Motueka Aquatic Centre Fundraising news
2025 is approaching fast and the Motueka Aquatic Centre fundraising group would like to wish you all the best for the coming year.
This will be a big year for our committee and you will be seeing and hearing more from us as the new year progresses.
Our first fundraiser is being held at the All Cars Rally at Marchwood Park on Sunday 5th January 10 – 2pm. We will be sizzling sausages, selling drinks and raffle tickets, amidst a lot of good cheer – you might even be asked for a couple of coins for our donation tin. Come on down – the cars are amazing - we need your support to get our Aquatic Centre built as soon as possible.
This event will be followed by another sizzling of sausages at Mitre 10 Motueka on Saturday 25th January. Again – come along and have a sausage for brunch 😊
We have two fundraisers planned for February – watch this space.
If you have friends/family/groups that could make something for raffles or lend a hand raising funds please get in touch with me (Sue) on 0275443002 or text Linda 027 940 8882, Maree 027 528 9968 and Daryl 021 104 3599. The four of us are the “Small Events Group”. There are much larger events planned by other members of our Motueka Aquatic Centre group.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Harris Farms (Christchurch), New World, Woolworths, Mitre 10 who are our local sponsors and to our hard working fundraising team.
