The summer sunburn is fading and the last of sand has been shaken from the beach towels as Term 1 of the school year commences.Last year ended on a high note with the very successful community day at Owens Park. Thanks to all involved, especially the youth development team at Sport BoP, and the team at Welcome Bay Community Centre. Great music, delicious food, and some wonderful ideas from the community for the future development of Owens Park. First and foremost was a BMX track, followed by better park facilities such as picnic tables, BBQ, and playground equipment. Community gardens and fruit trees were high on the list, a few votes for more sports facilities, and not least a unicorn. The best of all was the feedback at the end of the day: “When we do this next year…” and “Next year, we would love to…” Many thanks to the principals of Welcome Bay School and Selwyn Ridge school for their tremendous twosome MC’ing the stage!! If you would like to be involved in this year’s event in December – stall holder, performer, ideas-person, sponsor, volunteer – please contact the Community Centre.
