Tanya’s market needs our help to deliver the goods
Most fine Sunday mornings you will find our club member Tanya at the Woolston Market selling an array of goods to raise funds for Rotary and other organisations.
The money Tanya raises enables Ferrymead Rotary to provide much needed support for our community, our young people and our environment- all causes we are passionate about.

A quartet of Ferrymead Rotary knitters has been bringing music to the ears of nurses and mothers at Christchurch Women’s Hospital. The foursome has knitted well over half a century of woolly hats for babies born at the hospital over the last 12 months
They have been donating knitted garments to newborns for several years, but have intensified their efforts after a call for help from the hospital. All babies born at the hospital are given a woollen hat at birth, while woollen singlets, matinee jackets and booties are available for mothers take home.
The Ferrymead knitters have been involved for some time, but this year decided to concentrate on hats. They have produced a variety of sizes and colours. Pat Edward heads the count, with the bulk of the balance shared between Debbie Woolf, Kathryn Tovgaard and Barbara Crooks (plus a little bit of help from a friend or two).
The Rotary club has funded some the wool, but all of the knitters’ time is given voluntarily. They estimate up to seven hours goes into making each hat.
Most of the knitting has been done individually, although the four have got together from time to time to share wool and swap notes.
Ferrymead Rotary is also working on making singlets and booties for Plunket and supplying the Methodist Mission with bedding, jerseys, hats, scarves, gloves and shoes. The Mission gives these items, donated or sourced by Rotary members, to homeless people.
Samantha Dryden and Niels de Beer were presented with Young Totara Awards by Ferrymead Rotary in recognition of their work in the community.
Samantha is an avid conservationist with special interest in ecology and climate change.
She lives in Halswell but regularly volunteers at Charlesworth Reserve, Ferrymead often travelling by bus.
She loves the work and does anything that is needed… weeding, planting, pruning, digging holes.
She says she enjoys the company of like-minded people, no matter age, and the opportunities to learn.
Niels, who has been involved with the Taylors Mistake Surf Lifesaving Club for 10 years has recently become a member of the Sumner Coastguard team. He has learnt skills in first aid, team building and leadership. Niels and his family joined the club after emigrating from the Netherlands.
