have started and I thought a calendar of future market days would

be a good idea for you to stick on the fridge, just so you dont

forget to come and miss out on all the fun.

We will have all sorts from face painting, art and craft hand made

items, books, clever little bits and pieces made by various artists,

plus car boot mysteries.

Enjoy Paparoa markets, visit the farmers market, have lunch at

the best restaurants.

It will be a fun day out for all the familysee you there.

As part of the Christmas festival, the Holy Trinity Anglican

Church in Maungaturoto is planning a Christmas Tree Festi-

val. In addition to the wonderful Bethlehem and nativity scene

which fills the churchs sanctuary, the church will be filled with a

number of 8ft Christmas trees, all decorated in different colours

and symbols. These will be decorated by either different organi-

sations and charities in our local community in support of their

work and ministry to others, (Red Cross, The Hospice, etc) or by

individuals who want to support a particular charity of their own

choice. Some trees will be in colours associated with their char-

ity or organisation. Each tree will have a collection box along-

side it, and those coming to view them will be invited to make a

gift to the charity of their choice. The trees will be supplied by

the church, but all the decorations and lights for each one will be

the responsibility of those decorating them. We are looking for-

ward to a great variety of creativity and colour.

The festival is planned to run from Sunday December 11th until

after Christmas. Perhaps you would like to decorate a tree in

support of a charity or organisation of your own choice. If so

please contact Rodney Dunlop at the Vicarage in Maunga-

turoto. Phone 431 8193 or email [email protected].

We look forward to many participants and to a wonderful festival

of colour and light.

Racheal and Robbie Hinsch of Paparoa won the Excellence in

Retail Category at the Westpac Northland Business Excellence

Awards for 2010 on Saturday night. The Kaipara couple have

two retail businesses; The Sunshine Organics Store in Maunga-

turoto and The Paparoa Store, both of which caught the eye of

Kaipara District Council when looking for local talent to enter

the awards. Originally from Christchurch, Rachel and Robbie

are great Kaipara people; they are hard working and innovative

and have built their business around their passion for healthy

living and preserving the environment. Despite the economic

down turn and the rigorous entry process the number of contest-

ants was up on last year with seven high quality Kaipara businessapplications received.

Mayor Neil Tiller was impressed with the large number of

Kaipara entrants and delighted that a local business won the

competitive retail section. Retail is one of the most competitive

categories and I feel many of our local businesses will feel

inspired by this win

Waitangi National Trust was the Supreme 2010 Westpac North-

land Business of the Year and also took out the Destination

Northland Tourism and Hospitality Category with 50 Northland

businesses competing across 8 business categories. Tony Collinsfrom the Northland Chamber of Commerce said that ...the

awards were a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the success of

many Northland businesses. These enterprises were of varying

size and often very different structure and scale. The one thing

they all had in common was their passion for what they were

doing and their commitment to succeed.

Other winners were:

Sport Northland - winner of the New Zealand Refining

Company Excellence in Business Category

Smart Energy Solutions - winner of the Business CoachingNew Zealand Best Emerging Business Category. The

Judges also highly commended the Pear Tree Restaurant and

Bar and Elevate CA Limited in this category.

StaffCare Limited - winner of the Argon Construction Excel-

lence in Professional Services Category. The Judges also

highly commended the Buchanans Amcal Pharmacy in this

category.

Rintoul Civil Limited - winner of the Golden Bay Cement

Excellence in Construction Manufacturing and Trades Cate-

gory. The Judges also highly commended Airzone Limited

in this category.

Maungaturoto Ambulance Station

Phone 09 4318 403Contacts: Stephen Rosser, Maungaturoto Station Team Manager,Leigh Knightbridge, Assistant Team Manager

Training Tuesday 7.30pm (during school term)

Just a reminder that if you require an emergency ambulance, please phone 111. Dont come directly to the station! It is often unmanned due to the vehicle already being a call, and some nights our volunteers

respond from home.

CalloutsWe attended 56 call outs in September, which was down from 65 in the previous September. 41 of these were medical calls, and 15

were accidents. One of the reasons for the fewer number of call outs is that Mangawhai Ambulance is now transporting patients

when transporting crews are available there. Up until recently Mangawhai was a first response station only, and we transported their

patients. This change must benefit everyone their patients do not have to wait for us to arrive to transport them, and we are more

available in our local area.

ResignationsUnfortunately we have had two resignations recently.

Thank you to Brian Dent for 10 years of dedicated service to the community. Brian has decided it is time to move on, and we will

miss having him around. He will also leave a few gaps on the weekend roster!

Sadly Trevor Brljevich has also recently resigned, but will stay on as Chairperson on the Otamatea Area Committee. We are hold-

ing a farewell dinner in honour of Trevor, and will report on this in the next Matters.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Frances Maclennan who has recently completed her National Diploma, and is now a fully qualified Ambulance

Officer. This requires many hours of study and on road assessments, so well done Frances.

I would like to acknowledge Paddy Dunn for the extra mile she goes in supporting not only Frances, but all our students with extra

trainings.

Trash and TreasureA huge thank you to Albie and Marj Paton and their band of helpers for the fantastic job they did of the Trash & Treasure. They put

in an enormous amount of work to make this event the most successful ever! Well done Albie and Marj you are treasures!!

Opportunity Shop in KaiwakaThanks to Millie OReilly we now have an Op Shop in Kaiwaka (in the premises that was previously Buy the Way). Call in and

have a look when you are over that way I hear that there is a great selection of nic nacs and other items!

Volunteer GardenerWhile I am on the subject of thanks you, I must also mention our volunteer gardener. Cecily Johnson Regularly turns up and keeps

our gardens tidy, and weeds at bay. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness.

