Mother’s Day High Tea at Inglewood’s Ritz (Robin Drake) White table cloths, the finest bone china, three varieties of Himalayan tea, pretty posy bowls of fresh flowers, and the quintessential three-tiered cake plates laden with exquisite and tasty delicacies, all set the scene for an unforgettable ‘Mother’s Day High Tea’. Greeted on arrival by Robin Drake and Michael Self (Inglewood’s Town Cryer) in full regalia, each person was duly escorted to their respective place setting by the High Tea Hostesses. Lots of mums, g r a n d m o t h e r s , daughters, nieces, and a few brave husbands, were together for this special day of the year. One family even managed to get

three generations together, and for others getting together with friends and extended family for a posh High Tea on a Sunday afternoon in Inglewood was equally as much fun. All ‘glammed up’ for the event, the ladies be-jewelled and adorned with strings of pearls, an orchid corsage to complement their beautiful outfits, made for a truly wonderful sight to behold. The afternoon got into full swing with Inglewood’s great personality, Karen Clarke compere and vocalist, accompanied by the talented Paul Adams on keyboard. ‘A Mother as Lovely as You’ was a fitting finale with everyone joining in to sing this nostalgic number and $2,000 was presented to Denise Loveridge, representing Inglewood Welfare Society and Marinoto. What a glorious afternoon all 86 attendees and helpers enjoyed. The ‘Mother’s Day High Tea’ fund raiser for Marinoto’s new hospital wing was a huge success. The organisers would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who braved the weather and participated in the event for such a worthy cause.

The government has decided that we are going to wean ourselves off fossil fuels. What does that mean, is there a strategy or plan? Oil, gas and coal can be replaced, that is accepted, the ability and cost to replace them and what with, is where it becomes more difficult. Imagine: What will replace petrol and diesel? Electric vehicles, but from what I have seen prices will be out of reach of the majority, maybe ethanol, but can we grow the type crops that produce it? For planes? Don’t know. Ships? Don’t know that one. Gas for industry and domestic use? Don’t know that either. For 150 years our economy has been running on fossil fuels. It is just too simple to say we are going to stop, the transition time will be long, difficult and costly. If you are wealthy it will be easier if you are not it will be far more difficult

A big thank-you goes to the person who left a copy of Bob Brown’s book, 100 Years History of Inglewood, at the Information Centre for me. It was some years ago that I wrote in my column that I wanted to buy a copy, if anyone had one to spare. That request did not get me a book but the Brown family did let me have one on loan for a while. Now this one has been left for me and I do not know who to thank personally. Someone has a good memory and I will treasure the book and use it as a reference. Last night we stayed up and watched the Royal Wedding on television. It was a great spectacle that was played out in St. Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle. The weather was marvellous for the carriage procession around Windsor, and so many people gathered around the route to see the happy couple. It has been so disappointing that the media has seen fit to print so much negativity about the Markle family, in the lead-up to the marriage. What good does it do to drag up all the bad points about her family members? The Royal Family seems to have embraced Meghan and accepted her for what she is. Television and the newspapers tend to have too much influence these days. So often they take one side and push that as if that is the only one. The media should keep us informed of both sides of the coin so that we can make up our own minds what is right and what is wrong.

Food for thought, eh?

Inglewood Primary Car Boot Sale Plus Fun (Debbie Carter)

Last month we had a lovely evening showcasing our e-bikes when hosted by Inglewood First’s IA5 at the Inglewood Fire Station. Many of the guests had a wee taster ride and seemed to enjoy the experience.

There were lots of whoops and squeals and a few wobbles but nobody fell off!! So if you think an e-bike might be for you but have a million questions we can help you. Some common questions are- What is an E-bike? How does an e-bike work? Are e-bikes cheating? What do you want an e-bike for? Can you go faster? How long do batteries last? What after sales service is available? Feel free to give us a call! Weather permitting, we are contemplating an open day at our Mamaku Street warehouse for people to have a go. If you are interested, please let us know on our Facebook page facebook.com/edbikes.co.nz

Hey Everybody Come to IPS for some fun

We'll be here from nine till one

Come for a sav, slide or dip Just bring your gold coins Then you can really rip

Mum and dad can come too But for them its a tenner

If they load their car To sell anything they wanna

So there will be lots to do and eat And DJ Ben will rock you with his beats

Marinoto Hospital Wing News (Dr Diane Jones)

New total $161,276. Well many thanks to the organizers and participants at the fundraising events over the weekend. All went very successfully with new funds adding to the account. Also thanks to sponsors such as Inglewood New World, Yarrows, Value Timber and others who have been supporting the fundraisers. Still

a way to go to the $250,000 needed for the outfitting, so please do not stop your community efforts yet. There are still significant ways you as an individual can contribute, such as buying the shopping bags made here in Inglewood and available at the Inglewood library, or when you fill up at ‘Z Inglewood’ putting a token in the ‘Good in the Hood’ receptacle for Marinoto – any contributions gratefully accepted. And if you want to make an individual contribution, the forms are at Fun Ho! Toys. The building project has started, so do not delay – we need the money soon!

Ueki Educational Tours is a not for profit organisation that arranges informal small group exchanges between Taranaki and Ueki in Japan. The group has been involved in eleven exchanges since it started. The first one was in 1994 and the most recent exchange was in 2013. Usually flying into Fukuoka where the group is picked up and taken back to Ueki to meet their host families. The organisation on the Japan side was Council based but was disbanded, then a group of volunteers picked the exchanges up and have kept them going. The committee will organise for months ahead all the activities and host families and they always do an excellent job of it. Ueki is famous for growing their round watermelon which they supply all around Japan. All the trips include a trip to Nagasaki which is a beautiful harbour city. Visiting the Peace Park and War Museum while travelling around the city. Trips include castles and temples and parks. Activities may include pottery, fans and lantern making. Often exchanging cooking and music. Most of the time there will be organised day trips. There is usually plenty of time for shopping. The group may visit Mount Aso which is an active volcano and can look out over the crater. Travelling in springtime you get to and enjoy the blossoms hence an April trip. All adults and students who are interested in Japan, the culture and the people are welcome

to attend. It is not necessary to know the Japanese language but you will learn some words. The meeting will be at 4.00pm on Sunday 27 May at 22 Matai Street, Inglewood. Any queries ring Natalie at 756 7608 or 027 200 6435.

