Our chairman Graeme Lane was selected to receive one of this year’s Waimate District Civic Awards. The Waimate District Civic Awards 2016 were held at the council chambers, which saw four adult volunteers, one youth volunteer and a local group recognised and thanked for their community service. Graeme received the award for his many years supporting Waihao Marae and for being the president of both the Waimate Pony Club and Waimate March Hare motorbike rally. Our thanks go out to the Waimate kapa haka group who supported Graeme on this special occasion.

Graeme, whānau and invited guests.
