br />

the true kiwi<br />

lifestyle by attending<br />

school and living<br />

with billet families<br />

of students at CGHS<br />

recently.<br />

It is the second<br />

year CGHS have<br />

hosted students from<br />

Mokogawa High<br />

School.<br />

Prefect Jess Maindonald<br />

said it was<br />

apparent that there<br />

were many differences<br />

between living and<br />

attending school in<br />

Japan in comparison<br />

to New Zealand.<br />

“In Japan, none of<br />

the girls sit on the<br />

floor during classes<br />

or at break times.<br />

Similarly, they also do<br />

not use computers in<br />

class, instead doing all<br />

of their written work<br />

by hand,” she said.<br />

Jess said she found<br />

the Japanese students<br />

were fascinated by<br />

New Zealand culture.<br />

One of the students<br />

she spoke to said they<br />

thoroughly enjoyed<br />

learning about Maori<br />

culture and about selfdefence<br />

in PE.<br />

Principal Pauline<br />

Duthie said the school<br />

is looking to return<br />

Competitive and fun swimming<br />

and recreation at Wharenui<br />

When Coronation Pool opened in 1911 to celebrate King George V’s<br />

coronation, its future significance to new Zealand swimming might<br />

not have been realised.<br />

Wharenui Pool, as it is known today,<br />

has changed substantially over the years.<br />

now larger, the indoor pool caters for<br />

competitive training, social swimming and<br />

swimming lessons. The attached sports<br />

stadium which recently re-opened is also<br />

available for casual and organised use by<br />

individuals and groups, for basketball,<br />

badminton, volleyball and netball.<br />

“The stadium has one full size court or<br />

two smaller courts where people can play<br />

casually for as little as $6.00 or groups can<br />

use for organised events, in the daytime<br />

or evening,” explains Jackie nicol, General<br />

Manager of the Wharenui Sports Centre.<br />

The pool has also been home to the<br />

Wharenui amateur Swim Club since 1911<br />

and now has 100 registered swimmers<br />

including a junior squad.<br />

head coach, Martin harris has been with<br />

the club for the last eleven years. his high<br />

level of expertise and experience on how to<br />

compete at the top is one reason the club,<br />

has been one of the top ten swim clubs in<br />

new Zealand at the national competitions.<br />

Martin represented the united Kingdom at<br />

the Commonwealth Games, was part of an<br />

olympian team, and holds records in the<br />

united Kingdom for backstroke.<br />

another 150 to 200 non-competing<br />

swimmers use Wharenui Pool while many<br />

Christchurch schools also bus students to<br />

Wharenui for swimming lessons.<br />

Daytime and evening lessons are provided<br />

by a strong base of expert coaches who<br />

include mothers and university students<br />

with a background in swimming and<br />

coaching. Fiona Campbell, Secretary of the<br />

Wharenui Swim Club says the key is having<br />

coaches who can build a rapport with their<br />

learners so water confidence and skills<br />

develop.<br />

“Babies to mature adults learn to swim<br />

here,” adds Fiona. “Most children love water<br />

and love to play in it. We teach the basics<br />

and how to be safe in the water.”<br />

Wharenui pool is open daily: 6.30am-<br />

3.30pm (public use); 3.30pm –7.00pm (learn<br />

to swim/squads); evenings 7-9pm (public<br />

use); and weekends 9.00am–5.00pm (public<br />

use). The stadium is open: 8.30am-9pm for<br />

casual play or group bookings.<br />

Pop in for a swim, game or to check out<br />

the Kiwiana mural that was painted by<br />

Christchurch artist Dcypher (Guy ellis)<br />

who is currently working as an artist in the<br />

united States.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

BUSINESSES<br />

eStar working to<br />

attract best IT talent<br />

Nurturing new talent and better<br />

engaging employees will reach new<br />

heights at eStar, as the world class<br />

e-commerce platform and leading<br />

Christchurch tech company strives to<br />

attract the brightest IT professionals.<br />

eStar’s outreach activities look<br />

four to five years ahead, says Chief<br />

Operations Officer Kevin Rowland.<br />

eStar ‘lead team’ staff attend careers<br />

events, visit secondary schools and<br />

recently supported Shadowtech,<br />

with two female employees<br />

mentoring two secondary school girls for a day.<br />

The company is recruiting and will be looking<br />

for new talent at Ara Institute of Canterbury’s<br />

Industry Expo on 25 <strong>August</strong>, having previously<br />

employed Ara graduates (when Ara was CPIT).<br />

Finding the right skills mix for retail IT is<br />

challenging, Rowland says. With around 70<br />

staff, eStar designs and develops the software<br />

that powers the websites and the online retail<br />

systems of retailers including Briscoes and<br />

Country Road.<br />

Technical skills are of course essential, but ‘soft<br />

