Our speaker on 10th February was DCC councillor and former dairy farmer Mike Lord. He said that farmers felt ‘frustrated’ with many rules and regulations rather than ‘angry’. He gave as an example the one rule for the whole of the country which specified the date for sowing crops and pasture, when conditions vary from north to south and coast to inland. Also it had been promoted that any ground sloping more than 10 degrees had to get a permit to be cultivated. Due to increasing land amalgamation into larger farm units there is now less contact between town and country than previously. He said that farmers sensed a feeling of unfairness in the implementation of rules affecting them as compared to the lack of implementation on urban organisations. He indicated that suicide was a much bigger problem in rural people because of pressures, and that it was not commonly made public.
CoVid Cancellations
Because of the difficulties of working within the "Red" limits and restrictions, the following events/activities have been cancelled:
1. Central Otago wine trail
2. Relay For Life (but watch for a replacement "Relay Your Wayl" event in support of the Cancer Society)
Individual members are welcome to register their own fundraiser, but as a Club we will be holding a special collection at our meeting on 3rd March - please be prepared to be generous!!
The $11 million private development built on the site of the former High Street Primary School is home to 47 residents from pre-school age to their 80s.
The residents occupy 24 units built to an energy-efficient passive-house standard.
