Museum on the hunt for 

trotting club memorabilia 

• By Dave Di Somma 

THE NEW Brighton Museum 

is on the lookout for trotting 

memorabilia – but there is a 

catch. 

It has to relate to the New 

Brighton Trotting Club, which 

operated at what became 

QEII Park, from 1895 to 1963, 

before relocating to Addington 

Raceway. 

“We want anything and 

everything,” said museum 

president Wayne Hawker. 

“That includes trainers’ 

colours, footage of any races, 

trophies, photos, cups, and 

racebooks. 

“We have a fair bit of stuff 

already, but we are always keen 

for more. They would on-loan 

for the exhibition in October- 

November.” 

The museum, now into its 

third decade, plans to hold 

an exhibition just before New 

Zealand Cup Week. It will also 

coincide with the city’s Heritage 

Week. 

Recently, the museum held 

a “50 years on” exhibition celebrating 

the 1974 Christchurch 

Commonwealth Games. 

“We had 2500 through the 

doors – it was a great success,” 

Hawker said. 

Trotting in New Brighton 

goes back about 140 years. 

At a meeting at the Sawyers 

Arms Hotel, Papanui, in 

February 1883, the stewards 

“were empowered to select 

a course for races anywhere 

within the Avon Road District’’. 

The stewards selected land 

that skirted the swamps near to 

New Brighton beach. 

Tom Free, licensee of the 

Bower Hotel, laid out a 1200m 

course at the QEII Park 

property. 

There was then a mixed 

trotting and racing programme, 

with the first race on the site 

held in 1886. 

It was a start, but by all 

accounts the conditions were 

pretty rustic. 

The land was then bought 

by Henry Mace, a soft drinks 

manufacturer, who built Brooklyn 

Lodge where he founded a 

stud plus training and racing 

stables. 

He sank several wells for 

irrigation, upgraded the track 

and built accommodation for 

the public. 

After leasing the new track 

from Mace, the New Brighton 

Trotting Club held its first 

official race meeting on March 

16, 1895. 

The first race held at the new 

venue was won by J Gallagher’s 

Swinton by 300 yards in 6.01 for 

two miles. 

Henry Mace died in 1902, 

with Robert Button, a rich 

timber merchant at the time, 

taking over the property.

Chlorine-free drinking water 

returning after station upgrades 

CHLORINE-FREE Water is 

coming back to New Brighton. 

The city council has upgraded 

the 345 Keyes Rd drinking water 

station to meet new government 

regulations. 

It is scheduled to reopen this 

week. 

The taps were closed in August 

2023 to comply with updated 

drinking water laws. 

At the time, city council staff 

warned they might not reopen 

due to the costs and complications 

of removing chlorine from 

the water. 

Coastal Ward councillor 

Celeste Donovan pushed for the 

decision to be reconsidered. 

“I’m really happy that anyone 

in New Brighton and from across 

the city who wants chlorinefree 

water can now fill up their 

containers at these community 

taps,” Donovan said. 

Chlorine was introduced to all 

water supply zones in Christchurch 

and Banks Peninsula to 

comply with the Water Services 

Act 2021 and associated regulations. 

The city council closed the 

New Brighton filling station, and 

another at Burnside Park, as they 

did not comply with the new 

CHLORINE FREE: Coastal Ward councillor Celeste Donovan 

advocated for the drinking water station on Keyes Rd to be 

reopened. 

CHEERS: Waimairi Ward councillor Sam MacDonald, 

Donovan and Mayor Phil Mauger at the reopened Burnside 

Park drinking water station.

drinking water standards. 

However, work to upgrade the 

stations has been completed. 

The water now goes through 

a cartridge filter and UV 

treatment on site, but remains 

chlorine free. 

Donovan said she was disappointed 

when the community 

taps were shut off without any 

notice after they were deemed 

unsafe. 

She worked with city council 

staff to find a way to get the 

taps back up and running after 

hearing from the community 

how important chlorine-free 

water is. 

Donovan worked with Waimairi 

Ward councillor Sam Mac- 

Donald to get the New Brighton 

and Burnside taps reopened 

about the same time. 

The community filling station 

in Burnside Park reopened last 

week. 

People wanting to use the taps 

need to bring clean containers, 

and should be considerate of how 

much water they take at a time.

Exhibition to celebrate 

harness racing history 

• From page 1 

Button is best remembered 

as the father of Bella Button, a 

harness racing pioneer who was 

taking part in trotting events 

as far back as the 1890s. Two 

horses called Bella Button have 

since raced here, most recently 

an eight-win trotter trained by 

Mark Jones. 

The club leased and then 

bought the land off the Button 

family. It evolved into a training 

centre, with the track as fast as 

any in the country. 

A long list of champions, 

including Wildwood Junior, 

Reta Peter, Adelaide Direct, 

Willie Lincoln, Agathos, Onyx, 

Peter Bingen, Great Bingen, 

Harold Logan and Josedale 

Grattan, were trained on the 

New Brighton track. Reta Peter, 

a trotter, was a two-time New 

Zealand Cup winner in 1920 and 

1921. 

Happy Voyage’s 2:04.2, which 

stood as the NZ and Australian 

mile record for a season, was 

established on the track in 1923 

while Harold Logan’s 2:36.6 

victory in the Avon Handicap 

over a mile-and-a-quarter (about 

2000m) from 84yds (76m) in 

1934 was a then-world record. 

During World War 1, the army 

used the grounds for training 

PAST GLORIES: An exhibition is planned to showcase New 

Brighton Trotting Club’s contribution to harness racing. 

exercises, although racing 

continued and prospered. That 

changed during World War 2 

when the grounds were given 

over to the Defence Department 

and racing moved to Addington. 

