New chair for DWN

airy Women’s Network has a new skipper at the helm after Dlast week’s AGM, with incum- bent chair Justine Kidd stepping down and Cathy Brown of Pahoia being warmly welcomed into the role. Mrs Brown has been involved with DWN since the late 90s, first hearing about the organisation when she worked at CRV Ambreed. She quickly became a member of what was at that point a largely internet based network and attended the organisation’s first conference in 2001. She and her husband Peter have two teenage children and run a dairy farm in Galatea, a kiwifruit orchard in Te Puke and an avocado orchard in Pahioa, where they live. She says she is looking forward to being able to serve the organisation that has given her so much over the TC271016TCDWN years, and that she is so passionate DWN newly about. appointed “The Dairy Women’s Network is a chair Cathy great place to belong, and is extremely Brown (left) valuable to dairying women at any and retiring stage of their career,” she said. chair Justine “It is still nimble enough that it’s Kidd. able to respond quickly to the needs of its members and the industry, and does a wonderful job at providing relevant training, and is able provide support to its members when things aren’t going well, which happens from “Women really do and can influ- to grow. time to time.” ence change in our homes, our “What we do every day does Mrs Kidd will remain a support to communities and our countries,” she matter, it makes a difference, and I’d the Network and is also involved in a said. encourage all women in the primary number of other projects across the “Being a part of DWN provides an sector to keep up the great work and primary sector. opportunity to be part of something value what we do to contribute to the She had some words of encourage- that encourages, nurtures and outstanding sector and industry that ment for women in the dairy industry. provides opportunity for our influence we are.” Thursday, October 27, 2016 Te Awamutu Courier 9

Te Awamutu professional Hayden McCormick finished in the lead pack of the under-23 men’s race at the UCI Road Cycling Championships in Qatar. The 166km under-23 race was conducted around laps of a 15km loop of The Pearl Qatar in Doha, with the confined nature of the course and the extreme heat leading to a mass bunch finish comprising 50 riders.
