Kind gesture to replace stolen seat<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A STOLEN SEAT will be<br />
replaced using funds donated by<br />
a disbanding community group.<br />
Shoreline Toastmasters has<br />
donated money to replace a<br />
memorial seat stolen early this<br />
month.<br />
A macrocarpa wooden seat<br />
with a brass plaque used to sit<br />
at Windsurfer’s Reserve off<br />
Humphreys Rd, Bromley.<br />
It was there<br />
in memory<br />
of Kevin<br />
O’Connor and<br />
Les Batcheler,<br />
founding<br />
Les<br />
Batcheler<br />
Kevin<br />
O’Connor<br />
members of<br />
the Avon-<br />
Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust.<br />
The trust,<br />
with the former<br />
Combined<br />
Estuary<br />
Association,<br />
spent about a<br />
year arranging<br />
for the seat to be<br />
installed.<br />
News the seat was stolen<br />
reached Shoreline Toastmasters<br />
as it prepared to disband due to<br />
the impact of Covid-19.<br />

the group had reduced to “below<br />
a functional number” and would<br />
wind up after 26 years.<br />
One of the founding members<br />
read about the theft and<br />
suggested the club used some of<br />
its remaining funds to pay for a<br />
new bench.<br />
“The committee thought this<br />
was a great idea.”<br />

The seat<br />
would cost<br />
about $400, she<br />
said.<br />
The trust<br />
will buy a<br />
new brass<br />
plaque, but the<br />
Tanya Jenkins wood will be<br />
donated by the<br />
Christchurch City Council.<br />
The seat would be built by<br />
volunteers from the Linwood<br />
Menz Shed.<br />
THOUGHTFUL:<br />
Shoreline Toastmasters,<br />
which is disbanding,<br />
has offered to replace a<br />
memorial seat which was<br />
stolen earlier this month. <br />
“They have kindly offered<br />
to make the seat up again,<br />
which is a big job actually.<br />
We’re going to give them a koha<br />
(donation) for doing that,” Ms<br />
Jenkins said.<br />
No one had come forward<br />
with any information about the<br />
whereabouts of the stolen seat,<br />
she said.<br />
Nonetheless, the trust received<br />
a lot of reaction from people<br />
saying the theft was “shocking,<br />
disappointing and gutting”.<br />
