Alleged rugby club fraudster
unlikely to face the music
• By Dylan Smits
AN ALLEGED rugby club
fraudster is unlikely to face the
courts unless she returns to New
Zealand.
Nicola Flint is accused of stealing
more than $100,000 from the
Christchurch Football Club while
entrusted with its finances.
She was due to appear in the
district court on June 7 on nine
fraud charges. The charges laid
against Flint include causing
loss by deception, forgery, using
forged documents, theft by a
person in a special relationship
and taking, and obtaining or
using a document for pecuniary
advantage, according to court
documents.
Nicola Flint has also been
accused of falsely telling friends
she had terminal cancer.
She and her Kiwi husband
Andrew Flint and their two teenage
children left for the United
Kingdom in December. A warrant
for her arrest was issued when she
failed to appear in court. They had
a family business in Christchurch,
Flint Construction.
The rugby club has retrieved
the missing money after the
Flint’s sold their family home in
St Albans in April for $713,000. A
caveat was placed on the property
after negotiations between the
club and Flint’s lawyers.

AFTER A LONG battle, the
Christchurch Farmers’ Market
has had its opening hours cut
after a disagreement over the
impact it has on Riccarton
House and Bush.
Stallholders were left angry
after being told in February the
market’s hours could be reduced,
which an anonymous stallholder
told The Press was due to damage
caused by the public to grass
areas and garden beds.
The reduction in hours
did not go ahead after an
angry response from
stallholders and a complaint
about the market breaching its
resource consent was reviewed
by the city council, The Press
reported.
But the market’s hours have
now been officially cut.
It will run from 9am to noon
on Saturdays, instead of closing
at 1pm – and the number

Farmers’ market opening hours reduced

increased from 30 to 50.
Riccarton Bush trust manager
Shona Willis told The Press the
changes to the market means it
was now “complying” with its
resource consent.
“There’s been a bit of creeping
over the years. It’s time we did
things well.
“The consent was always for
them to close at 12pm and be
cleared away by 1pm.”
Alpine village readies
for winter festival influx
• By John Cosgrove
POP-UP LIGHT displays, star
gazing and ice bath plunge
pools – Hanmer’s Alpine Winter
Festival is gearing up for a big
opening weekend.
The festival starts on Saturday
and organisers say they have everything
ready to go. Now all they
need is for the weather to play
ball and dump some snow on the
surrounding mountains.
Hanmer Springs Thermal
Pools and Spa/Hurunui Tourism
sales and marketing manager
Shane Adcock said it has been
a challenge to get organised in
time after a break last year.
“We are pretty excited about
the programme, there is quite a
lot in there with small and large
events.
“It makes for a more vibrant
calendar for people to enjoy.”
An influx of tourists is expected
for the third edition of
the festival, first held in 2021 and
then in 2022.
The festival runs until July 16
and includes a range of ticketed
and non-ticketed events.
Activities include night light
tree top climbing, family picnic
quad/buggy rides, outdoor puzzle
hunts, a fire truck display,
village light competitions and a
ski field open day.
Adcock said one of his favourite
events is the public light
displays.
“They are bigger and better
than the last time in the public
areas around the village.”
He is also looking forward to
the mini golf night, which will
be held for the first time. Adcock
said the goal of the festival is
to build on Hanmer Springs’
reputation as an attractive alpine
village during the July school
holidays, to help create vibrancy,
and increase visitor numbers.

Dog adoptions
free in July
LOOKING TO adopt a dog?
This month, the city council’s
animal management team
is making the process a little
easier.
The adoption fee will be
wiped during July in an attempt
to get more dogs into their forever
homes.
“We’ve noticed an increase in
the number of dogs coming into
our shelter, and we really want
to help these pups get rehomed
to loving families,” said city
council animal services manager
Lionel Bridger.
“We know it’s a challenging
time at the moment so
this month we want to help
where we can to get these dogs
adopted.”
Dog registration and
vaccination fees still apply.
Microchipping is already
free for all registered dogs in
Christchurch.
“Adopting a dog is a huge
decision and one that shouldn’t
be taken lightly, so we have a
few criteria owners must meet
before we send our pups home
with them,” said Bridger.
New owners must pass a
property inspection, have
landlord consent if renting, and
where applicable have a history
of good dog ownership.
If you already have a dog, staff
will arrange a meet-and-greet to
assess suitability.
“We want our dogs to go to
their forever homes, and we
don’t want to get this wrong,”
Bridger said.
“Our team does the best we
can to make sure each dogs new
home is where they’re going to
stay.”

