Humility, respect, determination, TEAM - and a plan! (and, oh & a huge smattering of skill)

What a game from the 2 down-under teams!
So much to gush about and what a work-out for the spectators, let alone the players!

SPRING AT LAST!

Blog Posts have been lacking for a while now as we recovered from a harsh winter - and just like that we lurched into a stunning spring (well not from a farmers' point of view - please let it rain sometime soon in all of North Canterbury!)

There are many opportunities for students to be involved in Sport, so please peruse the pages on this blog or visit the Waimak Council website for Club Information.

I don't fully support the notion of winter sports competitions being held in Summer because I think it is important for children to be involved in a variety of activities. Having said that, there is summer hockey, twilight netball & football to name a few.

I hope as many of our children get involved with the numerous opportunities out there - Touch Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Swimming, Athletics, Running, Biking, Hiking, Gymnastics, Trampoline, Basketball etc.

The Rangiora Golf Club "Junior" Programme will commence 18th October and run until the end of March 2016, with a break in the programme over the Christmas holiday period.

The programme is suitable for children 6 yrs to 18 yrs and will be held on Sunday morning from 10.30am until 11.30am and has been designed to introduce the game of golf to prospective and budding young golfers.  Golf clubs are not necessary as the Club has a selection of clubs available for use.

Please contact annabel.wilson@xtra.co.nz for information on these and other sporting and recreational clubs.

I am posting an ad for a company that is supporting Sport in North Canterbury, just like our very special MAINPOWER.