skills’ such as communication and interaction<br />

can really set candidates apart. “When we<br />

interview I am always looking for personality. We<br />

do a technical test/developer half day immersion<br />

and everybody freaks over the fact that it’s a tech<br />

test, but if you can do what you say on your CV<br />

then it’s not an issue. You’re in a live ‘dev’ room,<br />

with the people you are going to be working<br />

BURNSIDE HIGH School flanker Cam<br />

Russell was rewarded for his efforts<br />

during this year’s UC Championship at<br />

Saturday’s grand final.<br />

Russell was the joint winner of the<br />

Philip McDonald Memorial Medal with<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School No 8 Cruz<br />

Topai-Aveai.<br />

Former winners of the medal include<br />

the likes of super rugby players Damian<br />

McKenzie and Mitchell Drummond.<br />

The UC Championship was decided on<br />

Saturday when Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School defeated Shirley Boys’ 21-20.<br />

The winner of the medal is decided<br />

by opposition coaches throughout the<br />

season. After each game they submit who<br />

they think were the top three performers<br />

on the opposition side.<br />

Russell is in his fourth season with the<br />

first XV. He made his Burnside debut<br />

in 2013 as a year 10. He was part of the<br />

Burnside team that conceded 100 points<br />

against CBHS that season.<br />

Now in his second season as the team’s<br />

captain, Russell has played a large part in<br />

Burnside’s rise in the UC Championship.<br />

He scored nine tries last year and has<br />

gone one better this year with 10.<br />

The flanker now has the chance to<br />

help his team win entry to the national<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Reclaim your<br />

identity<br />

When it comes to dentures, Christchurch people<br />

have access to world-leading techniques and oral<br />

aesthetics right on their doorstep.<br />

At his Montreal street studio Lovebite,<br />

internationally renowned dental<br />

technician Richard Greenlees creates<br />

beautiful bespoke dentures with small<br />

nuances in the fabrication, colour and<br />

shape, and even slight imperfections to<br />

create a uniquely individual smile.<br />

There is no need for dentures to look<br />

false. Richard takes a great deal of<br />

satisfaction in making bespoke dentures<br />

that look 100 per cent real and natural,<br />

personally guiding his patients through<br />

the transformation process to craft a<br />

smile that reflects their individuality and<br />

personality, and recreates their natural<br />

pre-denture smile.<br />

Not only do Lovebite teeth look<br />

real, the whole structure and shape of<br />

the patient’s face is transformed with<br />

Richard’s top-of-the-line dentures,<br />

something he calls his signature ‘denture<br />

lift’.<br />

“With appropriate facial support, the<br />

facial tissues are brought back into the<br />

correct position, the lips are reformed,<br />

and beauty is restored,” he says.<br />

it is the interior architecture of a<br />

Lovebite denture that helps to create a<br />

more youthful appearance by recovering<br />

the face and skeletal shape that can be<br />

lost after years of wearing dentures.<br />

As the smile is transformed, so are the<br />

patient’s confidence, and the way they<br />

feel about themselves.<br />

Richard’s vast experience includes<br />

15 years of running his own clinic in<br />

the prestigious harley st, London,<br />

where he treated people from all walks<br />

of life, from barrow boys to the rich<br />

and famous, politicians, actors and<br />

musicians.<br />

his techniques are recognised as<br />

world-leading among his international<br />

peers, and he is regularly asked to<br />

lecture and run courses worldwide.<br />

Miles Cone (DMD, Ms, FACP, CDt),<br />

a prosthodontist from Oregon, UsA,<br />

said in November 2015: “Richard<br />

Greenlees’ craftsmanship is as stunning<br />

as it is unique. There is liberation in<br />

the calculated imperfection, indeed an<br />

asperity that reflects a purely human<br />

element.”<br />

in addition to dentures, Richard also<br />

carries out crown and bridge, veneer<br />

and implant work, in conjunction<br />

with like-minded dental surgeons who<br />

complement his creative and aesthetic<br />

work.<br />

“teeth are as different as fingerprints<br />

and vary greatly depending on a person’s<br />

age, sex and race. Dentures from<br />

Lovebite reflect this, and are as unique<br />

and individual as the people they are<br />

made for,” says Richard.<br />

There is nothing more satisfying for<br />

Richard than to see his patients leave<br />

the Lovebite studio with their selfconfidence<br />

and identity restored, as well<br />

as their smile.<br />

Confidence and beauty is restored with a new<br />

denture by Lovebite.<br />

As the smile is transformed, so are the<br />

patient’s confidence, and the way they<br />

feel about themselves.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Proven<br />

