I love it.

@Dark Beau can you pass onto Insider that my grandparents lived in Derby Street just down from Patterson Park and my mum was born and bred in Karamea.  Seems that @Comic Dog and @Pete Lane as moderators thought that post was worth a ban.

Yep.  Related to Bill Craddock who bred Durban Chief.  

My dad won the Westport Cup with a good horse.

LOL flew on a DC3 from Hokitika to Westport to see the Grandparents and used to walk across the road to watch the horses being trained.

Karamea the first place to grow Kiwifruit.

Used to stay at relatives place next to the Little Wanganui pub.

That's a bit strange that it was banned.

For the record I sold my first racebook on behalf of the local stationer [Parkhouse Bookshop?] at Paterson Park!

Born and lived in Queen Street.

I can boast or at least could say that I was born in a Workingmans Club as that is what the Maternity Hospital turned into.

Yes, warm and rain, but that's good. 

Noel Simpson, now that's a pioneer.
