Former medium pacer and club stalwart Phil Schofer presented the 32-year-old with his cap, which Houghton said was a real honour.

Drop in any time from 11am - 2pm at The Dowse Art Museum (James Coe 2 meeting room) to hear more about this exciting project.
The proposed cycleway will provide a connection between residential areas, workplaces, the hospital, schools, the CBD, local shopping centres and public transport hubs. We want to use the rail corridor to create a cycling 'spine', extending between Seaview and Taita. It will also link to the planned Wainuiomata and Eastern Bays shared pathways as well as the Hutt River Trail.
If you’d like to find out more, call in tomorrow, we look forward to seeing you!
