Friendship club marks 30 years 

MILESTONE: Marie Parry, 94, Pat Dean, 93, Fay Simon, 90, and Robyn Gosset, 89, cut into a special cake to commemorate 

30 years since the Sumner-Redcliffs Friendship Club formed. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE SUMNER-Redcliffs 

Friendship Club tucked 

into cake for breakfast as its 

members celebrated 30 years 

since the group formed. 

It was the first time the club 

for retired or semi-retired 

women had met back at Our 

Lady Star of the Sea in Sumner 

following the Covid-19 lockdown. 

Honorary life member Robyn 

Gosset, 89, said it was great 

to get back with old friends 

during the commemoration on 

July 6. 

Since 1990, women in the 

area have been able to connect 

and discuss a range of intellectual 

and cultural interests 

on the first Monday of every 

month. 

“We still have several early 

members in their 90s,” Mrs 

Gosset said. 

She said the club has always 

followed the same programme 

of having a mini-speaker and 

morning tea, before listening to 

an invited guest speaker. 

There are also monthly trips 

to “interesting spots around 

Canterbury.”

Calls for 

parking 

restrictions 

near wharf 

at Diamond 

Harbour 


PARKING PROBLEMS near the 

Diamond Harbour wharf have 

sparked a proposal for restrictions 

in two areas. 

There are currently no restrictions 

at the car parks beside the wharf 

and at the Stoddart Point main 

parking area. 

It has attracted freedom campers, 

and others using the spaces all day, 

which creates problems for people 

needing to park their cars and 

commute across Lyttelton Harbour 

on Black Cat Cruises’ ferry. 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan said parking has been 

an issue for “quite some time.” 

“It is an area that needs to be 

managed and controlled to make 

it fair for everyone. Obviously, for 

our customers, we’d like to see as 

much parking available as possible.” 

The city council is asking for 

feedback on a consultation to 

change the area beside the wharf to 

have six parking spaces with P180 

restrictions, keep eight unrestricted 

parking spaces and retain two 

mobility parking spaces.

Maori place names reinstated 


DYERS PASS will now be known 

as Pukeatua/Dyers Pass – the te 

reo name translating to “hills of 

the gods.” 

The popular route used to 

travel between Lyttelton Harbour 

and the central city is one of 

13 place names across Banks 

Peninsula to have its Maori 

history restored as requested by 

Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke. 

The Minister 

for Land 

Information 

Eugenie Sage 

approved the 

changes at 

Rāpaki marae 

on July 7.

cultural heritage and identity 

portfolio chairman Donald 

Couch, who has worked with Te 

Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the 

New Zealand Geographic Board 

on the proposals said a lot of 

work had gone into getting the 

names formally recognised. 

“Puke” means hill, and Mr 

Couch said the word “atua” is 

a general term for gods which 

could be used generally to cover 

different Maori figures. 

Historically the location was 

known as Pukeatua, it then 

became Dyers Pass in 1942 after 

well-known farmer John Dyer.

He owned several properties in

Ten other traditional Maori 

names have been reintroduced 

alongside the current European 

names. 

These include Cass Peak, 

Adderley Head, King Billy

Mr Couch acknowledged those 

involved while noting there 

was more work to be done in 

correcting and recognising place 

names. 

“Today marks a significant 

step forward, but the task is not 

yet finished.” 

Mr Couch also noted that 

many early written texts 

contained errors and needed to 

be treated with caution.

News 

From all parts of the globe to Sumner, 

Lee Barraclough’s 

business Skydiving Kiwis 

is set to launch a new 

attraction later this month 

or in August, which will 

allow people to skydive 

out of a helicopter onto 

Sumner Beach. Matt 

Slaughter talked to 

him about this and the 

experiences he has 

had in his 17 years as a 

skydiver 

Tell me about your job and 

how you make a living? 

I’ve been a skydiving 

instructor now for 17 years. 

