Ryman’s Peace of Mind Guarantees are designed with your protection in mind, giving you the confidence to live the way you want and to embrace every opportunity.

Take Ross for example. He’s a Ryman resident who began his musical journey at the age of 65. His ‘no worries’ lifestyle has meant that ten years later, Ross plays in several bands and tours in different towns playing music on a guitar he made himself. A little certainty provides great reassurance in knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.

Volunteers needed to operate Yusuf Islam's peace train when it arrives in Christchurch

British singer-songwriter Yusuf Islam, better known as Cat Stevens, announced last year he was donating an electric-powered peace train to Christchurch.

He came up with the idea while in Christchurch following the March 2019 mosque attacks, when he travelled across the world to perform his classic hit Peace Train at the memorial service held just days after the attacks. He wanted the train to bring smiles to future generations.

The train, a reference to his 1971 hit of the same name, has four carriages to carry children and families and operates without tracks. It is expected to arrive in New Zealand soon, and will be officially unveiled as part of this year’s commemorations of the attacks.

However, the city council needs to find people to drive it and organise the volunteers.

Council parks, programmes and partnership manager Kate Russell​ said the council planned to run the train in South Hagley Park on the second Sunday of every month – except for the winter months of June, July and August – from 10am to 4pm.

“We’re looking for a group of willing volunteers to drive the train and to act as conductors for people wanting a ride.”

It also wanted someone to co-ordinate the volunteers, organise the roster and train schedule.

“If you love trains, enjoy being around children and are willing to commit to a minimum of three two-hour shifts a year, we would love to hear from you.”

Expressions of interest can be emailed to kate.russell@ccc.govt.nz

Morning All,

We do general metal repair, welding and small fabrication. This customer, in an effort to escape the pouring rain, forgot to raise the rear caravan steady legs bending them to the point they were unusable.

They brought parts to us and we dismantled them and straightened the threaded rod for less than half the cost of replacing the pair.

The AEA web event is a free monthly online meeting using Zoom video conferencing software. With three 10 minute speakers and member sharing. Participants can join the web event from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. ALL WELCOME

The purpose of the web events is to carry the message to newcomers who live in areas where there are no AEA meetings and to strengthen areas where there are sole AEA members. These events are not designed to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, we hope that face-to-face meetings will grow and increase as a result of having regular web events.

These would be great for experimenting with glazes, or just decorating these pieces. All well thrown - obviously the work of an experienced thrower. They were donated to the charity I volunteer for, and all funds will go to the charity. Pickup is Huntsbury.

Price: $60
