Founders Childrens Museum and Frankton

Bruce from Maeroa

Thank you for the questions in relation to a Childrens Museum in the Founders Theatre. Some ideas have come out of the comments and they will be looked at in the future. The major objective right now is to have the council to agree to retain Founders. In that regard a strong revenue plan is being created.
The first idea is a movie making exhibit with a view to having a support program for old time movies. A very small theatre inside the Founders seating maybe 2- 30 folks. Some keystone copsAlso looking at the exterior maybe some evening kiddie movies on Founders wall's.
The second is the Frankton Plan which identifies a Gateway, a heritage Museum and an events program. Now we should be able to help those.
Whose got more thoughts for me to think about?
More questions and more comments required.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

‘Huge potential’ for Te Rapa Racecourse site if sale goes ahead

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

If the races gallop off to Tamahere, “exciting things” could happen with the sizeable city site they leave behind, property experts say.

On Tuesday, the Waikato Times revealed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) plans to buy 150ha of farmland south of Hamilton to house the region’s three racing clubs at a new purpose-built racecourse and event centre.
