Christine Prince Chief Executive Officer ABOUT THE AIR RESCUE TRUSTOur vision is that people across the vast and rugged Canterbury and West Coast regions can live their lives to the full assured that if they have a serious accident or medical emergency that the Air Rescue and Air Ambulance Service will be there day or night, free of charge to look after them and their families.
We are part of a charter called the Air Rescue Group (A.R.G.) which covers the whole of New Zealand which ensures a comprehensive life-saving service from Bluff to Cape Reinga. Together we work to embrace new technologies and advanced training methods as we strive to be one of the best Air Rescue Services in the world. The Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust has been funding the life-saving Air Rescue and Air Ambulance Service in Canterbury and the West Coast since 1989. In this time the Service has successfully undertaken over 10,000 rescue missions. This has been achieved in partnership with Garden City Helicopters who are the contracted operator of the Service. We work with a lot of dedicated people from the Ministry of Health, the District Health Board, ACC, Police, Fire, St John, Search and Rescue, Mines Rescue, and many more services.
The Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust and New Zealand Flying Doctor's Trust needs to raise $7 million each year to provide this Service. We fundraise through a variety of channels including trusts and foundation grants, community fundraising, events, business sponsorship, direct marketing, digital marketing, bequests, and more. Approximately 50% of what’s necessary to keep our Air Rescue Service operational every year comes from ACC, Ministry of Health and DHB payments. The rest of this significant cost is met by the goodwill and generosity of our community. The community are our main supporters. Individuals and businesses who support us are the ones who keep the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and New Zealand Flying Doctor's Service in the air. It is embedded as part of the Kiwi culture to help those in need and to support our local life-saving organisations. Our generous supporters see the inherent value of contributing to saving lives and doing their part to help the community. Their generosity enables the Canterbury Westpac Rescue Helicopter, West Coast NZCC Rescue Helicopter and Flying Doctor's to be available to anyone in Canterbury or in the West Coast if they need specialist care. |

Global geo-politics and the financial markets - the current state of play
May 25, 2018
andrew.ott@forsythbarr.co.nz
The state of global geopolitics is rapidly shifting - old alliances are strained to breaking point and nationalism is on the rise. Whether it's Brexit or America first, international terms of trade are being rewritten and the ripples are felt across the globe. Our own Andrew Ott is an expert on the financial markets and an Investment advisor for Forsyth Barr - Andrew cautions " New Zealand is not immune from what's happening overseas". This is a must hear talk.

Tackling the turtle threat - it's real.
Jun 22, 2018
donnamoot1@gmail.com
Donna usually has 80 to 90 turtles at home depending on her ability to rehouse the critters. Turtles live for 50 plus years and the problem is that as pets they tend to out live their owners. She's calling for a ban on turtle breeding for the pet industry in New Zealand - of particular concern the Red -eared Slider turtle. Donna's winter power bill gets up to a thousand dollars a month and she's paying that herself. Its the cost of caring for turtles and their welfare when others have lost interest. |

From the pigs mouth - author and retired police detective tells all.
Aug 10, 2018
Al LesterAl Lester was born in Nelson, the second youngest of four children. As a young man, he played rugby, golf, softball and basketball, all at representative level. He even clocked up 125 skydives before moving on to his adult life. After eight years in banking, Al jumped ship and, in 1985, joined the New Zealand Police. At a solid 6'4", perhaps he was better suited to the latter role. He was drawn to the investigation side of policing and spent 28 years working in the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) as a detective and detective sergeant. Al handed in his handcuffs at age 55, while still in possession of his sense of humour and most of his marbles. Al is also the author of nine books of hunting yarns and is still an avid hunter with a love of the mountains and a liking for a cold beer. He lives in Christchurch. |

Our trip included visiting London, Bruges(Belgium), Miltenberg (Germany), Chur (Switzerland),the Bernina Express over the real Alps, Lake Como and Milan (Italy) and included war rooms, code breaking, wizards, medieval towns, ferry boats across lakes and walking around the roof of a very high cathedral roof while being unhappy with heights. Also included nearly being arrested for problems with a tram ticket, nearly missing a train due to getting off at the wrong station and keeping cool with most days sunny and over 30 degrees. And buying a Homburg hat as worn by W Churchill of course. |
