And They Came to the Show MARCH 2016 Sisters Emily & Lilianne Parker, 3rd place getters - artwork And they came to the Show Congratulations to all competitors on making our indoor section such a beautiful sight and it was a real tribute to the fantastic efforts by our people. Also a huge thank you to our amazing team of volunteers : - from the wonderful stewards who turn up year after year - the local school students who prepared lunches and helped stewards - the front desk workers taking entries - and to our judges, some of whom came all the way from Kaikohe. It takes a lot of unpaid people to put on a show. We would love to have some new volunteers so please think about joining us next year.

At the January PPI meeting held at The Landing, a large poplar tree was spotted at rest, stuck in the middle of the creek after having floated down from higher up the waterway. A quick chat amongst members and a plan was hatched to clear it away. On the Monday of the long Waitangi weekend, Owen Stevens delivered his 2.8 tonne digger to the site and with the help of two other volunteers, Graeme Murray and Grant Coghlan and a couple of chainsaws, the job was done in two hours. The tree has been cut into three pieces, hauled out of the creek and left on the bank to dry. At a later date it will be cut into smaller pieces and removed. Longstanding Paparoa residents may recognise this part of the creek as the site of Paparoa Primary School’s swimming races in the 1950s, held here before the school had its own pool.

  • Paparoa 100.Pdf
    1 FOREWORD Dear Friends, In honour and memory of those who have ‘gone before’ and of those with whom we still have ‘fellowship’, this booklet has been produced as part of our Centennial Celebrations, and we trust that it will be a valuable record of the past century’s operations. Necessarily much has been omitted, but we trust that what is written here will be accepted in the spirit in which it has been presented, as we should all be deeply grateful for the BLESSINGS inherited. We should think of the opportunities we have and the liberty we enjoy compared with the early days — then the Church and the Home were the centres of Social activities and all were content — today the sphere of activity has moved outside the Church and Home, with resultant discontent and loss. Man thought that if he had more clothes, more leisure, more education, more material things, then he could do without GOD, but has discovered that if God and the eternal virtues are left out each NEVER SATISFIES. As the hymn puts ‘It — ‘WE TRIED THE BROKEN CISTERNS, LORD, BUT, AH, THE WATERS FAILED.’ To us of today the dress of yester-year may look strange, but inside that dress were folk who were a power for good in the community. Yes, they made mistakes, so do we: they had their limitations, so have we: they stood for something and knew what they stood for, do we? They had a clear goal before them and so sang with all their hearts — “A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE, A GOD TO GLORIFY, A NEVER DYING SOUL TO SAVE, AND FIT IT FOR THE SKY.” This was the basis for all their living and it matters not how we may have progressed materially, we can never get beyond that.

  • Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967
    Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 PREFACE This booklet is prepared as a Memorial to those who carried on the work of the Methodist Church in the Port Albert Circuit. Ministers, Home Missionaries and their wives; Students and Local Preachers, Youth Workers and all who have helped construct and maintain the buildings. Many whose names are not mentioned in this short history have contributed to and shared the Faith. Our especial thanks to Rev. E. W. Hames for preparing and writing this brief account. H. Neal and L. W. Bennett for Church Trust. "THE BEST OF ALL IS GOD IS WITH US." To give and give and give again What God has given thee To spend thyself nor count the cost To serve right gloriously The God who gave all worlds that are And all that are to be. (Studdart Kennedy) Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 Methodism in Port Albert It should not be necessary to tell again at length the 'story of the Albertland settlements. This has been done fully and ably in THE ALBERTLANDERS by Sir Henry Brett and Henry Hook, published 1927, and in the Albertland Centennial Booklet, 1962. The founders of the district planned to do on a smaller scale on behalf of English Nonconformists what had already been accomplished by the Scottish Free Church in Otago and by the Anglicans in Canterbury. It must not be forgotten that at this date the Nonconformists were still second-class citizens in England. Those who joined the Association were fired by the ambition to acquire broad acres in a country where they might hope to be free from the disabilities that still attached to them in the land of their birth.

  • Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations
    Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations in New Zealand 1863 to 2010 Researched & Written by Juliet Scoble for the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand JRS/291 © Juliet Scoble 4/2010 © Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand 4/2010 Introduction This document lists the names of railway stations and the dates they were opened and closed. Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find. Juliet Scoble 4/2010 Acknowledgements Most information has been obtained from the Rail Heritage Trust's Station Archive created and researched by Juliet Scoble, and from research specifically undertaken for this document.