Moves to curtail beggars considered
• By Anna Sargent and
Isabella Adams
THE CITY council is considering
options, including a bylaw, to
address aggressive begging – with
fears it is out of control in some
areas.
Auckland and Wellington city
councils have bylaws in place that
prohibit anti-social behaviour
associated with aggressive
begging.
The owner of a gift shop in
Woolston, Rose, said businesses
were fed up with aggressive
beggars.
“I’ve been here 27 years and the
last two years have been shocking.
“We’ve got homelessness, we’ve
got people harassing people for
money, it’s just unbelievable. They
can be pretty scary for elderly
people and they go up to people in
their cars and everything. It’s just
not on,” she said.
She even had beggars enter her
shop and approach customers.
Rose would support a bylaw
banning aggressive begging –
saying stronger enforcement was
long overdue.
“There’s no authority that’s
the trouble. These people are not
answerable to the likes of us when
we tell them to move on.”
The Salvation Army shop in
Addington experiences regular
run-ins with aggressive beggars.
TARGET: Staff at the Salvation
Army shop in Addington
say beggars have entered
the premises and harassed
customers.
A Sallies spokesperson said
beggars were coming into the
store, banging on vehicles in the
adjacent carpark and were making
it hard for customers to close their
car doors, all while asking for
money. They said elderly women
were the most common targets for
beggars.
A council report said Mayor
Phil Mauger was seeking advice
from staff for options on what
could be done.
City councillor Jake McLellan
said it was not about punishing
people who safely solicited
support from the public.
“What we’re concerned about
is people being threatened and
intimidated, being stood over at
ATMs.
DESPERATE: Councillor Jake McLellan said the council did
not want to punish people who safely solicited support, but
sought to curtail threats and aggression. PHOTO: GETTY
“That’s the type of behaviour
that really borders on the legal
limits of what you are and aren’t
allowed to do. So we’re happy to
look at tools that give the police
additional powers to look into
that,” he said.
McLellan said they would
be looking at how effective the
bylaws were in Auckland and
Wellington.
“I’ll support a bylaw if the
evidence backs it up, I want to be
really clear about that. What I’m
almost certain we do need more of
is resourcing for the City Mission
and other similar agencies that
work with people on the street.”
Auckland’s city centre business
association Heart of the City
provides initiatives to help address
aggressive begging in the city.
Chief executive Viv Beck said
the effectiveness of the current
by-law in Auckland largely
comes down to enforcement, as
the general rules prohibit “bad
behaviour”.
“A recent shift in approach to
enforcement, along with increased
numbers of compliance officers
operating in the city centre, has

kiwi
made a difference. However, Heart
of the City is seeking changes to
the bylaw to further improve the
environment for everyone,’’ Beck
said.
Christchurch City Missioner
Corinne Haines said people who
were genuinely homeless were
often not aggressive beggars.
She feared this behaviour could
create a negative feeling towards
all those who were sleeping rough.
“They may have a little sign,
they may say ‘hey give me some
money’, but I don’t think they
would be the bulk of the people
who are aggressively begging
on the street. We don’t condone
aggressive begging, we’re here
to look after those who are truly
homeless,” she said.
It was important that any bylaw
around aggressive begging did
not stop the City Mission from
helping those people who were
genuinely sleeping rough, Haines
said.
She advised people to not give
money to aggressive beggars, and
to report threatening behaviour to
the police.

• By Anna Sargent
CARE AND support workers
have held rallies around
the country calling on the
Government to fully fund a
pay equity settlement.
The unions E tū, PSA and
the New Zealand Nurses
Organisation (NZNO) said
the rallies were the next step
in a long campaign for the
workers’ pay equity claim,
which was filed against 15
employers almost two years
ago.
The claim could have
implications for 65,000 people
working in disability, home
and mental health support,
as well as aged care work, the
unions said.
Last month the unions took
the claim to the Employment
Relations Authority.
In Christchurch, about
40 people waved signs and
flags on the footpath near the
Hornby Club.
NZNO delegate Val Fifita
said workers were there
protesting for equal pay.
“Our counterparts like the
DHB have all got pay rises but
we haven’t. We do the same
amount of work for the same

