Humble Pie<br />

Finally the Canterbury<br />

rugby team was beaten and<br />

Auckland walked away with<br />

the Ranfurly Shield. Our leader<br />

Don, and one other director<br />

(living up to his nick-name of<br />

Grumpy) lost an undisclosed<br />

bet and were forced to make<br />

payment. <strong>The</strong>y chose to pass<br />

their loss to Bruce in a humble<br />

pie.<br />

Fires in California<br />

Recently California was<br />

devastated with enormous<br />

bush fires that destroyed over<br />

3,000 homes and caused<br />

millions of dollars of damage.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were over 800,000<br />

people evacuated from their<br />

homes. We had many of the<br />

<strong>Mainfreight</strong> family in harm’s<br />

way but thankfully none of<br />

them were hurt. Many of our<br />

team had homes that were less<br />

than a couple of miles away<br />

from the fire fronts, so were<br />

lucky even though they suffered<br />

some smoke damage. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

photos show how frightening it<br />

was.
