Feedback<br />

sought on<br />

location,<br />

features<br />

of $21m<br />

Linwood<br />

Woolston<br />

Pool<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

COMMUNITY consultation is<br />

about to start on the $21 million<br />

Linwood Woolston Pool.<br />

At its meeting yesterday, the<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board tabled a<br />

document which will go out to the<br />

community in the next four to six<br />

weeks to gather feedback on the<br />

pool’s location and features of the<br />

facility.<br />

In a report, city council staff<br />

said the consultation would “support<br />

a fully informed decision on<br />

the selection of a site and gather<br />

additional feedback on community<br />

requirements/expectations of<br />

the facility.”<br />

Feedback will then be taken<br />

into consideration during the<br />

development of the pool’s concept<br />

plan, which is expected to be<br />

started in July.<br />

FINALLY, WE have some action on the<br />

long-running saga of a pool in Linwood/<br />

Woolston.<br />

Community consultation is about to<br />

begin on the $21 million project. In the<br />

next four to six weeks the public will be able to have their say on<br />

where it should be and what features they would like.<br />

This step has been a very long time coming but there is light,<br />

albeit still distant, at the end of the tunnel.<br />

The area needs a pool and somewhere along Linwood Ave is<br />

probably a good spot.<br />

On the facilities front, great news for Parklands and<br />

Queenspark – stage 1 of the Pukeko Centre has opened.<br />

Lots of hard work has gone in by the community.<br />

Pier scaffolding recovered<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

DIVERS HELPED recover the<br />

scaffolding which broke loose<br />

from the New Brighton Pier<br />

during Cyclone Gita.<br />

The high tide and large waves<br />

on Wednesday caused one of the<br />

scaffolding’s gantries to fall into<br />

the sea.<br />

Divers and a boat, along<br />

with an excavator, winches and<br />

cables, were used last week to<br />

recover the metal framework.<br />

City council contractors were<br />

forced to remove scaffolding<br />

boards and wind down<br />

operations on the pier during<br />

Cyclone Gita as a precaution.<br />

“There is likely to be debris<br />

near the beach that poses a<br />

potential hazard to surfers,” city<br />

council staff said.<br />

Contractors have been<br />

working since the start of<br />

the year to repair columns<br />

which sustained damage in<br />

the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

The $9.7 million pier repairs<br />

are set to be completed next<br />

month.<br />

REPAIRS TO CLOCK<br />

Scaffolding has been erected<br />

to mark the beginning of<br />

repairs to the New Brighton<br />

clock tower. Structural<br />

engineers will start to<br />

complete investigations about<br />

the damage sustained. Some<br />

damage has been caused from<br />

the earthquakes, however<br />

other is historical damage.<br />

Parklands sports centre opens pavilion<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

