Spring build for Pump Track

Jun 2024

Martinborough Youth Trust are happy to thank a number of generous donors and acknowledge pledges from Toast Martinborough and Pain Farm which have enabled some “big leaps” in progress on the Pump Track project.

Until now the trust has been working with a concept drawing. But when funds broke through $250,000 the Trust decided to progress with firm plans and to schedule the build.

Discussions with The Trail Pro team are underway for a Spring build start. This means we can hopefully look to find accommodation to suit the team who will come down from Auckland and stay locally for the duration of the build.

“Ideally we are looking to find a homestay with three bedrooms so if you are keen to support the project and be able to offer something at a great rate please don’t hesitate to get in touch,” said co-ordinator Charlotte Harding.

For a long time the locals who offered “hands on” support for the project have been patiently waiting in the wings but as we get really clear on timing and what we need we will be getting in touch with everyone to make magic happen and this project completed.

Martinborough Youth Trust members Terry Blacktop, Pat Church and Sue Sullivan are thrilled to finally see this project come to fruition.

If you are still keen to support, reach out to Charlotte via email  charlotte.harding9717@gmail.com or the Givealittle page: Martinborough Pump Track Project.
