Picnic area for spa site

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Shake out the picnic blanket, cut the sammies and get baking some muffins.

The Hurunui District Council has agreed to lease a small section of the Queen Mary Historic Hospital Reserve to the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa as a picnic area.

The plan is to use this space for a picnic area in coordination with the new attractions going in at the pools and the expected increase in visitors.

"We believe the new cascade pools and Conical Thrill ride will increase our patronage this summer and are very pleased that we will have additional land to accommodate everyone comfortably," Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa general manager Graeme Abbot says.

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
