The building, situated on Molesworth Drive between the activity zone and the bowling club, is almost complete with just a few final touches to be put in place. Station manager Kay Carey says “We won’t know ourselves, the new premises will make a huge difference to the volunteers.” The double bay station will require furnishing and is equipped with a
kitchenette, two bedrooms, a bathroom including a disabled toilet, a training room which can be hired out and used for community events, an office and a staff library. “The majority of the funds have come from the Mangawhai St John op shop. Without the volunteers time it would have taken much longer to get to where we are now.”
The official opening is yet to be confirmed but it is hoped to be fully set up later this year. “We want to move in quietly at first just to iron out any teething issues, but we will be holding training nights at the station from now on, so people will see some activity,” she said. continued on page 4 …
