The Dunedin Amenities Society are again running the Town Belt Traverse, an event that continues to attract many walkers. This year it is on Sunday 16 April 2023.In the past Rotary has been very supportive of this event and has assisted the Society with marshalling at road crossings throughout the length of the walk. These crossing points vary from a short hop across a street to those controlled by a pedestrian crossing, and then two quite major uncontrolled crossings at Drivers Road and Warrender Street. We would envisage marshals being required between 10 am and 1 pm, but typically for two hours at each crossing. The first crossings would have the participants going through from the 10:30 am kick-off to about noon. Conversely, the later crossings would have walkers from, say 11 am to 1 pm.
The Traverse introduces to participants the many benefits the Town Belt has to offer Dunedin and its citizens. It is a family event with many children taking part thereby nurturing an understanding of the asset the Town Belt provides.

Our help will assist this event to be successful and help with a bit of Rotary branding. There is a cup of tea at the end at Willowbank and possibly a sausage.
Yours in Rotary