Basically, at the moment I’ve 

been living in Sumner. In 2003, I 

learnt to skydive and then I spent 

12 years travelling around the 

world chasing the sun. 

I came back to New Zealand 

in 2011, just after the earthquake 

and set up Skydiving Kiwis and 

since then, we’ve been doing 

commercial skydiving with 

tandem skydiving and also 

student training and advanced 

sports skydiving training as well. 

Where did the idea of jumping 

out of a helicopter onto Sumner 

Beach come from and what will 

people experience? 

What I looked at doing 

THRILLING: Lee Barraclough’s business Skydiving Kiwis is set to start jumping from a helicopter 

onto Sumner Beach later this month or in August. 


was, rather than just offering 

the skydiving experience, I 

looked at what we could deliver 

with a package that included 

skydiving, but gave you so much 

more. So, that being a 

luxury helicopter flight, a 

flight over our amazing city 

and then opening the door into 

the most breathtaking views in 

the country and then 

flying down into the 

parachute and landing on 

one of the best beaches within 

Christchurch. 

THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION 

AND REFERENDUMS 

What does it feel like to 

skydive? 

For a first-time skydiver, it 

can be one of the most scariest 

things that you ever do, I guess, 

and I never try to tell anybody 

otherwise, but then the feeling 

once you actually leave the plane 

and step into the wind, or you 

drop into the wind, is one of 

the most freeing, exhilarating 

feelings that you can ever 

experience in your life. 

Once you jump out, you’re 

flying, man. There’s not a word 

in the dictionary for that feeling. 

How did your passion for 

skydiving develop? 

In 2001, I did my first tandem 

and then in 2003 I did my first 

solo and for me, at the time, 

like, I hadn’t really been an 

aircraft before, so I was a bit 

unsure of what all the dials in 

the aircraft meant and that was 

the only thing that really kind 

of confused me a little bit and 

then as soon as that door opened 

and that entrance to kind of the 

world of the bird was before me, 

then the feeling was inside me 

that I was actually at home. It 

was something that I saw on TV 

when I was about nine-years-old 

and since that moment I said to 

my mum that as soon as I get the 

spare money, mum, what I want 

to do is go skydiving. 

What’s your view on:

production facilities

boyhood skydiving dream comes true 

Where are some of the best 

places in the world that you 

have skydived? 

Without being biased, New 

Zealand has got the best 

scenery on the planet and then 

Christchurch and Canterbury, 

it’s in me just like it is in every 

Cantabrian. When I was 

travelling around the world 

though, I guess, California 

because it never ever rains, it’s 

about 40 deg C all the time, 

so enabling you to be able to 

go skydiving every single day 

was something that was pretty 

awesome there. 

I’ve skydived on some paradise 

islands like Mauritius, the 

Canary Islands, and that is part 

of the reason why I really like 

jumping onto the beach and 

around the ocean because the 

views are so spectacular. 

Have you had any close calls 

skydiving in the past? 

I guess I’ve probably used my 

reserve parachute in my high 

performance jumps probably 

nine or 10 times and it’s 

something that we’re trained to 

do since the day that we begin 

skydiving. 

I remember one time at the 

Australian nationals when I was 

leading the competition, and 

then I had a malfunction on 

my competition jump and then, 

unfortunately, because of the 

upper winds, my parachute flew 

seven miles away. Luckily for me, 

what happened after that was the 

winds became too over the limit 

to carry on the competition, so 

we went flying in the little Cessna 

[plane] and we actually managed 

to find my parachute, but it also 

meant that the competition went 

on hold and I was able to actually 

get all my gear back together 

and, once the winds died down, 

then I was able to carry on the 

competition and I remember 

coming home with a gold medal, 

which was pretty nice. 

Have you had any injuries 

skydiving? 

The only injury that I’ve really 

had was at the Copenhagen 

World Freestyle Challenge and 

that was in 2016. 

