The Inglewood
Development Trust
Inglewood ‘Rag’ Revived by The Inglewood Development Trust
What's in a name?
In response to the perceived need for Inglewood to have its own local „rag‟ The Inglewood Development Trust has purchased a printer and will publish Inglewood's local paper fortnightly. The paper will be produced and printed at the Inglewood
Information Centre in the Fun Ho! National Toy Museum.
The value of a local newspaper lies in its ability to reflect its local community as the articles and news that make up its content will rarely make the pages of larger
publications.
Local people and visitors to our district have a insatiable demand for local stories and news about our people, businesses and history and for the most part a local „rag‟ is
the only way this demand can be met.
The Inglewood District has been fortunate to have had a news paper in one form or another since the town was founded, but the economics of the local ‟rag‟ have always been unsafe as proved time and again. As the production of a local newspaper appears more for the communities benefit than for any personal gain, The Inglewood Development Trust (A Charitable Trust) believed it would be best placed to provide
this service.
We are looking for a name for our publication and we want your help.
Please bring your suggestions to us at the Inglewood Information Centre or email us

Editor’s Comments
This publication is not assembled by professional journalists or graphic designers so we will rely heavily on local people, clubs and groups telling us what is happening and when it is
happening.
We will appreciate photos and notes of events both regular and special. It would great if they can be emailed to us at [email protected], dropped off at the front desk at Fun Ho! Toys/Inglewood Information Centre or
phoned in to 7567030.
The office is open 7 days 10.00 am to
4.00 pm.
If you let us know we can let the rest
of the Inglewood community know.
This is your paper so lets fill it with
your news.
Advertising is at very reasonable rates and we will be eternally grateful for the
ads to be print ready.
The „rag‟ will be published every
second Wednesday.

Shade-by the River
It‟s back to the keyboard for my first „Shade‟ for the new Inglewood paper. This will be the fourth Inglewood publication that I have written this column for, and I thank all those that have enjoyed reading my words and encouraging me to carry on trying to amuse you all and to make you think a little. What‟s going on in the world that
deserves my comment?
In a few weeks we will be banned from using our mobile phones while driving. I can well see the dangers of „texting‟ while at the wheel but talking on the phone only takes one hand at the most and I don‟t need to take my eyes off the road at all. I have voice activated dialing if I want to call home; I don‟t have to look to answer an incoming call. What about all the other things that a driver is still allowed to do. Drivers can still smoke. It‟s not so easy to get a cigarette out with one hand and light it as well, all without taking your eye off the road. What about motoring mums keeping an eye on the crying baby strapped in its seat in the back? That‟s much more distracting than me talking to the wife and ordering my cup of tea when I am
nearly home.
Makes you think doesn‟t it!

A record crowd attended this months „Business After 5‟ to welcome the new Inglewood Travel Centre to town. All were pleasantly impressed by the spacious office area Faye, Tom, Wendy and Daryl have to work in. Faye Phillips gave a comprehensive overview of
what the travel centre has to offer.
There was a good smattering of new faces to enjoy the refreshments and nibbles, these gatherings are a must for
any business or group.
Welcome to Inglewood Faye and your
team.
The Inglewood Lions Christmas Parade will be held on 12 December in conjunction with an Axemans Chopping Carnival.

Since the start of the Lions year in July
we have been busy.
The fertilizer drive and delivery were followed up by the Lilly bulbs which were delivered when they arrived from
Rakaia
The Inglewood Lions were awarded the contract to deliver the Taranaki phone books in the area from Norfolk Road to Burgess Park and from North Egmont to the Tarata Saddle and we only had 10 days to complete t h e j ob . M a n y footsteps and many
kilometres.
Current ly we are dis tributing containers around the area for the collection of the tear-off tabs from aluminium cans and also wine bottle caps, hopefully all Primary Schools will act as collection points. The proceeds from this aluminium will offer support
for children undergoing kidney dialysis.
Coming Events in the pipeline are the Christmas parade and the Maize Maze
so watch this space

Everything can be filed
under "miscellaneous."
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would
get done.
When the bosses talk a b ou t im p rov i n g productivity, they are never talking about
themselves.
It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're
going to do.

Railway Station Attains Category One
The Historic Places Trust has assessed and accepted the Inglewood Railway Station which has now been registered
as a Category 1 Historic place, the highest rating possible. The 133-year-old station, the oldest still on its original site in New Zealand, has been the subject of an ongoing battle over maintenance since 1993, with plans to develop the station and surrounding area into a village green still in limbo as the station and 1.2ha of surrounding property is land-banked by the Office
of Treaty Settlements.
Construction of the railway from New Plymouth through the dense bush was undertaken by new immigrants of Polish, German, Dutch, Swiss and British descent who did the work and resided in or around Inglewood. In preparation for the arrival of the railway a „Class 5‟ station was built in 1876. By the mid 1990s Inglewood Railway Station had closed and the yard had been almost completely
cleared. Because the land was surplus it was land banked during this period as part of the Waitangi Tribunal settlement process. The station fell into disrepair due to the building‟s lack of use and
maintenance and for years the condition of the station building had been a source of embarrassment, especially because of the prominent position it has in Inglewood. Marie Pearce lead the community in the upgrading of the exterior cladding and painting. All of the materials, and a majority of the labour required to do this were donated. Since the completion of the exterior repair work the station is now a source of community pride, with the registration as a Category 1 a further step towards the ultimate goal of long term security
for the station and the „Village Green‟.
Some notable dates: 1876 Station built, 1877 Goods and engine sheds built, 1891 Station extended, 1896 Verandah/platform canopy built, 1902 Stock yards built, 1904 Platform extended, 1920s Goods shed extended, 1966 Fire in office area, 1975 Stock yards removed, 1977 Goods and engine sheds demolished, 1990 Station yard sheds and crossing loop removed, 1993
Station closed.

occasion was?
Inglewood Quilters Exhibition in the Fritz Reuter Gallery
The Inglewood Quilters Exhibition is on in the Fritz Reuter Gallery until Sunday 18 October. The Inglewood Quilters Club is the oldest in Taranaki being founded 25 years ago, Margaret Matthews said membership now stands at a healthy 36 members. Quilting is now an Art/Craft rather than a necessity with quilts more likely to be found hanging on a wall than lying on a bed. Quilting can be done by hand or machine and can be purely functional or decorative and elaborate. Quilting is done on bed spreads, art quilt wall hangings, clothing, and a variety of textile products. If you want to see even a larger selection of quilts make sure you check out the Festival of Quilts, „A Riot of Colour‟ on Labour weekend 24 – 26 October at Spotswood College Hall – Sat-Sun 10 –
5pm, Mon – 10 – 3pm.
