Richmond Glass Mowsworth Challenge 2024
Saturday 23 March 2024 - Join us on the Mowsworth Rampage Challenge!
Cancer is NOT fun. But this Ride-on Lawnmower challenge will be.
We're calling on people to join with Nelson Tasman Hospice and Cancer Society Nelson Tasman as we take on this challenge as a tribute to support our local people in our care.
In 1 day, you will cover 86km... on a Ride-on Lawnmower (minus the blades).
YES! That is your challenge. To conquer the Molesworth track (from Molesworth Station to Hanmer Springs.)
Yes, it will be a long hot, dusty slog. Yes, you will be riding a lawn mower with no guts. Yes, you will laugh and curse and think you could walk faster than this (but you can't).
Yes, it will be hard, but this challenge is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to go through every day.
Join Cancer Society Nelson Tasman and Nelson Tasman Hospice and ride with us in the Mowsworth Rampage to raise money to help support our locals.
The Mowsworth Rampage is the coolest, longest, hardest and most gruelling test of endurance on a ride-on lawnmower that we know of. Are you up for the challenge?
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