formula<br />

combats<br />

colds & flu<br />

Research has shown certain herbs and natural<br />

ingredients can dramatically reduce the chances<br />

of succumbing to colds and flu.<br />

One example of a proven formula is Go<br />

Healthy ‘Go Vir-Defence’. Due to the high<br />

potency extracts it contains, one or two capsules<br />

daily are usually sufficient to keep the immune<br />

system at optimum efficiency; however, at the<br />

onset of headaches, sore throat, body aches<br />

etc. the dose should be increased to one or two<br />

capsules up to three times daily.<br />

Go Vir-Defence contains: Olive Leaf Extract<br />

- a popular ingredient used in the treatment of<br />

immune attacks for its strong anti-microbial<br />

properties.<br />

Garlic Extract - effective in combatting<br />

bacteria, viruses and fungi and supporting the<br />

immune system. Andrographis Extract - has<br />

powerful immune-enhancing properties.<br />

Echinacea Extract - a natural antibiotic and<br />

infection fighter.<br />

Pau D’ Arco Extract - helps enhance the<br />

immune system.<br />

Citrus Bioflavonoids - work with Vitamin<br />

C and support the immune system as well<br />

as strengthening capillaries and reducing<br />

inflammation.<br />

Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant that helps<br />

counteract bacteria and viral infections.<br />

Elderberry Extract - provides immune support.<br />

Zinc - an essential mineral for the immune<br />

system and general health.<br />

Vir-Defence is<br />

Essential<br />

nutrients for<br />

health & vitality<br />

After noticing patients were<br />

experiencing gut, bowel and<br />

digestive issues that often led to<br />

more serious chronic health<br />

conditions, two Australian<br />

Naturopaths conducted<br />

extensive research. This<br />

revealed that although<br />

the patients were generally<br />

eating good food, they were not<br />

obtaining all the nutrients required<br />

for good health, with one of the<br />

main problems being the digestive<br />

system.<br />

Also, with the soils crops are<br />

grown in being depleted of many<br />

trace elements and other essential<br />

nutrients, the crops are also<br />

depleted.<br />

If we do not obtain all the<br />

required nutrients, our body will<br />

compensate to some degree, but<br />

a lack of too many nutrients will<br />

eventually lead to health issues.<br />

Knowing this, the naturopaths<br />

developed Vital Greens, a nutrientdense<br />

powdered formula that<br />

provides superior absorption and<br />

comprehensive nutrition.<br />

Vital Greens contains a balanced<br />

blend of nutritionally rich<br />

Father’s Day -<br />

Keep Dad on<br />

his toes<br />

Every three hours a New Zealand man dies from a<br />

preventable disease. Yet most “blokes” wait until<br />

something goes wrong before seeking help!<br />

Men are not as diligent at taking<br />

care of themselves as women,<br />

according to health practitioners<br />

around the world.<br />

So men, what about some<br />

preventative maintenance for<br />

your body, as you would give your<br />

car? And women, let’s try harder<br />

to encourage our men to take care<br />

of themselves. Small lifestyle<br />

changes can prevent or delay the<br />

onset of many health problems.<br />

When diabetes, arthritis or<br />

stiff, aching joints are a problem,<br />

and more time is spent sitting,<br />

it’s important to have an easy and<br />

enjoyable way to remain active.<br />

Participating in sports or not,<br />

watching TV, reading the paper,<br />

or talking on the phone, an<br />

Aircycle circulation booster can<br />

keep you moving while you sit..<br />

Keeping Dad on his toes with<br />

a Father’s Day gift of an Aircycle<br />

Davis Cup event returns to Christchurch<br />

The New Zealand Davis<br />

Cup team are heading back to<br />

Christchurch to take on Pakistan in<br />

the Asia-Oceania Group 1 second<br />

round playoff. The Tie is being<br />

held from Friday 16 September to<br />

Sunday 18 September, indoors at<br />

Z Energy Wilding Park.<br />

Kiwi Olympians Michael Venus<br />

and Marcus Daniell ranked 41<br />

and 58 respective in the world<br />

for doubles have been named<br />

alongside Finn Tearney ranked<br />

381, Rubin Statham at 444 in<br />

singles. If Statham takes the court<br />

he will beat Onny Parun’s New<br />

Zealand Davis Cup record of the<br />

most ties played for his country of<br />

25 ties.<br />

It is likely Pakistan will select<br />

