Just a reminder that Game Bird Hunting season opens on Saturday 04 May 2019.
Fish and Game have detailed information for hunters.
Remember it’s prohibited to discharge any firearm in the settlement.
Pet owners: your dog or cat may be frightened by the shooting. There are several lakes nearby and there’s usually quite a bit of shooting from around 6.30 am on the opening day of the season. Check with your vet about how to handle this.

Saturday 19 January 2019 was a cool and slightly drizzly day, but a hardcore group turned out to make sand sculptures. Many thanks to Stephen Betts for the photos below of Fat cat, Dog and Bone, Air B&B Waikawa, Club Sandwich, Dragon, Volcano and Rabbit. Debra Betts did the judging and John Hewitson handled prize giving. Many thanks too to Frank Averes for his help and support.
Once again Barry Jordan has made available fantastic photos of the annual Sports Day event. There are a few below, but see his Flickr page for the whole lot.
BTW: can you spot the invisible egg?
Boat Day was held on 28 December 2018, and Barry Jordan took a lot of excellent photos. A few are below, but see all of them at his Flickr feed.
Many thanks Barry!