We would fly our parachutes 

down and there was a 25m by 6m 

inflatable raft and then what we 

PASSION: Lee 

Barraclough 

has been 

skydiving for 17 

years with the 

sport taking 

him all over the 

world. 

would do is, for about 100m prior 

to the raft, we would perform 

freestyle tricks on the water and 

then try to land on the raft. So, 

what I did was actually do a trick 

that had never been done before, 

and it was my own personal trick, 

which involved sliding on the 

water, letting go of my controls 

and then just popping up a little, 

grabbing both my feet behind 

my back and then [getting] back 

onto the controls and landing on 

the raft. It wasn’t really a crash 

landing, it was just more of an 

awkward landing with the 

speed I had onto the raft and 

I ended up tearing my labrum 

inside of my shoulder and that 

meant shoulder surgery at the 

start of 2017 and a three-year 

recovery, but I did end up 

coming fifth in the world for that 

competition. 

Have you taken any famous 

or memorable people skydiving? 

There were a couple of famous 

people overseas, like, I took one 

of the most famous Bollywood 

actresses one time and that was 

in Mauritius. 

In New Zealand, I wouldn’t 

really say famous. Some of the 

things that stick out though was 

one time I took a 94-year-old 

blind lady on Christmas Eve and 

she came and wore a Santa suit. It 

was pretty cool. Other than that, 

I’ve taken the Bachelorette in 

New Zealand. 

Who will be the first person 

to skydive onto Sumner Beach? 

That’s a bit of a secret. It’s 

somebody from the local 

[Sumner] area that has lived 

there for nearly 50 years and he 

actually got hold of us and he 

himself is actually around the 

90-year-old-mark and that’s 

about all I’m allowed to say.

ACTION: Six city counci lors including 

Catherine Chu, Sam MacDonald (top right), 

James Daniels (above left) and Aaron 

Keown have ca led on Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

to lead a conversation on how to achieve a 

zero per cent rates increase this year. 

• By Louis Day 

CALLS HAVE b en made to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City counci lors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a 

le ter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

asking her to lead a conversation 

as to how a zero per cent rates 

increase could be achieved this 

year. 

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent acro s a l ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan 

which is cu rently under public 

consultation until April 5 and 

wi l be finalised before July 1. 

The 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent 

rates increase over 10 years. 

Said Cr MacDonald: “In 

the cu rent environment it’s 

clear business as usual is not 

appropriate and the council 

needs to l ok at how we enable 

this 12-month rates increase 

fr eze to o cur, it’s crucial for

YOUR LOCAL 

Gold medal personal goal 

What are your 

hobbies outside of 

skydiving? 

I really love surfing and, 

these days, I spend a lot of 

time working a lot more 

with the tourism board 

and actually pushing a 

little bit outside of just 

skydiving and working 

more with Christchurch as 

a whole. 

What are the best 

results you have had at 

the competitions you have 

competed at? 

At the end of last year at 

the World Cup in South 

Africa, it was my first 

competition back after 

three years from 

my shoulder recovery 

and I came back with 

two records, the 

Oceanic record 

and the New Zealand 

record for distance in 

canopy piloting. That 

would be the pinnacle 

so far. My personal 

goal is to get the gold 

medal next year at 

the Russian world 

championships for 

distance for canopy 

piloting. 

What does your family 

think of your skydiving 

and what you do for a 

living? 

I’ve got family, mum 

and dad and a brother 

and sister here in New 

Zealand and since day one 

they’ve just pushed me to 

be whoever it is that I want 

to be. So, although the 

first time I rang my mum 

and told her about my first 

ever malfunction, it was a 

bit scary for her, she just 

continuously is like, just do 

what makes you happy, Lee 

and skydiving, obviously, 

is the thing that has made 

you the happiest I’ve ever 

seen you, so go for it.

Questions over freedom campers raised 

• From page 1 

At the Stoddart Point car 

park there is a proposal to 

make 16 unrestricted parks become 

6am to 6pm parks from 

Monday to Friday, mainly for 

commuters. 

