While I was at the Westland Industrial Heritage Park on the 23rd of November I saw Mort Cruickshank and Jim Butzbach putting on the finishing touches to the replacement ship's wheel for the Tambo Shipwreck Memorial. The original memorial had a plaster plinth which was vandilised and was in such a state that it had to be removed and the wheel was taken away for safekeeping. As you can see the new upright is made from metal and should survive a lot of abuse. A week later the ship's wheel was having the bolt holes drilled in the base by Jim Butzbach with Reuban supervising. By lunchtime the wheel was installed by the Tambo.

We will be planting at the Tambo this Saturday from 8am We have permission from Simon Eyre to plant at the Tambo on the banks next to the pathway - as long as we use all the same plants. Which will be the variegated flax which came from the high school - or possibly the astelia - depends which we have most of. So from 8am we will be digging up, splitting and sorting plants and setting them out ready for re-planting. Linda Powell (John Hartley’s daughter) has arranged her church group to assist with planting They arrive from 10.30-12.30 Anyone available to help can arrive anytime from 8am-12 If we finish early, there is then the planting area around the cabbage tree on the Beach St/Stafford St corner that needs to be dug out and planted. And yes, light rain is forecast - so wear appropriate clothing
