#Southeastern Network Weekend offers 10,000 Advance tickets for just £5 for travel on 5 and 6 April, coinciding with #Kent Big Weekend, where local attractions provide free tickets to residents. Available exclusively via the Southeastern website and app from 22 to 28 March, this initiative, inspired by Network SouthEast's popular offers in the 80s and 90s, celebrates 200 years of the #railway and promotes sustainable travel, allowing customers to explore Kent’s attractions without driving. The network connects towns like #Canterbury and #Ashford, as well as scenic spots such as #Margate and #Hastings. Steve White, Managing Director at Southeastern, emphasised the opportunity for affordable exploration, while Deirdre Wells OBE, CEO of Visit Kent, praised the partnership for its value and sustainability. Customers needing assistance can contact Southeastern Customer Services, with terms and conditions applying to the tickets, valid on selected routes.

_The Evening Post_, 26 February 1925:
WOMEN IN
PRINT.
Mention is made in the Southern papers of the death of Mrs. J. H. #Davison, of St. Leonard’s, #Culverden, a very well-known and highly respected old resident of North #Canterbury. The late Mrs. Davison was a daughter of the late Mr. George Andrew Oliver, of Hawkes Bay, and was born in 1857. Her marriage took place in 1881, when she took up her residence at St. Leonard’s, and has remained ever since. Mrs. Davison leaves a great many attached friends both in the #Amuri and in other parts of the Dominion. During the war her activities were unceasing, and the death of one of her sons (Mr. F. Davison), who was killed in action, was a blow from which she really never recovered. Mrs. Davison is survived by her husband (Mr. J. H. Davison), who has been in the district for over sixty years, and has held a number of public positions. There are three surviving sons, Messrs. E. B. Davison, L. H. Davison, and J. W. Davison, all of Amuri; also four daughters, Mesdames E. F. W. Lascelles (who is residing in India), H. G. Martin, A. Cole, and Miss E. H. Davison.

_The Evening Post_, 20 February 1925:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
The #Waimakariri River rose rapidly on Wednesday under the influence of the nor’-wester, and marooned three men, who were employed by the Waimakariri River Trust, on a small island above White’s Bridge. With the water still rising about the island, the men’s position became very precarious. At about 2 p.m. Constable Holmes, of Kaiapoi, received a telephone message that the men were in difficulties, and, procuring ropes, he and Constable Warren set off to rescue them. In the meantime, however, Messrs. Cusack and Gough had obtained a punt, and, at considerable risk, had launched it in the swirling river, a considerable distance up the stream from the island. They managed to guide the boat to the island as it was carried downstream, and the five men embarked in it again. They had a most adventurous passage, but they all landed safely on the bank. Three draught #horses, the property of Mr. C. Bell, were being worked on the island to clear away willows, and these were liberated before the men left the island. When the flood rose over the island, the horses were washed off and swept ashore about a mile further downstream, near the railway bridge.