Fourteen unrestricted 

parking spaces and one mobility 

parking space would be 

retained at this area. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Scott 

Winter, who represents the Mt 

Herbert Subdivision, said he 

has had feedback from a few 

residents who are unhappy 

with the proposal. 

“But you can’t please everyone,” 

he said. 

“With the space we’ve got 

[the city council] has come 

up with a good proposal. I’m 

glad they’re consulting with 

the community about it rather 

than just going ahead and 

doing something they’re not 

happy with.” 

He said the community 

board has raised questions 

over what will happen once 

freedom campers return in the 

future. 

“They will come back and it’s

Diamond Harbour

Several venues but group remains intact 

• From page 1 

She said the club started out 

as the Sumner-Redcliffs Ladies 

Probus Club for those who had 

retired from Rotary but still 

wanted a social group where 

they could meet and have a 

speaker. 

Originally New Zealand’s 

Probus clubs were run from

the Australian body but in 

2016 it was decided they would 

control their own. 

The Australian body said 

New Zealand clubs could 

not use the name Probus 

and after discussions, some 

clubs remained under their 

banner and retained the name, 

while some chose the name 


Friendship Club. 

Mrs Gosset said over the 

years, the club has moved 

around several venues, 

beginning at the Sumner- 

Redcliffs Anglican Church. 

“We have also used the 

Marine Hotel, which always 

smelt of beer and smoke 

when we opened it up on a 

Monday morning. We also 

spent time at the Sumner 

community centre, the 

bowling club and currently at 

the Roman Catholic Church 

in Dryden St.”

becoming a member of 

the club, phone Lois Gant

EQC and insurance 

claims – still relevant 

to property purchases 

Charlotte Grimshaw, 

Associate at Saunders & Co reports: 

Conveyancing in Christchurch and 

Canterbury can be a trickier task than in other 

parts of New Zealand due to the Canterbury 

Earthquakes and their effect on the process. 

Unless you are buying a property that was built 

post quakes, you need to be aware of what 

damage occurred from the quake events, and 

whether it has been repaired. 

To assist the sale process, a seller should be 

able to provide a prospective purchaser with

claims are being retained by the seller), it is 

especially important for both parties to seek 

legal advice on the contents of any Agreement 

for Sale and Purchase before entering it, and 

the implications of the uncompleted repairs. 

It is also now the standard process for non 

“as is where is” property sales for remaining 

rights in EQC claims to be assigned by 

the seller to purchaser on settlement via a 

document called a Deed of Assignment. 

This Deed informs EQC about the transfer 

of the property and who is taking over 

any remaining benefit in the EQC claims 

lodged for the property from the settlement 

date. Having rights assigned then allows 

purchasers to deal with EQC regarding such 

claims in the future, such as settling unsettled 

claims or dealing with further quake damage 

if found.

Selwyn Sounds 

Jon Stevens will sing the hits 

• By Matt Slaughter 

WHEN JON Stevens’ song 

Jezebel reached number one on 

the New Zealand charts in 1979, 

a career in music wasn’t on his 

mind. 

Said Stevens: “I made a record 

when I was 16, it came out when 

I was 17, which was Jezebel. It was 

released and three weeks later it 

was No 1 and all of a sudden, I 

was famous in New Zealand. 

“It [music] was something 

that I didn’t pursue at all, it 

was like a happy accident 

actually because it wasn’t 

something I was actually into 

doing,” he said. 

But Stevens, who is entertainer 

Frankie Stevens’ brother, couldn’t 

stay away from music, and more 

than four decades later, he is set 

to headline Selwyn Sounds on 

March 6 at Lincoln Domain. 

Jon Stevens is best known 

for being the lead singer of 

Noiseworks. He was also lead 

singer of legendary Australian 

band INXS for four years after 

former frontman Michael 

Hutchence died. 

The Selwyn Sounds crowd can 

expect Stevens to belt out a set 

of hits from both of these bands 

when he takes the stage. 

