Community Events
COMING UP
Raise the Roof Fundraiser
NOW!
The fundraising campaign to finance the covering of the deck outside the Front Room Cafe has officially got underway. The aim is to make the area weatherproof so that it can be used in all weather. It consists of a louvre roof and clear plastic sides that can be rolled up in good weather - think Riverside or Ocean by the Sumner clocktower.
It doubles the number of tables that front on to the estuary, and allows a clear view of the Llew Summers sculpture, Flight.
It also means that it can be booked for functions such as birthdays and anniversaries.
