Our 'Big Ram' SPCA Op Shop in Tirau officially has a name.... Henry!
Congrats to our winner John, who submitted this đ The inspiration behind this suggestion was so lovely it won the hearts of our SPCA team đ
Henry was submitted in memory of Henry Clothier, 1941-2021 - the 'Tin Man' credited with transforming Tirau. It was Clothierâs vison for Tirau to transform the i-Site Public Toilets to be a giant corrugated-iron dog to sit alongside the established sheep-shaped wool shop of its time. All three were built from 1994-2005, and now years later Tirauâs corrugated set of iron animals are standing strong on State Highway One and have become a local landmark.
We wanted to express our appreciation to all of you - our lovely supportive community who took part in sharing names for him. We loved all the amazing entries that came through đ

The rural sector will pull the country out of recession, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told farmers at Mystery Creek on Tuesday.
