LOOKING FOR A RENTAL WHILE WE BUILD

We are a mature, professional couple looking to rent a house for 6-12 months while we build near Glenorchy. We are hoping to be able to move down early in 2018, but don’t have a fixed date yet. We’d prefer an unfurnished house, at least 2 bedrooms. Don’t mind if it is out of town; given the pressure on the rental market we are prepared to look at anything. We do have a dog – huntaway/border collie cross – so a fence would be good!

Starting 2nd November every Thursday evening at 6pm until the end of March.

For November only anyone wanting to learn can come along at 5.30 for free tuition.

The Glenorchy Battery Association AGM will be Held at 7.00 pm on Thursday the 28th of September at the Bold Peak Lodge in Glenorchy.

The Glenorchy Battery Association is a Sub. Committee of the Glenorchy Community Association and for several years has been working toward getting the Glenorchy Scheelite Battery back up and Operating.

Agenda :  Election of Officers 

            :  Discussion on Where We are at with the Re-In-statement of the Dam.

All New Members and those Interested are welcome to attend.

Thank You:

Paul Hansen

Secretary GBA

Dear all,

Here's a special request for those of you visiting and living in and around Glenorchy. As most of us know we have to share the roads in and out of town. If you find people, prams, bikes and horses on the road, please slow down and give them some room. It might say 100 km/ hour on the road signs, but that's just dangerous. Thanks in advance and happy sharing!

A big thank you from Enviro Glenorchy to all those who helped with the clean-up– surprisingly there wasn’t too much rubbish and we think that’s because there are a lot of good people in Glenorchy who are picking up rubbish on their regular walks!

So probably a big shout out to all of Glenorchy for taking such pride in our environment!

A huge thanks to the Glenorchy community for having the crew in your neighbourhood and your homes over the last couple of months.

Until next time… thank you!

Our Children's beginner Riding lessons have been such a hit that we will continue next term! We have had a fantastic response with 16 riders, even 2 kiddies coming all the way from Queenstown. Our riders are all growing in confidence and doing so well. With more daylight hours and hopefully a bit warmer weather we will be able to move more group lessons to after school with just a half day of lessons on Saturdays from Mid August.

If you are interested in signing up for our next 6 week block drop me an email info@glenorchypeaks.com 

To all horse riders in Glenorchy:

Regulations and safety requirements in NZ are changing on riding helmets.

A locally known, Dunedin based rider Desiree Bond, who has done a lot of research with riding helmets in the NZ market, would like to come up to Glenorchy around Queens Birthday weekend with a supply of helmets and offer fittings and choices to the Glenorchy riding community. 

She would just charge 10.00 to do a professional fitting (to help cover travel costs from Dunedin).

As there are quite a few children riding in the district and also adults, this could be a great opportunity to upgrade. 

“You can mend broken bones but you can’t unscramble brains!” 

Nothing is set in concrete as we need to see if there was enough support for Desiree to come.

Please let us know if you would be interested on vladka@truetravel.co.nz or info@high-country-horses.co.nz
