Steampunk originally referred to a subgenre of sci-fi/ fantasy writing in the
1980’s which used works of HG Wells, Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs as
inspiration for creating works of retro-futurism, in other words reimagining
the shape of our present and future is alternate technologies had been used eg,
Steampower or Tesla’s alternate power systems. The most common settings for
these are an alternate Victorian or Edwardian England, or a ‘Weird West’
version of the American frontier of the same era. Steampunk has grown into a
worldwide phenomenon, with regular conventions held and even Steampunk
amusement parks on France and Holland. Affictionados enjoy cosplay
(dressing to character and enacting scenarios), costuming , inventions,
weaponry and gadgets made with a retro aesthetic are taken quite seriously.
Look up Steampunk on the internet and you will find a huge range of art,
sculpture, music, books, performance art, costume ideas.. In New Zealand
Aethercon is the main covention held in Auckland and Oamaru, which is
currently main Steampunk capital in NZ. The Steampunk HQ is a fantastic
interactive museum, a tribute to the D.I.Y. nature of Steampunk.

Call to Local Performing Artists!
Coming back home to Thames has been an eye opener in terms of
where the arts are at and especially how they are received. No doubt
there is a huge amount of talented people here but I feel there are
two challenges that we artists face in terms of development and
sustainment. Firstly, what is there to help artists develop and stay
here in Thames? Secondly: The perception of the audience and
what they believe is good for Thames. Expression is one way
forward. We need to encourage people to write and perform their
music or their own stories and start challenging peoples perceptions
about what Thames (people in Thames) have to offer. Creating a
buzz and displaying confidence in what we have right here. We’re
often too blinded by amateur theatre and cover bands in this town.
And fooled by believing if a band or theatre show comes from out
of town they are better than the talent here, but also if they do come
to Thames, they can’t be that good. As Performing Artists we need
to challenge our audiences and give them something different. And
if audiences just got behind expression instead of sniggering at it, this
community could explode in terms of the arts. Thames people
block Thames expression. No-one else. Not Aucklanders, not
Australians, not the government. Thames as a whole. If you’re
riding on the status quo train it’s gonna be a long uneventful trip.
Stand up for your art and do it better than you think you can!
Everyone will benefit.

NEW SCHEME TO SAVE THE KOPU BRIDGE
A group of local horses have come up with a workable scheme to save
the old Kopu bridge. A spokeshorse for the group, GG Graham of
Grahamstown, said they wanted to see the $47M new Kopu bridge sold
off and the money used to repair the old bridge.
Graham said the new bridge was the work of Satan and should be
avoided at all costs. He predicted an influx of gold plated BMWs this
summer, adding "it will be the end of the Coromandel way of life as we
know it"
Two horses living in a field opposite the Kopu Station Hotel have already
moved out claiming the concrete motorway style bridge gave off a bad
vibe and had cast a blight on the whole area.
"We want our lovely old wooden bridge back" said one horse while
another said the quaint old swing bridge was a much nicer way to cross
the river. Clip-clopping across the bridge on a sunny day and stopping in
the passing bays to chat to friends was seen as an important part of the
Coromandel lifestyle by horses, "if we wanted to be run down by maniac
drivers or choked by car fumes we'd move to Auckland".
Graham added that he was very suspicious of claims that the old bridge
was unsafe and needed a lot of money spent on it. He said he had
contacted bridge builders from many different countries and no one had
ever heard of a bridge that had large trucks going over it quite safely one
minute and then only a nano-second later was in such a state of disrepair
that it was deemed unsafe to even look at it in case it fell down. He said
more likely than not it was just another case of philistines trying to steal
our heritage using scare tactics and neither him nor any other of the
horses would be fooled.
To prove a point Graham leapt over the barrier and galloped up and
down the bridge several times while neighing loudly - "rock solid".

