On Monday, we had our first meeting of FWH Community board. During this, we heard 3 deputations by appointment (2 relating to a proposed liquor store and 1 relating to yellow no-parking lines); while on the other hand we approved funding grants for 4 different applications - all involving young students. It involved a scout group, a volleyball competition, "outward bound" course and student exchange programme!
On Saturday, I attended Justice of Peace training, where one of the presenters was fellow community board member Sam MacDonald - giving us JPs an insight into Rata Foundation. Sam is one of the trustees there.
Later that day, several Neighbourly Leads from across Christchurch met at Betty's Cafe. It was nice to connect with each other.
"Celebrate Bishopdale" was held on Sunday, in perfect weather. It was great to see an excellent turnout with members of community enjoying what was on offer. Scores of children from local schools put up pleasing performances. Cr Aaron Keown and several community board members attended the event.
Today (Monday) - we do not have a regular community board meeting - but we do have a workshop on annual plan. Thereafter, I will be attending a community meeting organised by Hon. Nicky Wagner (Christchuch Central MP) where the minister of Immigration Hon. Michael Woodhouse will be speaking.
Did I forget my usual Wednesday evening Rotary meeting....
Have a nice day.

Ok Facebook friends and your network...a call out for a large tank to rehome a Turtle (known as Mr Turtle)..that was at Karen's. He was Shane's and We are going to rehome him back at ours (he is a well travelled reptile)In the interim until life is more settled and certain in Kaikoura. His large tank was completely shattered in the quake.There really isn't much room at Mums for him there to reset him up.We left our aquarium back in Oz when we left Brisbane so need to get a new (second hand one)and the bits and pieces to set it all up again. He is a penny turtle who would now be 15-20 years old (a good size)...thank you in advance....
