Compiled and Edited by Jackie Brown-Haysom A church which has lost its memory of the past can only wander about aimlessly in the present, and despair of its future. Having lost its identity, it will lose its mission and its hope as well. -David C. Steinmets. Many people have contributed in one way or another to the creation of this book. It is not possible to name them all, but I would like to make special mention of those who took the time to put their memories onto paper, and also of Alec Utting, Joycelyn Pratt and Simon Brown-Haysom, who went the extra mile to help this get published.

BEING THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN THIS PLACE Memories of Birkenhead Methodist parish 1880—2005 For the 125th anniversary of the Birkenhead Methodist Parish we have chosen the theme, Being the People Of God In This Place. We celebrate, not the length of our presence as Methodist people in Birkenhead, but the presence of God among us, encouraging us to be God’s people. The story began in 1854 when William Creamer wrote to Rev John Whitely of Kawhia Methodist Mission, indicating that he was wanted to set aside a parcel of land in Birkenhead for a Methodist Church. The land was given in 1866 to the Auckland Methodist Circuit, but no church built until 1880. By then the Birkenhead Methodists felt strong enough to commit themselves to a far reaching development, the results of which we have inherited, and we now celebrate. This resolve went hand in hand with the establishment of Chelsea sugar works, where many of the early Methodists were employed. The small octagonal chapel which they built - now incorporated in the eastern end of the hall - soon proved too small. A larger Church was built, opening on March29 1885. It is this date that has determined the timing of our celebrations. Page 3 Being the People of God in this Place by J. Brown-Haysom From this beginning the Parish grew to include Birkdale, Beach Haven, Glenfield, Northcote, Albany and Greenhithe. In their time these people sought to be the people of God. In our time we too seek to be God’s people in this place. Birkenhead today is a very different place. From scattered farms and orchards it became first a rural village, then a borough, and now part of a conurbation stretching from Bombay to Orewa. Today it is a suburb of North Shore City. With each step of growth in the community have come similar steps of growth as those inspired by God have sought to be God’s people in this place. Through new ways of living worshipping and witnessing to God’s glory. Remembering all this growth we celebrate 125 years of God’s leading us to be the people of God. But that is not all. Remembering our beginnings and celebrating our history gives us a unique opportunity to open our vision to the next steps that need to be taken, so that we may continue to be the people of God. An anniversary looks at the past, but is also a time to seek inspiration and direction for the future. There is no doubt that the challenge of living in a secular techno world is changing the church once again. The next generation of those who lead the church need to be aware that it is not the God of the past who guides us but the God of the present. And they need to be committed to the presence of the present God who draws them into the future. For God is never still, never silent, always growing into future, towards opportunity, offering insight, and developing life. Let’s celebrate! We celebrate the past that has become the present and will allow us to become God’s future people in this place. -Rev David Pratt, Presbyter 2000 — 2005 Page 4 Being the People of God in this Place by J. Brown-Haysom THE MEN FROM THE MINISTRY For the first twenty years of its existence, Zion Hill had no regular minister. Sometimes parishioners conducted the services themselves; at other times the minister from Pitt St or, after 1882, the sole representative of the newly established North Shore circuit, then based in Devonport, made the journey to Birkenhead. The small community didn’t allow itself to be limited by the absence of a permanent presbyter, however, initially scheduling Sunday School for 2pm, followed by a 3pm service of worship. By 1882, when the North Shore Circuit came into being, it was holding regular morning and evening services. With a far-flung congregation and Sunday School still in the afternoons, this must have meant that many families spent much of the day either at church, or traveling to and from it. Although the ministers of the time were visitors rather than permanent residents, they still managed to make an impression on the parish. Souvenier, the parish’s 50th anniversary booklet, recalls the characteristics of each. The first appointee to the North Shore Circuit, G W J Spence, “sowed the precious seed with faithful zeal”, while his successor, Parsonson, of “gentle temperament mid stormy times, was sometimes harshly judged”. Next was Dewsbury, “a man of intellect and will” and a gifted preacher. The next incumbent, John Dukes, is said to have described himself as a ram’s horn rather than a silver trumpet, although, the booklet says, the notes he played were true. Then followed Josiah Ward, “homely and full of ardour, zeal and jest”, Hudson, a gifted preacher who spent only a year in the circuit, and Crump, an older man said to have had a youthful heart. Best beloved of the men who filled the pulpit during Zion Hill’s first decade, however, was C E Beecroft, who is remembered as “earnest and eloquent, forgetting nothing but his own convenience.” It was during Beecroft’s term of office, in the late 1880s, that a second minister was appointed to the North Shore Circuit. The new appointee, a young man named A B Chappell, was a scholar, musician, and athlete, giving his best to all he undertook — even, the book says, to chopping tea tree on a country road. The successful completion of Zion Hill’s hall in 1902 is credited, in large measure, to his energetic pursuit of the project. That same year the church acquired its first fulltime minister, William Greenslade from the gold mining settlement of Waihi. Described as ‘hopeful and earnest, knowing among us naught save Christ alone, he and his new wife worked hard to beautify the interior of the church before their departure in 1906. G S Cook, was appointed at the same time as Birkenhead became a circuit in its own right. With preaching responsibilities that now included the church at Northcote, and fledging congregations at Birkdale, Glenfield and Albany, it is probably fortunate that he was “a gifted preacher [and] splendid organizer”. Page 5 Being the People of God in this Place by J. Brown-Haysom When ill health forced him to retire in 1909 T G (Tom) Carr [see over] took his place. Carr was an older man, but devoted his energies to consolidating and extending the new circuit, assisted by Rev J D Jory. T F Jones, who arrived in 1913, “by his Christ-like character, won the esteem and love of all”, especially children, many of whom, it was said, would “through their entire life, cherish fond memories of their association with him and Mrs Jones”. Construction of the Glenfield Mission Hall took place during his tenure. Harold Sharp was next. As a young, “impetuous” man, he found it difficult to be in parish ministry during World War I. He “heard the insistent call for still more men and felt his rightful place was with the men afield”, finally leaving in something of a hurry to become an army chaplain. Before his departure, however, he had the privilege of presiding at Birkenhead’s first ever ANZAC Day service, on April 23, 1917. The circuit was vacant for some months before accepting Percy Cook, who had returned from the trenches physically and emotionally damaged. Fortunately “the health-reviving air of Zion Hill restored somewhat his old time strength and vigour” and he went on to have a successful time in the parish, during which the Northcote Sunday School rooms were built and Old Folks’ Day celebrations began. R B Gosnell, another minister with health problems, spent a year helping in the circuit during Cook’s tenure. William A Burley had a seriously ill wife. “The distraction due to this continuous strain and burden of anxiety and care, made thorough supervision of a circuit a task beyond the powers of human being”, yet Burley did not neglect his work and retained a cheery manner. J H Allen was newly ordained, but youthful zeal made up for inexperience, endearing him to the people of the circuit. When he left, just before the 50th anniversary celebrations in 1930, the circuit was in good heart.