patients and everything. All
we’re asking really is to be
paid what we’re worth.
“We’re really hoping
the government will come
through and support the equal
pay case.”
In 2017, the Government
signed a $2 billion equity
settlement giving tens of
thousands of care and support
workers a pay rise.
E tū activist and residential
aged care worker Marianne
Bishop said the Government
needed to front up.
“We have been waiting
far too long for a decent pay
equity settlement,” she said.
“The care and support
workforce is an essential part
of our health system and our
wider communities.
“We do these jobs because
we love the work and we want
to do the best we can.
“We are really worried about
the future of the sector if there
isn’t a proper settlement really
soon.
“We can’t attract and
retain workers if they know
they’re only going to be paid
a pittance. We have an ageing
workforce and an ageing
population – unless we fix this
now, it’s a recipe for disaster.”
PSA spokesperson Brad
Sparrow said care and support
workers are among the lowest
paid in the industry.
“So just really need to get
our wages up to meet the cost
of living and so we don’t lose
some of our people supporting
our most vulnerable over to
the Aussies,” he said.
In a statement, Health
New Zealand/Te Whatu Ora
said it was aware the Public
Service Association applied
to the Employment Relations
Authority last month to
determine remuneration rates
in relation to the July 1, 2022,
care and support worker pay
equity claim.
“Health NZ is not the
employer of this workforce
and is not a party to the
claim,” it said.
“However, Health NZ, as
a major funder, has been in
ongoing discussions with
employers to support them
with resolving the claim made
against them.”

stronger than everything that drives us apart, ultimately
working towards a better world. Woolston Brass will

Old cobblers shop on the move
LEGENDARY: The shoe
repair shop has been in
Adam McGregor’s family
for more than 60 years.
It opened in 1880 – the
key from opening day is
mounted on the wall.
FOR MORE than a century, a
humble shoe repair shop has
helped Cantabrians put their
best foot forward.
For 144 years, the shop at 27
Lincoln Rd, Hillmorton, has
served the same purpose.
The McGregors have owned
and operated the business for the
past six decades – but it’s time
for a change.
“It’s been a good ol’ girl, but it’s
probably done its dash,” Adam
McGregor told Newshub.
The McGregors moved operations
to a new shop on Monday
at 5/37 Shands Rd, Hornby.
“It’s got running hot water,
that’s a novelty. And a toilet, in
the building,” said McGregor.
The old building opened as
a shoe repair shop on April 29,
1880.
A newspaper clipping hangs
on the wall from that day, with
the original key for the front
door mounted nearby.
“It (was) started in 1880 by a
guy called George Thomas, who
lived in the back here, with a
shop out the front,” McGregor
told Newshub.
In 1956, McGregor’s father was
in his 20s, already a cobbler and
keen to go out on his own.
While biking to work into
town he passed the Lincoln Rd
business.
“Dad walked in here – the
guy’s name was Eddie Beach –
and said ‘would you like to sell
your business, I’m quite keen to
buy it?’” McGregor said.
“Eddie said ‘nah, no way’. Well
bugger me, a month later he had
a heart attack, didn’t die, and
got hold of dad and said ‘do you
want to buy it?’”
McGregor’s father purchased
the store using a £500 loan from
his mum.
“It was meant to be.”
There was never any intention
to follow the same career path.
“I wasn’t going to stay very long,
but I said to the old man ‘I’ll come
and help you for a
wee while’. That was 43 years ago.”
Despite the current economic
times, business is still booming.
So much so, McGregor needs
more space to work around.
“Every year I think that might
change – it might get quieter and
that, but it doesn’t. It just stays
the same.”
In summer, wait times are
usually one week. In winter, the
workload means that extends to
a month.
“It’s always been busy the
whole time.”
In lieu of the shift to Hornby,
McGregor plans to have “a few
quiets” to send off the old building,
Newshub reported.
“I have spent 40 years of my
life in this building – but I am
happy to move on. Definitely.”
– Newshub

Penalties imposed over cleaning cartel
A CLEANING company has
been fined $51,000 for engaging
in a cartel.
The High Court at
Christchurch imposed the
penalty against Canterbury
Industrial Scrubbing for longstanding
cartel agreements
with one of its competitors, the
Commerce Commission said
this week.
A cartel is where two or
more businesses agree not to
compete with each other by
price fixing, allocating markets
or customers, or restricting the
output or acquisition of goods
and services.
The scheme ran virtually
uninterrupted for nearly two
decades.
CI Scrubbing and another
industrial cleaning company
agreed that one business would
only offer industrial scrubbing
services, while the other would
only offer industrial sweeping
services, and the two would not
compete, the NZ Herald reported
When the other company
tried to quit the scheme, CI
Scrubbing director Daniel
Jamieson threatened to target its
customer base to persuade them
to continue.
After the cartel broke down,
some industrial scrubbing and
sweeping services customers
saw an immediate benefit, with