Said Stevens: “I’ve got a 

pretty good setlist going with, 

obviously, both bands’ songs. 

ROCKING OUT: Jon 

Stevens will be performing 

a set including songs from 

Noiseworks and INXS at 

Selwyn Sounds on March 6. 

You can’t please everybody, but 

nobody’s disappointed ever. 

“It’s just hit after hit, you 

know,” he said. 

Stevens said these hits will 

include INXS songs Need You 

Tonight, Don’t Change and 

Suicide Blonde and Noiseworks’ 

Hot Chilli Woman. 

Stevens fronted INXS in the 

early 2000s after Hutchence’s 

death in 1997 and toured with 

the band for four years. 

“When I joined INXS, it was 

just one of those things where it 

seemed like a perfectly natural 

fit and it was, and it’s something 

that I know, and we all knew, 

Michael would have been more 

than happy for me to do because 

we were compadres.” 

Stevens said he and Hutchence 

had “mutual admiration” for 

each other. 

“He [Hutchence] was a very 

warm and engaging fellow. He 

was a lovely bloke [with] charisma 

to burn. One thing people didn’t 

realise about Michael was he had 

a really, really big voice, it was 

really so loud. 

“Because his subtlety in his 

lower register was just incredible 

and his tone was incredible, 

when he jumped up an octave 

and started belting it out, it was 

just like, man, so full-on, and 

that’s probably a big part of his 

magic,” he said. 

Stevens is looking forward 

to the Selwyn Sounds crowd 

hearing his spin on the INXS 

songs and said he has the band’s 

blessing to perform them. 

He also said he is looking 

forward to seeing the huge 

Kiwi lineup set to take the 

stage at Selwyn Sounds and his 

highlights will be seeing Stan 

Walker, The Jordan Luck Band, 

The Lady Killers and Annie 

Crummer.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit 

organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of 

New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. 

Each week she introduces a new bird found 

in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the 

understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area. 

Help save swamp harrier 

THE SWAMP harrier is New 

Zealand’s largest native bird 

of prey – a stunning creature 

with a wingspan of 1m. It is an 

awesome sight when you see it 

soaring above the estuary and 

nearby paddocks. 

We don’t have a lot of them 

here but 16 were counted last 

summer. They do actually get 

chased out of the area by the 

bossy and territorial magpies 

and spur-winged plover who are 

much smaller, but not afraid to 

dive bomb the harrier. 

The harrier has a good and 

varied appetite and its prey 

includes rats, mice, lizards, insects, 

small birds, frogs but also 

carrion (roadkill), particularly 

during winter when other prey is 

harder to find. 

No doubt you have all seen a 

harrier feeding on carrion such 

as hedgehogs, rabbit, possum 

or even pukeko. Unfortunately, 

though, this is the main cause of 

death of our harriers. 

What we can do to help in 

this case is when you see a dead 

animal on the road; pull over 

when it is safe to do so, and if 

you are brave enough, use a 

stick, a branch, gloves, a plastic 

bag or piece of paper to pick 

up the dead animal and place 

far enough away from the road 

where it is safe for the harrier to 

eat. 

The harrier nests on the 

ground or low scrub, flax bushes 

or raupo where the female will 

incubate eggs on her own as well 

as having to feed her chicks. But 

wait . . . the male will help here 

by finding food for the female to 

save her leaving the nest for too 

long. 

This all happens during 

an awesome aerial display 

where she flies upside down 

underneath the male for him to 

pass on his catch of the day to 

her to be passed on to the chicks 

and to feed herself.

referendum 

questions?

In with 

the New! 

Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken 

the opportunity to open their latest store in central 

Christchurch – and it is certainly different from anything 

Christchurch shoppers have seen before. 

Target Furniture has had a long-term presence in 

Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented 

the shopping experience for customers with this new 

concept store. 

