The hydrant was on the road and prone to being run over. The lid didn’t fit very well so this always made quite a loud and annoying noise. And the hydrant leaked and undermined the road. According to one resident who has complained, Waipa District Council said it was a Transit issue because it was on a road. Transit said it was Council’s hydrant — so their problem. The hole meanwhile got bigger and the lid fell in on Tuesday, creating quite a potential hazard. Council filled it temporarily. Residents hope they don’t have a fire.

Organiser Jill Shaw reported at the club meeting that the street appeal collection in Te Awamutu raised in excess of $7000 which was a great result. Hard on the heels of this event was the club’s annual Home and Garden Ramble on November 2 as part of Scream Rosetown festival. Even the weather managed to co-operate for the garden spec- tacular. Robyn Atherton, chair of the Garden Ramble committee, reported that over $16,000 was raised from the event which far exceeded expectations. Proceeds from the ramble will be used to purchase an air mat- tress for the District Nurses to use in the community as well as funding numerous other club pro- jects such as the Altrusa Book Awards and the Vocational Scholarship. The following week the club hosted the Te Awamutu Bride of the Year competition, another Scream Rosetown festival event. This was a fundraising event with proceeds going to Plunket to 6607345AA assist with funding for their new building.

Te Awamutu Sports won the inaugural Cam- bridge Sevens tournament beating Ponsonby 15-12 WONT LAST AT THIS PRICE in an epic final. The scores were locked at 12-all after ordinary time, necessitating the game to go into extra time with the golden point rule being applied. Ponsonby made a break out five minutes into extra time and looked certain to score the match- winning try — only to see Te Awamutu Sports’ flyer Ryan Meacheam race back 60 metres to tackle the ball-carrier 10m short of the try line. Sports counter-attacked and, from a ruck inside the Ponsonby 22, the referee awarded them a penalty out in front of the posts. Thomas Bird stepped up and coolly slotted the drop goal to clinch the victory. Sports went through the day with an unblem- ished record, winning all their six games. Meacheam had an outstanding tournament, as did the Bird brothers, Tim and Thomas.