STAGE ONE of a multi-use<br />

sports and recreation facility in<br />

Parklands was officially opened<br />

on Saturday by Mayor Lianne<br />

Dalziel.<br />

The first stage of the Pukeko<br />

Centre consists of a clubrooms<br />

and pavilion, which is located<br />

on the grounds of the Parklands<br />

Bowling Club.<br />

The pavilion project cost more<br />

than $1 million and includes a<br />

bar, lounge area, separate office,<br />

meeting rooms and a commercial<br />

kitchen.<br />

There is also seating for up to<br />

200 people and a viewing deck<br />

looking out on to the bowling<br />

green.<br />

The centre is a joint venture<br />

between the bowling club and<br />

Parklands Rugby Football Club,<br />

which will also use the facility’s<br />

clubrooms.<br />

The bowling club’s facilities<br />

were damaged beyond repair<br />

in the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011, earthquake<br />

and the rugby club has<br />

been without a clubrooms for<br />

three years.<br />

Two buildings, a school hall<br />

and a ‘modern learning studio’<br />

were relocated to the site from<br />

the former Freeville School.<br />

Centre spokeswoman Jane<br />

Mahoney said it was “a stroke of<br />

genius” to approach the Ministry<br />

of Education to relocate the<br />

buildings, which were earmarked<br />

for demolition.<br />

The ministry then gifted the<br />

buildings to the two clubs.<br />

Mrs Mahoney said parents of<br />

former Freeville School pupils<br />

were “thrilled” the buildings<br />

were not demolished. A big<br />

fundraising effort from the community<br />

led to the development of<br />

The next stages of the project<br />

include turning the school hall<br />

into a multi-use sports hall,<br />

building an outdoor all-weather<br />

sports court, landscaping and car<br />

parking.<br />

Grants from the New Zealand<br />

Community Trust, Rata Foundation<br />

and Southern Trust are<br />

being used to fund the development.<br />

Local businesses and trades<br />

people have also offered their<br />

time and money.<br />

Mrs Mahoney said there had<br />

been “thousands” of volunteer<br />

hours put in already.<br />

The opening was attended by<br />

150 guests, including Christchurch<br />

East MP Poto Williams,<br />

community representatives,<br />

sponsors and members from the<br />

two sport clubs.<br />

Feedback sought<br />

on $21m Linwood<br />

Woolston pool<br />

•From page 1<br />

The city council has allocated<br />

about $21.6 million in its Long<br />

Term Plan for the facility and<br />

outlined its preferred location as<br />

the nursery site at Linwood Park,<br />

near the corner of Linwood Ave<br />

and Smith St.<br />

“This location meets all<br />

our criteria, which makes it a<br />

standout option for the community.<br />

Currently this section of<br />

Linwood Park is an old nursery<br />

that is no longer used and has<br />

good quality land that is already<br />

owned by the city council,” the<br />

report said.<br />

Other benefits of the Linwood<br />

Park site include proximity to<br />

Eastgate Shopping Centre and<br />

the Linwood Library. There is<br />

also a major cycleway next to the<br />

site and room for the facility to<br />

grow.<br />

Further possible locations<br />

identified include Woolston<br />

Park, 180 Smith St, the Linwood<br />

Service Centre, an alternative<br />

location on Linwood Park and<br />

Bromley Park.<br />

Construction of the pool is not<br />

expected to start until the end of<br />

next year and be completed in<br />

2021.<br />

“Once this round of engagement<br />

has closed . . . a recommendation<br />

on where it should<br />

be built will be made to the<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board. At this stage,<br />

