Friday rugby festival boon<br />

for player participation<br />

A NEW RUGBY festival is<br />

changing the game for children like<br />

Whitau School brothers Revival<br />

and Amazing.<br />

Revival (left), year 3, and<br />

Amazing (right), year 6, took part<br />

in Games of Ranginui, a Linwood<br />

Rugby Club initiative for year 1-8<br />

pupils from schools in the east.<br />

The brothers are able to hone<br />

their skills at the event with<br />

support from their whānau.<br />

Games are then held for all ages<br />

in a festival-like atmosphere at<br />

Linfield Park on Friday afternoons.<br />

“I’ve been playing rugby since<br />

last year, and my mum really enjoys<br />

watching me play,“ said Revival.<br />

He said getting to play alongside<br />

his older brother was a highlight.<br />

Amazing said he “wants to play<br />

rugby like his dad”.<br />

“He used to play rugby all the<br />

time.”<br />

The event allows families to<br />

connect with other parents and<br />

caregivers while watching their<br />

children participate.<br />

A successful one-off pilot<br />

programme last year attracted<br />

more than 250 children, but<br />

feedback suggested it be held over<br />

several weeks instead.<br />

Said Linwood rugby development<br />

officer Sam Jack: “We saw there was<br />

a real need to run something over<br />

a period of weeks, and something<br />

that was accessible for families<br />

in one place, at the same time, to<br />

remove barriers.”<br />

92yo Ailsa’s motto: ‘Use it or lose it’<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

EXTENSIVE TRAINING was<br />

a key factor in Ailsa Newton’s<br />

walk of 8480 steps in the Les<br />

Mills City2Surf fun run.<br />

Not bad for a 92-year-old.<br />

Ailsa completed the 6.5km<br />

distance from Porritt Park to<br />

Rawhiti Domain in one hour<br />

and 43 minutes.<br />

“The event was very good<br />

and very well organised. It was<br />

a relief to finish and I was very<br />

glad to sit down.<br />

“I am quite proud of myself<br />

for having done it. As people say,<br />

use it or lose it. I must say thank<br />

you to all who supported me.”<br />

Ailsa, a resident at the Archer<br />

Retirement Village and Rest<br />

Home in Beckenham, said<br />

having its staff organise the walk<br />

helped push her to complete it.<br />

She was joined by her son<br />

Brian McCracken and fellow<br />

residents, the home’s general<br />

manager Jane Haughey and site<br />

manager Philip Hanson.<br />

The ex-Brookhaven resident<br />

had persevered with extensive<br />

training for six weeks by<br />

walking daily.<br />

On the event day, she<br />

surpassed her 6km milestone<br />

which she had achieved the week<br />

before.<br />

“I’m still asking myself why I<br />

did it. I will never do it again.<br />

“But, I am looking at taking<br />

on a 5km Pink Ribbon walk in<br />

CELEBRATED: Archer<br />

Village’s acting activities<br />

provider, Bridie O’Flaherty,<br />

helped Ailsa Newton<br />

prepare for the walk and<br />

presented her with flowers<br />

and a pair of socks.<br />

October. I’m resting for now, so<br />

we will see . . . I’ll be a bit older<br />

by then,” she said.<br />

Having been a keen walker<br />

for many years, Ailsa was once a<br />

part of the WEA Trampers and<br />

the Cashmere Athletic walking<br />

group.<br />

“I started walking when I was<br />

one year old . . . but I joined my<br />

groups a long time ago so I’ve<br />

been actively walking for about<br />

75 years.”<br />

She continues to walk 1.5km<br />

four days a week and takes part<br />

in the rest home’s activities<br />

programme.<br />

A gathering took place at the<br />

home on Tuesday to celebrate<br />

the achievement of the three<br />

walkers and the village team.<br />

STEADY PACE: Ailsa Newton managed to cover 8480 steps in the Les Mills City2Surf fun<br />

run. She was supported by her son Brian McCracken, as well as fellow residents and staff<br />

