Looking back at working in the post office 

“I remember . . . ” started many a conversation on Saturday as long-distant memories of funny events, stern bosses 

and life-changing moments all re-emerged when 50 former administration staff gathered for the first time at 

the chief postmasters office reunion. For Mike Harris (left), of Middleton, Robert Evans, of Marshland, and Graeme 

Fraser, of Halswell, the memories of the fun they had while working in the record section at the iconic Cathedral 

Square chief post office building made them all smile and laugh. “What we got up to then we couldn’t do today, 

people just wouldn’t get the joke,” Harris said, preferring not to speak publicly about the antics and shenanigans 

they all got up to in the 60s and 70s.

Backlash 

after 

community 

representative 

moves from 

Riccarton 

• By Fiona Ellis 

RICCARTON community 

representative Gamal Fouda has 

sparked a backlash by his move 

away from the area. 

Central 

Riccarton 

Residents’ 

Association 

secretary Garth 

Wilson is calling 

for Fouda 

to resign from 

his role on the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board. 

Gamal Fouda 

However, Fouda has no plans to 

do so, saying he remains closely 

connected to the Riccarton community. 

Fouda, who is also known as 

imam of the Al Noor Mosque on 

Deans Ave, confirmed he moved 

away from Riccarton in July. 

He did not want his new area 

of residence, which is outside 

the city, disclosed for security 

reasons. 

Wilson said the association was 

concerned to learn Fouda had 

moved away from the area some 

time after the fact, as no public 

announcement had been made. 

Those who represented the area 

should also live there, he said. 

The city council confirmed 

that Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board members are 

paid $24,826 per year.

No business like show business 

NORMAN FORSEY describes 

himself as a ‘retired thespian’ but 

that description may underplay 

the significant roles he has 

played on stage, on film and on 

television sets. 

The Riccarton man has rubbed 

shoulders with many industry 

greats over the years. There was 

even a rock star or two, including 

David Bowie. 

The Margaret Stoddart Retirement 

Village resident’s penchant 

for performance may have come 

from his humble upbringing, 

which included periods of malnutrition. 

Concern about his skinny legs 

led to some training in ballet, 

Norman said. 

Norman was born in 1937 in 

London’s Whittington Hospital, 

on Highgate Hill, to a seventeenyear-old 

mother. 

He was adopted by a Welsh 

couple at two months old. 

“When I was about four, to 

quote the family doctor, he said: 

‘I think we should get Norman 

either skating or dancing to 

strengthen his poor little legs, to 

build him up’.” 

His skills in tap dancing and 

classical ballet, plus the ability to 

perform before a crowd, led on to 

three years of studying drama at 

the Welsh College of Music and 

Drama at Cardiff Castle. 

“And among my fellow students 

was a young chap called 

Anthony Hopkins.” 

During this time, Norman met 

his future wife, Chrissie. 

Norman, Chrissie and Hopkins 

toured Welsh theatres and 

village halls together, appearing 

in a Thornton Wilder play, The 

Skin of Our Teeth. 

Chrissie and Norman married 

in 1960, soon after he’d finished 

his National Service. 

He became wardrobe master to 

BBC Wales, a job he loved. 

The wardrobe fittings included 

working with the likes of Bill 

Travers, known for his appearance 

in Born Free, and Susan 

Hampshire, who appeared on the 

United Kingdom theatre circuit 

and on television. 

In 1973, Norman and Chrissie 

decided to emigrate to Auckland, 

where Norman worked in the 

‘rag trade’ for many years, producing 

costumes for stage, film 

and television. 

He also acted, appearing in an 

early episode of Close to Home, 

as well as featuring as one of 

the two “baddies” in Hunter’s 

Gold, a South Pacific Television 

production based on the Otago 

gold rush. 

Then there was an extended 

five-week trip to the Cook Islands, 

to work with David Bowie 

and the Japanese production 

team on the set of Merry Christmas, 

Mr Lawrence. 

Norman’s costumes work 

extended into generally helping 

out. In the initial Auckland 

filming, he would drive Bowie

around the suburbs incognito, 

while on a break from filming. 

“We tried to keep it secret 

to avoid the crowds and stuff. 

When he arrived, he said: ‘What 

are you driving Norm’, and I said 

‘I’m driving your campervan, 

your dressing room’.” 

Another film that Norman 

worked on was the Ron Howarddirected 

Willow, starring Warwick 

Davis and Val Kilmer. 

He also worked on Lord of the 

Rings, and alongside Lucy Lawless 

on Xena: Warrior Princess. 

