Update on our golf tournament

Yvonne Joynes from Kiwanis Club of Westside Hamilton

Wow, what a great day that was.

We would have liked more teams but we still made around $11,500 which has now gone towards distraction packs to help distract children when having blood tests etc done at Pathlab. These are now available at Tristram Street and Rototuna Pathlabs in Hamilton plus a number of outlying areas.
These packs have so many things to help distract children of all ages and I believe, will be kept in the rooms where the tests are taken rather than in the waiting rooms.
Thank you to all those wonderful sponsors, those who donated prizes and particularly the players on the day. Without you all this could never have happened.

DIY – Terracotta Bud Vases

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

Take on the terracotta trend and sculpt a unique floral feature.

- Rolling pin

Take on the terracotta trend and sculpt a unique floral feature.


You will need:

- Modelling clay (air-drying or baking)
- Rolling pin

- Knife
- Straw
- Fine sandpaper
- Test pot brush
- Paint test pots (we like Resene Sakura & Resene Apple Blossom)
- Resene FX Paint Effects Medium
- Small sponge
- Cord to hang


Step one: Start by rolling out your clay about 7mm thick (A). It’s important to work on a clean, non-stick surface.
Step two: Use a knife to cut a rectangle as long as you want the main shape to be, then cut a square roughly twice the width of the rectangle and two-thirds the height (B). No matter what shape you’re making, the top piece must be wider to form a dome or pocket. The backing piece always needs to be taller and have enough height to support your flora and allow for a hole.


Step three: If using air-drying clay, dip your fingers in water and wet the edges of the clay slightly – baking clay does not require any water to seal together. Take the smaller, wider square piece and make an arc over the backing piece, bringing the sides together (C). Press the sides down so the clay bonds together, then do the same along the bottom (D), making sure you still have a curved opening at the top.

What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.
