Community-led Gulf Harbour Country Club (GHCC) Mowing Initiative: Week One Update

A community-led initiative to mow the entire Gulf Harbour Country Club with a small team of helpers and support from local businesses got underway on Monday 21 October. KWGS is not directly involved but have played a supporting role to enable the team of mowers to get an action plan drawn up and gather resources to get underway. We are also co-ordinating volunteers to help with an clean-up of the course and collecting donations for the mowers’ operational expenses. Even after just one week of activity, substantial progress has been made. The following is a short video showing the first week of the mowing operations.

Golf Course Clean-up

Thank you to the 40 registered volunteers for offering to help with the clean-up of the golf course grounds. The first clean-up event is this Sunday 03 November and the second on Sunday 10 November. The mower team will be in touch with you by email with a video link which has information for the first clean-up later tonight (Tuesday evening 29 October). If you would like to help with the clean-up but haven’t registered your interest yet please email: comms@kwgnz.org as soon as possible.
