Look!!! Our new cover has arrived—and it fits! 🎉
I can’t tell you what a relief that is. Hopefully it helps keep the warmth in and the bugs out from now on.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this happen: Balfour Lions, Ardlussa Community Board, Aotearoa Gaming Trust, and Janette Collins — the real MVPs behind the scenes.
And a special shout-out to Zaynor Mclean for helping with the installation.
How exciting!!! 😄