Norman and Chrissie 

eventually moved to 

Christchurch, to be closer to 

their son and his family. 

For some years Norman acted 

with the Canterbury Repertory 

Theatre and The Court Theatre. 

In Brief 

RICCARTON BUSH THE 

TOP SPOT 

The Department of Conservation 

has revealed Riccarton Bush 

to be the top spot in a national 

programme encouraging children 

to get outdoors, called Toyota 

Kiwi Guardians. It has now given 

out 100,000 medals to children 

visiting designated locations and 

completing activities. Over 3000 

medals have been claimed for the 

Riccarton Bush native forest walk, 

the highest of any location. 

SCHOOL PROGRAMMES 

CONTINUE 

Schools in western Christchurch 

will continue to take part in 

the Star, the Kiwi Can and the 

Project K youth mentoring and 

training programmes, in spite of 

a funding shortfall of $60,000 by 

the Graeme Dingle Foundation, 

which runs the programmes. 

Canterbury region general 

manager Chris Davis assured 

schools in the district there 

would be no cutbacks to their 

programmes.

achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and 

professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along

Market that will give back to community 


A MARKET with a 

community focus is set to 

open this Saturday, making 

the long-held wish of one of its 

organisers a reality. 

The Northern Community 

Market will be held at Northcote 

School, and a portion of 

funds raised at the event will 

also be donated to the school. 

Market secretary Stephanie 

Heaver said the idea of a 

market was to give back to the 

community. 

“I thought ‘this will be good: 

get everyone together and then 

ALL SET: Secretary of the 

Northern Community 

Market Stephanie Heaver 

is organising the market’s 

opening and will also 

have her own crafts stall. 

we can put the proceeds back 

out into the community again,” 

Heaver said. 

The idea of a local market 

for northern Christchurch had 

been in the back of Heaver’s 

mind for a long time. 

She had lived in the area 

for 20 years and had always 

wanted one, she said. 

Finally, she sprung into 

action after reading an online 

comment asking why the area 

did not have one, she said. 

“Other markets have been 

doing rather well throughout 

Christchurch. 

“Let’s just do it.” 

Initially, funds raised would 

go towards meeting needs 

at the Northcote School, for 

example, sports equipment, she 

said. 

As the fortnightly market 

became more established 

it would also look for other 

causes to support. 

“We pay all our bills and 

things first and then over and 

above that we can divvy out 

what we need to put into other 

things. 

“We want to get as much 

back out to the community as 

we can.” 

The first market would have 

about 40 or 50 stallholders, 

selling a variety of products. 

“It ranges from fruit and 

veg, arts and crafts, homemade 

products, car boot sales, food 

stalls, all sorts of things.” 

She would be among the 

stallholders, selling her own 

handiwork, such as “mandala 

type” wall hangings. 

The opening of the market 

had been pushed back due to 

Covid-19, but she was excited 

that the vision she and others 

had been working towards was 

finally set to become reality. 

Opening at 10am, the market 

would run until 4pm and 

would adhere to pandemic 

alert level regulations. 

Taking community board responsibilities seriously – Fouda 

• From page 1 

“It is wrong, in our view, that 

someone who does not live within 

the city boundaries should be 

paid by the ratepayers of the city,’’ 

Wilson said. 

“Representation at board and 

council meetings had already 

been somewhat weakened by 

the decision of [Riccarton Ward 

councillor Catherine Chu] to 

decamp to the other side of the 

city.” 

Chu denied that her move to 

Mt Pleasant last year interfered 

with her representation of Riccarton. 

Fouda said he took his responsibilities 

as a community board 

member seriously. 

“Moving has not diminished 

my connection to Riccarton. Two 

of my daughters go to school 

in the ward and through the 

mosque . . . I am in and with the 

Riccarton communities most 

days of the week. 

He said he would have preferred 

to stay living in Riccarton 

but was priced out of the area. 

His four children had a difficult 

time following the March 15 terrorist 

attack and needed a 

“stable and secure” home, he 

said. 

“I also take my responsibilities 

to my family seriously.” 

“For over a year I looked for a 

home big enough for my family 

in the ward.”

Shakespeare performance earns young 

actress a trip to the Globe in London 


AN ASPIRING young actress is 

set to go global as one of a team 

of students bringing the plays of 

Shakespeare to life. 

Hornby High School’s Nadia 

Officer will represent New 

Zealand in London as a member 

of the Shakespeare Globe 

Centre New Zealand Young 

Shakespeare Company 2022. 

The year 12 student said it felt 

both exciting and nerve-racking 

to be the only student from 

Christchurch chosen to represent 

New Zealand overseas. 

