Volunteers’ Hard Work Vandalised
Tammy’s Boxing Tammy needs to find sponsors to help her raise $4,200 to get her to Barbados in September to fight in the world titles. 24 year old Tammy only started boxing two years ago. Her grandfather was a professional boxer and some of her male cousins box. Tammy says “I love the sport and although I won the welterweight title last year I am now fighting middleweight (under 75kg) to be able to train for the 2012 London Olympics where there are only three weight classes.” Tammy trains twice a day in preparation for a fight otherwise once a day. The photos show her in action and outside the Richmond Boxing Club. The funding for female boxing is very political as when the original budget was set female boxing was not an Olympic sport. Any sponsorship for Tammy would be a great help and you can contact her by email tammy.taylor@live.com.au.
Last month a small group of Bushcare volunteers planted 1500 sedges in Clissold Reserve, Emu Heights. Disappointingly most of them have been pulled out and thrown around. This is so disheartening for the volunteers and a waste of time and resources. If anybody has any information about this vandalism please contact Janet Rannard at Penrith Council on 4732 8088. Residents are able to report incidents at any time to Council rangers on 4732 7543 who will investigate.
