Kelvin Grove Community Association AGM 2019
We would like to invite you to attend our 2019 Annual General Meeting 27th July 1.30 to 3.30 pm at Kelvin Grove Community Centre, 68 Kaimanawa St., Palmerston North.
As usual we believe we have accomplished a great year of community activities that we’d like to share with you as well as hear your side of how our Palmerston North Community includes our community.

Our achievements this year have been >>
• Fun Day (in conjunction with the National Neighbours Day celebrations) at Linklater Reserve, a FREE day for everyone which hosted about 1,500 people – BBQ, bouncy castles, waterslide, orienteering, dancing, BMX, flying fox, log clambering, etc. Photographs from this event will be at our presentation.
• Our thanks to PNCC Community Advisor Julia Panfylova for facilitating the big day, with cooperation from several other organisations.
• We have already decided to have this again in 2020 on the last Saturday of March, 2020.
• Donated $12,500 toward the cost of the double Flying Fox at Linklater Reserve, a very popular attraction for young & old.
• Hosted one of the PN City Council “Movies in the Parks” which poor weather enabled us to host 90 people in our Kelvin Grove Community Centre. Photographs from this event at our presentation.
• Installed a new laser projector & large 3 x 2 metre screen.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
