Hundreds of people converged on the Farmers Air pavilion area to watch former world champion blade shearer Peter Casserly from Canterbury cut the wool off her. The ewe’s fleece length was measured and verified at 58 centimetres, 3cm longer than the previous Guinness Book of Records mark set in Masterton in 2018 when another wild sheep was shorn. It took Casserly about 15 minutes to give Gizzy Shrek her haircut. “She was as good as gold about it, very well behaved,” he said. “I think she loved it. She was very relaxed the whole time.” The fleece was quite “fluffy” on her back but there was a lot of it around the shoulders. Casserly used shearing blades rather than an electric shaver to add to the novelty of the event. The 72-year-old is the world recordholder for sheep shorn by hand blades in a nine-hour period. Gizzy Shrek’s fleece weighed 14.5kg, well short of the world record for weight. “The wool quality was pretty good,” said Show wool head steward Ross Buscke. “It was sound as a bell. It never had a LIGHTENING HER LOAD: Former world champion Peter Casserley, break in it and the colour was remarkable.” with help from former New Zealand dog trials team captain Ginger Casserly said he felt a bit of tension ahead Anderson, makes his way through the fleece of Gizzy Shrek in front of the job. of a large crowd that surrounded the stage at the Poverty Bay “I felt a bit nervous about it but it always A&P Show on Saturday.

  • A Transcript of Prime Minister John Key's Speech to the Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce Function, 2Nd July 2015. Good
    A transcript of Prime Minister John Key's speech to the Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce function, 2nd July 2015. Good afternoon. Thank you Peter for that warm welcome and for the Chamber's hosting of this event. It's good to see so many of you here today. Can I start by acknowledging Mayor Lianne Dalziel and other local body representatives from around the region. Just as central government has to make some tough decisions and trade-offs, so too do councils as we work together to rebuild this city. Together, we're making significant progress. Although, of course, there is still much to do. I'd also like to acknowledge my ministerial colleagues Gerry Brownlee, Amy Adams and Nicky Wagner. Gerry has provided strong leadership in overseeing what continues to be one of New Zealand's largest and most complex undertakings. Most recently he has been turning his mind to where we go following the expiry of the special earthquake recovery laws next April. I'll have some more to say about that in a few minutes. As we've said before, the estimated cost of the rebuild is around $40 billion. As a proportion of the economy, this makes it one of the most expensive natural disasters in the developed world. So thanks to all of you here who have worked so hard since the first earthquake in September 2010. I want to start today by talking about the economy and the significant contribution Canterbury makes to it. A strong and growing economy allows us to provide essential public services like hospitals and schools, and support our most vulnerable families.

These are important evenings for the boys, families and staff of this level. All students who attend our College are first and foremost young men of Whitefriars. We want every boy who enters our gates each day to be free to be themselves, participate in the life of the College and feel supported along the way. That is why having a strong sense of connection is such an important resilience factor for adolescents. This sense of connection extends into each of the Houses to which the boys belong. Year 7 students are learning about life through their own experience and through the words and deeds of older boys. It was lovely to see these older students at each of our House Mass and Dinner gatherings so far. They have presented themselves in a very gentle and assured way. These evenings are also a good opportunity to hear from parents about how their sons have transitioned to Whitefriars from their various primary school settings. We have been very pleased with the comments heard to date.

    Number of Electorates and Electoral Populations: 2013 Census Embargoed until 10:45am – 07 October 2013 Key facts The number of electorates will increase from 70 to 71 at the next general election. The number of North Island general electorates will increase from 47 to 48. The number of Māori electorates will remain at seven. The number of general electorates in the South Island is set at 16 by the Electoral Act 1993.
