Dedication to community safety earns<br />

• By Geoff Sloan<br />

THERE IS NOT much Josh<br />

Tabley hasn’t encountered during<br />

his <strong>19</strong> years patrolling with the<br />

Christchurch South Community<br />

Patrol.<br />

From burglaries to missing<br />

people, attending multiple traffic<br />

crashes, assisting injured people<br />

and reporting suspicious activity,<br />

he has seen it all.<br />

Tabley’s long service has seen<br />

him nominated for Canterbury<br />

volunteer of the year. The annual<br />

awards recognise outstanding<br />

efforts and achievements by<br />

volunteers of all ages in all<br />

sectors across Canterbury.<br />

Judges praised Tabley’s<br />

dedication to both frontline<br />

and governance roles, and his<br />

outstanding efforts to improve<br />

community safety.<br />

In addition to patrolling<br />

southern Christchurch,<br />

Tabley manages the roster<br />

for the patrol’s base radio<br />

system, helping co-ordinate<br />

communication between units<br />

across Canterbury.<br />

Tabley lives in Oxford but<br />

grew up in Hoon Hay, part of the<br />

area he now helps to keep safe –<br />

which adds personal meaning to<br />

his community work.<br />

A keen badminton player,<br />

he voluntarily runs the Oxford<br />

started in 2020. On top of<br />

that, he operates a free local<br />

Along with his day job driving<br />

a car transporter truck, Tabley<br />

concedes he is a busy person.<br />

“I enjoy driving, that’s why I<br />

like doing patrols.”<br />

He credits his wife Melissa and<br />

daughter Crysta who have always<br />

encouraged his volunteer work.<br />

“I couldn’t sit in an office.<br />

said.<br />

“The first time my shoe lace<br />

came undone,” he said.<br />

This put him over the time limit<br />

as he stopped to fix it.<br />

“The second time I pulled the<br />

Achilles tendon in my leg.”<br />

However, the police’s loss was<br />

Community Patrol’s gain.<br />

“I like to help people in need.”<br />

Tabley said the patrols work very<br />

closely with the Christchurch<br />

Police, which he enjoys.<br />

He joined Christchurch South<br />

Community Patrol in 2006 as a<br />

20-year-old. At the time, the group<br />

had just 12 volunteers, patrolling<br />

once a week due to the low<br />

numbers.<br />

“I think I was the youngest<br />

member in the South Island when I<br />

started,” Tabley said.<br />

Since then, he has worked to<br />

encourage younger people to join.<br />

The patrol, which covers areas from<br />

Halswell to Ferrymead, now boasts<br />

about 50 volunteers of all ages.<br />

New ‘Hollywood’ theatre<br />

could open later this month<br />

• By Kees Chalmers<br />

THE COUNTDOWN is on to the<br />

opening of the replacement for the<br />

iconic Hollywood movie theatre in<br />

Sumner.<br />

The <strong>19</strong>38 building in Marriner<br />

St has been completely renovated<br />

and is planned to open as the Silky<br />

Otter Hollywood on Saturday,<br />

<strong>June</strong> 28.<br />

The opening date is dependent<br />

on receiving city council consent.<br />

“It’s great to finally get these<br />

things open, there’s been a lot of<br />

build-up trying to get this cinema<br />

open,” said Silky Otter founder<br />

Neil Lambert.<br />

“We’ve already got a really wellestablished<br />

and loved (cinema) in<br />

Christchurch. We wanted to make<br />

sure that this had that feel to it as<br />

well.”<br />

The first movie to screen will<br />

be F1, which stars Brad Pitt as a<br />

Formula 1 driver who comes out of<br />

retirement.<br />

“It’s a classic Hollywood<br />

blockbuster. It has to be seen<br />

in a theatre, it can’t be watched<br />

anywhere else,” said Lambert.<br />

He intends the cinema to be<br />

open in time for the July school<br />

holidays and the release of other<br />

blockbusters, including Superman,<br />

Jurassic World Rebirth and How to<br />

Train Your Dragon.<br />

Lambert says once the city<br />

council gives the green light, “we<br />

will be pretty<br />

much ready to go”.<br />

The recliner<br />

seats were<br />

installed last week,<br />

with Lambert<br />

now waiting<br />

on projectors<br />

and kitchen<br />

equipment.<br />

The building<br />

Neil<br />

Lambert<br />

will house three 48-seat cinemas<br />

and a bar.<br />

“It’ll be unrecognisable when<br />

customers walk inside, I think<br />

everybody will be pleased with the<br />

results,” he said.<br />

It was formerly home to<br />

Hollywood Cinemas, the oldest<br />

movie theatre in Christchurch,<br />

owned by cinema pioneer Lang<br />

Masters for more than six decades.<br />

Masters died, aged 92, in August<br />

2023.<br />

To pay homage, the new cinema<br />

will be renamed Silky Otter<br />

Hollywood.<br />

SLOAN<br />

“ It’s an institution, so we kind<br />

of wanted to keep it that way,”<br />

Lambert said.<br />

The cinema will not host any<br />

major events for the opening,<br />

rather Lambert prioritised getting<br />

doors open as soon as possible.<br />

“ They (cinemas) are almost<br />

looked upon as community<br />

centres, strangely enough, so for<br />

me, the joy of opening cinemas is<br />

to really just get the public in.”<br />

Sumner will be Silky Otter’s<br />

eighth cinema in New Zealand.<br />

The first was built in Auckland in<br />

20<strong>19</strong> as a way to re-imagine the<br />

cinematic experience.<br />

“A lot of the older picture<br />

houses were kind of falling away<br />

and not really keeping up with the<br />

times.<br />

“It’s a hospitality experience<br />

in a night out, that’s what we’re<br />

