Marlborough Taylor 10

Cristina from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

This is a new running/walking event being held for the first time on Saturday 11 November 2017

The course is completely off road, utilising the beautiful Taylor River reserve which runs through the heart of Blenheim.
​
Because it follows the banks of the Taylor River, the course is more or less flat, making it suitable for any runner or walker.
​
Whilst we expect some real speedsters to be out to set a course record in the first event, this event is about getting fit, taking part, enjoying the company of others and making the most of what Marlborough has to offer.
​
You can enter as a walker or a runner. Each category will be eligible for placing awards and everybody will be eligible for spot prizes, including a $1000 travel voucher sponsored by Versatile Homes & Buildings Blenheim.

We are partnering with the Mental Health Foundation of NZ as official charity of the Taylor10. To help out, you can make a small donation when you enter.

I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.

Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,

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!
