Were you at “It’s in the bag” or the Sesqui Centennial concert at the Regent Theatre which involved members from the Hokitika Savage Club and the Hokitika Dramatic Society?
Did you work at Seaview Hospital or attend the 125th Anniversary Reunion?
Remember what the Wildfood’s Festival used to be like back in the 90’s?
Have you ever seen heli-logging up close?
All this and much more will be on show on Saturday 29th September at Hokitika’s Regent Theatre. Bar opens at 6.30pm, show starts at 7pm.
This Nostalgia Night is being organised by the Westland Industrial Heritage Park in association with the Hokitika Lions Club and Hokitika/Westland RSA as a fundraiser. It will help fund the restoration of the very rare 1914 World Ward 1 Sunbeam Rover Ambulance in time to commemorate the end of the war in 1918.
Clothing drying racks like those that used to hang over the coal range back in Grandparents day. These ones are made of aluminium for lightness and strength. Included in purchase are the pulleys, ropes, hooks, so that all that is required is a drill to bore the holes in the ceiling.

Included in purchase are the pulleys, ropes, hooks, so that all that is required is a drill to bore the holes in the ceiling.
Rack is 2m long (long enough to hang a sheet on) x 1m wide with 5 lines of clothes line you can peg your washing on. Frame is coated in marine varnish for durability, thus it can be used inside above the fire (only hangs 13cm from ceiling) or in carport (as in pictures). Compare my price- advertised on-line price $375 for a kitset rack half the size, or ads in magazine that start at $200 for 3 lines.

This year Age Concern New Zealand want all New Zealanders to sign up as Age Concern Dignity Champions and stand up for the human rights of older Kiwis.
“There is no excuse for elder abuse, says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive. I am appalled that we are still having to deal with cases each day where older people are taken advantage of.
“Just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are less valuable, have less purpose or should lose basic human rights, the right to make their own choices and respect from those around them.
“Of the cases we see, 75% of alleged abusers are family members, either adult children or partners of adult children and that needs to stop!
“So come on Kiwis we all have a part to play. You can take a stand against ageism and join me by signing up today!” says Stephanie.
An Age Concern Dignity Champion pledges to:
• Reject stereotypes and focus on the uniqueness of every individual
• Speak up when they hear people speaking negatively about growing old
• Have the courage to question practices they feel are disrespectful to older people
• Not patronise older people
• Be patient, polite and friendly
• Have zero tolerance for abuse or neglect
• Build relationships – they combat isolation and loneliness by getting to know the older people in their lives.

This musical is set in 1958 and was inspired by the phenomenon of popular singer Elvis Presley and his draft into the Army in 1957. The rock star in this musical is "Conrad Birdie” who is the biggest thing to top the charts.
Women love Conrad, men want to be like him and teenage girls around the country scream with glee at the mere mention of his name. But when the United States Army drafts Birdie, Manager Albert Peterson sees his meal ticket preparing to fly the coop. Desperate for a publicity stunt big enough to help them survive Birdie’s departure, Albert hatch’s a plan to save his famous stars career, and to shore up his own bank account.
This is a great show with lots of great music and performances – and an excellent nights entertainment.
Performances Friday 21st at 7 pm, Saturday 1pm and Saturday 22nd at 7pm. Concession prices for families, seniors, students and children.
