Local g.a.s Station Makes Generous Donation

The owners of Pauanui's popular g.a.s. service station have made a generous donation to Trail funding.

Jeff and Samantha Dumpleton have contributed $1000.00 to the Trail.

"We love to be involved with this great venture," the couple say in an email to Trail Chairman, Gary Fowler.

"We believe this is a fantastic venture, that will benefit our community," Jeff Dumpleton said.

Mr Fowler says the donation is "a wonderful gesture"  made even better coming from a local business.

The Dumpletons have offered  space in the service station shop area for a large notice board that will be used to promote and give information and updates about Trail progress. This will be in place soon.

The service station has already  displayed a petition which sought signatures supporting the Trail. Hundreds of people signed the petition.

The g.a.s. station carries a large selection of bicycles and accessories and also does bicycle repairs.
