MOLESWORTH – THE HEARTBEAT OF THE HIGH COUNTRY

My very good friend Vicky Simpson is producing a book about Molesworth Station. This will be a beautiful coffee table book featuring many of Vicky's photographs over the past 20 years. It will include stories from interviews of those who have managed or worked at Molesworth. All funds raised from the production of this book are going to Brain Tumour Support Trust for KIDZ. To produce 500 copies of this book Vicky needs $30,000 to ensure all proceeds go to this very worthwhile cause.

Sponsorship options include:
Gold sponsors $1,000 or more Logo & name
Silver sponsors $500 to $999 Name
Bronze sponsors $499 or less Name

All sponsors will be acknowledged at the back of the book. The deadline for getting names and logos on the sponsorship page is today! Payment for sponsorship is not required until May. Any support would be much appreciated.

A little bit of background about Vicky ....I went to school with Vicky at Pleasant Point in South Canterbury. She is an amazing woman who has given so much to charity over the years. She has raised in the past around $200,000 for Child Cancer by selling calendars, which have included many of her beautiful photos. Check out Vicky's website for samples of her photography including those taken at Molesworth over the years

Please let me know if you are able to support Vicky's fundraising efforts by sponsoring the production of her book. Thank you so much for your consideration.

If anyone wishes to sponsor or donate some dollars, there is a bank account in my name Michelle Ward (nee Paul) but tagged exclusively for the Molesworth Book. Invoices/receipts can be issued if needed. The bank account number is 06 0889 0192640 33.

Good luck to all rowers next week. May the lake be calm, the sun ☀️shining, the competitive sportsperson spirit prevail and you all enjoy participating in such a prestigious event.

Plenty on in and around Twizel over the next few weeks & months. Get along & support some of these events. It takes a lot of hard work by mostly volunteers to make these things happen.

We've teamed up with some creative locals to create a mosaic critter trail in the Market Place. Download this map and see if you can find all 20 creatures native to Te Manahuna!

Wow! Check out first prize in this raffle for the High Country Medical Trust who along with High Country Health operate the Twizel Medical Centre. All proceeds from the lottery are going towards a garage for the PRIME vehicles. For a mere $50 you could win a brand new Toyota Hilux, providing I don't win it! Great vehicle to explore the Mackenzie & Upper Waitaki, plus other remote areas of NZ

As you will have seen, currently our Primary Response in Medical Emergency (PRIME) vehicles sit outside in our extreme weather conditions. In winter this means that the vehicles are regularly coated in ice/snow, taking several valuable minutes to clear before our emergency personnel can depart on a callout.

So, to ensure we can respond quickly, the High Country Medical Trust along with High Country Health which operates the Twizel Medical Centre are running a ‘Toyota Hilux Ute Lottery’, first prize is a 2026 Toyota Hilux valued at $63,000, 2nd cash prize of $3,000 and 3rd cash prize of $2,000.

All the proceeds will go towards the build of a double garage to house our PRIME vehicles & associated medical equipment.

The lottery closes, 8th April. Winner will be drawn 9th April 2026

To enter the draw visit: https://lottery.twizelmed.co.nz

For further updates and to find out who the winners are please follow High Country Medical Trust

All communications will be directed through the High Country Medical Trust page, any questions please email [email protected]
