It was nice to be present on Monday at the re-opening of Mona Vale homestead, a real treasure for our city. It was well attended by councillors, fellow community board members, council staff, media and members of the community. Sharing some images from the event.

In the afternoon, I attended a training about Tree removal process, which was both varied and interesting. Following this, we had our regular Community Board meeting - where creation of a separate Youth Development Fund was approved. To end the day, we attended a workshop about the annual plan process.
I also received both a print copy and an electronic copy of our community board group photo, taken in October.

Several international players, including New Zealand Blackjacks; the coach and some players of Tactix netball team and other sporting organisations were present. Everyone split in teams and played for an hour of so, before joining in the club rooms for mix & mingle.

The competition runs from 29th November to 11 December, and will be played at 3 different venues - Burnside Bowling Club, Fendalton Bowling Club and Bowls Papanui.


This competition will see 34 countries represented by about 240 players. Some teams have just 1 players, while others have a squad of 10. They will be playing in fours, triples, pairs and singles - in both men and women categories.

The teams come from countries as diverse as Brunei, Cyprus, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey and Macao - to name a few.

Cr Aaron Keown, fellow community board member Aaron Campbell and I attended this event on behalf of FWH community board, as well as tried our hands at lawn bowling - with varying degrees of success!

Coincidentally, all 3 venues are part of FWH area.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel will welcome all the teams formally on behalf of the city of Christchurch on Monday 28th at Civic offices.
