World stage beckons for 

St Andrew’s bagpiper 

• By Claire Reid 

A TALENTED teenage 

bagpiper has been selected 

to take part in two of the 

most prestigious bagpiping 

competitions in the world. 

Maggie McConnochie, 14, 

recently won the New Zealand 

Under 21 Piobrairechd and the 

Comunn na Piobairechd silver 

medal – and has since been 

invited to compete in seven 

competitions in Scotland in 

August. It includes two of the 

most respected solo bagpiping 

events in the world, the 

Argyllshire Gathering and the 

Northern Meeting. 

The St Andrew’s College student 

was the youngest person 

in the New Zealand awards 

categories. 

“It feels pretty good, but it 

feels unreal. It’s really exciting,” 

she said of the result. 

Maggie is likely to be the 

youngest taking part in Scotland, 

according to mum Delwyn, 

but says she tries not to let 

nerves get the better of her. 

“I do get a bit nervous, sometimes,” 

she said. 

“But I don’t get too nervous – 

I feel like I’m prepared 

and try not to think about it 

too much.” 

Maggie spends between five 

and seven hours practising the 

bagpipes every week, alongside 

school, homework and sports. 

She also plays at rest homes and 

took part in the Rolleston Anzac 

parade in 2023, and led the 

dawn service parade in Twizel 

this year. 

Maggie first picked up 

the bagpipes when she was 

9-years-old. Under the tutelage 

of Richard Hawke (NZOM), 

she has gone from strength to 

strength. 

“Maggie wouldn’t be the 

piper she is without the support 

of her tutors. She’s really grateful 

for Richard’s expertise and 

guidance,” Delwyn said. 

Maggie hopes her success 

will inspire other girls to 

get into bagpiping. 

Females are significantly 

underrepresented in the solo 

piping world, making up about 

just six per cent. 

BLOWING UP A STORM: 

Teen bagpiper Maggie 

McConnochie has been 

invited to compete in two 

of the most respected 

solo bagpiping events in 

the world, the Argyllshire 

Gathering and the 

Northern Meeting. 

• Maggie is self-funding 

her trip to Scotland, which 

will cost about $8600. 

She is selling cheese rolls 

and has set up a Facebook 

page – Piping Hot Cheese 

Rolls – where you can 

order and giving her a 

helping hand. 

Hard to sell 

plaster, as-is 

townhouse 

fought over 

at auction 

A TOWNHOUSE which a real 

estate agent thought would be 

impossible to sell because of 

its condition instead sparked a 

bidding war at auction. 

The three-bedroom, 

two-bathroom property on 

Winchester St, Merivale, sold for 

$465,000 at Thursday’s auction, 

which saw three cash buyers 

fighting for it. 

Harcourts 

Grenadier 

salesperson Lin 

Ma told OneRoof 

she was “very 

surprised by 

the outcome” 

because only 

cash buyers 

Lin Ma 

could purchase the as is, plaster 

home on a cross-lease section. 

The bidding opened at $250,000 

and went in mainly $10,000 bids. 

It was announced on the market 

at $415,000 and sold for $465,000. 

Ma put the strong bidding 

down to the good location, school 

zones and the entry-level price. 

“There were three people who 

really wanted it. It’s just the 

location,” she told OneRoof. 

Surrounded by private schools, 

the home was also zoned for the 

sought-after Christchurch Girls’ 

High School, Christchurch Boys’ 

High School and Burnside High.

Leaf-grinding ‘goat’ is on the job 

THERE’S A new “goat” in 

town and its rolling around 

Christchurch streets helping 

munch through the blanket of 

autumn leaves. 

City council contractors are 

busy with leaf fall season under 

way now till July. 

But this year they’ve got a 

new tool in their kit – a few new 

trucks, including one nicknamed 

the “goat”. 

“We’re always looking for 

ways to work more efficiently 

throughout leaf fall season. One 

of the trucks on our roads can 

now grind the leaves into small 

pieces, which is why they’ve 

called it the goat,” city streets 

maintenance manager Steve Guy 

said. 

“It also reduces the number of 

times they have to empty a load 

so they can do more streets at a 

time.” 

There’s also another new truck 

rolling around Christchurch 

streets with a remote-controlled 

snorkel. 