Annual SubscriptionsThank you to everyone who has paid their annual subscription. Subscriptions are available for $31 per person, or $46per family, and this pays for any emergency ambulance transport required during the year. If you would like to be a sub-scriber and have not received the flier in the mail, contact the station.

Captain Edward Hunter set in Jamaica in 1665. A wonderfulstory with amazing characters.

Sat 16th October we had a tree planting day andwere delighted to have the help of theMaungaturoto Cubs and their leader and someparents!!

This is a real community project which will benefit everyone

who needs a quiet place to walk, get fit or just take the kids for

some exercise. Powell's Contracting have been working on the

track formation and we hope to start putting on the surface metal

in the next 2 weeks.

Students from Otamatea High School have been helping with this

project. When this stage is complete you will be able to do a cir-

cuit of about 2km - no steps - reasonable contour, gates suitable

for pushchairs to go through and only a short piece along the

road foot path. The track starts opposite OHS. The signs will go

up as soon as work is completed. If anyone wants to help plant

more trees we still have about 1000 to go or with any of the work

such as carting metal or spreading it - we need all the help wecan get!!!

Great news for the club! Funding has come through for the re-

newal of A green. It has already had the old surface lifted and

if the weather treats us right the new surface should be in place

by the time you read this. This has to happen so as to give us

time to prepare it for our next big tournament on December

17. Thank you to the team that turned out on probably the cold-est and windiest day of the year and completed the lifting job in

record time.

The season is now well under way. First event after the Centre

Opening was the mens and womens pennants. We may not

have won these events but we participated. Next was the Centre

mixed pairs for which the club hosted some of the participants on

the first day. The winners were an Onerahi pairing of Doug

Domingan and Linda Swanson from Anne Bateman and Ken

Fitness of Kensington.

Our first major club tournament of the year, the Heatley Memo-

rial 4s has been held with a maximum entry of 36 teams. A verysuccessful day with six 4 winners. Winners were 1st Anne Bate-

man, Ken Fitness Dianne Lawrence and Steve Smith with 4 wins

33 ends 71 points. 2nd Linda and Tiki Pedro and two others

from the far north centre with 4 wins 28 ends 70 points. Linda

and Tiki both started their bowling careers with the Maunga-

turoto Club and its good to see them come back. Other teams

with 4 wins were Kevin Robinson, John Dunn, Ken Westlake

and Alan Stebbens.

With all teams that took part, at this stage coming back for the

second leg of the double, the 21st McCallum Christmas 4s in

December and with three extra teams entered, we are doing what

a lot of other clubs cant do; filling our tournaments.

The mens side of the club has held their first championship

event of the year. The pairs won by Kevin Robinson and Keith

Youngman from Ted Mooney and Rex Roadley. Some interest-

ing results in the early rounds made for some good watch-

ing. First round losers Ray Hynes and Tom Cumber, a first-year

player, took the experienced pairing of Dave Orford and Irwin

Van Pelt to an extra end. Another pairing totalling 165 years

young between them made it through to the 4th round before

youth managed to prevail. Great going Trevor Brljevich and

Laurie Bassett.

The women have held their handicap pairs with an entry of eightteams. Teams were drawn and Naira Vaney and Valda Mann

prevailed over Margaret Powell and Pauline McMurchy to win

with two lives intact. ~Albie

We invite everyone over 50 to greet and meet The GrowlCollection Centre at a Morning too 10.30 am Thursday 18November in the Anglican Church Hall

One of the main purposes of our group, is to try to sort out

peoples problems and help where possible.

We invite you to meet us the Committee (or The Growl

Collection Centre), so you know who to take your problems or

concerns to. We in turn, will pass them to our president Mr

Harry Daniel and we will progress from there. We dont want to

be anonymous faces in the community.

The meet and greet morning tea is not a meeting, or a

commitment. So come and see us please and participate in a

pleasant morning, where we will explain how far we have got.

MAUNGATUROTO SQUASH FINALS AND

PRIZE-GIVINGThe official squash season has now come to a close and what a season it

has been!!!!

Our membership numbers, both in the junior and senior groups, continue

to increase, partly thanks to the business house competition Kenny

Finlayson organises, this comp has now been running for 7 years and we

all hope it will continue to do so. The business house squash competition

is a great starting block for new members and players to come along join

in and give it a go, if you think this could be you, lookout early next

year for info on how to join in.

The club has also been busy this year with a successful Black Knight

tournament of which we saw entrants coming from as far as Kaitia and

Hamilton. Our Interclub teams are also doing well, both the mens and

womens teams are looking good for a top of the table finish with one

more round to go.One of our major successes in the club is our junior squash. This year

sees our junior numbers at 40, with both primary and high school stu-

dents involved. Many of the juniors have taken the opportunity to par-

ticipate in many tournaments around Northland with Scott Donaldson

holding this years record by entering a whopping 8 tournaments. Some

of the juniors have also excelled in other ways , Kodi Foster was se-

lected into the Northland junior B squad and his big sister Caitlin not

only made it to the A squad but also got to go to the Nationals in Christ-

church where she improved her ranking by 2. We are very proud of all

our juniors and have been told that our junior club is one of if not the

best junior club in Northland! Unfortunately due to the wonderful re-

sponse to our junior program we will be limiting next years intake, there

will be a skill level that juniors will need to pass before we can coach

them, nothing to hard, If you think your child might be interested or is

currently playing and you want to know the criteria, just give me a call.We recently finished the club champs with Finals night and prize-giving

where we saw some great battles and plenty of great squash.
