Times features Raglan identities

It seems this week is one for the Waikato Times to feature Raglan identities.

On Monday the Hart family was covered along with the Raglan Sport Fishing Club. On Tuesday it was the turn of Aeronavics Ltd and the company’s directors Linda Bulk and Rob Brouwer.

The article by Elton Smallman on the Hart family covered John and Sheryl Hart passion for fishing and how they set up the Raglan Sport Fishing  Club in the year 2000. It covers the great community work the Club has done improving the Te Kopua launching ramp and establishing the Manu Bay launching ramp.

Aeronavics are the Raglan company that makes the remote-controlled droids now used by film makers for eye in the sky work. In the article Narelle Henson says that Droids are tipped to change the world in the same way computers did as when a camera is attached to them, you can inspect bridges, powerlines, or disaster-damaged buildings without risk to life, get sweeping aerial shots impossible to achieve with a helicopter, check every animal and paddock in a hill country farm in an hour, and have the images live-streamed to your computer. The Times article covers how Linda and Rob first saw the technology and realised its potential, went through a series of developments before moving to Raglan for life style reasons. 

I wonder what the rest of the week will hold?
