Thank you to all who attended our AGM.  It is always nice for residents to meet each other and our elected representatives.  We welcomed Nuk Korako MP, the Community Board members who were able to attend: Karolin Potter, Helene Mautner, Lee Sampson, Phil Clearwater.  Apologies were received from Ruth Dyson, MP. Certainly there was a  lot of chatting and mingling during the evening.

The meeting, chaired by Guy Field, showcased the work of the committee during 2016.  The Report from the Chair canvassed the community work of the Association during the year.  Karolin Potter, Chair of the Community Board was very complimentary about the Association and its contribution to the area.  please read the report below:

We elected our 2017 committee.  Several members were hapy to stand again and we also welcome Bruce Grimwood to the new committee. The committee had no elected Chair so will continue with a rotating Chair for the meetings. The  Committee is as follows:

• Sue Bye (Secretary), Lyn Coulbeck (Treasurer), Julie Davis, Guy Field, Noel Collins, Bruce Grimwood.

Our Guest speaker was Mark Wilson, Principal of Cashmere High School.  Ho reviewed the developemnts at Cashmere HS, with the replacement of older buildings and the development of the HS campus to meet the needs of the future. As an example, the performing arts facilities will be improved and enlarged to accomodate increased numbers of students.  The Gym facilities are top knotch and older classrooms are being replaced.  We found Mark’s presentation very interesting and enjooyed being able to peruse the plans.

Thanks go to Hohepa for the use of their facilities.
