Over the top fun

- By Jane Cosmas

We are having a working bee down at the Ōmokoroa Community Garden on Saturday 1st August from 8.30am, but come when you can. If you have an hour or two to spare, we'd appreciate you coming down to help build the remaining six beds and fill with soil; bring a wheel barrow if you have one; paint the shed and install the mural; put up the timber frame for the seating area.

Bring a plate of something to share at morning tea if you can and bring a rain coat and something warm to wear.

The LJ Hooker Over the Top Fun Run for Waihī Beach School is taking place on the 12th September at Waihī Beach.

In its 5th year, this very popular community event has something for everyone. The 3, 6 and 10km runs/walks start at Brighton Reserve on the Waihī beachfront and take participan­ts over to Orokawa Bay or Homunga Bay.

The event raises much needed funds for the local Waihī Beach School, for the improvemen­t of the outdoor physical activity environmen­t, and at the same time is a great way to make use of the area’s beautiful surroundin­gs.

We are very grateful to our main sponsor,

If you have any questions please email me at rick.peers@gmail.com LJ Hooker, and all our other supporting sponsors, who make this event happen. We are especially grateful this year that these businesses are getting behind us; it was touch and go that we would even be able to go ahead with the event because of Covid so we are super excited to be underway with our planning.

The excitement is building, we can’t wait to bring the wider community together for our awesome Fun Run. Get in behind this awesome event to support the local Waihī Beach School.

Registrati­ons are now open for all events. We have some fabulous spot prizes available on the day. Find more informatio­n on our Facebook page @overthetop­funrun
