FLORA COURTS
GRAND OPENING: SATURDAY 7 FEBRUARY, 1.00PM
We're excited to announce, the new netball courts, built as part of the redevelopment of the Recreation Grounds, will be opened this Saturday in tribute to Flora 'Flo' McGregor.
To quote Banks Peninsula Councillor, Tyrone Fields: Flo was a deeply respected community leader and volunteer, whose work across a range of sporting, cultural and community causes has left a lasting legacy in Lyttelton and beyond. Amongst her many contributions, Flo was a driving force behind the inclusion of netball courts at the Recreation Grounds.'
The Recreation Ground Reserve Management Committee, recommended naming the courts after Flo McGregor; and this was supported by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, Lyttelton Netball and the McGregor Family.
The official dedication will take place on Saturday 7 Feburary, 1.00pm - as part of the Lyttelton Schools Reunion.
Flo was the driving force of inspiration for the Lyttelton Schools Reunion; telling everyone and anyone for years, that an event such as this - is the perfect opportunity to bring the whole community to together.
We'd like to express our gratitude to everyone involved, including: Recreation Ground Reserve Management Committee; Lyttelton Netball; Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board, Christchurch City Council and the McGregor Family - for making it possible to celebrate this dedication, this weekend.
