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.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
