an option we decided on on developing the swamp next doo (FTC section).
There used to be a number of flax bushes growing in the where a couple
of underground springs contributed to the swamp. Every year a number of
wild ducks used to nest in amongst the flax bushes, great breeding ground
the only thing lacking was a maimai. At that time a big hole was being
excavated in Ward St for the underground card for the Govt. Life building.
An approach to Brian Perry the contractor excavating the hole that he
could save money on removal of the coarse sand ,instead of carting it out
Glenview they dump it on this section. When they had fished the pile was as
high as a house and stretched from Collingwood St to the base of the hill.
He then provided a grader and completed the leveling ready for parking.
Total cost, a couple of beers. A year later FTC decided to sell this section
which we bought for $110,000. A year later we sold the front hald to a
developer fror $100,000, cost present car section $10,000.
Following on the section was sold to an ex Waikato rugby player who was
the developer. He paid a deposit of 25% balance pa10 months down the
track. Because of the foundation of the section he could only get a permit
to build single story buildings. One of the buildings was almost completed
by the due date for the balance of payment on the section. I had heard on
BLAST FROM THE PAST
Anzac Day: The current commemorations bring back memories of the
Club’s Dawn Parade support during the 1960’s and 70’s. The Club would
open at 5.30am serve drinks(rum and milk) more drinks and breakfast upon
their return. I landed the job during the 70’s with usually a contingent of 10
to 20 returned World War 2 veterans. Breakfast was very and my cooking
skills not great. It was prepared and cooked downstairs consisting of toast,
spaghetti, baked beans and the occasional poached egg thrown in for good
measure. This of course all happened before the extensions to the Club.
My main concern had I remembered to get enough milk. Many and varied
were the stories that floated around, one of my favorites which I heard
many times and always had a variation. This member was flying a DC3
across the jungles of Indonesia and was shot down making a crash landing
in a river. He then hid in the tops of the trees along the river while the
Japanese soldiers searched for him for 2 days. I checked out this story, this
member was stationed in the UK during the war and flew transport planes
between the UK and Europe. never did see the medal he got for that piece
of bravery.
