A Year in Pictures for 2012

Yesterday afternoon saw about 20 keen or curious cyclists try their skills at velocross at Wanganui's Cooks Gardens velodrome. They discovered that velocross was a mixture of track cycling and BMX, with all the challenges of speed, jumping and manoeuvring around obstacles. The course was a mixture of racing around the velodrome on the boards and navigating obstacles in the centre, with an optional jump. Full story on page 35. Wanganui Chronicle photographer Bevan Conley took these photographs.

A week of fine, sunny weather made for lots of outdoor activity in and around Wanganui at the weekend. Bason Botanic Gardens was busy yesterday, with barbecues for Conservation Department and Red Cross volunteers, and a Christmas party for the hospital's theatre staff and their children. There were people walking, people lying in the sun, several games of cricket, a hula hoop contest and a sack race for children. Wanganui Chronicle photographer Bevan Conley roamed around, looking for pictures.
