A big thank you to everyone who came to the Birthday Party for the Town Hall – it was a wonderful event and congratulations to the organisers of the Ball who also had a fab night. Well done and it is great to see the younger ones in town taking an interest in restoring the Town Hall.
As usual Council had plenty of applicants for the Sparc Rural Travel Fund – we were able to give everyone a grant with only 3 needing to provide more information. It would seem that the applicants are taking care to apply properly the first time to save waiting for the money.
This is a rural travel fund designed to help subsidise travel for junior teams participating in local sport competition aged between 5 and 19 years open to rural sports clubs and rural school teams participating in regular local sport competition in weekends and/or a sports club team participating in organised regular sport competition through club membership outside of school time.
If you did not apply this time around we will be re-advertising in July next year. Details available on our website www.swdc.govt.nz
