It’s our first ever lunchtime session for Green Drinks. All the details are here

The strength of a local community can often be gauged by the strength of its community facilities. More so when those facilities are provided directly through residents’ efforts.
The Sumner Community Pool is one of the few community pools in Christchurch that has managed to survive the pool-closure mania of the last two decades.

The Sumner Community Pool committee has been outstandingly effective in maintaining and developing their pool. The pool is a hugely popular focus of community activity during the summer months.
