Boxing
Whanganui heavyweight boxers Sale Oldehaver and Brendon Lawrence were victorious in this month’s Iron Fist event at the South Waikato Events Centre in Tokoroa.
Oldehaver defeated Tristan Ellison in the main event to keep a perfect record as a professional while Lawrence, the director of Gemini Pepper Construction, beat Benjamin Leonard in a corporate bout.
Both fighters are trained at the River City Boxing Club by former amateur boxing star Egelani Taito.
Art in the Garden
Whanganui Potters Studio’s annual Art in the Garden event is on this weekend. Along with a variety of art for sale, club members will demonstrate pottery techniques such as wheel-throwing and slab-building.
As a fundraiser for the studio, there will be raku firing, with the public able to purchase and glaze a piece of pottery.
There is still an opportunity to join the exhibition but there is limited space for non-weatherproof art, which is decided on a first come, first served basis. For more information, email viawhanganuipotters@gmail.com. The event is on December 2 and 3 at 38 Pauls Rd.
