South Canterbury Sports Awards 2018
I attended the South Canterbury Sports Awards last Friday evening (18 May 2018) in Timaru.
It was a great night and the Waimate district was well represented with Toni Oudemans taking out the South Canterbury Masters Sportsperson of the Year.
Congratulations also to Natalie Rooney, Dylan Kennett, Alex Hardacre and Colleen Hardacre for their nominations.
Winter Burning
A reminder to everyone that we should all try to use our wood burners efficiently now that the weather has cooled down.
Environment Canterbury provides great online tips and information about how you can do this, and will even come and talk to you at home about how you can get the best out of your firewood and your burner this winter.
Don’t panic if you see ‘smoke spotters’ out and about – their focus is on assisting you to keep your home warm without unnecessary smoke – they are not interested in handing out fines.
www.warmercheaper.co.nz is worth a look and a chance to win a cosy home pack. Keep warm and well this winter!