from Archer Retirement Village and Rest Home.<br />

The only hot and cross<br />

should be Easter treats<br />

4 Thursday <strong>March</strong> <strong>28</strong> <strong>2024</strong><br />

• By Dylan Smits<br />

THE ICONIC Lyttelton<br />

steam tug’s sailing days could<br />

be over if it does not find<br />

about $300,000 needed for a<br />

refit.<br />

The 116-year-old tug has been<br />

out of commission since August,<br />

when the vessel’s boilers failed a<br />

safety inspection.<br />

“At the end of the day, if we<br />

don’t get the funding it will<br />

be the end of the tug,” said<br />

preservation society president<br />

Mike Bruce.<br />

The refit plan is on hold until<br />

at least $70,000 is raised, which<br />

will allow work<br />

to begin.<br />

The society<br />

has $30,000<br />

in the bank,<br />

and $70,000<br />

guaranteed<br />

from various<br />

organisations<br />

if it reaches<br />

a $190,000<br />

threshold. To<br />

Mike<br />

Bruce<br />

achieve that, it must first find<br />

another $90,000.<br />

“We’re really treading water<br />

here until we get the funds,” said<br />

Bruce.<br />

Some of the larger costs are<br />

replacing the steam tubes and<br />

installing an electric pre-heater<br />

for<br />

the boiler.<br />

The refit could give the tug<br />

another 40 to 50 years of life,<br />

said Bruce.<br />

The society is finding it<br />

difficult to get charitable or<br />

corporate sponsors on board.<br />

“You do get despondent with<br />

End of the line<br />

for historic<br />

tug?<br />

ALL ABOARD: The Lyttelton tug has been used for harbour cruises since it was retired<br />

from service in 1971.<br />

all the rejected letters,” Bruce<br />

said.<br />

“We really don’t want to<br />

consider the fact we might not<br />

get the funding,” said Bruce.<br />

“We all believe we’re going to<br />

have a breakthrough moment.”<br />

The society is hopeful the tug<br />

will receive the necessary funding<br />

and refit within a year.<br />

A givealittle page has been set<br />

up to help crowdfund, but this<br />

has only brought in small sums<br />

to date.<br />

Bruce said the tug will need<br />

much larger grants to achieve its<br />

funding goal.<br />

Despite the challenges, it could<br />

be years until the society calls it<br />

quits on the tug as long as members<br />

stay passionate and keep up<br />

basic maintenance, said Bruce.<br />

The preservation society’s<br />

trained volunteers maintain the<br />

tug at weekly sessions, which<br />

Bruce said have a “phenomenal<br />

turnout”.<br />

The $300,000 refit is only the<br />

start of a long-term plan for a<br />

$1.5 million modernisation of the<br />

vessel.<br />

This would include a new<br />

rear canopy, visual aids and<br />

information for tour guests, and<br />

an interior renovation to make the<br />

tug more attractive for visitors.<br />

Lyttelton’s<br />

THE LYTTELTON steam<br />

tug has a 116-year-long<br />

history.<br />

Built in 1907 by the<br />

Ferguson Brothers firm in<br />

Glasgow, it came to Lyttelton<br />

via the newly completed Suez<br />

Canal. It served as the port’s<br />

main tug until World War 2.<br />

Initially called Canterbury,<br />

its name was changed to<br />

Lyttelton in 1911.<br />

The vessel drew massive<br />

crowds in 1913 when it<br />

tugged the battlecruiser HMS<br />

New Zealand into harbour,<br />

and again in 1920 when it<br />

assisted the battlecruiser<br />

HMS Renown, which was<br />

carrying King Edward VIII<br />

when he was Prince of Wales<br />

during his tour of New<br />

Zealand.<br />

In 1942, the tug was requisitioned<br />

for service and<br />

armed by the Royal New<br />

Zealand Navy.<br />

She returned to normal<br />

port service in 1944.<br />

Following the introduction<br />

of the new tug Canterbury,<br />

the tug was retired in 1971.<br />

A museum ship ever<br />

since, it was leased for $2<br />

a year to the Tug Lyttelton<br />

Preservation Society. In 1989,<br />

the society was gifted full<br />

ownership of the tug by the<br />

Lyttelton Harbour Board.<br />

It has maintained it up to<br />

present day, moored at Z<br />

wharf.<br />

FUN: Revival<br />

taking part<br />

in Games of<br />

Ranginui at<br />

Linfield Park.<br />

Removing barriers<br />

HARBOUR HISTORY: The tug Lyttelton was built in Glasgow in 1907 and<br />

was initially called Canterbury. Below – boys from three children’s homes<br />

on a Christmas harbour cruise in 1970.<br />

to playing rugby<br />

•From page 1<br />

Jack (right) said the club recognised<br />

attempts to increase participation in<br />

traditional Saturday morning games<br />

was not working as the cost of travel, subs<br />

and equipment were barriers to some<br />

families.<br />

Linwood instead decided to offer<br />

Games of Ranginui in partnership with<br />

Canterbury Rugby and Tamai Sports to<br />

ensure more children have access to the<br />

benefits of sport.<br />

In its first week, the festival attracted<br />

almost 70 players who had not registered<br />

with Linwood before. The club hopes<br />

to deliver a similar programme in term<br />

two, with anyone interested in<br />

signing up encouraged to visit<br />
