Magic day formums
Nine women, all mothers of
children withspecialneeds,
enjoyed aday of experiencesand
pampering organised by the
members of theAltrusa Clubof
Ashburton.
Plans for theMagic Mums day,
which hasbeen held on aregular
basis by theAltrusa Clubover
more than 20 years, were allin
place for Marchbut covid
lockdownrequired postponement
until asafer time.
Unfortunately thismeant that
the original 12 mums who had
been chosen were not all able to
participate on theday butluckily
didn’t miss out on the lavish gift
baskets presented at the end of
the day.
Mums weretreated to flights
overthe Ashburtondistrict,
pilotedbyRobin,the husband of
one of theAltrusans.Phones were
excitedly producedandcalls
made to families to alertthem
that their mumswould shortly be
flying over their houses.
After amorningspent
participating in variousactivities
and relaxing awayfrom their
normal responsibilities,the
mums were taken to Bellissimo
foranafternoon of pampering
beforebeingdriven around
Ashburton by the local HotRod
Clubwho enjoyed being able to
show off their special vehicles to
their admiring passengers.
Dinner at theLake House
included entertainment by Peter
Livingstone,whichcaused much
hilarity for themums andAltrusa
members.
Perhaps more importantly, not
only did the mums go home with
thememoriesofthe new
experiences they had enjoyed
they also had new connections
andfriendshipsand the support
of peoplewho know intimately
what each other is facingintheir
day­to­daylives.
TheAltrusa members love
putting on thisMagic Mums day
andeach year are overwhelmed
by thegratitude shown by these
special women for this respite
from their normal busy lives, and
in turn theythank those
businesses and individualswho
give timeand resources.

Masks keep chairlifts full
Masks will enable Mt Huttand
other skifields to once again
load chairlifts to their full
potential for the rest of the
season, thanks to achange in
regulations.
Previously skifields had
neededtospreadout andlimit
numbersonthe chairlifts for
socialdistancing in AlertLevel
2.
That created queuing issues
at some skifields and on busy
days.
If all thepeople are wearing
masks, lifts are nowallowed to
be fully loaded, said Mt Hutt
skifield manager James
McKenzie.
There’sbeen good
attendances this season on Mt
Hutt, despite the limitations of
covid,and there was adecent
amount of snow.
Mt Hutt has acurrent base of
between 57cm and189cm.