The club returned to its home 

patch in 1948 after the site 

had undergone an extensive 

makeover. 

But the advent of night trotting 

changed everything. 

It was first introduced at Addington 

Raceway on November 

20, 1963, the same night Cardigan 

Bay won the Allan Matson 

Handicap in a new world record 

(3:18.2). 

By then the New Brighton 

club had decided to sell the 

site and move permanently to 

Addington. 

Its last meeting was held 

on September 21, 1963, with 

the club merging with the 

Canterbury Park and the New 

Metropolitan Trotting Clubs in 

1998. 

The course was sold to the city 

council for $75,000. 

A harness racing fan for 

decades, Hawker wants the 

museum’s exhibition to showcase 

the New Brighton Trotting 

Club’s significant contribution to 

harness racing in Canterbury. 

In the last 40 years, he’s hardly 

missed a New Zealand Cup. 

And his favourite? Borana’s 

1985 win at odds of 70-to-one. 

“I had $5 over $10 on it,” 

Hawker said. “And I also had the 

horse in the sweepstake at work!”

Volunteers pay for 

gift shop makeover 

THE MUCH LOVED – but 

lately well worn – Christchurch 

Hospital Volunteers Gift Shop 

has had a make-over. 

It has been given a completely 

new fit-out, paid for by the volunteers. 

The shop was reopened 

in style last Thursday by senior 

operations manager George 

Schwass, who cut a ribbon to 

mark the opening. 

Whether you need to post a 

parcel, get a lolly hit, pick up a 

magazine or buy a gift to cheer 

up a patient, the shop is always 

there, said retail co-ordinator 

shop manager Ann Hill. 

“Thanks to the unwavering 

dedication of our wonderful 

volunteers, the gift shop has 

donated close to $2.2 million 

in patient and visitor comfort 

items, to support staff education 

and at times purchase equipment.” 

As the main source of funding 

for the hospital volunteers’ 

committee, the shop enables 

the committee to approve many 

grants. The renovation will ensure 

the shop continues to build 

on this success and provide a 

great service to everyone who 

walks through its doors, Hill 

said. 

The volunteers who work in 

the shop bring their skills and 

kindness every day. 

“In doing so they provide 

a much-needed service while 

raising money that contributes 

to many projects and patient 

comfort items within the 

hospital. One hundred per cent 

of profits go back to the hospital 

community. It’s so worthy of 

your support,” she said. 

The volunteers also run a 

website service where relatives 

and friends can purchase a gift 

for a loved one in hospital and a 

volunteer will deliver it.

become a leftover legend. 

Remember the 2-2-2 rule 

To ensure your leftovers are safe, 

follow the 2-2-2 rule: cool them, 

cover them and refrigerate within 

two hours of cooking. 

Eat within two days, either 

cold or reheated until piping hot. 

This simple practice can prevent 

foodborne illnesses and keep your 

meals delicious. 

If in doubt, freeze. If you don’t 

think you are going to eat your 

leftovers within two days, freeze 

them for up to two months. 

Label everything 

Avoid the dreaded UFOs 

(unidentified frozen objects) in 

your freezer by labelling your 

leftovers with the dish name and

keep track of what you have and 

when to eat it. 

Prioritise ‘eat me first’ 

items 

Designate a spot in your fridge 

for items that need to be eaten 

soon. Use an "eat me first" sticker 

or have a designated shelf in the 

fridge for free-for-all items. This 

will also stop hungry teenagers 

snacking on the food you plan to 

use for dinner. 

Mix and match meals 

Turn leftover nights into a 

culinary adventure. Your meal 

may end up being a random 

assortment of food, but you’ll get 

a night off cooking! 

Make sure you have staples 

such as wraps, eggs or bread to 

bulk out the meal if necessary. 

Be smart about servings 

When serving family-style, let 

everyone choose their portions. 

Rather than scraping leftovers 

from people’s plate into the bin, 

you can store what’s left in the 

serving dish for another day. 

Upskill your cooking 

Learn a few versatile recipes, 

like frittatas, soups, or pies, to 

transform your leftovers into a 

fresh new dish. This helps keep 

your meals interesting and saves 

you from eating the same meal 

twice. 

Leftovers anytime 

Who says leftovers are just for 

lunch? Enjoy them for breakfast 

or as a snack. The important 

thing is that they get eaten, not 

wasted. Embracing these tips 

can help reduce food waste, save 

money and make mealtimes 

more exciting. 

Get creative with small 

portions 

Leftover bits and pieces can be 

the start of something new. Make 

a stir fry by adding vegetables or 

beans, use bread as a pizza base 

and top with small amounts of 

leftovers and top with cheese, 

Easy Wontons 

Ingredients 

250g-300g leftovers – try curry, 

barbecue meat and sauce, tofu 

and gravy. Roasted veges. 

1 tablespoon fresh herbs, finely 

chopped 

1 x 24 pack wonton, dumpling, 

or gyoza wrappers 

¼ cup water 

Method 

• Either finely chop or blend 

your leftovers. The finer you 

chop them, the easier it is to 

create your wontons. 

• Take a wonton wrapper 

and place on the bench. Pop 

a spoonful of mixture in the 

centre. 

• Using your finger dab around 

the edges and as close to the 

filling as you can with a little 

water. 

• Bring together into a semicircle 

and seal and squeeze the edges. 

• Continue until you’ve used up 

the filling and wontons. 

• Drop into a bubbling broth for 

soup; top with freshly chopped 

herbs. Steam, pan or air fry. Or 

drop into a freezer bag and store.
