I am sending a plea for some people to help as marshals for Neil Gellatly's 3 D event on Sunday 31st May 2015.
Lake Okareka has supported Neil with this event ever since its inception - this is the 5th year this has been held.
I have had some excellent offers of help from LOCA Committee members (many thanks to Carol Christian-Price, Cheryl & Steve Lyons with their boat, and Mike Goodwin with his boat assisted by Brian Law) and from the Fire Force (thanks to Philip Muldoon with his boat + a helper and 6 others people from the Lake Okareka fire force)
However I still could do with another 5 helpers please.
Neil is prepared to make a donation to a Lake Okareka charitable organisation again this year at $25 per person (last year $525 was paid out).
Please see more details in Neil's email below.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are able to help. Please pass these details on to anyone that you think may be able to assist.
Kind regards
Sandra Goodwin
