  • Connector June 2018
    NEWS ‘N VIEWS FROM THE GROUP | JUNE 2018 CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE Welcome back to all our members and their families who attended our fantastic Plumbing World Funtimes in Fiji convention in May, and I trust that everyone is now adjusting to the challenges of the early onset of our New Zealand winter. Conditions across the country are already treacherous, so I ask everyone in our NZPM, Metrix and Plumbing World businesses, and all of our co-operative members to please take extra care—especially on the roads—this winter. It was great to see over 230 people enjoying the events and camaraderie that our incredible Fiji shareholder trip offered, including around 100 members celebrating their first of what I’m sure will be many Plumbing World overseas conventions. With the next convention announced as Beijing in 2020, I expect that we’ll again see a big turnout, as shareholders continue to experience those unique and special benefits that membership of our co-operative offers. During the convention we delivered a business session where I outlined details of the NZPM Group’s strategic and co-operative focus, together with updates around our financial performance, the forecast rebate dividend and our Future Governance programme. Following this Rob Kidd talked about three key aspects of running your business in this modern era, which is becoming increasingly digitally and technologically challenging for us all. For those who didn’t make it to Fiji, all of this information together with an opportunity for you to ask questions or offer feedback about your co-operative will be provided during our forthcoming annual roadshows.

  • History of the Rotorua Branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand
    9 June 2017 History of the Rotorua Branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand The Branch was started in 1952, on the basis of meeting two conditions, namely embarking upon an approved project (getting a proper Rotorua Museum established), and starting a library. There was heavy involvement of the Branch in the Museum Project, through Jim Healy’s contribution to setting up a volcanological exhibit. From early on the Branch had a History Section, with Don Stafford heavily involved. The Section was instrumental in creating an exhibit on pioneering housing and clothing for the Museum, that being a personal project of Mostyn Thompson’s. When Rowland Burdon came on board in 1969 Hugo Hinds was President, with Gordon George (Vice President), John Campbell, Jim Healy, Geoff Fish, Eric Bodley (Treasurer) Selwyn Cooper and Jan Gifford on the Council. Hugo had been preceded by Dr Jack Doyle and was succeeded in order by Gordon George, then John Campbell, Dr Allan Pullar, and myself. Membership had reached an ebb that threatened the viability if the Branch but was boosted by vigorous recruiting among scientists at the Forest Research Institute. Nine meetings were held per year, aiming at a broad spread of topics except for a bias towards local scientific research. Rowland was secretary 1969-72; President 1978-80, 1990-8; and councillor almost continuously since 1969. The Museum was opened in 1970 in the Tudor Towers building, formerly the Government Bathhouse, funded by the City Council which then blocked any further input from the Branch, although the Branch continued to hold its meetings there for some years.

  • 12-105 Back from Proof Reader
    Inquiry RO-2012-105: Unsafe recovery from wrong-route at Wiri Junction, 31 August 2012 The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is an independent Crown entity established to determine the circumstances and causes of accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. Final Report Rail inquiry RO-2012-105 Unsafe recovery from wrong-route at Wiri Junction, 31 August 2012 Approved for publication: April 2016 Transport Accident Investigation Commission About the Transport Accident Investigation Commission The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (Commission) is a standing commission of inquiry and an independent Crown entity responsible for inquiring into maritime, aviation and rail accidents and incidents for New Zealand, and co-ordinating and co-operating with other accident investigation organisations overseas. The principal purpose of its inquiries is to determine the circumstances and causes of occurrences with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future. Its purpose is not to ascribe blame to any person or agency or to pursue (or to assist an agency to pursue) criminal, civil or regulatory action against a person or agency.

  • 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.
