Woodall Park Pump Track Working Bee
Have fun and meet like-minded people by helping to build the exciting new Pump Track for our community and kids.
If you can spare some time this Saturday 20th between 8 am and 1 pm at Woodall Park. Your help will be greatly appreciated plus you can get to check out the progress .
Your task will be to receive the metal and spread it using rakes and shovels, we don’t think it will be too onerous! Maybe bring along a sturdy garden rake, a square mouthed shovel and a light wheelbarrow (only if you can easily get it there), a hat and some sunscreen.
We also have the use of 3 bobcats and experienced operators who will pick up and dump the metal from the stockpile into the geogrid which we have been placing over the last few days.
Josie Wang from Narrowneck Café, has very generously provided vouchers for our use for those working on the project. There will be one voucher available per family on the day.
Many hands make light work.
You might also like to donate to the Givealittle page which has been set up to help fund this project.

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