we expect that they will decide<br />

on a site mid-<strong>2018</strong>,” the consultation<br />

document said.<br />

There will be a second round of<br />

consultation regarding the facility’s<br />

concept design.<br />

“We expect this will kick off<br />

early in the second half of <strong>2018</strong>.”<br />

The former Woolston Outdoor<br />

Pool, which was next to the old<br />

Woolston School, was removed<br />

in 2006.<br />

The community has been campaigning<br />

for a new one for years.<br />

NATIVE FISH, including eels<br />

and whitebait, are being rescued<br />

from the Linwood Canal to<br />

ensure their survival while a new<br />

cycleway is built.<br />

Work on the second stage of<br />

the Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway<br />

along Linwood Ave between Linwood<br />

Park and Dyers Rd started<br />

in early January.<br />

A cofferdam – an enclosure<br />

built in the water to create<br />

a dry work environment for<br />

construction – is being built in<br />

the Linwood Canal to widen the<br />

shoulder of Linwood Ave.<br />

Water will be drained from<br />

the cofferdam leaving resident<br />

fish – likely including eels,<br />

inanga (whitebait) and common<br />

bullies – marooned if they’re not<br />

removed first.<br />

WPS Opus Ecologist Annabelle<br />

Coates, who is carrying<br />

out the rescue mission for the<br />

city council, is unsure how many<br />

fish she will find: “We’re not<br />

expecting huge numbers because<br />

traditionally the Linwood Canal<br />

hasn’t been that diverse, however,<br />

we could be surprised by the<br />

numbers and species as that has<br />

been known to happen at other<br />

locations.”<br />

She is hopeful there could be<br />

some endangered long-finned<br />

eels living in the canal.<br />

Ms Coates will use fyke nets<br />

to catch as many fish in the<br />

cofferdam as possible before collecting<br />

the rest using an electric<br />

fishing machine that attracts<br />

and then stuns the fish. She’ll<br />

remove them from the water in a<br />

net before releasing them in the<br />

main part of the canal. The process<br />

does not harm the fish and<br />

is deliberately being carried out<br />

outside of spawning season.<br />

The ecologist will also be on<br />

hand when water is drained from<br />

the cofferdam in case there are<br />

any fish left behind. “The council<br />

has an obligation to protect<br />

native fish and to maintain fish<br />

passage so this has to be done<br />

and it’s an easy thing to do to<br />

save them,” she says.<br />

These intersections need replacing.<br />

We’re digging them out and rebuilding<br />

them to extend their lifespan.<br />

Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.<br />

If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –<br />

we’ll be back again soon.<br />

The intersections will remain rougher<br />

whether it has<br />

been an effective tool in<br />

getting problems solved<br />

within the community<br />

ONE THING I love about our<br />

local community is how people<br />

aren’t afraid to call it how it is<br />

and to take some action to solve<br />

problems.<br />

In spite of not always feeling<br />

the love in terms of service, it’s in<br />

our nature to give things a go and<br />

get things done.<br />

One of the best tools I have<br />

found lately is the Snap Send<br />

Solve app. It allows you to take<br />

CLICK: Dallington resident Patrick Boland uses the Snap Send<br />

and Solve app to report issues in his community to the city<br />

council and ECan.<br />

pictures with your phone and<br />

report problems (like pollution,<br />

etc) to both the city council and<br />

Environment Canterbury.<br />

You can log something and<br />

straight away it goes into these<br />

organisations’ tracking systems<br />

and usually the results are<br />

good.<br />

It can be used to report issues<br />

with graffiti, rubbish, parks,<br />

roads, waterways and so on.<br />

I love it because I have a phobia<br />

of using telephones and I can<br />

log problems and know they got<br />

to the right place and are being<br />

tracked.<br />

I have found it particularly<br />

useful with getting rid of graffiti<br />

and rubbish dumped in our<br />

corner of the red zone.<br />

Snap Send Solve was also<br />

effective in getting a faded<br />

pedestrian crossing painted so<br />

that motorists could see it and<br />

stop.<br />

This was done within a week of<br />

the request.<br />

Where hasn’t it been so<br />

effective for me?<br />

I reported a problem with<br />

traffic light phasing, where there<br />

are often 12 cars queued during<br />

peak hours and the lights were<br />

letting two to three cars out per<br />

phase.<br />

In spite of backing up my<br />

report with pictures and<br />

timings, I was told there was<br />

no problem and no changes<br />

would be made.<br />

It often depends on who<br />

receives your report.<br />

Also, once I reported a large<br />