“This new truck means we no 

longer need a person on the road 

manually moving the snorkel 

around. The person who previously 

operated the snorkel can 

instead use a leaf blower to direct 

leaves into an area where the 

snorkel can reach like around 

cars,” Guy said. 

And a final new truck set to 

be launched at the end of the 

month, dubbed “Noo-Noo” after 

the vacuum in the 90s television 

show The Teletubbies. 

“Noo-Noo is going to be a 

great addition for our contactors. 

One of these holds about the 

same amount of leaves as three 

smaller trucks.” 

Guy said it’s important for 

people to remember that contractors 

are not able to sweep all 

of the leaves in the city. 

“We’ve got five trucks moving 

through 980 high leaf fall areas 

throughout the city so our teams 

focus on areas where the leaves 

inhibit stormwater, compromise 

safety and inhibit the growth of 

underlying plants.” 

Guy said residents shouldn’t 

worry if a sweeper truck leaves 

halfway through a street. 

“This doesn’t mean they’re 

done with the job, just that the 

truck is full and needs to be 

emptied,” he said. 

“Please be patient. Our 

teams work hard to clear leaves 

as quickly as possible, but 

sometimes heavy rainfall or high 

winds can cause more leaves to 

fall in a shorter period. We don’t 

want to receive reports of abuse 

when our teams are simply doing 

their jobs.” 

• If you are concerned 

about leaf litter contact the 

customer call centre on 

941 8999 or log a ticket via 

the Snap Send Solve app 

NO KIDDING: The city council has new trucks clearing leaf litter, including one that grinds 

leaves and another with a remote controlled snorkel. 

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE 

How you can help 

• Reduce build-up by 

clearing leaves from your 

own berm and garden and 

putting them into your 

green bin. 

• Put leaves in your 

compost or pile them at 

the back of garden to break 

down. 

• Please don’t dispose of 

your leaves after your street 

has been cleared and then 

call up for the street to be 

swept again. This slows 

down contractors.

Winning investor enticed by rental margin 

• From page 1 

Both property traders and 

investors were interested in the 

property. It was eventually won 

by an investor who was overseas 

and planned to continue renting 

it out to the existing tenants who 

were paying $580 a week. 

“If people want to buy a rental 

– what can you buy for $400,000 

with tenants who want to keep 

on renting,” she told OneRoof. 

“It’s a good return and even if 

the whole lot was damaged again 

and also no insurance then you 

have the land value cover you for 

that location – so I guess nothing 

to lose to be honest.” 

Ma said the owner had 

approached another agent first 

about listing the home, but 

they had refused to take it on, 

thinking there was no way they 

could sell “cross lease, as is, 

plaster”. 

Location was also the selling 

point for a three-bedroom, 

two-bathroom deceased estate 

in Ilam, which sold at auction 

within two weeks of being listed. 

The brought-forward auction 

opened and was announced on 

the market at $980,000. It sold 

for $1.071 million after hearty 

competition. There were five 

buyers in the room and three 

who actively bid 

for it. 

Harcourts 

Grenadier listing 

agent Julie Proctor 

told OneRoof 

there was “fast 

and furious 

bidding” for the

which offered 

the opportunity for people to get

into the area and be in zone for 

popular schools for supposedly 

under $1m. 

The bidding “went on and on 

and on” with eventually an older 

couple and young family both 

fighting for it, she said. 

An older couple eventually 

won the auction. They had plans 

to relocate from Akaroa. 

Proctor told OneRoof it was 

surprising because people in that 

demographic were not usually 

looking for a do-up. 

“I think they are just looking to 

repaint and replace the bathrooms 

and kitchen, but it’s still 

quite a significant update.” 

Proctor said the family member 

who she had been liaising 

with over the sale had been in 

tears on the phone when she 

learned of the outcome. She said 

she’d had quite a few auctions 

like it recently. 

Proctor said when there were 

two to three people who wanted 

to fight for a property then they 

determined what the value was, 

not the agent. That was when 

the power of auction really came 

into play.

Tough game ahead for Boys’ High 

• By Sam Coughlan 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School are making no excuses 

about their 30-19 loss to Nelson 

College. 

Head coach Rhys Archibald 

said they’d made “stupid mistakes” 

on Saturday which cost 

them massively. 

“We made three stupid 

mistakes and they scored 

three 60-metre tries, and we 

were down 19-0 after about 18 

minutes. 

