Ashburton A&P showjumping convenor Annette Scott 03 307-7957 (middle), said the A&P Show may be a pared back version of its traditional self, thanks to Covid-19’s antics, but equestrian enthusiasm is still riding high, with over 450 entries competing across the weekend. Working like a well-oiled machine, event co-ordinator Chris Watson (left), course designer Roger Laplanche (second left), A&P president Peter Stewart (second right) and vice president Victor Schikker (right), had all the jumps set in place by yesterday afternoon. Scott said the jumping goes from 8.30am until the afternoon, both days and the public are welcome to come along and to watch some of the Heather Mackenzie best showjumpers in the country strut their stuff. “Entry is free. Families are welcome to bring a picnic and sit and enjoy the action,” she said.

Photograph by Ian Thomson 2 I NEW BOOKS A STRANGE BEAUTIFUL EXCITEMENT REDMER YSKA Katherine Mansfield’s Wellington 1888–1903 How does a city make a writer? Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years.

  • Available in Bookshops Nationwide
    Available in bookshops nationwide We BOOKS. The Booksellers New Zealand blog Book Review: Post Marks, by Leo Haks, Colleen Dallimore & Alan Jackson The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to New Zealand picture postcards beginning in 1897, when the first official postcard was published. The 25-year period that this book covers includes the boon years in New Zealand postcard production, 1903-1910 and World War 1. As a lifelong collector, Leo Haks wondered what visual material would catch his eye when he moved to New Zealand to live with his partner and co-author Colleen Dallimore. Good examples of early New Zealand photographs were hard to find: however, many had been reproduced as postcards. This book is the result of collecting postcards through eight years of buying postcards in second-hand shops, from dealers and on-line. Their other co-author Alan Jackson has been a collector since childhood – collecting postage stamps initially, then moving on to collect all things connected in some way with the post: New Zealand and other postal markings, pictorial postcards, cinderella stamps and stamps of the world, especially those relating to World War 1. He has also written extensively on these subjects. Some of the most interesting postcards in this book came from the collectors of the New Zealand Postcard Society. The Society’s quarterly magazine, Postcard Pillar , published its 100th edition in August 2013. It has also published an index of the first 30 years of Pillar postcards and its website offers articles from early editions of the magazine: postcard.org.nz .

Chris is a twenty- something games developer who began studying extramurally with Massey at the age of nine. Kevin is a now sixty-something jazz musician who at 57 gave up a 15 successful architectural practice to become a student on the Wellington campus. Chris lives in Seattle; Kevin in a Wellington seaside suburb. You might think of them as very different, but I see them as kindred spirits, for they share a consuming passion for what they are doing. Something else they share? Their responses when asked what difference their ages made to their experiences as students. As a teenager attending extramural block courses surrounded by students in their twenties and thirties, Chris would certainly have 16 stood out, but other than denoting a certain lack of life experience his youth was little impediment. Kevin too shrugs off the question of what it was like to be studying with students a good thirty years younger. There is nothing more democratising than talent and – that word again – passion. In fact, in the main the challenges faced by students, be they young or old, are the same.

This thesis is dedicated, in loving memory, to Glen Galt, 17th May 1947 - 16th March 2008, who will be remembered for his strength, humour, support and love of the cases contained in this thesis. Abstract This thesis contributes to the study of New Zealand historiography and gender historiography by examining female-to-male cross-gender identity and behaviour between 1906 and 1950. The primary source material is New Zealand media, specifically the New Zealand Truth newspaper. Sexological theories of the early twentieth century create a framework for reflection on language and ideas present in the New Zealand media. I will show, using both Foucauldian and feminist discourse analysis, the complex and discontinuous history of cross-gender identity and behaviour in New Zealand.
