Model Railway Christmas Grotto

Arthur from Rangiora

On behalf of the NORTH CANTERBURY MODEL RAILWAY CLUB Inc. I want to thank all those who came to our club rooms to see our Model Railway Christmas Grotto and the layouts in our "Great Hall". This was the first time an event like this had been staged by us and possibly in N.Z. to our knowledge. There were a lot of happy and satisfied visitors from many other places in N.Z. We had a lot of great comments / compliments about what we had done and lots of interesting conversations about early model railway. All the children seemed to enjoy THOMAS AND FRIENDS as well, This event was more successful than we had anticipated. Again a BIG THANK YOU to all who supported this activity.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

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!
