Let’s hope it is a better year and that all branches can have their meetings and outings with no more interruptions like last year. Our Conference /AGM is in Tauranga this year and there will be vacancies on the National Executive as our National Secretary Maureen is not intending to stand again after 10 years of service. I thank her for the great job she has done over this time.There are several others on the committee who are also not intending to be nominated again and I encourage members in all branches to consider joining the National Committee. I would like to see a wider representation of branches as this gives more input to how the executive can work on the branches behalf. This year we welcome a new branch in Tauranga and hope to see some members at the conference. I will be attending their first meeting on 3rd February. By the time this goes to press we will hopefully have a new branch in Thames as well. The executive members are attending on 24th February, an inaugural meeting to set up a branch in this area. I wish all branches a happy successful year and you can recruit new members to our movement. Take Care. Alison EDITORIAL Greetings all and a Happy 2021 to you. We’ve had a great collection of branch activity reports and some beautiful photographs to go with them in this issue. Items from Hibiscus Coast, Taupo, Matamata and two items each from Silverstream and Hastings. Every one of them makes really interesting reading. It’s so heartening to see that everyone is out and about, enjoying activities again after the lock-down duing the earlier part of last year. Lets hope that it will stay that way, especially with the help of the vaccines that are due to be delivered later on this year. My only concern is that I still can’t catch up with my son and his young family in WA, Australia so I’m hoping that this year will be a turning point for traveling ‘over the ditch’ as well. In the meantime - thank goodness for the Internet! Until the next issue - Cheers from Jacqui Page 4 60’sUp Focus HIBISCUS COAST BRANCH 7 OCTOBER 2020 – OUR MYSTERY TRIP REVEALED On a cloudy but fine day we assembled at the RSA around 8.00am for our journey. A“guess the destination’, competition, entry fee $1.00, was held and 6 members selecting Hamilton shared the prize pool. Hamilton at 20km distance was the nearest location to the actual destination Cambridge. So off we went at around 8.30am on an uneventful trip broken by a comfort stop a Drury. However, we were well entertained by our driver Chris Couch with his amusing and well informed commentary. Cambridge Golf Club was our venue for lunch and a 2 course meal of roast pork and veges followed by ice cream and fruit salad was much enjoyed by all.Tea, coffee and the hard stuff from the bar were also available. It was interesting to learn that our tour leader Margaret is a former member of the golf club and we were well looked after by the genial club manager. Once lunch was over, we were off to the Avantidrome (velodrome) for exercise on the community trikes. Don the safety helmet, jump on the trike (3 wheeler bike) and burn off the lunch or take a gentle pedal around the designated circuit. A talk from a staff member proved very interesting outlining the community and extended use of this magnificent facility. It was staggering to learn that a track bike used by NZ Team Racing cyclists costs $60,000. We ran out of time to visit Lake Karapiro but perhaps another day. A good trip home arriving at 5.45pm so it was a long day and from this writer’s viewpoint, a wonderful day - thank you Margaret. Frank Townley - Hibiscus Coast Branch 60’sUp Focus Page 5 SILVERSTREAM BRANCH Silverstream’s 60s Up learnt much from a talk given by Colonel Terry McBeth on the Poppy Places Trust. About seven years ago, Terry was reflecting on his time as an Army recruit in Waiouru in 1961. The barracks were named after various World War II fields of operation, but there was no indication of why they were so named. The officers may have known, but the recruits didn’t. While attending the Dawn Parade at the Russell Street War Memorial, Hastings, in 2013, Terry wondered about the significance of the name Russell and subsequently discovered that General Sir Andrew (Guy) Russell, a Hawkes Bay farmer, had commanded all the New Zealand troops in France in World War I. A man who wept over the loss of 1000’s of men. That history was almost lost to us. Only a small and shrinking number of citizens are aware of the significance of the military names of our streets and Terry wondered whether we could get these places identified and perhaps have a poppy on the relevant street signs. Out of that came the Poppy Places Trust. After approaching the RSA and the NZTA, the minister signed off a regulation allowing a poppy on street signs.

    6.0 Appendices Hibiscus Coast Subdivision 1.0 Introduction and Background Section Heading - sub text Figure 24. Army Bay. Charlotte Grieve, 2016. 6.1 Analysis Maps Hibiscus Coast Subdivision Auckland Context This map shows the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area in its wider context within the Auckland Isthmus, located along the east coast of the North Shore. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is split into two subdivisions; Hibiscus Coast Subdivision and East Coast Bays Subdivision. For the purposes of the analysis mapping that follows, each subdivision has been presented separately in order to allow the information to be read at a legible scale. The area is bordered by Rodney, Upper Harbour, and Devonport - Takapuna Local Board areas. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is home to a number of local town centres, including Orewa, Whangaparaoa, Silverdale, Northcross, Browns Bay, and Mairangi Bay. At this scale there are a number of items of interest to be considered in the creation of a Greenways network: • The Te Araroa national walkway runs along the coast of this area. • There are no rail services to the area. • SH1 runs along the western edge of the Hibiscus Coast subdivision. • The board area has an extremely high ratio of coastline to land area. • In terms of overall size, this is one of the largest non-rural board areas. A more detailed analysis of the underlying factors that have shaped this Greenways plan is explained in this section, the Hibiscus Coast subdivision first, followed by East Coast Bays.

A magnetic North steering tool (transmitter) located in a non-magnetic steering head utilizes true magnetic north to obtain direction (Azimuth). A wire inside every drill rode transports the information back to the drill operator and is displayed on a laptop. This system requires no above ground walkover and is ideal for river crossings, deep drills under built up areas and deep drills through hills or bluffs. Special computer software interprets the transmitter information and plots a long section and plan of the pilot drills progression.
