An Invitation;
On Thursday 4th December 2025 1.30pm - 3.30pm there is to be an unveiling of a memorial beach seat that the CCC is erecting and the naming of the beach access track to it for my mother Olympian #166 Marise Chamberlain (MNZM) 1935-2024.
This is a tribute to her legacy as a trailblazing figure in World and New Zealand women's athletics and sport.
A memorial celebration of her sporting life will commence at the South Brighton Surf Club at 1.30pm followed by attendees walking to the adjacent seat location on the beach for cutting of a ribbon.

But under that neat garden and solid paths, our camera told a different story…
We found several cracks and offsets in the old ceramic drain lines, likely hidden damage from the 2010–2011 quakes. Nothing too dramatic yet, but it was only a matter of time before things got messy.
Luckily, the property still had an EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim on record. Our team stepped in to help the owner with the process, and before long, the repairs were fully approved and sorted at no extra cost to them.
We replaced the damaged sections, tidied everything up, and left both the tenant and landlord relieved they’d caught the problem early.
Moral of the story: sometimes a “routine check” can save you a lot of stress (and cash) down the line!

Each bag is about a metre long and contains rehabilitation rollers, the foam cylindrical type used in movement and recovery work. If anyone has seen them, or picked them up thinking they were left out, we would really appreciate hearing from you. They are hard to replace, and important for my wife’s work supporting people recovering from stroke and other injuries. Many thanks.
