This was a much anticipated event after last year’s successful debut. We were able to secure almost all of our favorite stall holders from last year and then had some exciting new ones on board, too. One of those was Danish pastry chef, Kristina Jensen who owns Elske Cafes, in Newmarket and Takapuna. I was so delighted to have Kristina participate this time and had managed to talk her into making tebirkes, and those, together with all the other delicious pastries and rye bread she brought along, were soon sold out! Make sure you pay a visit to Kristina’s stall next year…. I am allocating her lots more space! We also had the welcome addition of gløgg, this time, to complement the super popular aebleskiver. Another fantastic addition was the beautiful dinning marquee, generously provided and erected by Larry King. This created a very festive market atmosphere out in the courtyard. Another member, Heidi Wilson provided us with 10 large trestle tables which was a huge help in easing the demand for tables. Two new stall holders was Safka and Swenz. Safka filled the entire corner of the hall with an amazing selection of Scandinavian food and delicacies. Swenz made the trip all the way from Wellington to be at the market! They brought with them a selection of beautiful Swedish products, (including their 3 children), and created a lovely Swedish stall in a gazebo, outside. Be sure to visit the Safka and Swenz’s websites to view their full range. It’s difficult to judge exactly, without doing a head count, but it definitely felt like there were bigger crowds this year, so thank you to everyone who helped advertise this event. There is a huge amount of work involved in organizing the Julemarked, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without many helpers….so thank you so much to all of you, to those who helped setting up and the stall holders for cleaning up afterwards. What a great team! It’s so rewarding to see this event become so popular and see members of all ages eagerly participate in it. Of course even the most well planned things have hiccups… and we have had a few, but we are gaining invaluable experience and improving every time. Lastly, a huge thank you to Allan Winter and Danske Moebler, for their generosity in allowing us to use their van to transport trestle tables. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a safe, relaxing holiday. Glaedelig Jul og Godt Nyt Aar. Kirsten Jensen Christmas Dinner Party 2012 Our last Social for the year was the Julefrokost or Christmas Dinner Party on Saturday 17th November. It may have seemed a little too early to celebrate Christmas, but everyone got into the spirit quickly enough as the “julestemning” was provided by the delightful Nordicinspired Christmas decorations and gløgg with pebernødder to create a festive atmosphere. After a special welcome was made by Inger to guests from the Danish Church Abroad, our live musicians for the evening – Martin Driessen and Gayle – continued to sing and play easy-listening tunes in the background whilst the 70 guests attentively selected from the beautifully December 2012/January 2013 ● Danish Society News Magazine presented smørrebrødsbakker. Each tray refilled until no more could be eaten. In between bites, the music couldn’t stop some avid dancers from making the most of the dance floor and before dessert arrived, more couples were up and dancing to old favourites. Of course, no Julefrokost would be complete without Ris a l’amande, kaffe og brunkage; and so it was that Social number 1112 ended on a warm and Chrismassy note. Thanks to Committee and Socials Sub-committee members for their assistance pre- and post-party. Til alle, ønsker vi en rigtig God Jul og et Godt Nyt År, Med venlig hilsen, Socials Sub-committee 3 The Mark of Denmark It was in late 2001 that the Danish Government closely with the British and American military.

