Rev Up event back
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the postponement of last year s Repco Rev Up event bringing dozens of flash classic cars and bikes to Whangārei. That didn t stop the organisers, the Whangārei Rod and Custom Club, making a sizeable donation to its chosen charity. The event is on again in April, and again, the chosen charity will be Whangārei s Kind Hands Respite Care Cottage. The cars and bikes will be on display at Repco Rev Up in Whangārei s Cameron St Mall on April 17. To register your vehicle or for more info go to www.
Julian spent two years doing the New Zealand Certificate in Cookery, levels 3 and 4 and New Zealand Diploma in Professional Cookery level 5, as well as an international City & Guilds qualification at the New Plymouth campus. When she finished the course in February 2020 it was too late to register for the ceremony, so Julian has had to wait until 2021 to walk across the stage. “I m nervous, but I’m really excited as well. Just thinking about it, I get quite emotional because especially during level 5, so much happened that year.”

WelTec cookery student, Jess Hoskins, has been placed third in the 7th annual Young Chef Olympiad 2021 (YCO) â a global culinary event.
Jess competed against students from 49 other countries, over six continents and 24 time zones, and was assessed by a panel of 30 esteemed chefs from around the world, including Michelin star chefs Chris Galvin and Brian Turner.
The international culinary competition is usually held in India, however, due to Covid-19 border closures, the competition had to change its format to be completely virtually run. This makes it the worldâs largest ever, virtual culinary competition.
The YCO is an international cooking competition, which brings together young promising future stars of the culinary community on a single platform where they can connect, share ideas and innovations, and compete in front of judges at the top of their game.

Al
van Zonneveld developed such a love of the gym that he
became a gym-owner himself – so his natural next step was
to get qualified in exercise through Skills
Active.
Al, pictured above left, has always been
sporty - but his passion for exercise grew after he had his
leg amputated in 2014 at the age of 47. He’d had surgery
for a club foot in his childhood, and by his 40s his
affected leg had developed severe arthritis. His healthcare
team suggested getting his foot fused, which he didn’t
