They always say that in a community you have everything that you need. A chance conversation down at the Seafarers Centre some time ago and Seafarers Chaplain John McLister found out that one of his volunteers had learned how to play church bells many years ago in Devon. He stored that information away thinking that one day that information might come in handy. It was a desire of the late John Cleaver, a long time Lyttelton resident and parishioner at the former Holy Trinity that when the Anglican Church was rebuilt after the earthquakes the bell tower would be rebuilt. John left a sum of money to the church and along with many other generous donors a new bell tower has been built in the grounds of St Saviours at Holy Trinity. The Seafarers Chaplain John McLister is now also the Vicar at Saint Saviours at Holy Trinity and he remembered his conversation with a bell ringer at the Seafarers Centre some years ago. The volunteer at the Seafarers Centre was Stewart Henry, so he approached him to ring the newly commissioned bell. “When I was at University in Torquay Devon studying to be a construction engineer, we had to do one term of whatever you liked. Camponology – how to ring bells, was one of the electives and so I spent 10 weeks learning how to ring church bells. This elective was possible because one of our tutors did this as a hobby.

  • Paradigm Shift Five-Year Strategic Plan 2005-2010 June 2006 3 Garry Moore Christchurch of Mayor
    Paradigm Shift Five-year Strategic Plan 2005-2010 July 2006 VISION The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu will take a key leadership role in making Christchurch’s Cultural Precinct and Worcester Boulevard the most visited cultural tourism site in New Zealand. The Gallery is ideally placed to take this lead with its iconic building, strategic location at the heart of the Cultural Precinct and the Gallery’s programmes inviting visitors to live the Precinct’s core values of expanding cultural horizons and enriching senses. The Gallery wants to grow the public’s perception of art as it commits to new audiences by building a new, stimulating visitor experience and develop the brand. The Gallery recognises its key audiences are the families/whanau of Christchurch, international visitors to the City, domestic visitors, educational groups and special audiences. The Gallery strives to connect people with art – emotionally and intellectually. We celebrate art and the creative spirit. The Gallery knows where it stands and has global reach. The Gallery educates, inspires discovery and preserves the legacy of artistic achievement for the people of Canterbury and New Zealand through collecting, presenting, interpreting and conserving quality works of art. The Gallery wants to be recognised locally, nationally and internationally as innovative, with quality collections and programmes, and for the enjoyment and appreciation of art it brings all its audiences. The Gallery will set a standard of excellence in all its endeavours. FOREWORD Change is always a difficult process as it challenges us to think outside our familiar boundaries. It takes courage, commitment and tenacity to enact change, exactly what the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu has done during the last six months with the Paradigm Shift.

  • Society Celebrates the Acquisition of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock
    Newsletter, December 2010 Society celebrates the acquisition of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock Sunday 21 November was a day of celebration for the Society. Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock were handed over to the Society from the Gama Foundation. On a beautiful day, with magnificent views from the Gibraltar Rock car park, a group of Society members gathered to hear Gama Foundation trustees Grant & Marilyn Nelson, Society President Bill Woods, and Garry Moore talk about the importance of the land and its transfer to the Society, helping advance our aim of protecting the upper reaches of the Port Hills. Omahu Bush is on the western side of the Port Hills, along the Summit Road past the Sign of the Bellbird and stretches from the Gibraltar Rock car- park down towards Tai Tapu. The total land area is 146 hectares and is subject to Queen Elizabeth II covenants. It includes the volcanic outcrop of Gibraltar Rock, an easily accessed block of native bush, with a wide variety of native trees and ferns, native birds such as bellbirds and fantails, and several walking tracks, ranging from 30 minutes to two hours duration, and great views. Grant and Marilyn Nelson with Garry Moore A history of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock Omahu, the Maori name meaning ‘running silently’, ‘escaping’ and ‘a place of healing’, was given to the area following the escape through the bush by several of the followers of a Maori chief who had been killed in a skirmish on Coopers Knob. The land was part of Sir Heaton Rhodes’ Otahuna estate.

Villeneuve2 and I. Walsh2 ABSTRACT At 12.51 pm (NZST) on 22 February 2011 a shallow, magnitude MW 6.2 earthquake with an epicentre located just south of Christchurch, New Zealand, caused widespread devastation including building collapse, liquefaction and landslides. Throughout the Port Hills of Banks Peninsula on the southern fringes of Christchurch landslide and ground damage caused by the earthquake included rock-fall (both cliff collapse and boulder roll), incipient loess landslides, and retaining wall and fill failures. Four deaths from rock-fall occurred during the mainshock and one during an aftershock later in the afternoon of the 22nd. Hundreds of houses were damaged by rock-falls and landslide-induced ground cracking. Four distinct landslide or ground failure types have been recognised. Firstly, rocks fell from lava outcrops on the Port Hills and rolled and bounced over hundreds of metres damaging houses located on lower slopes and on valley floors. Secondly, over-steepened present-day and former sea-cliffs collapsed catastrophically. Houses were damaged by tension cracks on the slopes above the cliff faces and by debris inundation at the toe of the slopes.
