Eight new locations of interest – including a casino, department store and icecream shop – have been identified in Christchurch after two new cases of Covid-19 in the region were announced on Tuesday.

The locations included Christchurch Casino on Victoria St, visited between 9.30pm last Wednesday and 12.30am the following day, TANK Juice Bar in Cashel Square on Hereford St between 3.51pm and 4pm, and the Christchurch Adventure Park and Cafe in Cracroft between 3.40 pm and 6.30 pm on Thursday.

Anyone who visited the locations during the listed times was asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after being exposed.

The same advice was issued for anyone who visited the popular Riverside Market on Oxford Tce between 4.29pm and 5pm last Wednesday, Rollickin Gelato Cafe on Cashel St on the same day between 5pm and 5.05pm, or Ballantynes department store on Cashel St between 4.11pm and 4.31pm.

Anyone who visited Kathmandu on Colombo St in central Christchurch on the same day between 3.40pm and 3.50pm or Kmart on Riccarton Rd on Thursday between 7.45pm and 8.30pm should also self-monitor for symptoms.

The Ministry of Health advised anyone who developed symptoms to stay home until a negative test result was returned.

A little certainty provides great reassurance in knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.

QEII pools to close for two weeks for maintenance

One of Christchurch’s biggest pool complexes will be closed for two weeks this summer for planned maintenance work.

The pools at Taiora: QEII Recreation and Sports Centre would be closed from January 17 to 30 for work including maintenance of circulation pumps, filters, heating systems and pool tanks.

The rest of the facility, including the gym and group fitness classes, would remain open as normal, but pool staff would be redeployed to other facilities during this time

Christchurch City Council head of recreation, sports and events Nigel Cox said contractors did as much as they could during last year’s level 3 lockdown when the pools were closed to the public.

The work was part of the council’s regular, rolling maintenance schedule for its recreation facilities, he said.

An automatic door between the pool change rooms and reception would also be installed to help cut down on any draughts coming from reception through to the pool.

“We thank the community for their patience when we carry this work out across our network. This regular maintenance helps avoid unscheduled shutdowns.”

The work was scheduled now, while the summer school holidays were still under way, to minimise the impact on Swimsmart lessons and group bookings, Cox said.

People could still book into school holiday swimming programmes at one of the council’s other facilities: Jellie Park, Pioneer, Graham Condon or the recently opened Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood Pool.

Cox encouraged the community to use other facilities, or the council’s summer pools, while the QEII pools were closed.

Summer pools are located in Lyttelton, Waltham and Templeton, as well as Jellie Park and Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre.

Morning All,

We do general metal repair, welding and small fabrication. This customer, in an effort to escape the pouring rain, forgot to raise the rear caravan steady legs bending them to the point they were unusable.

They brought parts to us and we dismantled them and straightened the threaded rod for less than half the cost of replacing the pair.

The AEA web event is a free monthly online meeting using Zoom video conferencing software. With three 10 minute speakers and member sharing. Participants can join the web event from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. ALL WELCOME

The purpose of the web events is to carry the message to newcomers who live in areas where there are no AEA meetings and to strengthen areas where there are sole AEA members. These events are not designed to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, we hope that face-to-face meetings will grow and increase as a result of having regular web events.
