Camp Quality celebrates 25 years Camp Quality has brought its 25th Anniversary Celebrations to a close with a Jubilee Ball in Hamilton and a ‘Picnic in the Park’ in Auckland last weekend. During 2010 Camp Quality NZ, a not for profit, volunteer organisation, marked its 25th year of providing week-long summer camps and year- round support to children living with cancer. A number of service clubs, including ones from Te Awamutu area, have provided support to Camp Quality over the years. The first New Zealand camp was held in West Auckland in January 1985 and attracted 22 youngsters from throughout New Zealand. Now around 300 youngsters attend one of five regional summer camps nationwide with more than 700 volunteers, helping to make the camps a safe and fun environment. A number of events took place around the country to mark 25 years of Camp Quality in each region. They included a Masquerade Ball in Auckland, a ‘Living Billboard’ in Dunedin, a Truck Show at Ruapuna Raceway near Christchurch and the main 25th Anniversary Dinner in Christ- church attended by the Minister of Labour, Hon Kate Wilkinson, which also featured the founder of Camp Quality International, Vera Entwistle from Australia. The Waikato/Bay of Plenty region Jubilee Ball at Waikato Stadium was attended by around 100 campers, volunteers and friends. The event was seen as a way to bring back long-time campers and volunteers, and even attracted one of Camp Quality’s long-term major transport supporters. The Auckland/Northland region ‘Picnic in the Park’ at Tahaki Reserve, Mt Eden attracted 300 former Camp Quality campers, volunteers and staff and the cook from the first camp at West Auckland in 1985. Camp Quality NZ chairman Ivan Lawson says the various celebration events held throughout New Zealand have served as “a great way to lift our profile at a regional and national level and also bring together many of our former campers, 1PM - 4PM companions and volunteers. It was a great way for us to celebrate the last 25 years and to thank those who have helped us get to where we are today,” he If you are over 50, Rosehill Lifestyle Village allows you to Register during the open day, sign up before Christmas and says. “And now the focus goes on trying to do even more for children living with cancer, and their purchase your new home outright.

Fairytales have long provided the basis for the traditional Christ- mas Pantomime — a tradition being continued by Te Awamutu Light Operatic Society. Stories that we all know and loved as children, such as Aladdin, Snow White and Mother Goose, have been refurbished and continue to entertain audiences today. Perhaps the best known and most loved story is that of Cinderella, the poor down-trodden girl who, thanks to the magic created by her Fairy Godmother, catches the eye of the handsome Prince Charming and becomes his bride. This the story Talos has chosen for this year’s Christmas Pantomime — Cinderella, written by Norman Robbins and directed by Gwen Hart. It contains all the elements of the classic pantomime — song, dance, a strong storyline, a cast of larger-than-life characters, broad comedy and, of course, a large helping of romance. Christmas is only 51/2 weeks away!

This production is TC231110DT01 7832963AA sure to be popular with CINDERELLA (Hannah Adams) gets some comfort from Buttons (Andrew Have you considered your advertising campaign yet? audiences of all ages so Kingdon) and the hard word from her wicked stepmother (Margaret We are taking bookings now for our CHRISTMAS SUPPLEMENT book early to avoid dis- McMonagle). appointment.
