Sir Paul Holmes' leaves Mana Estate for final time
Sir Paul Holmes has left his Hawke's Bay home in a moving ceremony, with a convoy of about seven cars now taking him to Auckland. Before the convoy left Mana Estate near Hastings, Sir Paul's brother Ken came out to speak to media with Millie and Reuben Holmes and Lady Deborah. They returned up driveway in a car and then came back down trailing the hearse with other family members. Reuban and Millie were visibly upset, as Ngati Kahungungu performed a haka while the hearse progressed slowly along the driveway. Photos: Paul Taylor
Hundreds of supporters from around Tamatea Central Hawke’s Bay turned out on Saturday to support Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti 2024, as thousands headed towards Parliament to express their opposition to Act’s Treaty Principles Bill.
A fine and sunny day drew a large crowd to the CHB A&P Show last weekend, to take in the trade and retail stands, entertainment, inaugural Trash to Fashion competition, equestrian and rural events.
The CHB Mail was there to take in the atmosphere...and take photos.
Pahīatua welcomed the Polish children and their families back to the town, 80 years after they first came to stay at the camp, just 2km from the township.
There were stalls, vintage car displays and good old-fashioned games on the Museum Reserve at last weekend's Ongaonga Bazaar - part of Central Hawke's Bay's Spring Fling events.
Free access to the museum and Coles Factory was a big drawcard on the day, which included a pop-up art gallery, a British and European car display, live music and a funky train-ride for this children.
All profits from the day will go towards the ongoing maintenance of the Ongaonga Museum and historic Coles Factory.
The CHB Mail was there to capture the action.
