MATTHEW SALMONS
The Good St Deli will close up on March 28 to move to a new location – in Christchurch. It, along with the Rangiora Pharmacy, High Street Living and others, had to leave their site due to the planned demolition and rebuild of the building between High St and New World Rangiora. The new site will be on Moor- house Ave, at the intersection of Deans Ave and Blenheim Rd. Owner Sophie Wang said they would keep the name, keep the food, keep the coffee and proudly display images and stories of their Rangiora origins ‘‘so people know who we are, and why we’re there’’. Good St Deli owner ‘‘We love what we do here and Sophie Wang is sad the the food we provide, that’s why Rangiora institution we’re keeping the name.

ADELE REDMOND
Miserable weather leant a ‘‘hardy North Canterbury vibe’’ to the area’s annual wine and food festi- val. North Canterbury Wine and Food Festival organiser Peg Mor- gan said over 2500 attended the festival with event organisers and stallholders overwhelmed by the support of the crowds at Glenmark Domain on Sunday. Hopes of beating last year’s 3000-person turnout were dashed by rain and brisk southwesterlies but locals were undeterred, Mor- gan said. Hay bails by the trees were popular. ‘‘The fashion out here is super cool. There’s little kids with their gummies and heaps of young people as well as some of the mums and dads coming out,’’ she said. ‘‘The support was from attendees was mind-blowing, everyone got out and stuck in despite the rain forecasted. There was an amazing air of optimism to the event this year, and we’re already looking forward to what success 2018 holds for the festi- val.’’ Out of the 50 vendors, wine sellers were the natural favourite, with people ‘‘cracking into it right Ross Hanson and Jenny Underwood came prepared for wet weather.

With thanks to ECAN & the Rangiora Racecourse Management Committee
Despite the challenging conditions 83 teams and over 300 riders took on the mud to compete at the third annual Rakahuri Rage teams relay mountain bike race held on Sunday 12th March 2017. Steady rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the riders, with most taking it as an additional challenge - and some even revelling in it! Unfortunately the combination of rain and bikes took it’s toll on the track conditions so organisers were forced to divert part of the course onto shingle roads and reduce the event from six hours to four. Open Men’s team“Taggarts Demo 1”(Mike Smart, Marc Prutton & Reon Nolan) backed up their win last year by completing 14 laps, just ahead of team“Steady the Ships”. Team“Go Girls”(Kate Woods, Seonaigh Conchie & Ali Mander) again took out the Open Women’s category. Organised by the North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust, the Rakahuri Rage was introduced in 2015 to encourage people to try mountain biking and explore the local North Canterbury cycling tracks, and it has quickly become a xture on the North Canterbury sporting calendar. The event is also a major fund-raiser for the MainPower Waiswim Primary Schools Swimming Programme that provides children across North Canterbury with high quality swimming lessons at low cost through their schools.

JONATHAN LEASK
Rain washed out play on the open- ing day of the Canterbury Country Premier Two-Day cricket final. Sefton and Weedons will be forced to find a result on day two, which will be extended to 110 overs, at MainPower Oval. If neither side can claim first innings honours, and the match reaches stumps as a draw, it will come down to bonus points accrued during the final. With each run earning 0.01 points and 0.2 points per wicket taken, it will encourage positive cricket from both teams on the final day of the premier season. The two-day plate final between Southbrook and Oxford- Rangiora was also washed out. In the Country senior grade, Ohoka confirmed their place in the final after a rain affected round.
