turn at the Amberley<br />
Rock’n’Wheels car show.<br />
The 10th anniversary show<br />
opens at the Amberley<br />

<strong>September</strong> 27, after acouple<br />
of false starts because of<br />
Covid19 level 2restrictions.<br />
However, with level 1<br />
kicking in this week, the<br />
show will go on, with several<br />
hundred cars expected to<br />
arrive.<br />
Cars, bikes, fourwheel<br />
drives, campers —infact<br />
anything on wheels —will<br />
arrived from as far afield as<br />
Motueka and Dunedin.<br />
The community event is<br />
now under the umbrella of<br />
the Rock’n’Wheels Meet<br />
Charitable Trust.<br />
This year, the event will<br />
benefit eight community<br />
groups, all of which will be<br />
helping on the day.<br />
Trust spokeswoman<br />
Katrina Platt says in spite of<br />
having to push the event out<br />
for several weeks, the day<br />
will still offer plenty of good<br />
oldfashioned family fun.<br />
There will be swapmeet<br />
sites, craft and food stalls,<br />
live music, and<br />
entertainment.<br />
Cars turning up to<br />
Rock’n’Wheels do not have to<br />
have apedigree.<br />
‘‘If it has wheels and you<br />
love it, bring it along,’’<br />
Katrina says.<br />
Atotal of 104 vehicles<br />
turned out to the first event.<br />
It has since grown<br />
substantially, with hundreds<br />
of car owners taking the<br />
opportunity to give their<br />
vehicles arun to the<br />
picturesque domain.<br />
Entry is $10 per set of<br />
wheels, including the driver<br />
and one passenger. It will be<br />
$5 for all extra people in the<br />
vehicle, except for children.<br />
Swap meet and craft sites<br />
are $20 each.<br />
Entry is $5 at the gate for<br />
adults, with those under 15<br />
free.<br />
Public parking will be at<br />
the Amberley School for a<br />
donation.<br />
The school is running the<br />
car park as fundraiser.<br />

Rangiora Lionesses<br />
An article in the <strong>September</strong> 10 <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> wrongly reportedthat the<br />
Rangiora Lionesses presented grants of<br />
between$2000 and $10,000 to 16 schools in<br />
the Rangioraand Kaiapoiareas for pupils<br />
from families who have suffered hardship<br />
