Richmond Glass Mowsworth Challenge 2024

Krisca Gould from Nelson Tasman Hospice

Saturday 23 March 2024 - Join us on the Mowsworth Rampage Challenge!

Cancer is NOT fun. But this Ride-on Lawnmower challenge will be.
We're calling on people to join with Nelson Tasman Hospice and Cancer Society Nelson Tasman as we take on this challenge as a tribute to support our local people in our care.

In 1 day, you will cover 86km... on a Ride-on Lawnmower (minus the blades).

YES! That is your challenge. To conquer the Molesworth track (from Molesworth Station to Hanmer Springs.)

Yes, it will be a long hot, dusty slog. Yes, you will be riding a lawn mower with no guts. Yes, you will laugh and curse and think you could walk faster than this (but you can't).

Yes, it will be hard, but this challenge is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to go through every day.

Join Cancer Society Nelson Tasman and Nelson Tasman Hospice and ride with us in the Mowsworth Rampage to raise money to help support our locals.

The Mowsworth Rampage is the coolest, longest, hardest and most gruelling test of endurance on a ride-on lawnmower that we know of. Are you up for the challenge?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
