Fun day fundraiser back for children

Kids are set to get active when the Wellsford Children’s Fun Day returns to Centennial Park on March 4 from noon to 4pm.

The event has run since 2011 and last year attracted 750 people, raising over $5000.

Event organiser Lynette Gubb says the day is about promoting what sport Wellsford has to offer and children having fun.

“Even though we raise money for upgrading Centennial Park, the day is more about showing what sporting activities we have in the area,” Lynette says.

“All of the clubs will be there to run activities and display what they offer.”

Other entertainment includes a mobile farm, bouncy castles and Segway electric scooters to ride, which proved a popular addition at last year’s fun day.

Food and refreshments will be available at the event and children can buy a ticket to do 10 activities for $5.

Volunteers are still required. To help, contact Wendy on 021 144 6613.
