Churton Park Community Centre - What's On to June 8th 2014

Hi Everyone

Enjoy well deserved long weekend this weekend! The Centre will be closed on Monday and our regular Monday activities are cancelled, including our Buggy Walk. We’ll be back open at 10am on Tuesday morning.

Our buddies at Little Monkeys have developed a handy little app called No-Surcharge, a directory to help you find retailers who aren’t charging that pesky surcharge on public holidays. It’s nation-wide, so you take it on your road trip this weekend! Visithttp://www.no-surcharge.co.nz/ or download the app from Google Play or The App Store.

For what’s coming up next week at CPCC, please click here….and don’t forget to pop in to see the team from the SPCA tomorrow for their adoption day.

COMMUNITY NOTICES
  • ** Planting on Thursday 5 June 10am at Stebbings Dam ** - The Churton Park Revegetation Group have arranged for a planting session  by the south side of the spillway at Stebbings dam.  This is an area that was planted out with the original landscaping. Not many of the plants survived, and those that did look a bit lonely.  Greater Wellington Rivers Department have agreed to supply 100 plants to bulk up this area.  There will be no preparation work as they have kept the area mown. Tools and gloves provided but you are welcome to bring your own. This is the first time we have planned a weekday planting session, which may suit people who would like to be involved but are not available at weekends. Please let John Morrison know if you can come. He can be contacted on 477 1020 or email revegetation@churtonpark.org.nz