prices dropping by up to 30 per
cent in some cases.
Justice Rachel Dunningham
found the long duration
of the scheme was a “clear
aggravating factor” and the use
of commercial threats amounted
to a “serious breach” of the law.
She accepted were it not for the
current financial circumstances
of both the defendants, and
their cooperation with the
commission’s investigation, a
penalty of between $750,000 to
$1.25 million would have been
an appropriate penalty, the
Herald reported.
A penalty could have been
made against Jaimeson for
$50,000 to $70,000.
She imposed a penalty of
$51,000 against the company
and made declarations against
Jamieson.
Commissioner Derek Johnston
said targeting cartel conduct
remained an enduring priority
due to its secretive nature
and the harm it could cause
consumers.
He told the Herald: ”We
welcome the court’s finding that
this conduct was serious and that
much higher penalties would
have been imposed but for the
current financial circumstances
of the defendants.”
The case should serve as a
strong reminder to businesses
and their directors about the
law, he said.
“Ignorance of the law is never
an excuse.
“The criminalisation of cartel
conduct in 2021 underlines just
how serious and harmful this
offending is.”
Industrial floor cleaning
services are used in commercial
and industrial premises to clean
areas such as warehouses and
carparks.
Industrial sweeping involves
using specialised machines to
remove the dry waste and dust
from floors, which can then
be scrubbed by specialised
industrial machines.
Industrial scrubbing uses
water and chemicals to remove
residues, marks, and stains.
Some customers require
sweeping and scrubbing to
ensure a healthy and safe
working environment. Others
use one or both services
for cosmetic reasons, the
commission said.
The commission said cartel
conduct harmed consumers
by preventing businesses from
competing to provide better
quality services at better prices,
and it harmed other businesses
trying to compete fairly.

customers with life, health and
income protection insurance options.
They also provide access to leading
KiwiSaver providers to help ensure
customers have a full
plan in place to meet their
future financial goals.
“ KiwiSaver, in particular,
is an area where very
few people have had
professional advice
and have often joined
a provider based on
convenience rather than
performance history and
fees comparisons,” says
Rodney.
“There are many thousands
of dollars to be saved or earned
by reviewing this and choosing the
best scheme for your situation. Our
services are free in 99 per cent of
cases, and it is very
satisfying to be
helping Kiwis make

“A local team for local people”
CANTERBURY University’s aerospace
team has won a global rocket competition
for the second year in a row.
The team took home the trophy in
the 30,000-ft commercial off-the-shelf
category at the Spaceport America Cup in
New Mexico.
They competed against more than 120
teams from 20 countries, with their singlestage
rocket, Kārearea, soaring to success
under the leadership of fourth-year
mechanical engineering student James
Graham.
Graham was incredibly proud of the accomplishment.
“It was exhilarating to win. Last year we
won but didn’t get the award on the day.
To accept the award at the competition
this year is beyond words.”
Graham is studying a minor in Aerospace
Engineering, and the Spaceport
project contributed to his final year.
UC academic supervisor John Cater and
project client Bruce Robertson accompanied
the nine students to New Mexico.
Graham said it was “awesome” to see
Space minister Judith Collins comment on
their win.
“Ambition like this is exactly what we
need to see more of, and the team’s international
success is great to see,” Minister
Collins said.
As Graham prepares to finish his studies
at UC, he’s looking ahead to a career in the
aerospace industry.
“Now that Spaceport is done, next for
me is finding a job. I hope to end up in the
aerospace industry, and like everyone I
guess, I want to make something that goes
to space.”

‘For a lot of the dogs from pounds
Abbey van der Plas
began rescuing and
rehoming bull dog
breeds 15 years ago.
She tells Sally Blundell
why she does it, and
how she’s changing the
narrative
SAVED: Abbey
van der Plas with
Mocha, one of
the thousands of
dogs she’s rescued
since opening
Christchurch Bull
Breed Rescue 15
years ago.
DIMPLES, MOCHA and big
headed, slobbery-tongued,
muscular Booger – Boogs for
short. Just three of the thousands
of bull breeds – bulldogs, pitbulls,
bull mastiffs, bull terriers,
rottweilers, and, like Boogs, XL
bullies – that have been taken
in by Christchurch Bull Breed
Rescue over the last 15 years.
Behind a six-foot fence on
a corner site in industrial
Woolston, the dogs receive
assessment, medical care, behavioural
training, pats by the
bucket-load and, hopefully, a new
home.
“A lot of pounds around the
country won’t rehome bull breed
dogs but they will send them to a
shelter,” says CBBR founder and
director Abbey van der Plas.
“So for a lot of the dogs we are
taking from pounds, we are literally
their only chance – if they
can’t come to us, they get put
down.”
Some have been bred as fighting
dogs, some have never seen
the outside of a gang house, some
have been tied up for most of
their lives, some abandoned. But
almost all, she says, have been
sentenced by a reputation for being
scary and aggressive.
“At the end of the day they’re
dogs. And there’s no one breed of
dog that is more inherently
dangerous than any other breed
of dog,” she said.
“The misconceptions around
these dogs are false but false narratives
get pushed and believed.
One of the things we like to
do is educate people and if we
can change a couple of people’s
minds, we’ve won that day.”
She gives Mocha, a Cane Corso
(Italian mastiff), a shoulder rub.
Mocha and her sister Chino were
10-months-old when they were
picked up by CBBR.

