Woodall Pumping Track Action Update.
Devonport Rotary is pleased to announce that the Woodall park pump track is starting to shape up nicely thanks to generous support from Gill and Gundry, Fitzi Drainlayer and enthusiastic locals who attended a recent working bee.
With the help of a digger and manual labour, the foundation metal was laid. Covid and the festive season will, unfortunately, delay getting clay on site to shape the track but it is expected to happen at the end of January.
In the meantime, Work will continue and soon the Jump start will take shape. Dean Coleman a well-known local lad, from Spiral Drillers is organising to drive timber foundation piles for the Jump Start structure around the 9th or 10th December.
We will give a heads up of the date so do come on down and have a look and learn how it’s done.
This exciting project will be a great place to take your kids and grandkids and we do still need funds to get this project across the line. Please think about supporting this project by donating to our Givealittle page givealittle.co.nz......
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?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