The large, open store has gone and been replaced with 

a showroom that encourages customers to explore and 

discover more as they stroll through rooms that have 

been created to showcase the furniture. Target has 

partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours 

that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and 

these are incorporated into the displays. 

“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational 

and a highlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says 

Rob. 

“The new store is a result of significant local and 

international research, a considerable amount of recent 

experimentation in existing stores and feedback from 

customers,” says company director Rob Bielby. 

Technology is another innovative feature of the new 

store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of 

the signage is now digital, creating a more personalised 

message for customers and telling more about the 

Target story and the services they offer. 

Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR 

(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan 

the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to 

detailed information on the furniture, including sizes, 

materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the 

range. 

Brochures are also available with details of the different 

furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital, 

Rob says, while staff are always on hand to answer 

questions and offer advice. 

There is also a digital kiosk equipped with computers 

where customers can log onto the Target website and 

view the 2500-plus products online, with images also 

displayed on Facebook and Instagram. 

“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer 

– digital and instore. Our point of difference is the 

experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping 

preferences – from totally digital to totally bricks and 

mortar.”


BaY HaRBOUR

Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer 

experience, Rob adds. 

“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are 

committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our 

goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within 

10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland 

distribution centre.” 

Target Furniture is located on the ground-floor level of the 

Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and 

Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the 

vicinity. 

“This encourages customers to the area as they have more 

options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do 

have a choice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi 

homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to 

add a dash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm 

and a leg. 

“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture 

retail landscape making fashionable, practical and 

affordable furniture available to everyone in a shopping 

environment that surprises and delights.” 

Target Moorhouse is the first of the new-generation stores 

and the concept will be rolled out to all existing stores and 

new stores that are planned.

Tasty Bites 

Kiwifruit and lime - a match made in heaven 

This kiwifruit lime pie is 

a delicious gluten and 

dairy-free frozen dessert. 

It’s sweetened with 

maple syrup and naturally 

flavoured with fresh lime 

juice, coconut and kiwifruit. 

Pure decadence 

Kiwifruit and lime pie 

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Grain- 

Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Vegan, 

Paleo 

Ingredients 

Gluten-free pecan crust 

1 cup dates (pits removed) 

1 cup raw pecans 

½ cup coconut flakes 

1 tbsp coconut oil 

Pinch of sea salt 

Filling and topping 

2 cups raw unsalted cashews, 

soaked 

⅔ cups fresh squeezed lime juice 

(about 4 limes) 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

½ cup maple syrup 

½ cup full-fat coconut milk 

(canned) 

¼ cup avocado 

¼ cup coconut oil 

5-6 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced 

Directions 

Place the cashews in a large 

bowl and pour hot water over top. 

Let them to soak for 1 hour prior 

to making the pie filling. 

To make the crust: Add all of 

the crust ingredients to a food 

processor and process until quite 

finely and evenly ground. 

Add the crust mixture to either 

a pie pan or a 20cm round cake 

pan. If using a pie pan you do 

not need to grease the pan or use 

baking paper, and can simply 

press the crust mixture down to 

form a flat crust. 

If using a round cake pan 

instead you should line the pan 

with baking paper that has been 

cut in a circle to fit the bottom of 

the pan. 

You will also want to cut 

two strips of baking paper to 

approximately 5 x 35cm and 

lie them criss-cross across the 

bottom of the pan. 

This will make the pie easy to 

remove to serve from another 

platter once frozen for a more 

impressive presentation. 

Add the crust mixture on top 

of the paper layers and compress 

it firmly to create a solid crust 

by pressing firmly down using 

your hands over another piece of 

baking paper to prevent sticking. 

To make the filling: Drain the 

water from the cashews and place 

them in a blender along with all 

of the other ingredients for the 

filling except for the kiwifruit. 

Blend on high until smooth, 

scraping the sides of the blender 

with a spatula as needed. 

Pour the filling over top of the 

crust and freeze for 1-2 hours 

until the pie is partially set. 

