To vote for us all you need to do is buy something from Z Mosgiel during May. You’ll be given an orange token to put in to the voting box. We’re also in for a share of an extra $250,000 Z is offering to help supercharge 2015 for up to 22 groups. Customers and local Z staff will be part of choosing the groups — go to z.co.nz/supercharger to find out how it works! So please head down to Z Mosgiel during May and vote for us!  On Wednesday 8th April, two kayakers set off from Waihola to kayak to Taieri Mouth. Once reaching Taieri Mouth, they made the decision to carry on over the notorious bar to play in the surf. Little did they know they would soon be spending over 2 hours in the freezing cold water while members of Dunedin Marine Search and Rescue, conducted a full scale search for them. The Otago Rescue Helicopter was called upon and on board, two of our own water rescue squad members. Once located, the two kayakers were winched to safety and transferred to hospital. You can read the article in the Otago Daily Times here And a follow up story from the wife of one of the kayakers Dunedin MSAR loves a good news story, especially when our volunteers can play a part in returning loved ones to their family. Great job by all involved! |