Jensen Sent in by Carlo Mikkelsen A Song of Joy 4 Danish Society News Magazine ● December 2012/January 2013 Danish/NZ History - Skudsmaalsbog As a clothing buyer for Hallenstein Brothers in Dunedin in the late 60’s I would often visit different branches throughout New Zealand. On one visit to Blenheim I met a man of Danish descent who wanted me to translate his grandfather’s skudsmaalsbog. This is the letter he wrote to me. Kind regards, Oluf P Basse Innes R. Simonsen, 80 Dillons Point Road, Blenheim 11 Nov. 1972 Dear Peter To continue our ‘conference’ in HB’s Blenheim staff tea room on 8th Nov:Firstly, I trust that the birthday telephone call ‘home’ to Denmark from Nelson on the occasion of your Father’s 70th birthday was clear and satisfactory. The old chap would get a ‘great kick’ to hear your voice from 12,000 miles away. Secondly I have to thank you for jacking up those blue shorts for me at Nelson. My wife (Pamela) said they were good quality and value - so ‘everybody’ was pleased! Circa 1862 Skudsmaalsbog booklet: Servants Conduct Book Herewith are the Photostat copy sheets of same, together with a copy of your 8.11.72 pencil notes. I’m hopeful that you will be able to decipher the last paragraph of page 7 in particular as this will be the only and earliest information that I have concerning my father’s father (Rasmus Neilsen Simonsen). My father Neil Rasmus Simonsen was born in Marlborough (New Zealand) on 7th July 1883 and died September 1963. He knew only a few Danish words and sentences and could not read the ‘Skudsmaalsbog booklet’ of course. Rasmus N Simonsen came to New Zealand with his wife and three children in 1874 and he was a farrier with the Danish artillery in the Schlesweig-Holstein war (186064) but I do not know how long he served in this war. If he were born in 1845 he would be only 15 years old in 1860, so I think he may have served about a year in it…? Rasmus N.S. first went to a sawmill in the Pelorous sound in 1874, and was taught English by an old Scottish couple (Duncan’s) there. He left there and leased land from the last ‘old timer’ Maori chief HEMI WHIRO at Canvastown. The rent was paid half yearly in goods (livestock and food) at a general gathering and feast, at which old granddad would wrestle the young bucks! The lease lasted for 20 years (no written agreement) and granddad is buried feet to feet with the old chief at Te Hora just ½ a mile from the leased land, which was the old TAITUKU Pa. This Pa had been abandoned by the Tribe years earlier on account of an outbreak of cholera or typhoid. Canvastown (5,000 Canvas Tents) sprang up as a result of December 2012/January 2013 ● Danish Society News Magazine the WAKAMARINA gold rush of 1864. The Wakamarina River joins the Pelorous River at Canvastown and then flows into the head of Pelorous Sound at Havelock. (The Taituku Pa was situated at the confluence of the W & P Rivers). Old granddad used to ‘put up’ all the itinerant parsons at his home and shoe their horses etc. Grandma ‘changed’ her religion to that of the Parson in residence at the moment! Grandad didn’t have much time for the Parsons apart from the Mormon ones who would give a day or two of their labour in exchange for the hospitality. One C/E Parson once offered his thanks for old Rasmus for shoeing his horses, but Rasmus said “Never mind the bloody tanks – dat will be 5 shillings”. This sentence is still one of our family sayings! Old Rasmus loved horses as did my ‘old man’ (Neil) and Dad also learned the blacksmith trade and ran a business for two years when I was 7 (1926). Most of his life he farmed – a ‘cow cocky’! Dad read a lot – particularly the Socialist writers – Jack London, Upton Sinclair and H G Wells etc. He became somewhat disillusioned during the period (196063) at the end of his life. He reckoned that “the working class could not stand prosperity…once a worker has a few quid in the bank, then he becomes a capitalist keen on the 10% interest racket”. Dad was a delegate to the 1940 Labour Party conference and came away from it ‘spitting sparks’ on account of the unjust expulsion from the Labour Party of John A Lee who is still alive in Auckland and writing at this time. His books ‘Children of the Poor’ and ‘Civilian into Soldier’ are worth reading. I have rambled somewhat away from Rasmus N. S and better let you attack the ‘Skudsmaalsbog’ instead, with that Danish Dictionary of yours. Best Wishes, Innes Simonsen Skudsmålsbog, literally “character book” or “conduct book”. The regulation for skudsmålsbøger was issued on September 5, 1832 for domestic workers. The book was generally issued at confirmation. When a domestic worker moved to a new town or parish, the local police or parish priest would sign the book, and when leaving a position, the master would attest the employment dates and wage (until 1867, he could also write a note about the quality of work). If the servant lost the book, he or she would be fined. 