bringing to Sumner and it<br />

fits well into the community,”<br />

Lambert said.<br />

Heritage focus for King’s Birthday photo competition<br />

THE BRITISH High<br />

Commission celebrated King<br />

Charles III’s official birthday with<br />

a youth-focused event at the Ilex<br />

Centre in the Botanic Gardens.<br />

The evening featured a student<br />

photography competition highlighting<br />

personal ties between<br />

New Zealand and the UK.<br />

Guests viewed an exhibition<br />

of the shortlisted entries, with<br />

British High Commissioner Iona<br />

Thomas praising the “creativity<br />

and emotion” behind the work.<br />

The winning image, by Sam<br />

Edwards, showed a vintage British<br />

car driving through graffitilined<br />

Christchurch streets – a<br />

symbol of heritage crossing<br />

generations.<br />

“It was a privilege to see such<br />

powerful visual work in one<br />

space. The students brought<br />

depth, originality, and a real<br />

sense of narrative to their pieces,”<br />

Thomas said.<br />

The five shortlisted entries<br />

are pictured below with the<br />

photographers explaining the<br />

pictures in their own words.<br />

This is a photo of the grave of<br />

Jane Deans, married to John<br />

Deans. The Deans family were<br />

some of the earliest settlers in<br />

Canterbury who arrived after<br />

sailing over from the UK and<br />

are all buried in this cemetery.<br />

I have personally always felt<br />

a connection to cemeteries<br />

and the power they hold.<br />

This specific cemetery is the<br />

Church of England cemetery<br />

on Barbadoes St, and in<br />

my opinion it is tragically<br />

beautiful. – Maya, 15<br />

This photo has a personal meaning for me. I was born and<br />

raised in the UK before moving to Christchurch where I<br />

started high school. This car was also imported from the<br />

UK, so it has made the same journey I have. Seeing it here<br />

reminds me of my own experience and how both countries<br />

have shaped who I am. – Sam Edwards, 17<br />

It took me some<br />

time to think of an<br />

idea for a photo<br />

and came up<br />

with this. I think it<br />

incorporates both<br />

NZ heritage with<br />

the totara leaf<br />

but also English<br />

heritage with<br />

a teacup (from<br />

Britain) and a<br />

book by a British<br />

author.<br />

– Seth Shipley, 15<br />

This photo captures<br />

Brighton, England’s<br />

iconic seaside lifestyle. I<br />

was born in Christchurch<br />

and live here again at<br />

age 17. I see beautiful<br />

similarities with New<br />

Brighton – both coastal<br />

suburbs are filled with<br />

colour and community.<br />

The UK and Christchurch<br />

share a deep connection<br />

through generations –<br />

proven with Brighton<br />

and New Brighton. This<br />

photo reflects on how<br />

architecture can carry<br />

emotions and memories<br />

across continents.<br />

The spiral tower is a<br />

significant symbol of this.<br />

– Harry Simmons, 17<br />

This work was inspired by<br />

exploring Derwent’s Reserve<br />

(England). I found out about<br />

Derwent village which was<br />

drowned (when a reservoir was<br />

created) and the remnants<br />

of the village resurfacing<br />

periodically. Using the tree as a<br />

subject to link to the woods and<br />

the village, I used expired Kodak<br />

film and shot on an old Agfa<br />

camera to get closer to the time<br />

when the village was drowned.<br />

– Fletcher Geoffrey<br />

McClelland, 21<br />

A couple of<br />

things are<br />

changing about<br />

ammunition and<br />

the Firearms<br />

Registry<br />

From 24 <strong>June</strong>, <strong>2025</strong>, some<br />

changes are happening relating<br />

to ammunition and the Firearms<br />

Registry. These will help us<br />

ensure ammunition is only being<br />

sold to current firearms licence<br />

holders, and support the smooth<br />

uptake of the Registry over the<br />

coming years. Here’s what you<br />

need to know.<br />

1. When buying ammunition, the sale will be recorded by the<br />

firearms dealer or ammunition seller<br />

On and from 24 <strong>June</strong> <strong>2025</strong>, the firearms dealer or ammunition seller selling<br />

you ammunition, must record the ammunition sale in the Firearms Registry<br />

using the online Dealer Transactions form. This is a record of the sale, not a<br />

registration of ammunition.<br />

As the licence holder, you do not need to record the ammunition you<br />

purchase. The Arms Regulations say the firearms dealer or ammunition<br />

seller needs to record the sale. This is at the time the ammunition is<br />

dispatched or handed over, or immediately after. As a licence holder, you<br />

should expect that when you purchase ammunition you’ll need to assist the<br />

dealer or ammunition seller with information required for the online Dealer<br />

Transactions form, for example, your firearms licence number.<br />

2. The first time you buy ammunition, you’ll need to register<br />

all your firearms – if you have not done so already<br />

After 24 <strong>June</strong> <strong>2025</strong>, licence holders will have an activating circumstance<br />

when they purchase ammunition from a firearms dealer or ammunition<br />

seller - if they haven’t already had one. This means you will need to register<br />

all the firearms and arms items in your possession within 30 days of<br />

purchasing ammunition, if you haven’t already registered your firearms.<br />

Once you have entered your details into the Firearms Registry, you must<br />

keep your information up to date when buying or selling arms items.<br />
