Keen Sports Persons thoughts

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

I have been a keen and active sports person, abeit at a much lower level than today's top rugby players, since I was a kid and still am as I get into my 70's. Starting with rugby from about Standard 3 through high school, motor racing from 14, yachting in adulthood and a general interest in all sports plus activities to keep my bones from seizing up I am disappointed in the recent Taranaki Regional Council decision on Rugby Park. All councils should be concentrating on providing encouragement, activities and reasonable facilities for the wellbeing of the majority not the minority. This is even more so in the professional era we now find ourselves in. Even the professional era goes far beyond rugby as everyday there seems to be some new sport that is heading in the same direction. Most of this as you would expect is aimed at the elite level which have plenty of other sources of funding. With todays increasingly sedentary population and its inherent problems with obesity, mobility and general well-being not to mention our limited dollars a re-think is needed on this issue.