amount of sediment dumped into<br />

a waterway and ECan only got<br />

the report two days later.<br />

So maybe sometimes you still<br />

do need to use that telephone.<br />

Readers respond to an<br />

article about trees in South<br />

New Brighton Domain<br />

which could fall at anytime,<br />

according to Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board<br />

deputy chairman Tim Sintes<br />

Maria Mann – Those trees<br />

have been unsafe for weeks. My<br />

dad, my son and myself walk in<br />

the domain. They should have<br />

been removed a while ago.<br />

Andrew Gold – Lock everyone<br />

inside, it’s too unsafe outside.<br />

Just leave it alone.<br />

Tess Lenihan – Not happening.<br />

Too much money has<br />

been spent already. They’ve<br />

increased rates for that church<br />

and are pondering fuel tax for<br />

road repairs. I’d hate to see where<br />

they get money from for general<br />

maintenance.<br />

Peter Cooper – That’s just<br />

the top roots . . . how far down do<br />

they actually go?<br />

Andrew McDrury – Yes,<br />

well that one is clearly toast.<br />

It’s hard to imagine why you<br />

wouldn’t assess the rest.<br />

HANGING ON: Tim Sintes (inset) says damaged trees in the<br />

South New Brighton Domain are a health and safety concern.<br />

Jo Garrick – Simple answer,<br />

yes. The question should not have<br />

even been asked, safety first.<br />

Mark McLaren – They will<br />

have to put the rates up to be able<br />

to get to this.<br />

John Le Riche – Sadly, yes,<br />

they should go, it’s an accident<br />

waiting too happen.<br />

Vanessa Penney – It’s not<br />

rocket science, if they are dangerous<br />

they go.<br />

Keep QE II in the East<br />

spokeswoman Jo Zervos<br />

responds to Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board<br />

member Linda Stewart’s<br />

soapbox about the need<br />

for a 50m pool at the new<br />

recreation and sport centre<br />

The Keep QE II in the East<br />

group are supportive of Linda<br />

Stewart’s proposal for extra pool<br />

space at the new QE II facility.<br />

There is so much excitement in<br />

our community for the impending<br />

opening of the new facility in<br />

June. However, we are concerned<br />

not everyone in our community<br />

will get a fair opportunity to<br />

use it. There are so many clubs,<br />

groups and individuals wanting<br />

to use the new facility, along with<br />

the thousands of school children<br />

from the area.<br />

Lane swimmers, aqua-joggers,<br />

swim clubs, water polo players<br />

and leisure swimmers will have<br />

to fit in around city council-run<br />

programmes and classes.<br />

We have always opposed the<br />

QE II replacement complex being<br />

built in the city. QE II has always<br />

been the perfect site, with links<br />

to other recreational sites (river,<br />

beaches, forest, red zone, wetlands)<br />

and it is the perfect area to<br />

host triathlons, which would use<br />

a 50m pool.<br />

The original QE II facility was<br />

built with a huge amount of local<br />

community input. The insurance<br />

money from QE II should have<br />

been fully reinvested in a replacement<br />

facility in the east.<br />

Christchurch is in dire need<br />

of a 50m competition pool, and<br />

with the proposed metro centre<br />

in doubt, surely an alternative site<br />

should be considered.<br />

By the time Christchurch gets<br />

a replacement competition pool,<br />

a full decade of swimmers have<br />

missed out.<br />

We propose that one of the<br />

quickest and economical options<br />

for the city is to add on to the<br />

new QE II facility.<br />

MORE THAN 350 young<br />

athletes swam and ran for medals<br />

in the southern region junior<br />

Reader Shirley Forbes<br />

responds to Linda<br />

Stewart’s soapbox about<br />

the need for a 50m pool at<br />

the new QE II facility<br />

As co-ordinator of the QE II<br />

early birds and over 50s club<br />

with Willie Pitama and Nellie<br />

Evans, our group sincerely<br />

wishes to support<br />

Linda Stewart to<br />

get a 50m pool<br />

added to the city<br />

council’s 10-year<br />

plan.<br />

Our group has<br />

been operating<br />

social events<br />

for more than<br />

30 years and<br />

still meets at<br />

least once a<br />

month since<br />

the earthquakes<br />

to keep our<br />

members in touch.<br />

They are spread all over the<br />

city and country now.<br />

So many competitive<br />

swimmers, water polo players,<br />

surf lifesavers, in fact all water<br />

sports have suffered so much<br />

and need reassurance that a<br />

replacement 50m pool is in the<br />

Linda Stewart<br />

surf lifesaving championships on<br />

<strong>February</strong> 17 and 18.<br />

Athletes from eight clubs across<br />

Otago and Canterbury competed<br />

in the annual event which was<br />

pipeline to keep their aspirations<br />

alive and heading towards their<br />

goals.<br />

My son Grant broke the<br />

Christchurch secondary schools<br />

