I consider myself to be a very positive person in fact by profession I am a Motivational Coach that teaches others self motivational skills. I have tried really hard to stay positive over the new aquatic centre that the Timaru District council is building on Maori Park but I’m afraid there are far to many things wrong with it for me to fall in love with it.
Yesterday I was calling on the householders around Maori Park when one of them recieved in the mail a plan of the parking facilities for the new Aquatic Centre. On close inspection of the parking plans there is one space alocated for one bus and car parks are listed as 30 minute parks. The white elephant Tennis Centre which was built for Davis Cup matches has no bus park at all. Someone told me that 1 bus park is 1 more than the Piazza has.
Watch this Space
I am busy calling on residents around Maori Park getting donations to promote and save the Century Pool because if they continue with what they are doing Timaru will soon be with out a swimming pool. See you back soon and I will tell you the joke about the lighthouse in the gully behind the trees and how they got the building permit.
I will also explain to you how school children can walk hand in hand with their swimming togs along a 1 metre footpath and how they cross a double lane road without a pedestrian crossing.
Thanks for your coments Richie. I am in favour of improving the swimming facilities but it did not need to cost $23.5 million
I am not working in the Harper Street area I have been working in Parkside, Gleniti and Waimataiti. My goal is to knock on every door in Timaru and I have a team of only one.
Tell your freind to send me a donation if she wants a brochue
And how do you know it did not need to cost $23.5m?? Have you done a (proper) financial analysis of the costs? Do you have a detailed breakdown showing were speanding has been gratuitious and unneccessary? Do you have any financial qualifications giving you authority to comment?
If one has to donate to get the brochure, but the purpose of the brochure is to raise the profile of the Save the Century Pool brigade (population: 1) so that you can get more donations, isn’t it counter productive? The people getting the brochure have already donated!
My qualifications are 40 years wotking in the finance industry and counting the number of people in Timaru that swim and the figures don’t add up.
I have not published a Century Pool brochure but I do publish a newsletter called Timaru Directory News which is due out next week. If you are lucky you may get one for free that one of my save the century pool supporters has paid for
