Ten years later and with two businesses under his belt, Heaven said he wanted to better equip himself for overseas business meetings and signed up to his local Toastmasters club to hone his public speaking skills.

Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and smoked cheese and chilli nachos.
So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.

All parents and grandparents should be aware of this myth about youth sport: Following an intensive training programme in a single sport at a young age does not increase your kid’s chances of becoming a world champion.

While many RSA clubs around the country are at risk of closing due to dwindling numbers and increasing overheads, RSA building committee chairman Ross Ditmer said the Rangiora club had been reinvigorated by its recent upgrade, which cost nearly $4 million.
The RSA was a chartered club, meaning anyone could become a member, and a lot of younger people in their 20s had joined, he said.

"I see in article on Stuff, that Rangiora is finally going to get a "Community Service Centre" that will offer General Surgery, Orthopedics etc (this is great news, and thanks to Sandra and Paula who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for this outcome), - Common Sense says I thought these services were offered in a Hospital. The need for a 2nd Hospital in Christchurch is well known. The existing Christchurch Hospital is a great facility, and sadly as recent events have shown, well equipped to cope with any emergency.
However; the problems with the existing Hospital are also well known, IE; Capacity (even with the new Acute Services Block been built), Parking, Access to name a few. I note that this new "Facility" is not going to have a Emergency Department. With a Increasing and Aging Population in the Waimakariri (and North Christchurch), this defies Common Sense.
A new Level 4 Hospital in Rangiora would go a long way to address some of these issues."

Charlotte Whittaker, 18, and Esra McGoldrick, 19, who are currently on holiday from their American universities, said they were surprised by the call up.
"I played for the junior Tall Ferns last year and, at 18, I thought it would be at least a couple of years before I'd be considered for the Tall Ferns, so it's just amazing – I still can't believe it," Whittaker says.