record when he qualified for<br />

the Commonwealth Games in<br />

Brisbane in 1982.<br />

Isn’t it ridiculous that no one<br />

gets the chance to break that<br />

record for more<br />

than 36 years,<br />

simply because we<br />

have no competition<br />

pool for our young<br />

athletes to swim in?<br />

The athletic<br />

track also has<br />

taken so long that<br />

a lot of families<br />

have to go to the<br />

added expense of<br />

relocating their<br />

athletes or families.<br />

We all hope<br />

the Christchurch<br />

community will get behind this<br />

recommendation as it is vital for<br />

our different sports to continue<br />

at a high level in Canterbury.<br />

Now would be the best time<br />

to build before building prices<br />

escalate higher and higher.<br />

Luckily, we have plenty of<br />

land at QE II for this important<br />

project.<br />

held at New Brighton beach.<br />

The events included sprints,<br />

beach flags, board races, board<br />

rescues, relays and swimming<br />

races.<br />

The athletes ranged in ages<br />

from seven to 14.<br />

North Beach Surf Life<br />

Saving Club secretary Emma<br />

Derrick said the day was a<br />

success for the North Beach<br />

athletes, especially considering<br />

many of them are new to the<br />

sport this season.<br />

“It was a really enjoyable day, a<br />

lot of the children got to gain<br />

new experience and<br />

competition.”<br />

Mrs Derrick said a large<br />

amount of the club’s athletes<br />

made the finals and took home<br />

medals.<br />

New lease of life for<br />

Avebury House<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

AVEBURY HOUSE Community<br />

Trust will receive $11,500 to go<br />

towards its three-year plan to<br />

re-establish the role the historic<br />

building plays in the community.<br />

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board approved<br />

the grant last week which will<br />

come out of its strengthening<br />

communities fund.<br />

Located in Richmond, the<br />

trust’s aim is to renew itself as a<br />

community development organisation<br />

and social enterprise.<br />

The house is now part of the<br />

residential red zone. The trust offers<br />

free or low cost activities for<br />

people to socialise at the house.<br />

The funding will cover wages<br />

for a new employee, an upgrade<br />

to the kitchen, an ICT upgrade<br />

and other expenses.<br />

The new employee will have<br />

a community development role<br />

and will be tasked with finding<br />

out what local people need.<br />

The trust will also carry out<br />

surveys using social media and<br />

phone campaigns in an attempt<br />

to get a further understanding<br />

of how it can benefit the community.<br />

By establishing itself as a social<br />

enterprise, the house can be used<br />

as a venue for weddings, meetings<br />

and small conferences.<br />

Upgrading the kitchen will also<br />

allow it to be hired out for activities<br />

such as cooking classes.<br />

Whitebait initiative gets pupils to take care of waterways<br />

A MINISTRY of Business<br />

Innovation and Employment<br />

grant will allow pupils from<br />

South New Brighton, Waitākiri<br />

and Rawhiti schools to learn<br />

about the life cycle of whitebait<br />

(inanga) in red zone waterways.<br />

Investigate: Īnanga is a new<br />

educational initiative designed to<br />

meet New Zealand curriculum<br />

LEARNING: EOS Ecology<br />

standards. It will be delivered in<br />

collaboration with teachers and<br />

scientists in class and in the field.<br />

Haeata Community Campus<br />

students will also take part in the<br />

initiative.<br />

Said Anzac Drive Reservebased<br />

Mahinga Kai Exemplar<br />

project manager Kathryn Bates:<br />

“Recent post-quake studies have<br />

found parts of the edge of Kate<br />

Sheppard Lake are very productive<br />

inanga spawning areas,<br />

which provides an opportunity<br />

for young pupils to learn about<br />

a significant aspect of the world<br />

around them.<br />

“Not only do they get to<br />

understand the life cycle of an<br />

important native species, they<br />

also learn about the kind of<br />

habitat that they live in and why<br />

it is important we look after our<br />

rivers and wetlands,” she said.<br />

The initiative is a collaboration<br />

between Avon-Otakaro Network,<br />

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu,<br />

EOS Ecology Ltd and Whitebait<br />

Connection.<br />

Regenerate Christchurch chief<br />

executive Ivan Iafeta is supportive.<br />

“This programme aligns<br />

closely with the vision for the<br />

Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor as<br />

‘a place of learning and discovery<br />

where traditional knowledge,<br />

science and technology meet<br />

and the objective’s to create a<br />

restored habitat and establish a<br />

world-leading, living laboratory.”<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

