Refuse to settle for less, know that your perceptions and beliefs are dictating your value system and your priorities and they in turn are dictating how you direct your life. Truth is, you are either actively participating in helping yourself to achieve health and fitness or you are contributing to its neglect. The only thing that matters is what you are actively doing to enjoy the life you are in. So, what are you waiting for?

The loss of any more green space in Tauranga would be devastating.” The masterplans propose relocating some sports and activities. Tauranga commission chairwoman Anne Tolley said she would not be attending any protest meeting because the proposed masterplans were still at a “high level” stage in the process and a business case for the stadium was still being developed. “These assets include the only all-weather athletic track in the Bay of Plenty, and the only speedway that has super saloons and sprint cars in the Bay of Plenty, and the Tauranga Croquet Club, which has been at the Domain for 100 years,” he said. Millennium Track Trust trustee Garth Mathieson said the alliance’s “peaceful protest” was aimed at raising more community awareness of the proposed “destruction” of world-class local and regional assets by the council, which would cost “hundreds of millions of dollars” to replace. The Bay of Plenty Speedway Association, the Tauranga Croquet Club, the Tauranga Millennium Track Trust and the Tauranga Lawn Tennis Club, which have formed an alliance, will be holding a public protest meeting at Tauranga Domain on March 5 from 1pm.