  • Seagulls on the Wing
    PART II Seagulls on the wing W. T. (Bill) WILLIAMS 1945-66 BRIAN LEWIS 1967-97 FOREWORD IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES an effort has been made to collate the records of the Sandy Bay Football Club from its inception, and renew acquaintances with all the great players who have worn the Club’s Blue and White Guernsey. Months of research have resulted in the compilation of this comprehensive record, and if perchance some name or names or facts have been omitted the writers offers their apologies. During the years of the Second World War and particularly 1942-43 seeds were sown for the introduction of district football in Hobart and sub- urbs. Many were sceptical of the success, but it was obvious that now was the time to implement the scheme if district football was to succeed. The big barrier was the breaking of old club ties, but with the suspension of League football during the war years and the retirement of most of the pre- war champions the powers that be decided in favour of the new scheme. In 1945 we saw four district Clubs provide the football namely Sandy Bay, North Hobart, New Town and Hobart. In 1947 Clarence and New Norfolk were admitted to the competition. The teams remained unchanged until 1986 when East and North Launceston were admitted. In 1987 the Burnie Hawks and the Devonport Blues were also admitted to form a Statewide League. The number of teams remained the same until the 1994 season when Launceston was admitted, thus creating a bye. No further change occurred until 1997 when all teams handed in their licenses and unfortu- nately the rest is history.

  • Trolley Bus Tribulations
    TROLLEYBUS TRIBULATIONS Presenters: Craig Tooke (MTPA), Bruce Dale (THS) & Peter Beale (WTM) Trolleybus preservation seems to be well established in New Zealand and various museums in Australia have vehicles stored in varying states of preservation. However actual operation of the vehicles only occurs at Ferrymead in Christchurch. (noting occasional historic operation on the streets in Wellington). What are the prospects for operation in Australia? Could a national trolleybus museum be established operating vehicles currently held by the various tramway museums? Where should it be located? Is is a COTMA function to facilitate this? Following a short video presentation, Bruce Dale opened by supplying the following synopsis of the situation at Ferrymead. • Trolley Bus preservation in Christchurch happened as part of' a long term vision to have all forms of urban transport - horse, steam and electric trams, cable car, trolley and diesel buses - preserved on one site. • In 1966 I happened to be working for a transport Company that had the body of English Electric trolley bus No 210 that they planned to turn into a staff mess room. Fortunately for us, this never happened. • With the donation of 210, the Society mounted an all our effort to acquire the ancillary equipment needed to make a trolley bus system operable. • Jointly with the Wellington Tramway Museum, we put in a tender for the entire New Plymouth trolley bus system. This included the overhead, trolley buses and ancillary equipment. The project was to be self funded from the sale of half the overhead, the rest to be split between the two museums.

  • Colonial Helpmeets, Carnival Queens and Beauty Contestants
    New Zealand Journal of History, 51, 1 (2017) Colonial Helpmeets, Carnival Queens and Beauty Contestants MULTIPLE FEMININITIES IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY NEW ZEALAND IN LATE 1947, as Christian Dior’s ‘new look’ brought glamour and controversy to the catwalks of Paris, a writer for the Auckland Star suggested that what New Zealand needed was a little more homespun. ‘Cyrano’ thought it was time to hold a Mrs New Zealand contest, a quest that would allow the country to honour ‘a representative of the army of women who have been running a home and bringing up a family amid all the trials of the last few years — the personal anxieties of the war, the queues and shortages, the cuts and carryings, and the host of regulations framed and administered almost entirely by men’. The key quality such a woman required: ‘staying power’.1 The woman Cyrano wanted to celebrate was a direct descendant of the colonial helpmeet, that paragon of domesticity, virtue and stability brought to life by Raewyn Dalziel in her classic article of that name.2 In ‘Helpmeet’, Dalziel provided an explanation for why, having acquired the vote, New Zealand women did not go on to achieve other ‘feminist firsts’. Her central thesis was that New Zealand women did not campaign for suffrage so that they could go out and change the world, but rather so that they could preserve the home and their status within it. Nineteenth-century migrants, she argued, brought a Victorian conception of true womanhood with them to New Zealand, which, ‘combined with the special circumstances of colonial
