As part of a programme to motivate the
community to interact with each other and to form local safety structures, The
Umbilo Community Police Forum would like to encourage members of the community to meet each
other in Bulwer Park on the public holiday of June 17. The intended duration
would be from 10h00 to 15h00.
The intention is to stage a number of small
events and exhibitions to draw the community to the park, and for them to enjoy
their own picnic with their family, friends and neighbours.
The community would bring their own picnic
lunch as no food will be on sale or provided.
Events and exhibitions envisaged are: art
groups, local dance groups, musicians, fitness groups, a jumping castle and
various community organisations.
These would all be voluntary not for
commercial gain and no business will be concluded. Business sponsors, of the
CPF, would be allowed to display a limited number of banners and promotional
items. The various groups would only be allowed to receive voluntary donations.
This is intended as a “seed” event to
encourage the community to “take ownership” of the parks in their areas and for
the community to be proactive in maintaining our neighbourhood.
Anyone interested in taking part or
becoming involved in this event should contact Rob Hackenbruch on 082