For 22 years the Thames branch has organised the Fun Run. To
help raise funds and awareness for Save the Children and the work
it does worldwide. This year’s Fun Run, on November 16, starting
and finishing at the Thames Rugby and Sports Club will be in two
parts. The event started in the Kauaeranga Valley but two years
ago it was decided, for safety reasons, to use the waterfront
walkway. Last year it was on the Hauraki Rail Trail.At prize giving
participants were asked which course they preferred. The majority of
5km and 10km walkers and runners voted for the waterfront
walkway. The half marathon will once again be held on the Hauraki
Rail Trail.
Branch president and co-ordinator Lyn Hopkins said it should work
well as people will have more room and those pushing buggies with
appreciate being back on the concrete footpaths. “It’s a Fun Run
that anyone can enter. We really would like to see more families
involved in the 5km and 10km walks and runs and of course the
half marathon walk and run for the more serious competitors. I
would like to thank the business community once again for
their support.”
FUN RUN Entry forms are available at the
Save the Children store at 701a Pollen St

FOLLOWING ON from Community Meeting
th
on 15 OCT at the GBD, organized by T3 (Transition Towns
nd
th
Thames) & Karl Edmonds the was a 2 meeting on Tues 28
Oct where some Working Parties were formed.
Here’s a summary from Mark Skelding
Two clear directions came forward from the second meeting, at
GBD, on Tuesday28th Oct- one in regard the Calendar, and the
other in regard Town Co-ordination. Other comments included
a spontaneous recognition from one of the participants of how
wonderful the Grahamstown Gazette is as a local news vehicle.
(“Awww, Thankyou! – Ed) We are working hard to be able to
present some ideas on event co-ordination to the town
community by early December, in time to make more detailed
submissions to the Long Term Plan process. Equally, the
calendar was seen as a very useful, relatively easy target that
would have a good impact on building community conversation
and interagency creativity.
Calendar: The working party is looking at various options
for an online planning Calendar that will be accessible to all
event organizers. There is also a role that Social Media could
play. Also consideration given to best process to "cluster"
events to complement each other, rather than compete.
Town Co-ordination: Events organisers commonly
Chequers Courtyard Café
710 Pollen St, Grahamstown
complain about lack of personnel, skills and resource. The
working party in this area will be looking at what existing
structures could be utilized and built on to provide better support
and coordination for Town Events.
The research will be asked for in time to bring a suggestion to
an early December meeting of the Business Breakfast group,
and the Grahamstown Business Association. The objective
would be to have a more considered proposal in the Long Term
Plan by mid-December
Events:
:Noted that the Calendar can start a ball rolling,
and that the co-ordination will begin to build a base - even
before or if a person is appointed - from which ideas can be
developed. Therefore these were seen as less priority, but
some exciting possiblities are in the offing.

barrelled one! E.g Lady Fuschia Double-­‐Barrel or Professor Gray Flak-­‐Jacket…have fun! For Costuming and gadgets, think Retro-­‐Futuristic. When in doubt spraypaint ANY item in Copper or Brass finish, and dress in Sepia Tones. Boots (almost any kind) are a good choice, and Hats or some sort of Headgear/ Mask are almost obligatory. Long Coats/ Capes or Jackets with lots of pockets or Military styling can be a Winner. Don’t neglect Gloves/ Corsetry or Gadgets!

rues his lack of lighter fluid’
Home Grown Baccy, Cut in Strips
When I consider how my light is spent,
Pondering smoke, and where it went –
Through the steam-punk filter at my side.
No lighter fluid, I nearly cried.
Kauaeranga Valley, where gadgets reign,
Pistons drop, rise up again.
With pulleys, levers, steam and drips,
Our home grown baccy’s cut in strips.
No lighter fluid, aye, there’s the rub,
Small solace in my steam-punk tub.
Doth God demand his tucker light denied?
Perchance some loaves and fishes, lightly
fried?
Waiter! Steam-punk fries upon a plate!
They also serve who only stand and wait.
Mix warm water and honey till dissolved then
sprinkle yeast over the top, stand for 5-10 mins
Mix flour and salt, add seeds if using.
Stir yeast mixture into flour, mix well until dough
comes away from sides of bowl, add more water if
needed
Put dough into greased loaf tin cover with gladwrap
and leave to rise in a warm place, about an hour.
Bake in preheated oven 220 for 10 mins then lower
to 200 for 50 mins. Knock on the loaf to test, if
it sounds hollow it is cooked. Delicious hot or cold!
