Last day that Tikipunga High School pool is open to the community
Sunday 19 February - the last day Tikipunga High School swimming pool will be open to community!!
Due to a shortage of funds we have to end the project on Sunday and the pool will not open again to the community until next summer, despite the tremendous success of the project - averaging 80 swimmers per day.
This project was funded through Tikipunga Community Trust, which operates as Tiki Pride. We have made numerous funding applications, a few of which were successful, and have canvassed a number of organisations for support. Many have been eager to express praise or support for this programme. However unless sufficient putea is actually in the kite the Trust cannot commit to contracting the further services of Community Leisure Management (from Whangarei Aquatic Centre) who manage the swimming pool to meet the health and safety standards required.
However we are hopeful that we will be able to find sufficient funding by next summer to open the pool to the community again, for an even longer season.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
