Big Splash Naenae
One of the great things I've found in my role on the North East Community Committee is the enthuiasm amongst local groups and the pride they have in their local areas.
As an example, the last two years about 50 or so volunteers have turned out to repaint the Naenae Shopping Centre. Last year I couldn't help (It was on polling day, so I had already committed to helping a friend) but this year I was there at 8am for a four hour shift. I managed to paint half the frontage of the Coin Save with an exchange student from Greenland, then do most of the trim work on the Curry Time Takeaways by the Library.
Anyway, here is me when I just turned up in the morning, before I got paint all over me:

No doubt there will be a third paintathon next year - make sure you turn up!
