Santa Claus is coming to town By Sue Newman
Christmas will arrive in town on Saturday and it will arrive with all the pomp and ceremony of a full- on Santa parade. The town’s Mother Christmas, Carol Johns, is working her magic to create a Christmas parade that will break all records, and judging by the response of people wanting to take part, she could be right on target. When you’re passionate about getting into the spirit of Christ- mas, organising Ashburton’s San- ta parade is more fun than hard work, Johns said. But she has been putting in hours of work behind the scenes to ensure the parade is an abso- lute crowd pleaser. There will be all the highlights of the past with plenty of new attractions thrown into the mix, she said. Perhaps the biggest difference with this year’s parade will be the route, Johns said. “There’ll be no doubling back The air was filled with bubbles blown by children on parade along East Street, instead the pa- floats during last year’s Ashburton Santa parade. rade will start at Mona Square, PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN travel up East Street, move down Havelock and travel back to the square along Cass Street.” The changed route is as much Square, she said.

After an active start to December things will set- tle down towards the festive season. “From the middle stages of December there is an indication of high pressure influence,” Voice said. “Expect less wind, lots of sun, and above average temperatures, especially inland areas. “Towards the end of the month there is potential for some rain, but it’s low risk at this stage. “If we don’t see that rain eventuate it will be quite a dry month.” While not nailing down a Christmas Day fore- cast, Voice said early indications were for a “fairly frequent Canterbury summer day”. From December to February, air pressure is fore- cast to be higher than normal over the southeast of the South Island. January was set to be “some really ideal holiday weather”. “Some great camping or recreational weather as it’s looking fairly good everywhere. “It looks like really warm temperatures and a lot of fine days, especially in the inland areas.

NETBALL Tactix call on local pair
By Adam Burns
A couple of Ashburton netballers have received callups into the Tactix for off-season training. Georgina Kelly and Kate Lloyd have been named as part of a 34-player summer training squad for the National Netball League (NNL). The squad was revealed on Tues- day by the Christchurch-based franchise. The two ex-Ashburton College pupils were part of the Lincoln University team which clinched Christchurch’s premier netball competition earlier this year. Lloyd is no stranger to the Tactix after the 24-year-old was first called into the squad as injury cover back in 2017. It has previously been a luckless period for the 1.92m defender after she missed out on a Main- land contract for the 2020 ANZ Premiership. A move to the UK to play for the Georgina Kelly was part of the Lincoln University team, along with Lloyd, London Pulse in this year’s Net- which won the Christchurch premier competition. ball Superleague was also halted by Covid.
