to say thank you to those two young people.
FROM ALLAN - Queens Birthday weekend will be an
extra working bee. There are a lot of jobs still to do both
inside and outside and tidying up around the Bach as well.
We now have two first aid kits. One is a large OSH standard
kit and the other a smaller 'travelling kit'. If you use
anything from them please let Allan now so that replacements
can be got. Don't forget the Bach is open to the public
on the Sunday after the working bee.
Awards: The Trust has been nominated in two awards.
We nominated ourselves for the E-awards from the Auckland
Regional Council for the clean up we undertook in February
2002. Winners are announced on June 5th.
The ARC nominated us for a Green Ribbon Award from the
Ministry for the Environment, in the category of raising
awareness of environmental issues. Finalists are announced
in late May with the winners presentation also on June the
5th but in Wellington.
Fund applications: We have applied to the ARC EIF
fund for money towards an upgrade of our website. We should
here by the end of June whether we have been successful.
Your Trustees have also been working very hard on an application
for a sponsor. We will know about this by early June.
AGM - Tentatively set for 17th July.
Previous meeting: We would like to thank our visitors
from the ARC, Antoine and Brent for talking to us about
the role of the ARC, the new rating scenario and Rangitoto.
We all went home with some lovely posters and a good deal
to think about.
YOUR COMMITTEE. The Trustees have pleasure in announcing
that Allan Godsall and John Walsh have accepted positions
as Trustees of Rangitoto Island Historic Conservation Trust.