“They had never left the yard
that they were in and never seen
the world, so everything’s new
for her. She is still a really nervous
girl but the people she knows
and trusts, she is all smooches
and all loves.”
Chino was adopted out a few
weeks ago. “And Mocha, you’re
still looking, aren’t you girl?”
Van der Plas wears her
dog-rescuing story in three
beautifully inked portraits on
her arm.
There’s Syd, an old
gang dog who had never been
inside a home and was about
to be euthanised. Then Linx, a
staffy, and Papa, her current dog
– “I call him my soul dog”.
The CBBR was set up 15 years
ago, initially from the van der
Plas home in New Brighton. As
numbers grew, the father of one
of the many volunteers who feed,
walk and train the dogs gave
the charity use of its current site
close to the Heathcote River.
“One of the things I hear all
the time is, it’s all how they’re
raised, but that’s not necessarily
true. We’ve taken dogs that are
eight, nine-years-old, that have
been raised horrifically in horrific
homes and then they have
come to us and had a complete
turnaround and turned into
social, happy, loving dogs.”
Some dogs are too damaged to
be safely rehomed. Each of the
large potted trees in the CBBR
yard is a memorial to a dog that
has had to be euthanised.
“There’s probably 15 max –
and we’ve had thousands of
dogs.”
To keep this number low,
CBBR offers education on caring
for bulldogs, runs a community
food bank for dog owners and
supports other charities caring
for dogs.
But it is a hard job, financially
and personally.
“One time a guy posted a
picture of my family online
and said, ‘It’s a beautiful family
you’ve got there, Abbey – it
would be a shame for anything
to happen to them’. My heart was
in my throat.”
The police had a warrant out
for his arrest and the man was
subsequently apprehended but
van der Plas was not stopping
there.
“I went to the gang that this
guy was spouting the name of
and said, this guy’s using your
name to threaten me – I’m not
doing anything wrong, I’m just
trying to save dogs. The guy
said, ‘hey look, you don’t have to
worry about this guy. He doesn’t
represent us, you’re good’.”
The CBBR is on the lookout
for larger premises but in the
meantime, the kennel doors
remain open.

‘I’ve always considered myself
a Canterbury Draught gal’
Lion Breweries has
pulled the pin on
Canterbury Draught.
Denise Garland
reminisces
I DON’T REMEMBER the
last time I drank a Canterbury
Draught. Nor the first time,
come to think of it. But ever since
I’ve been old enough to drink,
I’ve always considered myself a
Canterbury Draught gal.
I did most of my growing up
in Christchurch, where my dad
was the head brewer at Lion’s
Canterbury Brewery. My family
had relocated there when Lion
shut its Hawke’s Bay plant in 1997,
and as I grew old enough, the
sweet, slightly bitter, but mostly
inoffensive flavour of Canterbury
Draught called to me.
I would go to high school
parties armed with a six-pack
of Canterbury Draught, sipping
from the cold black-and-red cans
as my friends downed bottles of
raspberry Vodka
Cruisers and
Smirnoff Ice
RTDs.
“I don’t know
how you can
drink something
so bitter,” they
would remark.
Canterbury
Draught always
had a bit of a
challenge in
trying to remain
a strong presence
in a market
saturated with
beers of the same
style, which
included fellow
Lion brands
Speight’s and Lion
Red, as well as Tui
and DB Draught
from its biggest
competitor, DB.
But CD drinkers were fiercely
loyal. My father told me a
Canterbury University student
once legally changed his name
to “Canterbury Draught” for one
year on the promise of regular
free beer. One of the old stands
at Lancaster Park had its roof
painted in Canterbury Draught
branding, despite DB being the
main sponsor of the Canterbury
men’s rugby team at the time.
And when my dad appeared
alongside former All Black
player and coach Alex “Grizz”
Wylie in a TV ad for Canterbury
Draught, he would get stopped by
kids in public and asked for his
autograph.
When I moved to Wellington
for university, I was disappointed
to find neither the liquor store
in Karori, nor the suburb’s
two supermarkets, stocked

