A Mustang owners history lesson 101:
The first Sefton Hotel opened in early 1877. The hotel was part of the Fletcher Humphreys stable of hotels throughout Canterbury when it was rebuilt in late 1902 as a condition of its license being renewed. In February 1903 the license was transferred from Henry Brooks to Horace Thompson, the former having been fined for supplying alcohol to a child. By the mid-1920s the hotel was known as the Anglers’ Arms Hotel; although that name was changed back to the Sefton Hotel in 1929. The hotel, now known as the Anglers’ Arms Tavern, changed hands regularly through the 20th century and is still being operated as a hotel today.
Midweek Run to Sefton 18th September 2024
Inspired by new club members Grant & Marg Matheson to visit their local watering hole the Anglers Arms in Sefton. Meeting on the west side of Rangiora 15 cars assembled 29 humans including 4 committee members club secretary Brian, club captain Dennis, IT expert Sam and Lady member Maria.
We headed of to Oxford cruising along at just under the speed limit making a right hand turn at the G A S fuel station then on to the Ashley Gorge, through Okuku then a left into Amberley Sefton road.
Arriving at the Anglers Arms we were made very welcome with members rearranging tables to suite, drinks flowing and food ordered we settled in for a great lunch.
A big thank you to all who came it was a great catch up.
