Memorial Park and the Riverbank Pathway

Bob Selden from The Greasy Chain Charitable Trust

Hello Neighbours, this is Bob from the Greasy Chain Charitable Trust and this is our first post, so I'd appreciate your comments.

In a nutshell, the Trust is an organisation formed to encourage more people to become fitter, save the environment, and save some money, by using bikes more often - commuting, schooling, shopping, for sport or just for relaxation. You can see our five guiding principles in our 'About' profile.

Reason for this post is that on Saturday 25th January, we have two events in which we'd really like to have your involvement.

The first is a Family Fun Ride along the Riverbank Pathway, joining anywhere from Linton to just near Memorial Park. Families can join the ride anytime from 10am and should arrive at Memorial Park by 12.30pm. We're grateful to our friends at Milson Rotary for helping with this event.

The second is the Over the Line Festival at Memorial Park starting at 12 noon and finishing at 5pm. There'll be live music, food stalls, children's entertainment, spot prizes for families and more (including secure bike parking). This event is being managed by the Palmerston North City Council.

Both of these events are in conjunction with the Gravel and Tar cycle events that start in Feilding and finish at Memorial Park on the 25th, which the Trust also manages.

Should you require further information, please respond to this post or give me a call on 027 565 1110.

I look forward to meeting many of you on Saturday the 25th.

Bob.
PS: we are still looking for some volunteers to help out with our events, so if you have a few hours available on Saturday 25th, please email Katherine Stannard katherine.stannard@pncc.govt.nz.

This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