“I didn’t expect it at all,” Nadia 

said. 

A long-time fan of The Bard, 

Nadia took part in the regional 

SGC University of Otago Sheila 

Winn Shakespeare Festival for 

the fifth time this year, performing 

a scene from A Midsummer 

Night’s Dream with a group of 

classmates. 

For the first time, her team 

was then selected to take part in 

the national competition, and 

she was then chosen for the SGC 

national schools production in 

Wellington last month. 

“That’s where they choose the 

people to go to London.” 

STANDOUT: Nadia Officer as Pyramus in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, alongside fellow Hornby High School students 

Meagan MacKinnon and Jessica Lilly 

PHOTOS: MEMORY OF LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY 

Back in Christchurch, she 

learned of her selection via an 

unexpected phone call. 

“I just started screaming 

around the house, it was an 

amazing thing to get the call.” 

Over the course of the two 

weeks in London in mid-2022, 

the selected students will take 

part in workshops at Shakespeare’s 

Globe theatre, and will 

also perform on stage. 

Comedy was Nadia’s preferred 

acting genre, although she was 

also open to the challenge of 

doing a tragedy, she said. 

“When I’m on stage, I just love 

looking at the audience and seeing 

their faces and making them 

laugh. 

“Acting-wise I love performing 

comedies . . . but if I were to read 

a play I’d prefer to read a kind of 

darker play. 

Her favourite plays, Macbeth 

and Measure for Measure, reflected 

this. 

“I really like the ideas in Macbeth 

of toxic masculinity, as well 

as all the gory bits and witches. 

“[In Wellington] I did Measure 

for Measure, which is a very dark 

play. 

“It was quite difficult for me, 

so it was a really good learning 

opportunity.” 

Nadia said she had been 

captivated by Shakespeare’s style 

of writing, especially his distinctive 

use of iambic pentameter 

rhythm. 

“It’s like a heartbeat within the 

text.” 

In the long-term future, 

she hoped to make a career in 

theatre, and as well as acting 

she could see herself owning her 

own theatre company, or 

passing on her love for the 

craft by becoming a drama 

teacher. 

In the short term, her goal was 

to raise $10,000 to fund her trip 

to London. 

She planned to do this by 

holding school events such as 

mufti days, and by setting up 

a Givealittle page, which she 

planned to call Get Nadia to 

the Globe.

Avonhead School pupils are the young quiz masters 

PUPILS IN the Western News 

area have come out on top in 

a national quiz competition 

grilling contestants on their 

general knowledge. 

The ODT Extra! Current 

Events Quiz took place last 

week, with more than 1000 

teams of three participating in 

ST MARGARET’S College 

students are making a splash 

with their business idea of selling 

‘drink bottles with a difference’. 

Nicola Crosbie, Nikita Bloy, 

Henrietta Osborne, Charlotte 

Gilray, and Olivia Peter won 

the Young Enterprise Scheme 

Regional Awards for North Canterbury 

last week. 

Twelve secondary school teams 

came in one after the other for 

a day of exciting Dragons Denstyle 

pitches, hosted at regional 

partner Ara Institute of Canterbury’s 

Christchurch campus. 

Splash for Change, by the St 

Margaret’s College team, was 

pitched as a business with charity 

at the heart of its mission. 

A total 50 per cent of the profit 

from each high-quality drink 

bottle is donated to a specific 

charity it represents, with colours 

or slogans to match. 

The business has an active 

presence selling drink bottles 

online which supports its three

divisions. 

Avonhead School pupils 

placed first in the year 5 and 6 

category of the event, and also 

took second in the year 7 and 8 

category. 

Medbury School also did well, 

with pupils placing second in 

chosen charities: the Breast Cancer 

Foundation NZ, the Mental

history, current events and 

general knowledge.

50-year gathering for former post office workers 

• By John Cosgrove 

IT GOES LIKE THIS: Former post office investigative officers Rod Cameron (left) and Wayne Butterworth look over one 

of the franking machines recovered from the central post office building in Cathedral Square. On a commemorative 

plate, former post office admin staff from the typing pool – Colleen Eathorne of Redwood and Ann Matheson – spot the 

windows they used to look out of. 

PHOTOS: JOHN COSGROVE 

STORIES OF adventures and 

shenanigans had in the typing 

pool or in the mail rooms 

were recounted as 50 former 

employees of the Post Office met 

for the first time in 50 years. 

The former administration 

staff members had all worked at 

some stage of their careers in the 

old Christchurch chief post office 

in the Cathedral Square. 

