	Blenheim Rowing Club—History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The first shed was a single bay structure built on the banks of the Opawa river where a later shed is still owned by the Marlborough Repertory Society.
		In 1890 this was doubled in size and the twin bay sheds stood on the site until 1926 when it was replaced with the boathouse that was used until it was sold in 1970 as the river was no longer fit for training.
		It is noted in the club history that in 1959 the "branch shed at Watsons" was no longer suitable for training on the Wairau, so I can only assume that some training had been done on the wairau for several years prior to this date.

	Heathcote River plan - City Scene - March 2005
		Once this has been done, the Council will be able to produce a long-term plan for the river, including how it will be landscaped, what trees should be planted and what changes should be made to meet future demands.
		Because the Heathcote is so long, this year's consultation will focus on the stretch of river from Colombo St to Hansen Park.
		People will be able to have their say about the vision from Monday, 14 March, until Friday, 22 April, through a series of public meetings, by making an on-line submission on the Council's website at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay or by sending in the submission form available from Council service centres and libraries.
