Annual “Mapua Car Show” to Debut Sunday, 25th of November 2018
All car and motor bike enthusiasts are invited to display their vehicles in Mapua for the first ever “Mapua Car Show.” This inaugural event will be held Sunday, 25 November from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm on reserve land at the corner of Aranui Road and Tahi Streets, Mapua.
Those who wish to display their vehicles should be parked, as directed by volunteers, and ready for display by 10 am. $5.00 per Car or Motorbike registration fee. Votes taken on the day for “People’s Choice” Best Vehicle.
Along with the public, car and motor bike enthusiasts are encouraged to enjoy a relaxing drive to the Village of Mapua. Bring your own picnic or enjoy the local hospitality at the many village and wharf food and specialty shops.
Spectator entry will be a GOLD COIN donation per ADULT. Children are FREE. All funds from the event will be donated to the Mapua Community Care Project.
The Car Show was originally the brain child of Geoff Gaul, a member of the Chrysler and Jaguar car clubs, who involved Fleur Roberts, another keen car enthusiast. Together Geoff and Fleur have formed a team of very keen locals who are combining their skills to ensure the kickoff motorbike and car enthusiasts day will be a success.

About the Mapua Community Care Project:
Local resident Dale Vercoe is an amazing visionary whose generosity, the gifting of a parcel of land to the Mapua and area Community, is a generous start to making the Community Care Project a reality.
A Trust (The Dale Vercoe Community Care Charitable Trust) is being established to receive the land and promote the project. The purpose of the Trust is to create a facility that meets the health and respite care needs of the Mapua (and area) community. Work is currently being carried out to identify the highest needs and demand for care and health services in the local community.
The Mapua Community Care project is an exciting opportunity for all members of the local community to work together to create a care facility that meets the needs of a growing, diverse community.

Labour Party Hypocrisy
Well, here we go again. More Labour Party hypocrisy.
Just as Labour MP Rachel Boyack has cried crocodile tears over National not building the promised new Nelson hospital when Labour had promised (showing both how little a Labour promise is worth and the hypocrisy of their tears) to get the hospital started before their term ended we now have Deputy Prime Minister Seymour calling for the Air New Zealand shares owned by the government to be sold.
Now that is to be expected given Seymour’s party policies but what is astounding is Labour’s finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds comments in response.
She tells us Air New Zealand is critical national infrastructure and the Government should not be selling its shares.
Very good, but wait. Labour has clearly (and conveniently) ‘forgotten’ which party privatised Air New Zealand.
In 1989, the Labour Government sold Air New Zealand into private ownership. The sale transferred the airline from being a fully state owned national carrier to a privately owned company. The sale was part of a broader wave of Labour privatisations, also including:
• Telecom (1990)
• New Zealand Steel (1987)
• PostBank (1988)
Labour may well have built state houses for working people (not just beneficiaries like Ardern’s government) in the 1930’s but what have they done since? Very, very little other than to ride on that one good thing ever since and, as we are seeing again and again approaching this election, spent most of their time practicing their hypocrisy. Remember the Kiwibuild promise?
If you want truth in politics beware Labour.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
