Richmond Club lands<br />
people’s choice award<br />
• By Jo Fuller<br />
THE RICHMOND Club won<br />
the people’s choice award at the<br />
<strong>2023</strong> Hospitality NZ Awards for<br />
Excellence.<br />
“The people’s choice awards is<br />
the second biggest award given<br />
out, and this the award we really<br />
wanted,” said the club’s general<br />
manager Jimmy Summerfield.<br />
“This award is our members,<br />
guest, suppliers, schools,<br />
community organisations and<br />
many, many more wonderful<br />
supporters of our wonderful club<br />

having their say. It also reflects<br />
the culture within our amazing<br />
staff, the direction the club is<br />
going and what our club offers.<br />
“There were over 75<br />
outstanding businesses in<br />
the running, and little old<br />
Richmond smashed it out of the<br />
park.”<br />
More than 600 industry<br />
representatives attended the<br />
awards black tie event at the<br />
Pullman Hotel in Auckland.<br />
The people’s choice award,<br />
voted for by the public, was open<br />
to finalists across every category.<br />

Traffic plan major cost<br />
for parade organisers<br />
•From page 1<br />
The New Brighton Project<br />
now has to notify the affected<br />
residents about the planned road<br />
closures.<br />
Baxendell said the cost of traffic<br />
management has tripled since she<br />
started organising the parade 12<br />
years ago.<br />
Te Aho and Baxendell have<br />
managed the rising costs by<br />
keeping other expenses down<br />
but the parade is now facing its<br />
“biggest shortfall”. The not-forprofit<br />
organisation is hoping the<br />
community will step in to help<br />
cover the remaining costs.<br />
Baxendell says the problem<br />
lies with the funding model for<br />
the parade. The cost of putting it<br />
on has gone up but the funding<br />
has stayed the same. Baxendell<br />
said each year the project applies<br />
for different city council grants<br />
because there is no funding set<br />

aside for the parade.<br />
“There’s only so much money<br />
council has in its funding pool.”<br />
Mary McCammon, who helped<br />
organise the parade for 11 years<br />
until 2011, remembers when it<br />
cost $100 to sort out the traffic<br />
management.<br />
People turned out in force to<br />
the event in December, with<br />
about 15,000 lining the streets to<br />
welcome Santa and the other 41<br />
entrants to New Brighton from<br />
10.30am.<br />
The New Brighton Project<br />
is reaching out to groups and<br />
businesses to give them an<br />
opportunity to get involved in the<br />
event.<br />