5 New Danish Honorary Consul appointed for the South Island The Ambassador of Denmark to New Zealand, Mr. Børge Petersen visited Christchurch this week to bid farewell to the outgoing Honorary Consul General of Denmark for the South Island, and to welcome his replacement. At a luncheon on November 6, 2012 the Ambassador announced the appointment of Mr. Palle Petersen as new Honorary Consul of Denmark in Christchurch for the South Island. Consul Palle Petersen succeeds Dr. Jørgen Schousboe, who has requested to be relieved from his honorary position. Presenting Her Majesty’s Letter of Royal Demission the Ambassador expressed his sincere appreciation to the outgoing Consul General Dr. Jørgen Schousboe for his nearly 25 years of dedicated service. As successor Her Majesty has appointed Mr. Palle Petersen as the Honorary Danish Consul in Christchurch. Mr. Petersen is a Dane who has lived in New Zealand for the past 24 years. He was transferred to New Zealand by his employer – the Danish company Bloch & Behrens, a wool trading company, supplying New Zealand wool to manufacturers world wide. Palle is the General Manager of Bloch & Behrens, now the export arm of PGG Wrightson’s wool division. He is married to Rachel – a New Zealander, and they have 3 teenage daughters: Emma, Sophie and Pia. From left to right: New Honorary Consul of Denmark in Christchurch, Palle Petersen, Ambassador of Denmark to New Zealand, Børge Petersen, and outgoing Consul General Dr. Jørgen Schousboe. Following the loss of their home on Mt Pleasant, Christchurch in the February 2011 earthquake the family is currently living in Methven, Mid Canterbury. Therefore, in the interim, the Consulate will be located in the offices of PGG Wrightson Wool. Palle Petersen looks forward to continue developing the excellent relations between New Zealand and Denmark and the citizens of both countries. The Consulate invites all Danes living in the South Island to register their email details with the Consulate to better facilitate communication. The contact details of the Consulate of Denmark are: Royal Danish Consulate c/o PGG Wrightson Wool 503 Blenheim Road Christchurch e-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 03 343 8101 Desperately looking for work Reidar, a Dane living in Auckland with his New Zealand wife, is looking for work. He has worked in Denmark and Norway for many years as a construction worker and welder for which he is also formally trained and qualified. A back injury a few years back means he can no longer do as much physical work, but he still has a real “can-do” attitude, is very good with his hands, and will have a go at almost anything. If anyone in the Danish Society thinks they can help, please contact Reidar for a full CV and a chat by writing to [email protected] 6 Danish Society News Magazine ● December 2012/January 2013 We need your help! at the next Valhalla Working Bee 9th-10th March, 2013 We are seeking your support to carry out a whole range of jobs, both indoors and outdoors. There is always house-cleaning to do as well as weeding etc. Any help is welcome. Lunch is supplied by the society, therefore we need to know the number of participants by Wednesday, 6th March. If you are able to help in any way, please contact Palle Olsen on 09 416 8822, 021 255 0911 or [email protected] From the Valhalla Booking Officer We still have four days available over the summer holidays from the 13th – 16th January. I have a family who would love to go up but at the moment only need three rooms. That means there are four rooms still available, it would be a shame to have empty rooms over such a peak time. First in first served for these four rooms. Due to the outcome of the AGM I am now President of the Danish Society for one year. This means that I am now seeking a new Valhalla Booking Officer. If this is something you would like to take on please let me know. After eight years of looking after the bookings and working with the sub-committee to help take care of this property, passing this job to another member will be bitter sweet as I have enjoyed my involvement in this role very much. There are no more working bees until 2013 so now it is the responsibility of the members staying to keep an eye on things for us and advise me if any work needs attending urgently. With so many people using Valhalla over December and January the property can begin to look a little unloved by the end of summer without the monthly working bee to spruce things up therefore anything you think needs attending I would like to hear about it either by phone and/or through the arrival and departure book. The gas bottles will need refilling at some point during the summer holidays; this can be done with December 2012/January 2013 ● Danish Society News Magazine swap-a-bottle at the Leigh garage. The rubbish is collected Tuesday morning at the gate behind the green shed; remember to have your rubbish out ready for collection. Thank you for the members who have participated in the working bees, your contribution is very much appreciated. Have a wonderful Christmas; enjoy your summer holidays with family and friends and I look forward to catching up with you in 2013.
