I am sure all bowlers will be looking forward to the summer season following the disappointments experienced due to the restrictions of Covid-19. Some of the Centre’s events last season were initially postponed and finally when reprogrammed for August/September had to be cancelled due to a resurgence of the Covid-19 virus. All Clubs will have suffered due to lack of income during this period and some will be grappling with the prospect of converting their greens from lawn to artificial. Surely if a cost saving exercise is the motive for this decision, then capital finance must come into the equation. As regards Bowls 3Five, Bowls New Zealand has relaxed the rules regarding finding the Centre’s team to compete in the national competition. This year Clubs will be able to run their own competition and provide a team to compete in the Centre’s final’s weekend, with the winning team going forward to Bowls NZ knock-out tournament. Clubs will welcome the increased Sky TV time that has been arranged for this year and should consider membership drives to coincide with this exposure. Bowls Bay of Plenty Inc. 2020/2021 | 3 4 | Bowls Bay of Plenty Inc. 2020/2021 At the Annual Meeting, clubs decided to start a Baywide Sevens Inter-club competition in the 2021-22 season. The winner of the round- robin event will be the Centre’s entry in the Bowls NZ Interclub competition. Allowance is available for smaller Clubs to enter a combined team (men’s and women’s membership of 20 and less each), thus giving all bowlers access to New Zealand titles. We cannot continue to enjoy our great game without the support of volunteers and we thank you all. A highlight of the season was the successful hosting of the Summerset national fours by the Mount Maunganui Club, using greens in Tauranga and Rotorua. The championship went smoothly – so well that Bowls New Zealand hinted we should put in further hosting applications. Success for local teams were Mount’s Nick Tomsett, finishing third equal in the Summerset national men’s singles held in Christchurch, and Graham Skellern winning the New Zealand Disabled B5-B8 singles. Taupo/ Ngongotaha’s Wendy Green, Lynette McIntosh, Huia Ratana and Doreen Ryan, were runners up in Summerset Women’s fours at the Mount. Congratulations to you all. It shows Bay of Plenty continues to be a force to be reckoned with. On behalf of the Bowls Bay of Plenty Board. I wish all Club players an enjoyable, successful new season and we look forward to meeting you on the green.

  • Over the Years
    OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

Regional resistivity measurements and fluid chemistry surveys suggest that the Reporoa system is a lateral outflow of hot water from the Waiotapu Geothermal System to the north-east. A deep exploratory drillhole, encountered a sequence of lacustrine sediments, volcanic, tuffaceous and ignimbritic rocks. The well was discharged in October 1966, but was shut down after 5 hours during which time wellhead pressure fell from to Downhole temperatures in were measured after 47 days of heating and showed a significanttemperature inversion between and which is interpreted to be caused by hot water at about depth flowing above a cooler water influx.

New Zcaland 2. TAUPO VOLCANIC ZONE The Taupo Volcanic Zone Fig. 1) is the consequence of plate subduction beneath the North Island of New Zcaland. ABSTRACT The thin continental crust (-15 km, Stem and Davey, 1987) spreads at rates up to 18 (Darby and Williams, 1991) Silicic calderas and geothermal systems in Taupo Volcanic in active rifting and subsidence. Since c. 1.6 Ma, the Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand are spatially related. Eight calderas, central TVZ has been the most frequently active and productive active since 1.6 Ma, occupy 45% of the Boundaries of region of rhyolitic volcanism on earth (Houghton et al., 1994). calderas arc often speculative, but of 20 geothermal systems producing an estimated 10 - 15 of rhyolite, and considercd, 15 occur on or next to a caldera margin where there is subordinate dacite, andesite and basalt. Debate continues whether enhanced deep permeability: the best examples are at Haroharo TVZ is a migrating andesitic arc and zone of asymmetric crustal where systems occur at the intersection of volcanic lineations and spreading (eg. Stem, or an andesite-dacite arc with bimodal caldera embayments, and at Rotorua. Drillhole evidence supports rhyolite-basalt back arc (eg. Cole, 1990). Whichever is the case, a realignment of caldera margin through the Wairakei- it is a matter of observation that most geothermal fields are geothermal field.