Gardening with Sue from Hammer (Sue Marsh)

We met at secretary Eileen Holts home in New Plymouth on a lovely afternoon. Motto: friendship is the most valuable thing of all human possessions. Roll call: My opinion of today’s fashion. Mostly great with the exceptions holes in jeans and raggy bottom shorts. Many ice cream containers of various biscuits were donated to the district nurses for distribution to their clients. We were pleased to receive an invite to events from both Durham and Mangorei. Guest speaker Sue Oliver kept us well entertained telling of her community gardening work in the old Te Henui cemetery. With three or four others she tidies and plants old grave plots to transform the area into a veritable rainbow of flowers and trees. There are 14000 headstones within the 24 acres and the work is never ending.

As we head into the last days of Autumn, we have had fairly good weather, certainly only a couple of cooler days, and as you can see from

your lawn, everything is still growing. I’m not too sure why my rhododendron that flowers in September is full of new blooms, but I’m not the only gardener that has seen some odd displays of unseasonable flowering around here at present. It may be due to the warmer summer, and continuing warm autumn, that has seen some plants decide to have a second burst of flowering. Leaf time is here, so make sure you have a handy leaf rake, to keep your lawn, garden beds, and paths free of leaves, the best place for them is in the compost heap. Our new favourite toy, is a DeWalt blower attachment that runs on our Li-Ion Battery from our drill, now everyone wants to keep the footpath clear of leaves, and much more fun than the broom! Come in and ask for a demo, I’m sure there will be a rush for the new ‘toy’ to show you how easy it is! It is that time of the year again, when we launch into planting the ‘P’ plants into our gardens, and what a choice of pansies, primulas, polyanthus and primroses. Potted colour is just so easy, and you should be removing those summer annuals that are past their best, and swapping over now, while you still feel like getting out into the garden, before the chill of winter takes hold. Remember, this coming month is Garlic time, so if you missed last year, then plan to plant some this June around the shortest day. Make a bit of time for your garden this week, if the weather comes to the party, and don’t forget Hammer Hardware is now open on Sundays from 9.30 to 12.30, so make Sunday – Garden Day! Happy Gardening.

Zulu Love is a group of musicians based in Soweto, Johannesburg. Their deep rich African harmonies blend traditional styles such as isicathamiya with upbeat African soul music. They will be giving one performance on Wednesday 30 May 7.30pm at the TET Cue Theatre. Inglewood Direct from South Africa, the singers are truly world class and have sung at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics and the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. They have also starred in global touring productions of major South African musicals such as Stimela the Musical and Spirit and Bones. The band members come from different musical backgrounds, from gospel to R&B and traditional music styles such as Iscathamiya. Their music is a fusion of these different styles never losing the flavour of Africa. In Zulu Love’s 2018 show –South African Harmonies- the songs and dance tell of everyday life, love and worship. “In South Africa music and dance go together, it is in our blood. No matter what we are doing we will sing and dance. We dance when we are busy at home,

when we work and even at funerals. Music heals our souls, when we are sad music revives our spirits. All in all music is food for life”. “We hope to take the audience to South Africa with our show and put a smile on their faces. If you feel sad, you’ll be happy; if you are happy, you’ll be happier. Zulu Love is there to heal your wounded soul”. Tickets $32 from eventfinda or at the door (unless sold out). Natascha Sobrino 0275 171943.

Studio 64 Presents ‘The Andrew London Trio’ (Karen Clarke)

Our June guests at Studio 64 are the very funny and talented Andrew London Trio. Andrew London, a consummate showman hailing from Wanganui when it was spelt that way, has spent the last 20 odd years performing his self-penned satirical and quirky jazz/country/blues-influenced songs at venues, clubs and festivals of all sizes throughout Australasia and beyond. Firstly with Hot Club Sandwich, and now with a trio bearing his own name, he continues to travel extensively to share observations on our Kiwi values, attitudes, obsessions and idiosyncrasies in an innocuous, up-tempo 1940s swing style, albeit with an ever-so-slightly cynical eye. The song titles say it all: ‘Let’s Talk About Me’, ‘I Hugged My Mate’, ‘Appliances’, ‘Middle Aged Man in Lycra’ and ‘My daughter’s Got a Boyfriend’ all pay homage to (and playfully lampoon) themes such as self-obsessed socialites, rugby culture, consumerism, cycling and the generation gap. There are plenty more...almost a score of albums’ worth to date. The Andrew London Trio usually features himself on guitar and his wife Kirsten on bass (who delivers occasional gems from the Peggy Lee, Julie London and Blossom Dearie songbooks), with Nils Olsen on sax and clarinet. A shared love of Gatsby-era show songs and swing standards defines the overall vibe, but sallies into blues, country, folk and western swing are frequent and joyous. While humour is to the fore, poignancy and pathos make the occasional appearance - just like real life. As always these top class acts appearing locally are made possible through our musical friendships and networks and we are delighted that Andy and the gang are stopping off in Inglewood. All welcome to an evening of subversive satire and scintillating swing! Friday 1 June, 7.30pm (Queens Birthday Weekend) $20 at the door.
