At Home: A Collaborative Art Exhibition
DONT MISS IT !!!! TOMORROW AND SUNDAY

Saturday 11th, 12th Sunday 9-5pm JANUARY 2025
Edisons in WhWhangamata CAT"At Home" exhibition will bring together three distinctive local artists, each showcasing their unique style while sharing a common thread — Whangamata, the coastal town they call home. Held at Edisons, Whangamata.

Lena captures the essence of the environment through her pinhole photography, blending artistry and technique to create evocative images that invite viewers into another
dimension
Dianna has a contemporary realist style. Her oil paintings convey domestic life in an original way. She draws inspiration from being a mother and everyday living. She captures these images and thoughts on canvas.

Heather adds a modern twist, using recycled metals as canvases, layering colours and textures to preserve the materials' history and create pieces that speak to the past.
She is a self -confessed hunter and collector and spends time salvaging scrap metal and wood. Her happy place! Some of her works are made to hang both inside and out.
Together, these artists offer a diverse and
inspiring visual journey, making "At Home" an exhibition not to be missed.

'Waihi Good Sort' takes football juniors to the Nix game !

Whangamata & Waihi News caught up with our first of a series of our " Waihi Good Sort " , the President of Waihi Association Football Club, Rich James, President for the last 5 years. He tells me the club just started with one Men's team and now they have two men's teams, a women's team and incredibly 60 kids aged between 4 and 14 years.

Rich told us how it came about to get the children on December 7th to the Auckland vs Phoenix game "Auckland AFC emailed out to all the clubs in the WAIBOP region, we saw an amazing opportunity and thought lets throw our name in the hat, we were seeking player escorts, so the children could stand next to the Phoenix players as they walk out at the start of the start of the match" , the age group was for girls and boys ages 8 to 10 years, and had to be under 140 cm high. The AFC provided 22 free tickets, which meant 11 children and a parent could go free ! Luckily we could give four extra siblings to view the game, with some parents who already bought tickets, how generous. And YES they got the dream !

Whangamatā News caught up with Noddy Watts and
Andrea Ross on the epic day we attended at the Waihi Dirt
Track last Saturday, 4 January. Noddy told us "We were
pleased with 12 new Dust Up cars making their debut which
shows there is strong interest in the event and we've heard
of a number more jalopies being built around the country.

This event is a favourite for our Whangamatā News
photographers, literally done and dusted with the vibe,
the noise and the speed of Pre 65 Cars, traditional Hot
Rods, vintage stock cars and midgets, bringing it back again
to the dirt track.
