The Te Awamutu Rowing Club member has just been named in the New Zealand Junior Team and admits hearing her name read out was a real ‘‘buzz’’. ‘‘I was a bit nervous as I had just missed out on the team last year and I was determined to make it this year.’’ Hannah, 18, is training with the Waikato Regional Performance Centre (RPC) after her most successful season to date. TC010512CA06 ‘‘I won gold in the under 21 quad and eight, silver TE AWAMUTU Rowing Club member Hannah Osborne has been named in the New Zealand Junior Team. in the under 21 double, and bronze in the under 21 single and four at the 2012 national championships. ‘‘My results have given me plenty of encourage- ment and made me more enthusiastic than ever.’’ She says stepping up to full-on trainings, which include rowing at least 20km each session, as well as weights and ergs, was a bit of a shock to her system, but she is loving being part of the high performance system. ‘‘It’s obviously a lot of hard work, but it’s certainly worth it.’’ Hannah has been selected as a New Zealand Junior Rowing representative for the World Cham- pionships to be held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in August. ‘‘Rowing New Zealand is only sending four junior crews to this regatta, so I am proud to be a part of the women’s junior quad.’’ Hannah will be rowing alongside Natalie Hill (Rotorua), Ruby Tew (Central RPC) and Zoe McBride (Dunedin). However, to compete at the World Championships she has to come up with $8000 to cover international airfares, medical and travel insurance, accommo- dation, tour and racing uniform and transport to and from the lake. ‘‘I am currently looking for sponsorship to fund my travels overseas. ‘‘Unfortunately, like most New Zealand sports, rowing is experiencing a shortfall in funding and I have limited personal resources. ‘‘I would be grateful for any sponsorship or donations to help me represent New Zealand.’’

Tui Trust has released its latest publication — No¯ Tuawhakarere — Te Rohe Po¯tae: through the lens. This is the second publication produced by Tui Trust, a charitable organisation based in Waitomo. The trust undertakes cultural, educational and environmentally based projects. Trustees Shane Te Ruki and Piki Knap have spent more than three years collating images from public libraries, museums and other collections to bring together a book of beautiful images that portray Maori life in the Te Rohe Potae region between the late 1800s and early 1900s. The book features more than 160 photo- graphs. Mr Te Ruki has produced three other books and is from Ngati Unu of the Kakepuku Mountain district. It is the first publication for Miss Knap who is from Ngati Rora, a central hapu of Ngati Maniapoto based in Te Kuiti. This is the first book of its kind for the Te Rohe Potae (King Country) region and the intention is for it to inspire whanau, hapu and iwi toward recording and preserving their own taonga photographs and cultural treasures for future generations. All proceeds from the book will contribute toward the activities of Tui Trust.

■ The book is available for sale from TRENZ store in Te Kuiti, online through Academy Books www.academybooks.co.nz or via the Tui Trust office in Waitomo. TE AWAMUTU COURIER, TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2012 9 Visitors invited to explore CourierTe Awamutu
