Two new vans for health shuttle fleet

arlier this year we reported on the success of fundraising for a new van for the Te Awamutu Community HealthE Transport Trust. Prior to Covid lockdown, the trust was able to receive and bless the new Mercedes van to replace the 2011 Ford Transit that has seen nearly a decade of service. Then the service went on hold due to the Covid alert level restriction, but the vehicle was put to good use by the Western Waikato Emergency Operation Centre. Post-lockdown, the trust was able to reinstate their valuable service — and the generosity of funders and donors for the original campaign meant the committee was in a position to also look at replacing their second vehicle, a Toyota van. Chairwoman Robyn Atherton says Te Awamutu Community Health Transport Trust volunteers and trustees, from left: Lyn McNickle, Robyn Atherton, Helen Neale, Evan Davidson, Murray the support was overwhelming and Johnson, Chris Johnstone, Murray Olson, Eoin Morrison, Nick Tautari, Morris Griffin.

Since 1918 the event has been commemorated in many countries. A wreath laying Armistice Day Service was held at Te Awamutu’s Cenotaph, Anzac Green at 11am — the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month. Mayor Jim Mylchreest presented the dedication followed by RSA president Lou Brown reading out the familiar poem In Flanders Fields by poet and soldier John McCrae. RSA vice president Peter Watson concluded the Armistice service by thanking everyone for their attendance. “It’s great to see you all here after such a tough year and not having an Anzac service,” said Peter.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Several wreaths were presented by various Te Awamutu groups at the 2020 Armistice Day ceremony. Photos / Jesse Wood