Canterbury Draught.
When I visited Christchurch
the following month for my older
brother’s 21st birthday – held at a
function room at the Canterbury
Brewery on St Asaph St, no less – I
shared my conundrum with one
of my dad’s fellow brewers.
“Lion Brown is almost exactly
the same,” I was told. “Just drink
that instead”.
And so I did. And
Castlepoint. And
Southern Draught.
All Lion-brewed
sweet, fizzy, brown
beer that scratched
my Canterbury
Draught itch.
But each time I
returned home to
Christchurch, I’d
reach for a cold
CD out of the
fridge – my old
friend.
A couple of
years later, my
boyfriend brought
a four-pack of a
Belgian beer home
from the New
World where he
worked, that they’d
just got in.
It tasted so different to the beer
I was used to. It had so much
flavour! So much complexity! And
so I began drinking all sorts of
different beer styles; pilsners and
wheat beers at first, then stouts
and porters, even expanding into
sours.
Independent craft breweries
started popping up all over the
place and their beers became
more widely available. My dad
lost his job at Lion and so when
I returned to visit Christchurch,
the fridge was filled with beer
from Matson’s, his new employer,
instead. But even still, when I
spotted Canterbury Draught on
tap at a bar, I’d have to try a glass.
The news that Lion has pulled
the pin on its Canterbury
Draught brand, while not all that
surprising perhaps, did come a bit
out of the blue. Lion is too big of
a player and the draught style too

LONG GONE: The former Canterbury Draught brewery on St Asaph St.
cemented in New Zealand beer
culture for the growth of craft to
be behind its demise.
Canterbury Draught’s death
probably became a forgone
conclusion when Lion was forced
to close its Christchurch brewery
after it sustained major damage in
the February 2011 earthquake.
While CD continued to
be brewed in Auckland and
Dunedin, the fact the large, red
and black building no longer
loomed large at 36 St Asaph St
with its copper brewing vessels
in the large street-front windows,
would certainly not have helped
the brand’s cause. Having to
compete with the ever-popular
Speight’s for market share would
also have played a part.
Lion’s decision brings to an end
34 years of Canterbury Draught,
the beer that started me on my
journey to becoming a beer lover,
judge and now certified cicerone
(a certified hospitality professional
with expertise in selecting and
serving beer).
While it is a sad moment in
time for this Canterbury Draught
gal, I know all is not lost; I can just
take a cold can of Lion Brown,
close my eyes, and let the beer
transport me way back to all those
Canterbury Draught memories.

Spit site touted as
gateway to space
• By Phil Pennington
KAITORETE SPIT is being considered as
a site for multiple launch pads by a joint
venture.
The joint venture running the project
on 1000ha of the spit beside shallow
Lake Ellesmere is gauging demand from
international space companies and asking
them what they need.
International commercial and military
demand has been growing rapidly since
2020 for launches of the small and cheap
type of satellite that Kaitorete is well
suited for.
The Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre
which was set up four years ago, has recently
opened a small runway and hangar
on the spit.
It told RNZ it had “the potential to scale
up the centre, working with the appropriate
partners, to cater for multiple vertical
launch sites”.
“We’ve also been talking to international
companies to understand sector
demand and potential infrastructure
requirements for vertical launch,” chief
executive Linda Falwasser said by email
on Tuesday.
The National Space Agency said it had
funded Tāwhaki to investigate and “the
government . . . is expecting a business
case to be finalised later in 2024”.
The spit could fit up to six launchpads, a
report to the government in 2020, released
under the OIA, advised.
SPACE SPOT: Kaitorete Spit is
currently home to a small runway
and hangar.

AEROSPACE CENTRE
“The maximum possible number of
launch pads is six micro-small pads or
three heavy launch pads,” it said.
However, it was more likely to get two
or three pads for launching small or
micro-size rockets under five tonnes each,
depending on how much area was needed
for emergency debris dispersal (up to
15km, though Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets
use much less).
The aim is to get pads that multiple
companies can use, whereas the country’s
only existing launch site, at Māhia in
Hawke’s Bay, is exclusive to Rocket Lab.

