Kelvin Grove Community Association AGM 2019
We would like to invite you to attend our 2019 Annual General Meeting 27th July 1.30 to 3.30 pm at Kelvin Grove Community Centre, 68 Kaimanawa St., Palmerston North.
As usual we believe we have accomplished a great year of community activities that we’d like to share with you as well as hear your side of how our Palmerston North Community includes our community.

Our achievements this year have been >>
• Fun Day (in conjunction with the National Neighbours Day celebrations) at Linklater Reserve, a FREE day for everyone which hosted about 1,500 people – BBQ, bouncy castles, waterslide, orienteering, dancing, BMX, flying fox, log clambering, etc. Photographs from this event will be at our presentation.
• Our thanks to PNCC Community Advisor Julia Panfylova for facilitating the big day, with cooperation from several other organisations.
• We have already decided to have this again in 2020 on the last Saturday of March, 2020.
• Donated $12,500 toward the cost of the double Flying Fox at Linklater Reserve, a very popular attraction for young & old.
• Hosted one of the PN City Council “Movies in the Parks” which poor weather enabled us to host 90 people in our Kelvin Grove Community Centre. Photographs from this event at our presentation.
