Thank you to the generousity of NZCT who have contributed a grant of $12,000 towards the Club Gym.
A special mention and thanks to Di and Steve for putting this application together.
The council has installed new drainage to the north side of the tennis court and routed it past the clubhouse to the reserve which will alleviate some of our flooding issues outside the gym and squash court 1. A BIG thank you Steve for all your efforts in getting this sorted.
Air conditioning has been installed in the gym.
Repairs to our fire exit doors and ladies toilet window have been completed.
A grant has been applied for a new steriliser for the bar and repairs to the floor which has been damaged due to water leaks.
We’ve had companies in to quote on new carpet for the downstairs and will be applying for grants for that.
We have the opportunity to host another St John's First Aid Course. We have two options:
1. Refresher course for those who have in the past two years completed Level 1 or 2 and need to revalidate their First Aid certificate because they are a designated first aider.
2. Beginner First Aid for those who don’t hold a First Aid Certificate and would like to gain a qualification.
