Whanganui resident Ruth Tidemann has asked Horizons Regional Council to stop giving Whanganui District Council consent to groom Castlecliff Beach every summer. Tidemann is a member of Castlecliff Coast Care and a Te Pūwaha consultation group for the Whanganui port development, and instigated Castlecliff Kōrero in 2018. She presented her submission on Horizons long-term plan to regional councillors in the Whanganui War Memorial Centre on Tuesday.
Spectacular launch for La Fiesta number 12

La Fiesta number 12 launched in spectacular fashion on Saturday with two very different events, both equally captivating.
Ruth Tidemann facilitated a first-time workshop in Whanganui encouraging women to take charge of your life which was well received by the very happy participants.
Our official launch event later that afternoon, Woven, a concert for piano and flute performed by Ingrid Culliford and Lisa Boessenkool in the grand hall that is Big School at Whanganui Collegiate, was spellbinding stuff.
A diverse programme of music by women composers was compelling, taking the audience through time, culture, and space in true classical style. A concert which could take its place on any stage in the world performed by accomplished playing and informative chatter between the pieces which sets the scene and encourages accessibility for those less familiar with classical music etiquette.