Moore about to tee off with world’s
best at Junior Open Championship
• By Neville Idour
RISING CANTERBURY golf
star Cooper Moore is about
to leave for Scotland where he
will face the biggest and most
exciting challenge to date in his
blossoming career.
The Clearwater club man
will represent New Zealand at
the Kilmarnock course where
he will compete against the
world’s best under-16 golfers at
the Royal &Ancient Junior Open
Championship which is played
every two years. The event starts
on July 15.
The event is a precursor to the
2024 Open Championship at
Royal Troon. Moore will have

RICO PRADHAN looks
set to make his international
age-grade debut at the Oceania
Football Confederation Under-19
Championship.
Pradhan has excelled domestically
this season, and will be

New Zealand opens their OFC
campaign on Saturday against
New Caledonia.
They will then face tournament
hosts Samoa on July 9 and Papua
New Guinea on July 12.
The tournament consists of
two groups of four, with the top
two from each group going into
semifinals, and then the final on
July 18.
Pradhan’s potential international
debut comes off the
back of a meteoric rise through
Christchurch United’s youth
ranks.
It is his first season playing
regular senior football, having
mainly been playing under-17s
until now.
“Last year I wouldn’t even get
many minutes for the reserves,”
he said.
However, coaching changes
and injuries to first team players
allowed him to start a few
preseason games.

from there,” Pradhan said.
The young defender has
since become a mainstay for
Christchurch United’s first team,

The transition “was a little bit
nerve wracking, but I think I’m
getting more and more used to
it,” he said.
“I really push myself to find
that level of confidence to play in
this kind of environment.”
Pradhan, who has yet to be
capped for a New Zealand
youth side, recalled the moment
he was told he would get the
opportunity to represent his
nation.
“I was [waiting] at the
orthodontist with my dad; I was
getting my Invisalign.”
Before being called into the
orthodontist’s room, Pradhan
received an email from NZ
Football informing him of his
international selection.
They were so excited to hear

the greatest but it is going to be

the world’s best do their thing. It
will be an eye opener for what I
want to do in the future.”

about the Kilmarnock course
but was looking forward to the
challenge.
“It is a links course by the
ocean and with the likely winds,
it should be a good test.
“The only links course I have
played is Paraparaumu and I
enjoyed that.”
Moore said he felt his short
game would be a strength at
Kilmarnock.
“My iron play from 100 to 150
metres is pretty good. I may not
be as long as most off the tee but
I am pretty consistent and keep it
in play most of the time, avoiding
trouble. Round the greens I am
also pretty tidy as well.”
Although the Junior Open is
a prestigious event, Cooper will
still have to carry his own bag.
“Most events of national
importance we have to caddy for
ourselves. In under-19 stuff now
you mostly have to caddy for
yourself, but I enjoy that.”
Moore will be joined at the
event by New Zealand’s female
representative Yoonae Jeong
from Wakatipu Junior Golf Club.

Custom bat maker
decides to pull
stumps on business
• By Dylan Smits
WHEN CRICKET star Peter
Fulton scored a triple century for
Canterbury in 2003, he used a
Governor bat.
Now, it’s the end of the innings
for the bat’s maker and Governor
founder, Graham Sercombe, as he
retires after 32 years of producing
custom cricket bats.
Fulton’s score of 301 not out,
from 445 balls, against Auckland
was the sixth triple century by a
New Zealander and the first in 50
years at the time.
“It’s cool to see on TV and
that, but I don’t know how much
attention you really get from it,”
Sercombe said.
He crafts bats and other
cricket gear out of his Governors
Bay workshop aiming for a
personalised, quality product
rather than quantity.
The 62-year-old is an aircraft
engineer at Air New Zealand
and has also worked in coaching
and administration at various
Christchurch sports clubs.
Now looking to purchase a
home in Christchurch and a
caravan for travelling around the
North Island, he is closing up
shop.
“It felt like the right time and
I’m keeping the netting side
of the business so I’ll still have
connections with people in that
sense.”
Governor bats are made from
high-grade English willow
sourced from J.S. Wright and
Sons, the oldest bat willow
supplier in the world.
“It’s always been a part-time
hobby-business. It’s hard for
me to make a lower level bat
because then you have to produce
numbers. So I’ve mainly hit the
custom-made side of the market.”
He is selling his equipment
to Gavin Cox Furniture in
Sydenham which will start
crafting the bats.
Sercombe has made about 300
bats since starting Governor,
selling mostly in New Zealand
but with some going to American
and European customers.
“It’s people who love cricket
and love having something a bit
special about their bat.”
Sercombe has enjoyed showing
his bat-making process to
customers and several school
groups over the years.
“That’s always been good. Some
people have even just come and
had look without any intentions
of buying, but I knew they were
interested in the process.”

including the bat used by Peter Fulton, right, when scoring
a triple century for Canterbury. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
When crafting a Governor bat,
Sercombe presses the willow so it
bounces balls rather than denting
the bat.
“The pressing process is one of
the biggest things about getting
really great quality out of a bat.”
Sercombe’s two sporting
passions are cricket and
badminton.
In his early 20s, he played
for Old Boys Collegians and
for a season in England in the
Middlesex County League.
His favourite part of the
process is when he seals the
sticker on a finished product.
“You can see what you’ve done
when it’s finished and it looks
great. It’s very satisfying.”
He hopes any cricketer who has
used a Governor will celebrate
a legacy of a high-quality,
personalised bats.

