BBQ washout
During the recent BBQ fundraiser on Sunday the rain drizzle was steady and persistent. At times the piecing wind and water was horizontal often splashing the workspace and regularly extinguishing the flames on the BBQ burner.
The unfortunate outcome for the day was a washout disaster.
* minimum customers who braved the inclement weather
* a surplus of foodstuffs by closing time at 4 o'clock
Sadly, reduced monetary value for the long physical efforts before during and after.
However, we rejoice that there often positives in any human interaction.
In this instance the dispersment and delivery of the surplus bread, onions, and drinks to five martial arts and netball families and colleagues who were grateful to share the food line.
Thanks to all supporters.
Mission complete.
Looking forward to opportunities in the future.

21 years of age, 4 times.
Tomorrow I would be celebrating 21 years of age, four times. The journies have been memorable. The first 21 years under the majestic mountain naki with milking cows, dairy factory work, and all the social networks of the times. Table tennis, indoor bowls, tennis, rugby. and of course visiting Opunake beach, contracting hay making.
Those were busy days and far different to the pressures of today.
National Service kicked in and this was a huge wake up to many not familiar with living and working in a constructive and disciplined environment. 0600 feet on the floor, fatigues, personal ablution, dress, March to breakfast.
2200 lights out. Duty Instructors will check for compliance.
This made it easy entering the N.Z.Police College at Trentham. 28 Prater Recruit Wing. The beginning of an amazing and challenging period. A huge gap of life with service that spans many cities and smaller towns. Met a gorgeous young lady and we have been together for 61 years.
Toast Masters, Board and PTA roles at 6 School's and Colleges, and, in amongst that, Judge marching.
People's lives are busy and it is a privilege to work with martial artists and netballers .
21 years x 4 is awesome. My mother says I was born on the 25th, but the New Zealand Government records me on the 26th. SO, we celebrate both days.
Best wishes, and stay well.

Netball Boot Camp training today.
Canceled
The drizzle is persistent, steady, and Met Service indicates that it is not likely to improve. In fact the graphics trends upwards. It makes sense to cancel.
Training is a personal commitment and programme such as Boot Camp is merely a vehicle for individuals and groups to gather in a structured setting to improve.
The sheer beauty is working with individuals who are determined regardless of akill-set to further test themselves. Over the weeks, months , improvement is incremental, one piece set at a time. Once merged with the training via the normal school coach and team, growth becomes true.
To the many young participants and parents who braved Boot Camp training thus far, well done.

Tomorrow Sunday the 16th August is scheduled the final boot camp training for the winter competitions. Next Saturday are the final games and it is timely to wind down.
Weather permitting we will have a BBQ cooked sausages and drinks, a nice reward for those who turned out.
So...let's finish strongly.
In appreciation, best wishes for the support since the second week in January.

**Civic Awards 2026**

Nathaniel our netball team captain asks “Why, was there no training on Tuesday?”
Me : “Had an important engagement more important than netball training.”
Nathaniel asks : “What sort of engagement is more important than netball training?”
Me : Civic Award Ceremony with the Mayor.”
Nathaniel : “……………That’s okay then.”

What a fabulous occasion and so thrilled those nearest to me were able to be present and share these special moments.

Quite humbling to be given an award because we volunteers do things without expectation:
• A thank you would be nice.
• A flat white at a local café be awesome.
• A recipient of such an award and badge is way up there.

Award ceremony speeches.
Finger food.
Mix and mingle.
A huge gratitude for the hundreds of martial artists and the vast netball communities whose presence and participation over the years directly influenced and impacted on this award.

Investigator Penny took the time and initiative to gather pertinent information then forwarded the nomination. This speaks highly of her clarity and trust in what she believes to be true.

The Civic Award and recognition is appreciated.

In the meantime:
• Martial arts training continues as Grade Tests roll out this month.
• Netball boot camps Sundays and 3 training sessions per week.
“Life goes on”.

With blessings