their doubles expert Aisam<br />

Qureshi who is 36-years-old and<br />

ranked 48th in doubles. Aqeel<br />

Khan is another likely veteran<br />

who should be selected.<br />

New Zealand lead Pakistan<br />

3-1 in head-to-head clashes. The<br />

last time the two sides clashed it<br />

was a 4-1 win for New Zealand<br />

in Myanmar in 2013 which was<br />

abandoned.<br />

Christchurch has been the home<br />

of Davis Cup ties since 2014, with<br />

a win against Chinese Taipei in<br />

2014 and a close 3-2 loss to India<br />

in the 2015 semi-finals. Tennis<br />

Canterbury is extremely excited<br />

to host yet another Davis Cup tie<br />

for the third consecutive year. This<br />

is a return to the glory days that<br />

has seen Tennis Canterbury host<br />

numerous Davis Cup ties against<br />

some of the superpower of world<br />

tennis.<br />

Z Energy Wilding Park is one<br />

of the oldest sport venues still in<br />

operation in all of Canterbury.<br />

It has played host to Davis<br />

Cup matches as far back as the<br />

1910’s and 20’s. Much like many<br />

of Christchurch’s other most<br />

important sporting facilities<br />

Wilding Park was severely<br />

impacted by the Christchurch<br />

Earthquake impacted in both<br />

September 2009 and February<br />

2010.<br />

The rebuilding process has<br />

been a long one. Mixed emotions<br />

were felt at the demolition of the<br />

iconic Memorial Stands, host to<br />

numerous Davis Cup Tie and other<br />

International Tennis Federation<br />

events. However it was also the first<br />

bit of tangible progress in relation<br />

to the redevelopment of Wilding<br />

Park and proved to generate<br />

some real excitement amongst the<br />

tennis community. Strengthening<br />

work on the facility’s structural<br />

steel and refurbishment of the<br />

administration and function<br />

space erased any signs of the<br />

earthquake damage and provided<br />

the wider community with some<br />

great function space.<br />

The final stage of development<br />

will see the reinstatement of<br />

six additional outdoor courts,<br />

the development of a grassy<br />

embankment for spectator viewing<br />

and social spaces, including a<br />

barbeque area. The facility will<br />

continue to be available to the<br />

local communities, including<br />

school, charitable organisations<br />

and, in some cases, other sports<br />

outside of normal hours. The<br />

final stage of development work<br />

is scheduled to be gin in the<br />

coming month with a completion<br />

date of mid November, just in<br />

time for the Summer of Tennis.<br />

This development will allow<br />

Canterbury to again host National<br />

Age Group events, International<br />

Events and, of course, future<br />

Summer Davis Cup ties.<br />

This year’s Davis Cup tie is a<br />

three day event. Two singles will<br />

be played on Friday, doubles on<br />

Saturday and the two reverse<br />

singles on Sunday. Matches are<br />

the best of five sets. Tickets and<br />

Corporate Boxes are available.<br />

Cantabrian Tennis Player USA Bound<br />

On the 1st June <strong>2016</strong>, Jack Tiller<br />

signed a national letter of intent<br />

with Southeastern Oklahoma State<br />

University, located in Durant,<br />

Oklahoma, USA.<br />

From the age of 15 Jack’s overall<br />

goal in tennis was to gain a<br />

scholarship to train, play and study<br />

in the United States of America.<br />

Through taking part in Canterbury<br />

Performance squads since the age of<br />

12, he constantly saw older players<br />

being granted scholarships and<br />

given opportunities to experience<br />

American lifestyle through<br />

tennis while gaining invaluable<br />

experiences. Seeing others excel<br />

in the college tennis system<br />

encouraged him to start<br />

preparation for enrolment in<br />

Fall <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

In October of 2015, Jack<br />

got in contact with John<br />

Gardner, the head coach in<br />

the Nelson/Marlborough region<br />

and his company, Inspire Sports.<br />

John’s expertise guided Jack<br />

through a comprehensive checklist<br />

of what he needed to achieve to<br />

reach his ultimate goal of signing<br />

with a college that fitted in well with<br />

what he wanted. John’s personalised<br />

programme was a great help. It<br />

began with initial meetings with<br />

Jack and his father so John could<br />

understand what they were looking<br />

