’m definitely feeling this is becoming just like a Telethon… thank goodness the Fundraising Chairman doesn’t have to drink a cup of tea while doing a headstand or something similar!! Yes, we are so close, and we’ve literally got one week (until next Thursday) before Council makes the decision to let the
main construction tender for our new EA Networks Centre. We started in earnest to raise $5 million community funding in November 2011, now 20 months ago. We’ve still got the HouseBuild to come in July, but we’ve got some expenses to meet,
M
id Canterbury Netball recently donated $20,000 towards the EA Networks Centre. Rosemary Adlam, President of Mid Canterbury Netball explains: “As the first sport in Mid Canterbury to moot the concept of a Stadium when the need for a new pool complex became obvious, Mid Canterbury Netball is a strong advocate for the Centre. With the Public Supporters’ Campaign underway and the community fundraising target in sight, Netball saw it as important to make this significant donation now. As a non-profit making organisation the money had to be raised and was contributed from the organisation’s 2012 and 2013 annual raffle, the
proceeds of which are tagged for ‘the future development of netball’. The Mid Canterbury Netball Board then made the decision to ‘top up’ the total to $20,000. Our appreciation is given to netballers and community members who made this possible”. As Rosemary further explains, “Mid Canterbury Netball is looking forward to this next era and to fully utilising the indoor venue, with plans to move Netball to the new Centre. Netball played on sprung wooden floors enhances the game enabling faster, more exciting play and safer opportunities for players to display their skills. Weather disruptions this season have meant an extension of the season into September – the indoor facility will allow uninterrupted competition and
CARTWRIGHT GROUP BUSINESS PARTNER
T
he Cartwright Group is another great example of a local company supporting the local community, and has recently come on-board as a Business Partner for the EA Networks Centre. Cartwright’s was established in 1979 by local family man Sandy Cartwright, with his son Andrew now owning and running the business. Today with 9 staff, Cartwright’s offer a range of insurance services, including domestic, commercial, travel, health and life insurance, plus also a mortgage broker service.
jingle go?... “Thank you very much for your kind donation, thank you very much, thank you very very very much”, but on a more serious and very proud note, thank you Mid Canterbury for your generosity. If you’re still to donate, please do so in the next few days, and let’s make that $5 million.

representative fixtures. The EA Networks Centre will also provide new and exciting competition and representative opportunities, with Mid Canterbury Netball anticipating a growth in participant numbers due to the ability to programme some competitions during the week and because we can play our game indoors, out of the weather and on a better surface. Additionally Mid Canterbury Netball is looking forward to being able to apply to Netball New Zealand to host national events. We hope this can occur at an early stage and will also, commercially, provide another opportunity to bring external money into the District. Meanwhile regional event opportunities will also grow”.

t the recent Wheat and Wheels Rally held at Peter Butterick’s farm, the Pendarves Volunteer Rural Fire Force was out in force fundraising for the EA Networks Centre. The members ran the bar at the Rally from Friday to Sunday night, and also gave a 15 minute display of their fire fighting skills on both Saturday and Sunday. Also on display at the Rally was the fire fighting equipment and machinery of today and yesteryear. From their efforts $1,500 was raised. The members are very pleased to be able to support the Centre, as they see the project as one that will benefit all their members and families.
