Stay Safe

Over the weekend I was called out to a local address that had a burglary.
They gained access through breaking the latches of an aluminium window, confirming insurer's estimates that 60% of burglaries gain entry to your home through an insecure or open window.
All too easy really.
I spent an afternoon upgrading our own windows with security stays. Just like mechanic's cars, and builder's houses, you'll fix other peoples problems before your own.
Security stays on your windows aren't 100% burglar proof, but they help deter the opportunist burglar from accessing your home. It's a major hassle for them.
Waimak Windows fit quality NZ made, stainless steel, Interlock security stays. They are unobtrusive and sit securely inside the frame. Unlike other face mounted types of stay, you can open your window with one hand and they don’t collect dust.
We also fit detachable stays with keys, to allow the window to open full width when necessary– ideal for bedroom windows that double as an emergency fire exit.
Window stays can provide peace of mind that your house is more secure while you’re busy out in the garden or the back of the house and you can still air your home.
We are currently running a promotion for Security Stays, supplied and fitted for only $20 each (+GST & service fee - windows wider than 70cms require two stays).
Ph Jim on 021 0688932 to arrange a visit.

When you think of pinot noir and sauvignon blanc, you probably don't think North Canterbury. But that could change as 60 vineyards unite under a new brand.

Catherine Keith, chair of the merged association and owner of Mount Brown Estates, says it's hoped wineries can work together to promote the region.

"We feel that Christchurch hasn't quite grasped what a great wine region they have on their doorstep," she says.

Thanks to all our stall holders and to the small team who have managed to juggle a huge range of tasks leading up to and during the Garage Sale and Market day. A big thank you to everyone who donated goods and thanks also for sponsorship from Ashley School, North Canterbury Engineering, and Marilyn and David Ayers.

At the end of the day the combined total, from site fees, garage sale and very generous donations came to over $800 and is just enough to cover our Insurance costs for this year. That means we can confidently offer the building for hire for weddings, funerals and other ceremonies, concerts and worship meetings!

Thousands of people turned out for this year's Northern A&P Rangiora Show last weekend.

Show secretary Lisa Dooling says final figures are yet to be determined, but this year's show takings are up on last year and feedback from visitors has been fantastic.

"Everything just ran really well. It was a good, fun day," she says.

Dooling says the past few months organising the show were "extremely busy", but she managed to fit in some time to knit and even entered an item in the show.

"I won first prize for a knitted hat. A friend of mine came up to me at the show and told me I'd won, so that was nice. I had planned on entering two things but just ran out of time."
