He also instructed Trustees Executors Ltd to set up a Deed of Arrangement to utilise the “residual” funds from his Estate, and invest them to provide a long-term income stream for our Club. The Estate was registered as a charitable entity by the Charities Commission on 30 June 2008. The Club at all times needs to be aware that the initial bequest and all subsequent income generated under the Deed may only be utilised by the Club for the following purposes: (a) The provision of coaching services at all grades; (b) the maintenance, upkeep and improvement of the grounds upon which the Club’s activities are centred or take place; (c) the provision of or improvement to the facilities and amenities of the Club, and (d) the general betterment of the Club as a whole, and the promotion of its interests. To ensure the income is so paid or applied in accordance with the terms of the Trust, it is a requirement that at all times there is an Advisory Committee of three persons who must give prior approval. Upon the death, retirement, resignation, or removal from the office of any Advisory Committee member the remaining two members will appoint another suitable person to fill the vacancy. The Advisory Committee shall make such rules and regulations to govern its functioning as it may determine and any such rules or regulations may from time to time be revoked, amended, replaced or modified with the unanimous approval of all Advisory Committee members. The current Advisory Committee office holders are Grant Dickson, Paul O’Flaherty, and Christopher Kennedy. In conjunction with the Trustees Executors, they have continued the “conservative growth portfolio” strategy established by the original Advisory Committee and Trustee Executors. At each balance date, annual accounts are prepared by the Trustees Executors, and once approved by the Advisory Committee the net income shall be paid to the Club by Trustees Executors Ltd after setting aside an agreed percentage to add to the Trust Capital. 7 RECORD OF MINUTES OF THE 113TH AGM (2018) BURNSIDE WEST CHRISTCHURCH UNIVERSITY CRICKET CLUB Inc.

  • Hagley Oval Section 71 Proposal - Further Information Available
    SUBMISSION ON S71 CHANGES TO THE DISTRICT PLAN - HAGLEY OVAL. My name iss9(2)(a I was part of a group that took part in the Environment Court EC and attended each day for 5 weeks. I learned during that case and subseq uently, to be wary of anything Canterbury Cricket Trust CCT says and even more so what they don't say. I have put in a submission on behalf of HO H, concentrating on amenity. This is my personal submission dealing with the proposed changes requested by CCT and their impact on Hagley Park and its other users. I believe that the use of S71 in this instance is wrong. The ability to question expert evidence and present opposing expert evidence is essential in this sensitive proposal. The RMA is the vehicle t hat can provide this. The minister is no doubt aware of the section in the letter of expectation that advises her regarding the use of S71, where the RMA could be used instead. Also the amendment to the Regenerate act proposed by the current minister Megan Wood and passed unanimously by Parliament protecting Hagley Park from the Regen Act. https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard This states: "But what we are saying is that when it comes to Hagley Park and the protections that have been built up over that piece of land, it actually is time to return to business as usual. When it comes to that particular taonga in the centre of our city, we do need to be able to say, it is if the earthquakes never happened and it is as if the bespoke legislation that is put in place to aid our recovery and our regeneration does not exist...."

    Christchurch City Council (Lancaster Park) Land Vesting Bill Local Bill Explanatory note General policy statement The purpose ofthis Bill is to facilitate the redevelopment ofLancaster Park as a modern sports stadium for the future. Lancaster Park opened in 1881 and has been the venue for many im- portant sporting moments in Canterbury's history. From its opening until the First World War, the Park was owned by a private company. In 1919 Parliament passed the Victory Park Act which vested title to the land at Lancaster Park in the Crown to be used for cricket, rugby and other sports, amusements, entertainments, and events. The Act recorded that Lancaster Park was to be held in trust for those purposes in commemoration ofthe Canterbury soldiers who died in the service of New Zealand in the First World War. The Act established the Victory Park Board to control and manage the Park. Although the Act was called the Victory Park Act, the Park continued to be known in Canterbury and New Zealand by its original name of Lancaster Park. In 1997 it was realised that the facilities at Lancaster Park were not coping with demands. The public and sporting codes were increas- ingly demanding better facilities that were more appropriate to the 21 st Century. With the international growth of rugby and cricket in the 1990s, it became apparent that only facilities of a high standard 196--1 Christchurch City Council (Lancaster 2 Park) Land Vesting Bill Explanatory note would be used by those sports. Retention ofbig sporting matches has an important and beneficial economic effect for Christchurch City and the Canterbury Province.

  • The Stadium Broadcast, a Radio Memorial Author: Dr Zita Joyce, University of Canterbury
    “We’re looking out through a window to a field of weeds and sand and stones”: The Stadium Broadcast, a radio memorial Author: Dr Zita Joyce, University of Canterbury Contact: Dr Zita Joyce [email protected] Media and Communication, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800 Christchurch 8140 New Zealand 1 “We’re looking out through a window to a field of weeds and sand and stones”: The Stadium Broadcast, a radio memorial Abstract: This paper explores the scope of small-scale radio to create an auditory geography of place. It focuses on the short term art radio project The Stadium Broadcast, which was staged in November 2014 in an earthquake-damaged sports stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand. Thousands of buildings and homes in Christchurch have been demolished since the Februrary 22, 2011 earthquake, and while Lancaster Park sports stadium is still standing, it has been unused since that date and its future remains uncertain. The Stadium Broadcast constructed a radio memorial to the Park’s 130 year history through archival recordings, the memories of local people, observation of its current state, and a performed site-specificity. The Stadium Broadcast reflected on the spatiality of radio sounds and transmissions, memory, post-disaster transitionality, and the im-permanence of place. 2 The Stadium Broadcast Introduction A long sequence of earthquakes affecting Christchurch city and the broader Canterbury region began on 4 September 2010, with the most damaging aftershock on 22 February, 2011, a magnitude 6.3 quake located under the hills on the southern edge of the city (Geonet, n.d.).
