Rodney Junior prize giving – the girls all received certificates and chocolate bars. The year 5&6 team received the trophy for winning their grade. Well done to you all, hope to see you all back again next season. A special thanks to Mel & Tanya for organising the girls.
At the junior Kaipara Flats prizegiving the girls had a fun game of netball against their parents & siblings at the Sports Club followed by a shared lunch. A great Saturday morning was had by all. The girls were all very proud of their medals, certificates and goodies they received.
Our annual trivial pursuit night was once again a success. We had a few less tables than normal but still had a great time. There were some amazing costumes. Thank you to all our sponsors, we really appreciate your support.
Puhoi Axemen
The wet winter weather is just about behind us and daylight savings is here so that means the woodchopping season is getting closer. For those cricketers out there wandering what happened to the old derelict wicket cover frame that was over grown with weeds at the far end of the sports field, well I can tell you it is now the roof on the axemen’s new training facility at Old Woodcocks road. The club has been busy over winter setting up the new facility with many a working bee and now we have an all-weather training venue.
We are training hard and some of the boys have even travelled to Whangarei for extra chopping tips from Jason Semenoff in preparation for our next challenge, which is a trip to the Christchurch Royal A&P show in November. This should be a great trip with 18 competitors and 6 supporters from the Opononi, North Harbour, Puhoi and Ngati Hine axemen’s clubs, travelling under Northland Axemens Association, competing or watching 3 days of wood chopping. Watch out for us on TV.
Unfortunately, we were unable to chop at Kaipara Flats School Show Day due to the weather. We will however, be putting on a display at the Wellsford Farm & Lifestyle Show on Saturday 19th November. The Whangarei A&P Show is December 3rd and some of the boys will be competing. Then the following weekend December 10th is always a great day at the Hukerenui Hotel.
If you are keen to give wood chopping a go contact John Sanderson 0274 731316 or 422 4971
Don’t forget firewood for sale and free mulch/peelings.
