East Tamaki Primary Cycle Track Gets Rolling


Work started on Saturday 1 December 2012  on the construction of the East Tamaki Primary School Cycle track. This is the first of the Owen Glenn Family Trust Projects in Otara-East Tamaki area, which Rotary Club of Botany East Tamaki Inc are associated with.

A team of  members began our part in the project by installing all the Safety Fencing around the Cycle track construction site and marking out the perimeters of the Track.  The Team included Carey Brown (Contractor) and Peter McGlashan, Director: Sports and Wellbeing, Glenn Family Foundation with the Club Team (wearing the club's new Hi Vis Jackets).

 
 
(Picture above) Monday 3 December saw members of the Club, the Principal of the School Sarah Mirams, Peter McGlashan and other members of the Owen Glenn Foundation were present at a Sod Turning ceremony officiated by Waikare Komene from the local Maori Community, who offered a Karakia to bless the site and the work that is to follow.
The target for completion is Monday 10th December. with the Official opening Tuesday 11th December. The next major part of the project for the Club is assembling all the bicycles ready for Official opening.
