    COMMUNITY SPORT COMPETITION INSTRUCTION COACHING MASTERS ATHLETES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONCEPT DESIGN Cyndie Flett MAIN WRITER Nigel Kemp ADVISORY GROUP Georgina Bellamy François Gravelle John Huntley Nigel Kemp Volker Nolte Sherry Richardson Brad Young EDITOR Louise Wood PRODUCTION Field Day Inc., Lucie LeBel, MATRA • gs Translation Services Inc. Coaching Association of Canada • Coaching Masters Athletes FOREWORD When I played competitive water polo, in the 1980s, there were few if any opportunities for continuing to compete past your mid-twenties. The same was true for many other sports, and masters competitors or participants were few and far between. But we’re all a few years older now, and many of us have stayed active. As a result, participation and competition by masters athletes has increased dramatically in recent years. Far from being a rarity, the masters athlete is today a common sight in many sports. National Masters and World Masters Championships are now the norm in almost every major sport, water polo included! Because significant participation in masters sport is so new, we are just starting to learn what masters athletes are physically capable of and what motivates them. Coaching masters athletes is therefore essentially a new frontier, and this booklet is the first contribution the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is making to that new frontier. Coaching masters athletes is an exciting opportunity for all coaches to have a positive impact on the lives of adults who want to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. It is also a wonderful opportunity for coaches to have a positive impact on society by encouraging more adults to be more active.

  • Soldiers and School Children Military Performances and National Identity During the Prince of Wales’ 1920 Visit to Wellington
    UHPH_14: Landscapes and ecologies of urban and planning history | 463 Soldiers and School Children Military performances and national identity during the Prince of Wales’ 1920 visit to Wellington Christopher McDonald Victoria University of Wellington/University of New South Wales [email protected] Early royal visits to New Zealand were episodes of intense symbolic activity played out on an urban scale. These events are generally understood as affirmations of British identity. However, this paper shows how the Prince of Wales’ 1920 tour of New Zealand was also used to promote the distinct character of the young dominion. The research examines two military performances in Wellington: a review at Newtown Park and a quasi-military parade of school children in parliament grounds. Analysis of these events reveals dual narratives in which New Zealanders both reaffirm their links with the Motherland and acknowledge their own difference. The two sources of identity are found to be compatible but dependent on malleable images. The paper argues that military images and narratives were flexible enough to convey New Zealanders’ “imperial” and “national” allegiances. However, while a dual narrative operated successfully during the “Children’s Day” display, the more conventional military review at Newtown Park failed because it was unable to reconcile the antipodean traits of discipline and vigour. Both performances required a degree of improvisation because Wellington lacked dedicated sites for military ceremonial. The choice of venues contributed to the disparate outcomes of the two events. In parliament grounds, school groups exhibited the health and dynamism of New Zealand’s youth but also reinforced the latent order and unity of New Zealand’s pre-eminent “national” space.

The Gardens are associated with a number of important and influential Wellingtonians and New Zealanders. In particular the gates are associated with J.G. MacKenzie the Director of Parks and Gardens who oversaw their construction. The Gates are also associated with the Hospital and the Hospital Board who owned them prior to their installation at the Gardens. • The Botanic Gardens Gates and Fence have an enduring social value as the main entrance to the Botanic Garden, an extremely popular public space in Wellington city. This connection remains today as the Gardens are well patronised throughout the year. 1 Date: 10 December 2013 District Plan: Map 17, reference 17 Legal Description: Pt Lot 1 DP 8530 Heritage Area: Wellington Botanic Gardens Heritage Area HPT Listed: Historic Area, reference 7573 Archaeological Site: Risk Unknown Other Names: - Key physical dates: c. 1878, alterations c.1925 Architect / Builder: City Engineer, Builder: Messrs Hickmott and Sons Former uses: Civic – gates and fence Current uses: Civic – gates and fence Earthquake Prone Status: Unknown at time of writing Extent: Cityview GIS 2013 2 Date: 10 December 2013 1.0 Outline History 1.1 History1 The Founders’ entrance has always been the main entrance to the Wellington Botanic Garden, although it has not always been in the form that it is today.