Rugby matters
HATS OFF to the new All Blacks
coaching group for allowing a
number of key players to have a
hit out for their clubs prior to the
team naming.
THe likes of Fletcher Newell for
Lincoln Uni, Tamaiti Williams
for Burnside and Sevu Reece for
Sumner, as well as many others
across the country all managed to
get some minutes in.
Player welfare is now monitored
more than ever, especially in the
area of head injury assessments,
including compulsory standdowns
which has been a real step
forward.
It has always been a fine line
between getting players field time
(head injuries aside) and what
the specialists agree on. The bane
of club coaches has always been
the power the academies and
high performance teams have on
controlling their players’ minutes.
The over-cautious approach
at times when a player has come
back from either a light muscle
injury or a tournament where they
are required to rest for weeks after
is frustrating.
They are obviously training
longer than club teams and
in some cases having to travel
distances from tournaments as
well, but many times the players
themselves are fit, keen to play,
and want to get on the field.
Look at the NRL competition
where players can be involved
in one of the toughest games of
the year in State of Origin on a
Wednesday and then front for
their club at theweekend.
Look at Blues captain Patrick
Tuipulotu. What a show of

proved he was capable to play after
a series of fitness tests.
As in Tuipulotu’s case, sometimes
the players just know when
they are going to be right to play.
If he was in pain he didn’t show it.
Many times there have been
players wanting to stay on the
field past their allotted minutes
and contribute to their team,
but have been stopped by overcautious
physios and strength and
conditioning coaches.
Has all this over-care brought
the benefit of reducing the number
of muscle strains?
This year especially, the number
of hamstrings, groin strains and
other soft tissue injuries seem
higher than ever.
A well-respected strength and
conditioning coach told me that
trying to duplicate things such
as speed loading and sprinting at
training is difficult as players need
to be closely monitored to ensure
they are hitting the same speeds
they do in the game.
It is hard for them to push to
those efforts when not in the heat
of battle.
With everything monitored,
from running minutes, speed
tracking, impacts and over-all
loading, one aspect that seems to
be missing is asking the players
themselves.
If they feel up to it and there is
no obvious reason except their
“minutes are to high” then get
them on the grass. The only time
it shouldn’t be left to the players is
in the case of head injuries – that’s
a non-negotiable.

Feminist posse takes to

Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper
THE FEMINIST Clown Posse
is about to be unleashed on
Lyttelton. But those with
coulrophobia need not
worry as these clowns aren’t
scary.
The group’s sold-out
show next Wednesday
promises to bring of fits of
giggles to even those with
a phobia of clowns.
Renowned Australian
entertainer Tessa Waters
(pictured left), who now
lives in Lyttelton, coined
the group’s name to be
TEMPLETON took her
first plunge with the Scarborough
Dippers as they raise funds for the
community, and she’s keen to go
back for more.
The Heathcote
city councillor
went along on
Monday, and
described the
experience as
exhilarating.
“(It was)
actually much
more fun than I
expected, with
such an amazing group of people
Sara
Templeton
“positively provocative”.
“Clowns are seen
as sort of innocent
and putting it with
feminism, which is
quite a strong idea,
will hopefully either
make people interested
in what we’re doing
or realise it’s not for
them,” she said.
Waters’ clown
troupe is part of the
line-up for LytFest,
starting on Friday.
Festivities will start
with the free opening
dipping and a great cause to fundraise
for.”
The annual ‘Wet July’ challenge
started this week. All funds raised
will go towards a new defibrillator
at Taylors Mistake and the
Sumner-based mental health
initiative Surf Ora.
Participants are tasked to take
a dip in the sea every morning for
the month of July.
Templeton expressed gratitude
for the other participants, as
they helped her navigate the
cold waters.
“I was well distracted by a
couple of regular dippers, who
party at Albion Square
from 5-7pm.
• Turn to page 4
Fall in love
with your favourite
before
reminded me to breath through it
and were really encouraging.”
As winter is in full swing, the
water is expected to be around
9-11 degrees.
