UPCOMING AND RECENT EVENTS
Maintenance of John Taylor Walkway - Halswell Quarry Park
Saturday 3 May 10am to 12 noon.
The RotaryClub of Christchurch South created the John Taylor Walkway at Halswell Quarry Park in 2005, as a Rotary Centennial Project and in memory of former member and President John Taylor, who was prominent in Christchurch gardening circles. Club members regularly carry out maintenance on this delightful walkway under the supervision of the Park Rangers. Members of the public are invited to join us.
If you would like to participate please make contact by phoning Alan on 0211427668 or fill in this form so we can get back to you if the event is cancelled for some reason and to make sure that we have sufficient catering for the barbecue which follows the maintenance work.
Bring gardening tools and portable weed eaters etc. If you have them.
The best access to the Walkway is from the Cashmere Road entrance to the park.