Remove the pie from the 

freezer and layer the sliced 

kiwifruit in a decorative 

arrangement on top of the pie. 

Place the pie back into the 

freezer and let set another 1-2 

hours prior to serving. Store the 

pie in the freezer and remove to 

thaw for 30min to soften prior 

to serving. Cut any leftovers into 

individual portions so they can 

easily be enjoyed as a single serve 

dessert later instead of repeatedly 

thawing out the entire pie.

Master jeweller in Lyttelton 

AWARD 

winning 

master 

jeweller 

Julian 

Harding 

(Jules) has 

recently 

opened a 

new studio 

in Lyttelton. 

Jules has been involved in Canterbury’s 

jewellery industry for over 40 years 

with latter years spent running his own 

business. 

During this time he has earned a strong 

reputation as a skilled craftsman. He is 

not only a renowned designer and creator 

of fine jewellery, but he also repairs, 

alters and remodels any jewellery. 

“I enjoy designing and hand-making 

unique pieces of jewellery that capture 

the true essence of my customers,” said 

Jules. “I also love the challenge of remodelling, 

restoration and repair work.” 

It’s this work that Jules says keeps him 

up to date with trends and appeals to his 

creative mind. 

But it’s not just jewellery. Jules is 

willing to look at repair and restoration 

of any precious keepsake - from a teapot 

to a tiara! 

Located at 8 London St, Jules’ studio 

reflects his dynamic personality. 

Filled with a menagerie of eclectic 

treasures, including caged budgies, 

canaries and finches, the studio is 

warm and welcoming as Jules works 

from his station. Comfy armchairs 

offer a relaxed area for consultation 

and there is an interesting array of 

jewellery and trinkets on display for 

sale. 

There is no middle man. You deal 

directly with Jules, so you can get 

an honest appraisal for repairs and 

restoration on the spot. And if you’re 

wanting something made, you’ll 

get an exclusive, handmade and 

unique creation designed and crafted 

exclusively for you. Jules is a specialist 

in engagement and wedding ring 

design. 

“I guarantee your piece will cost no 

more than a mass produced item from a 

retail jewellery shop. In fact you will save 

money.” 

Jules is usually on site, but recommends 

phoning to book consultations. He is 

also open Saturdays during the Lyttelton 

Market.

Mazda expands its SUV line-up 

MAZDA COULDN’T put it more 

simply, its new crossover sport 

utility vehicle – the CX-30 – is 

bigger than a CX-3 and smaller 

than a CX-5. 

I once wrote that the CX-3 was 

my favourite car in the whole 

Mazda line-up, but that feeling 

wasn’t shared by everyone, it took 

a lot of criticism for a lack of space 

in the rear seating compartment. 

My argument was that if you were 

mostly driving with one or two-up, 

then that became irrelevant. 

Whichever way you look at it, 

those who were captured by the 

CX-3’s dynamics everywhere else 

will find the CX-30 a fabulous 

driving vehicle, and it gets the 

benefit of extra space in the rear 

seats, along with increased load 

space. Of course, the CX-30 

also shares the DNA of its other 

stablemates that span a wide crosssection 

of the SUV market, there’s 

a size for all families depending on 

how many travel in the vehicle on a 

daily basis. 

The CX-30 is also priced midway 

between CX-3 and CX-5, there 

are three variants – GSX, GTX 

and Limited – the range starts at 

$41,490 for a 2-litre model, the 

other two are 2.5-litre powered 

and list at $44,990 and $50,990 

respectively. Factor in the 2.5-litre

Are you ready to meet the worst parents ever? 

Sure, some parents are embarrassing – but they’re NOTHING on this 

lot. These ten tales of the world’s most spectacularly silly mums and 

deliriously daft dads will leave you rocking with laughter. 

Pinch your nose for Peter Pong, the man with the stinkiest feet in the 

world… jump out of the way of Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two 

wheels… watch out for Monty Monopolize, the dad who takes all his 

kids’ toys… and oh no, it’s Supermum! Brandishing a toilet brush, a 

mop and a very bad homemade outfit… 

WIN THIS BOOK 

variants are four-wheel-drive, the 

2-litre engine drives out the front 

wheels only. 

