We're on a countdown to welcoming the balmier summer weather - but for one Canterbury community, winter and all of its icy trappings can't come soon enough.
Staveley is home to one of the few natural ice skating locations left in New Zealand, and the community's been rallying to raise funds to bring back the ice rink's glory days.
The Staveley Hall Society started fundraising a year ago to raise an ambitious $1.14 million to future-proof the attraction.
