This is a bit sad & glad.

I hope he won't mind my singing his praises, nor sparing his blushes.

You may have noticed that Catchafire hasn't been around too much of late & he has now decided to hand in his spam toaster and moderator cloak.

Catcha is such a great ambassador for a new New Zealand life. He and his family came with nowt and have slowly built on that to make a quality NZ life for themselves using their own hard work and innovation . I think it's just ace & so inspiring .

Sadly for BE , this now means he hasn't really the time to spend reading posts on here , chasing spam , trolls and the like.

This is a good thing to happen though so it makes me glad in a way, as it means he's too busy with his business which is all to the good for his family.

Can you please join me in a heartfelt thank you to Catcha for the time and effort he put into this teeny NZ forum.

I will miss him as a mod about the place .

Don't be a stranger Catcha and I hope this year's grape harvest is a great vIntage for EUREKA WINES

I was wondering where Catcha had gotten to! I guessed that he would be having too much fun to be posting on here

Catcha - I have enjoyed your input to the forum and have always been thankful of the positive attitude that you bring to the place. You always seemed to lift up the forum and bring a vibe of positivity.

I hope you will not be a stranger though, Catcha. I would love to hear your updates and adventures you are having.

All the best and good luck with everything

Well done Catcha for doing your time modding - a thankless task as far as I can see. I hope you have many fantastic wine years and your business grows and grows, and your family thrives

Congratulations on the growing business Catcha. Hope to get down there one of these days. You've been a fab Mod & some of us know how difficult that can be.

And they produce damn fine wines!

Purrball

Yes.

Although saying that, and perhaps this isn't the right time and place, but if there's a spare mod slot going you could do worse than offer Persephone a promotion for giving good value, and being consistently helpful and informative.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your kind words. Just realised we have been in NZ now for ten years this month. Will post a update soon!

Will be back more regularly, once harvest is out of the way.

Yes he does. Only just read this (there really ought to be some Mod News section on here). Very sorry to hear that catcha won't be around so much.....what a pity. Life gets in the way of BE sometimes.
