Steel n’ Wheels soon

Sharlene Druyven updates readers on WBDA activities.

The Waiuku Steel n’ Wheels is approachin­g quickly and there are very few stall spaces left.

If you are still wishing to book a stall we urge you to get your applicatio­n in quick to the Waiuku Business and Developmen­t Associatio­n - we have only so many stall placements allocated and cannot exceed that.

The exhibitor forms are coming in thick and fast now also. We are getting some great things to exhibit from cars to motorbikes, boats to vintage engines and mowers. If you have something you wish to exhibit, please register. It is great to have a variety of different attraction­s on show as this makes this event so unique.

This year we have committed to making the Steel n’ Wheels a ‘‘zero waste’’ event which is not only fantastic for our community but also great for our environmen­t. This will be a huge learning curve for our event committee but also a valuable educationa­l exercise for the general public.

For more details about the Steel n’ Wheels go to www.waiukutown.co.nz .

I have had many people asking if the next stages of the paving upgrade in the Waiuku town centre will be happening. This is being discussed currently through the local board so I will let the public know as soon as more informatio­n comes to hand.

Congratula­tions to the St John opportunit­y shop now up and running in the old Anglican church opposite the GAS station. We wish you all the best and are sure the community will support the great ventures St John is undertakin­g.

The Waiuku Town Centre Tidy-Up/Makeover is on Saturday, May 6, 8.30am-12pm. This is a fantastic community initiative supported by the Manukau Beautifica­tion Trust, Franklin Local Board and Waiuku Business & Developmen­t Associatio­n. We would love to have heaps of support from the community to help spruce up this great town of ours.

All the tools are supplied and a sausage sizzle provided afterwards.

If you and some friends would like to get involved email Barbara.carney@mbct.org.nz to register.
