The Association is working with the Meijbaums on the Meridian Arch. The fibreglass ‘world’ is complete and now at the sculptors, to be installed with the mosaic by October, it is hoped. The cost of $12,000 is shared between the Association, the Meijbaums and Holcim Trust.
A history of the saga of the town clock, donated by the Lions Club in 1990, has been prepared for the historical magazine. Now there is a further installment since the clock face was blown down by the high winds a few weeks ago. The Mayor is arranging its repair.
The next Association meeting will be September 3, then in November to plan the Christmas lights bus trip and competition. To join or inquire, call John, 4841 1105, or Maureen, 4381 1515.
