Parumoana Speech Contest.
Parumoana Speech Contest.
Another vote of appreciation goes to David Knight. The speech contest runs seamlessly every year thanks to his great liaison with Sarah Jennings at Discovery School and his behind the s cenes organisation. The looks of pride on the parents face is a real joy. Just to get to this final the students need to be excellent speakers and they did not disappoint.
Chief Judge Wendy claimed the standard of speeches this year was the highest ever. I know I was very impressed. Thanks to the three adjudicators, Wendy, David and Darryl. Thanks to our official photographer, Graham Craig, for recording this event again and to other Rotarians who supported the event.
Be prepared for upcoming roadworks
SH1 Transmission Gully works until mid-February, weather permitting.
There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.