for in a college. John then set out a<br />

‘Plan of attack” on how they would<br />

go about getting a contract. They<br />

began working together through<br />

each stage, which included NCAA<br />

registration, skills video, personal<br />

website, SAT and GPA results and<br />

working through what colleges Jack<br />

wanted to contact. Jack believes that<br />

it would not have been possible for<br />

him to work through everything<br />

that needed to be done without<br />

John’s outstanding expertise and<br />

knowledge. Jack found John’s<br />

attention to detail and reliability to<br />

be outstanding.<br />

Jack began talks with the coach<br />

from Southeastern Oklahoma State<br />

University in March of this year. The<br />

coach expressed his interest in Jack<br />

joining the college team and, after<br />

talking through email, the college<br />

made an offer for Jack to attend<br />

their college and become part of the<br />

Savage Storm athletic family. After<br />

the initial paper work, Jack signed a<br />

national letter of intent, committing<br />

Jack to attending the university.<br />

Through his years of training,<br />

Jack’s ultimate goal was to get to<br />

university. Jack is a self-professed<br />

‘late bloomer’ in tennis. During his<br />

junior years, he describes himself as<br />

a mediocre player who was always<br />

outside the top player category.<br />

Through growth, maturity and the<br />

help of the Canterbury training<br />

programme, he was able to play<br />

smarter tennis and achieve positive<br />

results. Coaching by Alistair Hunt<br />

and Matt Meredith has afforded<br />

Jack the opportunity to learn from<br />

the best and use their expertise on<br />

court, creating a huge advantage.<br />

Jack has represented Canterbury<br />

in multiple ties including<br />

Canterbury vs Marlborough,<br />

City vs Country, Canterbury<br />

team’s event and also the<br />

Canterbury men’s team. In 2015<br />

he won the under 18 Canterbury<br />

Championships, a great result to put<br />

on his college application form.<br />

Jack has always loved the fact that<br />

tennis is mostly an individual sport,<br />

results are based on a player’s own<br />

ability and there are no excuses. Jack<br />

has always enjoyed competing in<br />

Canterbury Interclub representing<br />

his club of Elmwood. He is grateful<br />

to Ashley Forbes for giving him<br />

the opportunity to play top level<br />

tennis in the premiere grade against<br />

great players like James Meredith,<br />

Remi Fennon and other top rated<br />

players in the region. Jack feels that<br />

it through playing top level players<br />

that he has learned the most, even if<br />

it involved losing.<br />

During tennis season, Jack trains<br />

or plays every day of the week. Each<br />

week also includes four sessions of<br />

hitting, two fitness sessions and two<br />

days of interclub matches on the<br />

weekends. During the off season<br />

Jack keeps training with hitting<br />

three days a week and a fitness<br />

session and match play on the<br />

weekends.<br />

Jack chooses to keep his future<br />

goals simple. His immediate goal<br />

is to do the best he can to prepare<br />

for college and to give himself the<br />

best chance of success. For Jack,<br />

this means being fit and healthy,<br />

requiring him to train as well as he<br />

can every time he gets on the court.<br />

Over the long term, Jack plans to<br />

take every opportunity he can at<br />

Southeastern Oklahoma State in<br />

order to reach his full potential<br />

whilst there, not just in tennis, but<br />

also in academic life.<br />

For younger players aspiring to<br />

play college tennis, Jack’s advice is<br />

to never give up. Jack recalls many<br />

moments in his time of playing<br />

tennis when he thought he wasn’t<br />

good enough, or wasn’t able to<br />

compete to his full potential. Not<br />

TENNIS CANTERBURY <strong>2016</strong> / 2017 CALENDAR<br />

being the best player in the region<br />

or the nation is not a problem;<br />

it’s a challenge. By embracing<br />

that challenge, working hard and<br />

training, it is possible to shorten the<br />

gap between the different levels in<br />

order to compete in top level tennis.<br />

Have a goal and go for it!<br />

Jack invites anyone interested in<br />

college tennis to feel free to ask any<br />

questions. He will be happy to try<br />

and answer!<br />

Reaching out to a<br />

new generation<br />

