Labour Day - Neighbourhood Biketober event and sausage sizzle

On Labour Day Monday (24 October 2022) the BNA is running an event for Biketober. There will be a kids cycle challenge, a cycle treasure hunt (both with small spot prizes), an adults bike challenge, and winding up with a free sausage sizzle and bouncy castle at Hettie’s corner. There will be a 30 minute talk and question session about the next stage of the water main replacement pipe work being carried out by SEIPP Construction. You can also give us some feedback about possible redesign of the roadside garden beds at this corner.

Here’s the detailed timetable:

3pm Kids and adults cycle challenges, on Hunter Terrace next to South Library (where the South Christchurch Farmers’s Market meets). Slow bike rides and so on with spot prizes.

3:40pm kids set off on a cycle treasure hunt around the Loop, searching for multi coloured benches. Treasure hunt ends at Hettie's corner (Malcolm Ave/Birdwood Ave corner) at 4pm. Entries go in a box for spot prizes.

4pm Sausage sizzle and bouncy castle at Hetties corner. There will be bike smoothies too. Discussions about possible redesign of roadside plantings there, to make space for some community benches, or perhaps have edibles for community use.

4:30pm. Talk by SEIPP Construction project manager about forthcoming work on water main renewal. The next stage involves laying new pipes on Eastern Terrace and Malcolm Ave near the Malcolm Ave footbridge (and running under the river at this point).

5pm wrap up event.
