Global volunteer effort renovates kingdom hall
More than 150 volunteers came from as far as the United States to carry out renovations to Waimate's Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall recently. The $276,000 project took 13 weeks to complete. It included a new roof and a fresh coat of paint to both the exterior and interior. Inside, new air conditioning and sound systems were installed and more seating was added to bring the capacity of the hall up to 50 individuals. Volunteers came from throughout New Zealand with several members from Auckland and Rotorua down for the project. Some individuals also came from as far as Rarotonga and the US to lend a hand. Project manager Bryce Bines, who spends his time travelling around New Zealand helping with volunteer projects alongside his wife, Charlotte, said he was grateful for all the help. "We really appreciated the support from the local community and help from so many volunteers. "Being able to upgrade the hall was an absolute pleasure." The kingdom hall has been a local fixture in Waimate for over 50 years, originally opening in 1974. It is located in Leonard St, and is home to a small congregation of 24 members, hosting two weekly meetings, on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. The first meeting in the newly-refurbished kingdom hall was held on June 1. — APL

Hunting contest to support St John's

PHOTO: ODT FILES About 170 hunters from across New Zealand will gather in Cromwell for a hunting competition, with proceeds from entries going to thank Cromwell St John's for their hard work. Cromwell Hunting Competition organiser Joy Campbell said this was the first time she organised such a contest. "I got involved because my kids are into hunting and it's also a great way to raise money for the emergency services" Entries from the competition, as well as contributions from the Cromwell Town and Country Club and Coffee and Equipment Cromwell, would go towards a top-of-the-line coffee machine for Cromwell St John's after the hard few months the first responders had been through, she said. The organisation was close to her heart, as she was a volunteer for St John's herself. The competition would begin at 5am on Thursday with categories for adults, juniors 13-16 years old and 12 and under, she said. Adults could enter deer and pigs, as well other animals in the miscellaneous section. The top adult prize was $1000 from Flat Line Concrete for best pig jaw. The junior age bracket could also enter deer and pigs as well as goats, the top prizes being $500. The 12 and under bracket would be able to enter possums, rats, rabbits and hares for judging, with three prizes of $200 for the heaviest possum, rabbit or rat, she said. The hunt would end at the weigh-in which would begin at 12pm on Sunday, held at the Cromwell Town and Country Club. The weigh-in was expected to be a lively event, with a live band on hand to provide entertainment, Mr Whippy, a coffee cart and lots of prizes. One of the spot prizes available for the adults was a thermal monocular, she said.

60 years of masonic dedication
South Canterbury's oldest active Masonic Lodge member has been recognised for 60 years of service. Soon to be 97-year-old Owen Soal has become the second South Cantabrian to receive the honour after top lodge officials presented him with a service bar at a ceremony late last month. Mr Soal, a past master of the Caledonian Masonic Lodge, said his journey with Freemasonry began after an encounter while working as a traffic officer. "These chaps were out having a ball and they just overstepped it ... one thing led to another and we sort of got to know each other a wee bit better. We sort of seemed to click, and from there on we became quite good friends. "They never told me they were [lodge] members but nobody does, if you wish to join you're the one that's got to make the inquiry. I heard something being mentioned so I made a couple of inquiries and asked those two." Six months later he heard his name had been put forward and after being questioned along with his wife he ended up joining. "You wouldn't think it was 60 years ago. The time has just gone, I don't know many that have joined an organisation or a club and are still active after 60 years. "I did my first degree, that was the initiation, at the Caledonian Lodge, then I was farmed out to a country lodge at Pareora for my second degree and then did my third degree at Geraldine. "Over the years I've worked my way up through the various ranks. I've gone from nothing to a master, immediate past master and was also director of ceremonies for seven years." "Looking back, all I can say is, I don't think I would have got to here, in fact I'm sure of it, if I did not have the support of my wife and family," Mr Soal said. He was grateful to have had his tenure recognised. "My date was meant to be in July but they decided to bring my date forward for health reasons and the master's year finishes in June so he wanted to clean up a lot of things. "In doing such they held it at my home, I was absolutely blown away. The master was there and another chap [junior grand warden Paul Johnston] who represented the grand master of New Zealand, who happened to be away overseas. "He officiated the ceremony. At 50 years I was presented with a jewel and for my 60 years he attached a bar to it. I doubt if I'll see the 70th year." He said the camaraderie of the organisation was one of the biggest things that had attracted him to and kept him a member. "I'm very pleased I did go ahead and join, it's worldwide and anywhere you travel over the world, if you happen to have a lapel badge or something like that it's internationally recognised. "The only thing that I feel is really not right, is it's all for men. What about your wife? She's sitting at home, babysitting, night after night and you're out visiting, representing them. "I have raised this time and time again and it's starting to show a bit of progress." After a dip in membership over the years, Mr Soal said younger people were starting to join again. "I know in my initiation when I first joined, there was about 108 people, and when I went into the chair, there was 120 members in the temple. "Every organisation changes, some for the better, some for the worse. In our case our numbers have gone down a lot but I feel we are starting to climb up again. "It's a battle that I think applies to everyone, one year you've got a flood of people wanting to learn something and the next year you're struggling to try and find candidates." There was another important milestone, Mr Soal was hoping to tick off this year. "My wife turns 91 this month and I'll be 97 in July. "Our big hope is to celebrate our 70th wedding anniversary in November if this little old coot is still around. "But it's day by day, my wife supported me right through the years, I appreciate that and that's what I can do for her now."