“So, bad defensive effort 

really.” 

The Miles Toyota Premiership 

opener was a rematch of last 

year’s final, which was won by 

Boys’ High. 

Archibald will have to rally his 

troops ahead of this weekend’s 

game against St Andrew’s College 

at home. 

“We’ve got a bit of work to do 

on our defence, especially our 

one-on-one tackling and the 

decision-making around the 

field. 

“It’s obviously going to be a 

tough game out.” 

With Boys’ High celebrating 

their club day and the first 

XV playing in the afternoon, 

Archibald is hopeful of a bumper 

crowd to spur the team on. 

“It should be a good day, hopefully 

the weather plays its part. 

“Should be plenty of people

St Andrew’s opened their 

season with a narrow loss to St 

Bede’s, 21-18. 

With both St Andrew’s and 

Boys’ High looking for their first 

win, Archibald said it would be a 

challenging game. 

“They’ll be a tough ask. Like

BMW’s beefy 2-Series an SUV superhero 

VISUALLY, THE BMW 2-Series 

is at odds with the company’s 

‘Ultimate driving machine persona’, 

with its quirky compact urban 

mini SUV styling, masking a 

vehicle with serious performance 

credentials. 

This new generation version 

2-Series launched last year is only 

sold here in $78,500 225-e plugin-hybrid 

form, a heady price for 

a vehicle of this size and type. 

However, you get a decent 

amount of bang for your performance 

buck. It packs plenty of 

power as it delivers a highly entertaining 

and engaging driving 

experience, as I quickly discovered 

during a recent test drive. 

Those prepared to look past 

the understated appearance will 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

discover an unlikely small performance 

SUV superhero. 

The launch of the original 

model a decade ago added a new 

dimension of functionality, space 

and comfort to what was BMW’s 

first excursion into the premium 

compact urban SUV class. It 

was the company’s response to 

growing demand for vehicles that 

meet people’s diverse lifestyles, a 

market arch-rival Mercedes Benz 

have successfully tapped for years 

with their B-Class. 

The BMW 225xe Active Tourer, 

should be renamed hyper Active 

Tourer, with its exhilarating acceleration, 

outstanding in-gear 

throttle response and levels of 

smoothness bettered by few in its 

class.

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

A 1.5-litre three-cylinder motor 

and plug-in hybrid system 

with a combined output of 

180kW and 477Nm of torque is 

an absolute belter. The claimed 

0-100km/h sprint time based on 

my experience with the test car 

is well within its capabilities. It 

makes light work of the hardest 

hill climbs surging over them 

with effortless ease. 

A crisp seven-speed dualclutch 

Steptronic transmission 

works a treat with this powertrain 

in a gear-changing match 

made in automotive heaven. 

The generous yet versatile 

luggage compartment, is easily 

enlarged thanks to a 40:20:40 

split-folding rear backrest. Flexibility 

is further enhanced by a 

sliding rear seat which allows 

legroom in the rear or the load 

compartment capacity to be 

increased if needed. 

Despite its compact exterior, 

there is ample room for five people, 

with the elevated driver and 

front seat seats affording good 

all-round views. 

Switches and control for major 

functions such as windscreen 

wipers, lights, and indicators are 

positioned to perfection. This 

means the driver isn’t second 

guessing where they are, which 

is always right at the your finger 

tips. 

Apple CarPlay preparation enables 

easy, wireless use of selected 

iPhone functions inside the car. 

The car’s built-in SIM card provides 

seamless access to BMW 

services regardless of whether a 

paired smartphone is present. 

One of these is Intelligent 

Emergency Call that will contact 

emergency services and let them 

know exactly where you are in 

the event of crash, and crucially 

get the services and assistance 

there faster to provide whatever 

help is required. 

A first-rate suspension strikes 

a satisfying balance between 

ride comfort and tenacious road 

holding. 

The ride is firm, but cleverly 

fettled to deliver just the right 

amount of suppleness. This is 

there in sufficient measure to 

soothe the vehicle over aggressive 

road surfaces, even those with a 

potpourri of deep pot holes often 

described as washboard surfaces. 

Their mission is to wring the 

living daylights of suspensions 

system, but their attempts on 

this front were easily repulsed by 

the test vehicles well-sorted and 

engineered underpinnings.
