1:25 Historic Takaka Grandstand to be Demolished

Around this time last year we reported on efforts to save the historic Takaka grandstand. Well their bid to stop the council demolishing it have failed and it is due to be pulled own to make way for a new sports and recreation facility.

The barrel vaulted roofed stand was built in 1899 and is one of just two of its kind left in the country. The Golden Bay Grandstand Community Trust had sought an enforcement order in the Environment Court prohibiting the stand's removal, but it was declined.

Dick Lamb is one of the trust supporters.

Music Historian Graham Clark has just released a book on one of the unsung heroes of Kiwi music.  Waikato born Ritchie Pickett cut his teeth in 70's rock bands Graffiti and Think, toured the country with rock 'n' roller Tom Sharplin and became one of the stars of TV's "That's Country" in the 80s.  Best known as the front-man for Waikato band The Inlaws, Pickett was a prolific song writer and a master at the piano.  

Pickett died in 2011 at the age of 56, but his legend lives on in his music and this new book
