Welcome

I have been putting together this issue of the Chronicle while the rain has been beating down endlessly and my garden and the road has been filling up with water. Over 300mm fell on Castle Rock in a 24hr period, and that isn’t counting all the rain we have had leading up to this. As I write this editorial, roads are still closed around the peninsula, including Whangapoua hill with a large slip.

My thoughts go out to those who have been flooded or been stuck because of road closures.
With some events on the peninsula postponed due to weather it was good to see the the Barry Brickell Play with Clay Day was able to go ahead (see cover).

Hopefully we are over the worst of the rain and summer can now resume!
