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 />

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 />

encouraged his volunteer work.<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 />
