Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry companion, and at Ryman, you are welcome to bring your pet along, provided they are suitable for the village environment.
Once your pet is approved for the village, the focus shifts to ensuring a smooth transition for them. Dogs and cats, being creatures of habit, may find relocating stressful. However, with patience and a thoughtful approach, we can mitigate their anxiety and help them settle into their new surroundings seamlessly.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.
Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.
Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.

In 2021 I started coaching a netball team, we called ourselves “Eve’s Angels” as we were sponsored by Eve’s Apples 🍎 2024 is my 4th season coaching the same young ladies. This year, in December, we will travel to Fiji to enter a netball tournament.
I have watched these girls turn into young woman and observed a huge improvement in their playing skill and confidence on and off the court. It has been nothing but a privilege to be a part of their lives.
The Fiji Festival provides us with a chance to give back to grass roots netball and grow the amazing netball community. Eve's Angels will become buddies with a local Fijian team during the festival and we will be taking netball donations from NZ for them e.g. old netball uniforms, bibs, balls etc.
This trip is not just about sports; it's an opportunity for personal growth, team building, fostering a spirit of sportswomanship and a love for netball across borders. These young women have never been the A Team nor a Rep Team, but they have worked hard to develop their netball skills and they are a dedicated, passionate, loyal and hardworking team who support each other both on and off the court and have a lot of fun!
Heading to Fiji to celebrate everything about this team is a dream that we have made a reality. If you can help ease the cost for us to get there (which is a big cost for some), that would be most appreciated ❤️😊

At the heart of this initiative is Kathleen Cuthbert, the dedicated organiser who has been steering the voluntary-run service with an unwavering commitment since the beginning. The shuttle service is entirely fuelled by the generosity of donations and the selflessness of over 25 volunteers. With vital support from benefactors whose contributions are indispensable for its survival, the shuttle operates Monday to Friday, ensuring that no one is left stranded on the hospital grounds. “Without the support we already have and grants from other organisations, we simply could not exist.”
Clive Workman emphasises the critical role that grants such as that from Network Tasman Trust play in maintaining the shuttle and ensuring the ongoing safety of its passengers. “The Rotary Club has been instrumental in providing major funding that sustains our operations, yet, it is the added kindness of individual donors, such as Network Tasman Trust and the generosity displayed in our onboard donation box, that also keeps us going. From purchasing new tyres to repairing damaged canopies, every donation makes a tangible difference in our ability to provide a public service.”
The impact of the service speaks volumes, with over 10,000 passengers shuttled between July 2020 and September 2023 alone. Such recognition has not gone unnoticed, as the team proudly accepted the Tasman Award for their outstanding contributions and was honoured with a Health Department award at Parliament House by Dr. Ashley Bloomfield.
With call buttons across the hospital grounds, the team are keen to raise funds for the installation of security cameras to safeguard the vital signifiers. “Additionally, we are proud to announce the upcoming installation of a plaque and seat in honour of Russell Egan and all volunteers who have dedicated their time and efforts to our cause. We extend a heartfelt thanks to those who have helped us out in the past along with an invitation to individuals to join our team of volunteers.”
