A big thank you to the community for supporting our first “Movies on the Green” night. Approximately 500 people carried down their bean bags, blow up furniture and in some cases armchairs down to the Village Green to snuggle up and watch some fantastic short films and the surf doco “Stepping Into Liquid”. Many thanks to all the volunteers involved, but especially to our financial sponsors, Harvest Fresh Ltd, Next Door Productions Ltd and Robbers Dog Films. Also, Auckland Council and the Rangers Scott and Lynette whose assistance prior to the night made it so much easier for us and the audience on the night as they supplied the portaloos!
Tim Jago,
presented the building plans and timeline to the audience and outlined what a
fantastic community owned building the new Surf Club at Muriwai will be. The new building designed by Jasmax, is
expected to be completed in July 2012, it will be the new home to many local
sports, leisure and interest groups, a purpose designed educational facility, a
gathering point for the local community, and the foundation of a strong and
prosperous volunteer lifeguard service ongoing.
Movies
on the Green was a combined effort from Muriwai Surf Lifesaving, and the
Muriwai Beach Progressive Association. This is a great example of two community based associations working
together to bring a fantastic event to the community. If you would like to be informed about happenings around Muriwai and
have the chance to get involved or make your opinions known, please come and
contribute at the MBPA meetings held on the third Tuesday of every month, 7.30
at the fire station.
Thanks
again,
