The 78th Kaikoura Three Day Trial was held on the traditional date in June, now named King’s Birthday Weekend. 76 solo entrants and 7 sidecars tackled the sections at a different property each day.
The first day was at Birches Road, Oaro, in fine weather with no frost. 3 laps of 12 sections, with no deep mud this year, and just a couple of sections in my grade that I couldn’t clean. Day 2 was held at Dairy Flat off the Inland Kaikoura Road, with fine weather and again no frost. A longer loop today with 4 laps of 10 sections. Only one tricky section in my grade, so points were low.
Sunday night saw us congregate at the Whaler Hotel for a meal and presentation to David Chambers who was riding at his 50th Kaikoura event. A great achievement and no doubt he will notch up a few more.
Overnight some periods of heavy rain could be heard on the roof of our accommodation, however this reduced to just some occasional light rain showers once we got to the venue. Half a dozen sections in the creek, with 3 laps of 12 sections in total. Some higher scores on this last day, but easier sections in our grade this year compared to previous.
Then to prize giving before disbursing for home. The event is supported by riders throughout New Zealand with a large number travelling from the North Island as well as regular competitors from across the full length of the South Island. A notable point is the number of families taking part with two and even three generations competing at the event. The large field of 10 Junior riders completed the same sections and loops as senior riders on all days. Seeing this number of Juniors completing the weekend, and their riding skills is great for the future of the sport.
The placings for each class are on the Pioneer Website. Stand out rides were Finn Pearce riding the red line and looking great on the bike. Each time I see him his riding has improved and he must surely be a future champion. A great ride also by Stuart Lawton on a 70’s Twin Shock TY taking first in Twin Shock, but also first in Intermediate. The Sidecar classes also saw some new pairings and new outfits this year. Stand out ride must be John Lawton who, with Conner Newton in the chair both had large smiles all weekend.

Coles Track on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia was expanded to service a telephone wire to the Fort as part of Melbourne’s defence system during World War II. A number of German and Japanese destroyers, submarines, and other military craft, operated in Australian waters between 1940 and 1945, threatening the shipping industry and the war effort.
Tunnelled into the hillside, Fort Pearce was established in 1911. The gun pits for the Mk VII guns were built in 1911. The munitions magazine is between the pits.

This print was given to my father, the Reverend Douglas Freeman, during his time as vicar of St. Ives Parish Church. The print is in its original frame.
The original work that this print is taken from was hand-drawn by Bryan Pearce onto grained film which was then transposed to aluminium plate and printed by off-set lithography by the Curwen Studio Press.
Each print was blind embossed by hand to create an effective border for the work, and was signed and dated by the artist. As well as the number of impressions printed, indicated to be just 30 for this print, there were seven artist's proofs plus two printer's proofs and one archive proof.
The plate used to print the edition was then destroyed.
Bryan Pearce was born in St Ives, Cornwall in 1929, a sufferer of the then unknown condition Phenylketonuria, which affects the normal development of the brain. Encouraged by his mother who was herself a painter, and then by other St Ives artists, he began drawing and painting in watercolours in 1953.
From 1953 to 1957 he attended St Ives School of Painting under Leonard Fuller. In 1957 Pearce began painting in oils and started to exhibit regularly at the Penwith Gallery in St Ives. He became an Associate of the Penwith Society of Arts in Cornwall, and later a full member, having been sponsored by the sculptor Denis Mitchell. He was also a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists; it was at the instigation of Peter Lanyon that he had his first solo show at Newlyn Gallery in 1959.
Now one of the country's foremost naive painters, Pearce was well know for portraying the local St Ives landscape and still-life compositions in oil, conte, pen and ink, and pencil. In the early 1970s Pearce began to make small etchings with the assistance of fellow artists Breon O'Casey and Bryan Ingham, and later Roy Walker. Since 1976 a number of his oil paintings have been made into limited edition screenprints in order to bring his distinctive images to a wider public.
He always worked slowly, but consistently, producing perhaps twelve oil paintings a year. Often compared to Alfred Wallis, the late Peter Lanyon said of him: "Because his sources were not seen with a passive eye, but were truly happenings, his painting are original."
Over 40 years Bryan Pearce exhibited throughout the country, including the New Art Centre, Victor Waddington Gallery and Stoppenbach & Delestre in London; Beaux Arts in Bath and the Oxford Museum of Modern Art. In St Ives he showed at the Sail Loft Gallery, Wills Lane Gallery and the New Craftsman. Public Collections include: the Tate Gallery, the Arts Council, the Contemporary Arts Society and Kettle's Yard, Cambridge.

John Pearce lived in this house as he had a sawmill he ran on the same 200 acre property. John and his family operated the sawmill, and therefore used the “odd cut” lumber for their own homes, so they must have decided not to waste material, which probably could not be easily sold.
Queens Birthday Weekend saw Pioneer Motorcycle Club run the 76th edition of the Kaikoura 3 Day trial. The Club was rewarded with a large entry of 93 riders from across New Zealand including 5 Sidechairs, 9 Twin Shocks, 9 Women, and 8 Junior riders. Day 1 was at Birches Road south of Kaikoura featuring creek sections, grassy sections and mud. Considering it is June the weather was warm with no frost. A frost did greet us for Day 2 at Dairy Flat reached after travelling a short distance along the Inland Road. Easier sections on the second day combined with a longer loop saw many happy faces. Day 3 was again fine with no frost for the last day at Mt Fyffe. For the upper grades the creek sections were the most challenging day. It was great to have three fine and warm days for Kaikoura after having some rain on the last day last year. Prize giving was held at the Whaler in Kaikoura before everyone departed for home. Overall winner of Expert was Jason Baker with a well deserved win. Thanks to everyone who travelled to the event. The Club has had some great feedback, and looks forward to hosting you all again next year. Enjoy Lynette's photos.
