Hawkes Bay Today.
Dear Sir
Re Proposed International Hockey Centre at the Hawkes Bay Regional Stadium
I was absolutely delighted to read an article about the above in a recent publication. This new facility will be a real asset to Hawkes Bay.
I am the principal at Frimley Primary School in Hastings and if I went back ten twelve years ago we used to field up to six hockey teams every Saturday.
Other Hastings Primary Schools all had hockey teams and a very healthy competition was run. Over the last three years we have had none.
Primary School Hockey in Hastings is dead. The major reason being the requirement to have to travel to Park Island to play.
For young children parents prefer to choose a sport which is close at hand.
Consequently the numbers of children playing soccer, rugby and netball as their preferred winter sport has increased and hockey is no longer a viable option for younger children.
I am also very concerned about the increased negativity that keeps coming out of Napier whenever improving Sporting Facilities is discussed.
I would like to ask them why Napier Girls High School bussed all of their students over to the Frimley Aquatic Centre to hold their annual swimming sports. It was another day that we were unable to use the local facility that is approx two hundred metres away.
I wish the H.B. Regional Sports Park Trust every success in its endeavours to provide International Class facilities for the region. Please dont just stop with hockey, think of tennis, cycling and swimming as well.
Hawkes Bay has always had the potential to be the Sports Capital of New Zealand, but unfortunately for years it has had an anchor.
Perhaps the time has come to cut the rope and just let the negative drift or better still bang their heads together.
As a region we need to get down and do some regional strategic planning around sports facilities.
Hawkes Bay will never be a leader while we have the councils pulling in opposite directions. They all need to be in the same canoe the sooner the better for the sake of all of us.
