The idea is to set up a committee. At present I am talking to the council

in regards to a possible site for the skate park to go. (won't cost

anything). We still have to talk to other official & local councils

regarding some funding. There is a way of putting the whole thing into a

plan for the council to fund the park 100% but as the council works in 3

year "waves" for plans we could not put it through the council until 2009

(which is really not too far away). The other option is fundraising. We are

in the beginning stages and a lot of ground has to be covered.

Anyone who wants to be in the committee or can help in anyway (due to

fundraising experience for instance) please email me.

I will be on leave until the end of August so don't expect a reply until

the beginning of September.

I quite like fly fishing. Can the pond in Te Wharau be cleaned out and a few Rainbow thrown in. I promise I will not throw beer bottles in or take drugs whilst casting. Be cheaper than a skatepark and the local teens might enjoy it.