Hagley Park Tennis Club intends to put<br />

tennis within reach of a new generation<br />

with new programmes and initiatives<br />

designed for today’s busy families. Tim<br />

Preston, who will soon assume the role<br />

of club President, plans to breathe new<br />

life into the club by offering a fresh array<br />

of functions and activities. Along with<br />

deputy coordinator, Christine Yap, and<br />

club coach, Mark Belcher, Tim hopes<br />

to attract new players to the sport with<br />

alternatives that are approachable and<br />

fun.<br />

“Hagley Park Tennis Club has been<br />

doing too much of the same things for too<br />

long,” Tim said. “We need new ideas to<br />

bring in new people.”<br />

One of the initiatives on offer is the<br />

Tennis Hot Shots Community Play<br />

programme, which will be offered on<br />

Saturday afternoons through school terms.<br />

Community Play offers the opportunity<br />

for kids to try tennis in a friendly<br />

environment with an emphasis on having<br />

fun. Hagley Park Tennis Club’s Tennis Hot<br />

Shots community play programme will be<br />

available free to members or otherwise a<br />

gold coin donation throughout summer<br />

(Term 4 of this year and Term 1 of 2017).<br />

Let’s not forget the parents. With 28<br />

courts at their disposal, Hagley Park<br />

Tennis Club sweetens the offer with adult<br />

play sessions running simultaneously to<br />

the Tennis Hot Shots programme. Parents<br />

can do more than stand around and<br />

watch their kids play. By running both<br />

sessions at the same time, the tennis club<br />

hopes to attract families across a variety<br />

of age groups, promoting tennis as a sport<br />

that the entire family can enjoy. Situated<br />

next to Hagley Park’s rugby pitch, the<br />

tennis club also provides an alternative for<br />

families seeking to occupy children while<br />

siblings are involved in other sport.<br />

Many of Hagley Park’s tennis courts<br />

have natural lawn surfaces, with lines<br />

painted on each week. This allows the<br />

club to provide a smaller format Hot<br />

Shots court for children. It also provides<br />

the perfect surface for another of the<br />

tennis club’s initiatives, Summer League.<br />

Summer League will be offered<br />

on Tuesdays after work starting on<br />

25th October and will offer team<br />

competition for social tennis players.<br />

The format is more casual than that of<br />

traditional Business House.<br />

Other programmes at Hagley Park<br />

Tennis Club include:<br />

HAGLEY PARK TENNIS CLUB<br />

offers four FREE lessons for new<br />

members. The club offers heaps<br />

of social activities and three kinds<br />

of court surfaces. Experience the<br />

advantages of the largest tennis club<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

HOT SHOTS coaching comes to<br />

Hagley Park for kids aged three years<br />

and up. Come and have a try at one<br />

of our junior open days, Saturday<br />

10th and 17th September from 9am.<br />

Holiday Programme 26-29 September<br />

TWILIGHT SOCIAL TENNIS<br />

to meet people and have fun -- no<br />

matter how bad you think you are!<br />

If you can pop a ball over the net,<br />

give this a try. Also for the more<br />

experienced player. Balls provided.<br />

Prizes awarded. Games sponsored<br />

by Trevino’s Bar & Restaurant. Starts<br />

Cardio Tennis uses low-compression tennis<br />

balls which travel at a slower speed, making<br />

it easier for a beginner to hit the ball. More<br />

advanced players will be challenged by a<br />

range of activities that cater to all skill levels.<br />

Cardio Tennis works by raising participants’<br />

heart rates into their aerobic training zone. At<br />

the beginning of each session, participants<br />

are equipped with heart rate monitors before<br />

exercising to music and using a variety of<br />

modified equipment to elevate the heart<br />

rate. Like interval training, periods of high<br />

intensity are followed by short periods of rest.<br />

Cardio Tennis combines fun with<br />

spectacular success. Women can burn up to<br />

500 calories in a 60 minute workout. Men<br />

can burn up to 800 calories. Cardio Tennis<br />

coaches are Tennis NZ registered and trained<br />

to ensure that participants get a great workout<br />

while improving their tennis skills.<br />

Even if you’re not good at tennis, Cardio<br />

Tennis can provide a fun, social way to keep<br />

fit. Contact Tennis Canterbury to find a<br />
