Jet-boat rides popular

Bailey Mackay (4), Holly Coutts (4) and Ted Coutts (7), all of Queenstown, check out one of KJet's boats with driver Owain Griffiths during the jet-boat company's ''locals' day'' on Saturday.

Queues of eager residents lined the Marine Parade jetty to take advantage of the day. With proof of Queenstown residency, more than 1000 people were able to experience a jet-boat ride at a discounted price.

While the full amount was yet to be finalised yesterday, funds raised will be evenly divided between the Lakeland Christian Camp and the Bruce Grant Youth Trust.