SALMON WITH<br />

MUSHROOMS, BACON AND<br />

OYSTER SAUCE<br />

Ingredients<br />

ROASTED SPICED PUMPKIN<br />

WITH CANDIED CARROTS<br />

AND YOGHURT DRESSING<br />

Ingredients<br />

500g boneless salmon fillets, up<br />

to 600g<br />

4 slices smokey bacon<br />

250g meadow mushrooms<br />

2 cloves crushed garlic<br />

2 Tbsp oyster sauce<br />

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped<br />

1 nutmeg, freshly grated<br />

1 to serve spinach, or a fresh<br />

spinach salad<br />

Directions<br />

Heat the grill to high.<br />

Lay the salmon on a shallow<br />

baking tray, season with<br />

freshly ground black pepper<br />

and top with two of the bacon<br />

slices.<br />

Place under the grill and grill<br />

for about 8min.<br />

The salmon should be slightly<br />

under cooked in the middle<br />

– remember it does keep on<br />

cooking a little after being<br />

removed from the heat source.<br />

Meanwhile, dice the remaining<br />

bacon slices and place in a frying<br />

pan over a high heat and pan-fry<br />

until crisp.<br />

Add the mushrooms and panfry<br />

until golden.<br />

Reduce the heat to medium,<br />

add the garlic and pan-fry for a<br />

further 30sec.<br />

In a small bowl, combine the<br />

oyster sauce with ¼ cup of hot<br />

water.<br />

Pour into the frying pan and<br />

blend well, stir through the<br />

parsley.<br />

Remove the salmon from the<br />

grill, remove the bacon and place<br />

on a warmed serving platter.<br />

Pour over the mushroom sauce<br />

and grate over a little nutmeg.<br />

Serve with wilted spinach or a<br />

¼ cup chopped fresh herbs<br />

1 Tbsp lemon juice<br />

Directions<br />

Line a roasting tin with baking<br />

paper.<br />

In a small bowl combine<br />

cumin, coriander, turmeric and<br />

chilli flakes. Place pumpkin on<br />

baking paper and sprinkle over<br />

the spices and oil. Massage into<br />

Children reflect on quake with river of flowers<br />

A ‘RIVER of flowers’ was<br />

created by Queenspark School<br />

pupils and families to mark<br />

the seventh anniversary of the<br />

Canterbury earthquakes.<br />

Pupils wrote reflective<br />

messages along with laying of<br />

flowers.<br />

“It is an opportunity to come<br />

together as a school community<br />

and reflect how far we have<br />

come since the earthquakes,”<br />

said Queenspark School spokeswoman<br />

Rebecca Taylor.<br />

“It creates a place to remember<br />

the 185 people who lost their<br />

lives and also thinking about the<br />

first responders, the emergency<br />

services and the people of Canterbury<br />

who helped others in<br />

need,” she said.<br />

FLOWERS: Elouise, 6, with<br />

her contribution to the ‘river<br />

of flowers’.<br />

NEW BRIGHTON is on the<br />

hunt for front rowers to join their<br />

ranks and help push for another<br />

title this year.<br />

After beating Sumner 19-16<br />

in the division one plate final in<br />

July, the team wants to keep its<br />

winning ways.<br />

Division one coach Scott<br />

Pawson said their No 1 prop<br />

Carisbrook To’omalatai’s visa has<br />

expired so he has headed back to<br />

Samoa and Connor Pokoati has<br />

gone to Europe to work. Hooker<br />

Feleti Katitu’u has signed with<br />

the Western Force in the new Indo-Pacific<br />

which billionaire mining magnate<br />

Andrew Forrest is trying to<br />

set up after the Perth-based club<br />

Julia Harrison have been selected in two New Zealand archery teams to compete overseas.<br />

society’s president.<br />

It is the first time Tucker has<br />

qualified for the World Cup. She<br />

made the cut at a tournament in<br />

Rotorua earlier this month.<br />

WANTED: Former New<br />

Brighton captain Mitch Alcock<br />

with the Hawkins Trophy<br />

after their victory in 2013. The<br />

division one side is trying to<br />

recruit front rowers to have a<br />

crack at the title this year.<br />

“It is pretty awesome. Always<br />

wanted to do it, I’m really quite<br />

stoked about it,” she said.<br />

She has also qualified for the<br />

Oceania championships in New<br />

Caledonia from July 9-13.<br />

North Canterbury’s Rebecca<br />

Jones and Ellesmere’s Ryley<br />

Griffiths have also been named<br />

in the transtasman team.<br />

was dropped from Super Rugby.<br />

“Oli Jager is also in the Crusaders<br />

environment as well, so we have<br />

a couple left but we need more as<br />

it is quite a specialised position,”<br />

Pawson said.<br />

Rugby development officer<br />

Roddy Butt said it is quite easy to<br />

find loose forwards and backs but<br />

the front row is a bit of a struggle.<br />

“We have a couple at the moment<br />

but we want to boost our<br />

stocks across all the grades . . .<br />

they [props] seem to be the hardest<br />

to find,” he said.<br />

New Brighton is not looking<br />

for the next Joe Moody, although<br />

that would be nice, Butt said.<br />

“Someone that can hold up a<br />

corner will do,” he said. The club<br />

has put the call out in a Facebook<br />

post: “Championship titles and<br />

good props go hand-in-hand and<br />

we are after both.”<br />

They have a few hookers in the<br />

grades, but more would be handy,<br />

Butt said.<br />

New Brighton is also entering<br />

under-16 and under-19 teams.<br />

The latter will join a new competition<br />

started by the Canterbury<br />

Rugby Football Union to give<br />

school leavers an extra option<br />

rather than just colts rugby.<br />

New Brighton club or know<br />

someone who is, give Roddy<br />

6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream!<br />

9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton<br />

Auction: Wednesday, 21st March <strong>2018</strong>, 2pm<br />

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834<br />

Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s<br />

finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has<br />

come to the market for the very first<br />

time. This sprawling home is as unique<br />

as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2<br />

bathrooms, media room, office, formal<br />

dining, formal living and massive garaging<br />

on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and<br />

opulent in its design, the owners wanted<br />

to create an authentic home where their<br />

family could simply relax, enjoy and soak<br />

in the peace and tranquillity of the land<br />

and location. If you have ever considered<br />

a property with large garaging you’ll know<br />

that very rarely does such an opportunity<br />

like this present itself. Whether you<br />

are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,<br />

hobbyist, work from home, or just have<br />

the requirement for expansive garaging,<br />

this address is a must to inspect! Once this<br />

property has been sold, there are no others<br />

to replace it. With instructions to sell on or<br />

before auction day, what are you prepared<br />

to pay?<br />