Chief postmasters office reunion 

committee chairman Rod 

Cameron of Beckenham said it 

was a good time to reminisce. 

Cameron, a former post 

investigations officer, said that 

over the past year a group of 

ex-employees had been working 

online organising the staff reunion 

held at the Cashmere Club 

on Saturday. 

“It has been quite difficult 

trying to track down all these 

people with who we previously 

worked with, but not seen for 

some 50 years. 

“We were fortunate, however, 

in tracing and contacting a total 

116 personal and managed to get 

50 people to come along to the 

reunion. 

“Many of those interested 

in attending now live overseas 

and were really keen to come 

but unfortunately were unable,” 

Cameron said. 

Cameron started in 1961 as a 

telegram boy before eventually 

becoming an investigating officer 

chasing up stolen mail or 

fraud scams. 

“Much of what we got up to on 

the job we can’t tell anyone about 

as people today would think 

we’re mean or they wouldn’t get 

the joke but we got away with it 

in those days,” Cameron said. 

His funniest memory was 

discovering marijuana growing 

implements and seeds sent from 

overseas. 

“We called the police who 

followed the parcel to its destination 

in a rural community, there 

they discovered a massive growing 

operation. 

Fellow postal investigator 

Wayne Butterworth of Spreydon 

recalled starting in 1965 as a toll 

operator having to juggle calls 

because they only had 40 lines to 

Wellington to work with. 

“Then one day I was looking 

out of a window overlooking 

the square when I saw a woman 

learner driver crash into the only 

phone box we had in the square.” 

Butterworth said: “ I was on 111 

calls that day and had everyone 

calling was to report it, all at the 

same time.” 

Ann Matheson of Waimari 

Beach, was a typist during the 

late 60s early 70s and recalled 

the day a younger woman came 

to work in a very, very short 

mini skirt, “She was sent home 

to change into something more 

appropriate so she returned in 

a maxi dress just to annoy the 

supervisor,” she said. 

Matheson recalls in 1970 being 

paid $1195 per annum for their 

work which came out to $39 per 

week. 

Fellow typist pool member 

Colleen Eathorne of Redwood, 

said she remembers they had 

a great social life there and 

many life-long relationships or 

friendships were made there.

MINE: St Margaret’s Collage student Indy Gibson (right) contests the ball from Jess Howison during round 

one of the inaugural Canterbury Australian Football League’s new women’s league, which kicked off on 

Saturday. CAFL president Matt Cawley said the idea for the women’s league came from a growing national 

interest in the sport. He said several women’s players had already travelled to play at tournaments in the 

North Island so they thought they could help them and the sport by starting a women’s league here. In a 

tight game the Ferns beat the Korus 7-7-49 to 6-4-40.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION proposed changes to speed limits 

SH73/75 Christchurch to Akaroa and SH74 Lyttelton 

In the last decade there were 739 crashes on the road between Christchurch and Akaroa*. 

Nine people were killed and 72 people suffered serious injuries, leaving families and 

communities grieving. 

Setting safer speeds on this high-risk corridor is essential if we are to turn the tide of deaths 

and serious injury. Because even the best drivers, on familiar roads, make mistakes - but these 

mistakes don’t need to cost lives. 

Consultation is now underway on proposed new safer speeds between Christchurch and 

Akaroa, some local side roads and in Lyttelton. 

Have your 

say by 

3 December 

2021 

Head to www.nzta.govt.nz/chchtoakaroa to give feedback 

or email us at chchtoakaroaspeeds@nzta.govt.nz 

Formal consultation on new speed limit proposals is required under the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 

(2017). *Between 2011-2020, data from CAS.

Here’s what our customers have to say: 

We advertise Affordable Furniture specials 

in The Star every week and are extremely 

pleased with the results. 

We find that the large circulation and 

readership, really works for reaching our 

target market and growing our customers. 

We get people coming in with our ad and 

asking about the specials we advertise. 

We have been benefiting from the 

Christchurch Star and Community papers 

for 20 years and see no end to it. 

Andrew Idour – Managing Director, 

Affordable Furniture 

After 4 years advertising in the Bay 

Harbour News, I decided to widen 

my audience by using the Star. 

I am very happy with new ad 

placement. 

My husband Tim was in the shop 

today and 2 ladies had come in 

to check us out because they had 

seen the ad!!! Oh yes they did buy 

some goodies!! 

Rose Lindley – Mumma Bear 

We have advertised with The Star 

over the years. 

Advertising in The Star we feel we 

get more response and feedback 

than any other marketing. 

We are lucky to have such a great 

free paper in the community. 

Thanks team Star.