I’m scheduled into all three 

variants, and I’m really looking 

forward to the two remaining drives 

– the CX-30 is a smart piece of kit, 

and if you have read any of my recent 

Mazda evaluations you’ll notice that a 

pattern has developed, I’m constantly 

saying the product that is coming 

out of the Mazda factories is high on 

quality and desire. 

My first drive was the mid-spec 

model, and even though it doesn’t 

get all the bells and whistles it will 

still satisfy, I particularly like it for its 

cloth trim, I don’t need leather. It took 

me many years to fully relate to the 

traditional sport utility vehicle, and 

now I can see their appeal through 

functionality and practicality, and 

you can’t help but being impressed 

with the way the CX-30 drives and 

handles, it has form and function 

built into every aspect. 

Under the bonnet sits the fourcylinder 

2488cc engine, there are 

no surprises here, it is an engine 

that has been utilised by Mazda 

for several years in this form. It’s 

part of a SkyActive range that has 

been constantly upgraded and 

engineered for maximum efficiency 

both in terms of power outputs and 

fuel efficiency.

CX-30: Comprehensive series that fits seamlessly into Mazda’s 

range of SUVs. 

It is rated with 139kW and 

252Nm, both outputs realised at 

traditional points in the rev band – 

6000 and 4000rpm respectively. The 

engine is coupled to a six-speed 

automatic transmission, also very 

traditional. But the reality of this is 

that over time and development the 

two main engineering pieces work 

perfectly together, the electronic 

mapping between the two is fluid 

and, of course, very smooth. 

This engine works well in the 

CX-30, of course it feels more 

responsive than what it does in 

the CX-5 because of the weight 

difference between the two models, 

the CX-30 feels feisty and vibrant, 

responding willingly to throttle 

application and is always hooked 

into the right gearing. 

The norm these days is to 

incorporate driver-selectable 

engine management modes and 

the CX-30 is no exception, 

although there is just a choice of 

two, the default mode being 

a normal setting which I use 

almost always. There is also a 

sport mode which is selfexplanatory, 

it is there for when 

overtaking opportunities present 

themselves and it is also useful 

for that long hill climb through 

to Akaroa, it keeps the engine 

working in the point of strength 

and maximum delivery. 

Mazda claim fuel usage figures 

of 6.8-litres per 100km for the 

2.5 engine on a combined cycle 

average. I tried reaching that figure 

as a target but couldn’t quite get 

there. When I took the evaluation 

vehicle back to the dealership it 

was listing at around 7.4l/100km, 

which was promisingly close. 

At 100km/h on the highway the 

engine is quite relaxed working 

away at 1900rpm, at that speed 

it sips fuel instantaneously at the 

• Price – Mazda CX-30 GTX, 

$44,990 

• Dimensions – Length,

height, 1540mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2488cc, 139kW, 252Nm, 

six-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.8l/100km 

rate of 6l/100km. That translates to 

economical motoring if you are on 

that long road trip. 

As you would expect from a 

company that has long had a 

history of sports car development, 

the CX-30 also handles with a 

feel that is most unlike a tall sport 

utility vehicle. Sure, at 1.54m there 

is a bit of body movement, even 

with moderate spring and damper 

firming there is going to be some 

gravitational transition, but it 

is well arrested and occupants 

aren’t lurched through directional 

changes. 

It must also be pointed out that 

four-wheel-drive also has on-seal 

grip and handling benefits, the 

CX-30 feels well attached to the 

road surface and that is a key safety 

ingredient. It works alongside the 

suite of safety features that Mazda 

has long developed in all of its 

product range. 

The CX-30 is far more than a 

stretched CX-3, it draws on all the 

fundamentals sport utility vehicles 

require, and packages them in a 

comprehensive range.
