The Sporting Trials cars are a great al- ternative to the conventional ‘go-carts’ for straight out enjoyment for young enthusi- asts, enabling convenient driver training and acquiring technical skills in a safe and fun environment incorporating a competi- tive feel. The cars are also used in everyday situa- tions such as farm buggies and for weekend trail rides through forest tracks. Sunday’s event was one of four rounds held throughout the year and attracted 21 drivers from all over the North Island.

But founding member June Bright says there were no funds to rent any- thing else, so they made the most of the old building on Sloane Street “It was set up as a drop in centre, but we knew it was ‘home’ for only a limited time until the lease ran out. “It was pretty cold and damp there too, so a chip heater was installed for warmth and one of our regular visitors used to use it make soup on.” The centre was offi cially opened by MP Katherine O’Regan and a board of signatures shows local business people, medical staff, school teachers and even a former Te Awamutu Courier editor (Ted Hunwick) all supported its formation. But the next chapter is due to be writ- ten in its history books as another new home is required.
