Beckenham Loop - swing

$155 of $100 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 26 days

I'm raising funds to supply a new rope swing over the Heathcote River, on Waimea Terrace between Corson Ave and Riverview Street.

Canterbury

We have had a swing here on Waimea Terrace for several years and many people have enjoyed it - young and old alike. This time, I want to add a better rope and a robust stainless steel swivel at the top. The swivel alone costs over $60 and I have added in rope, teardrop-links, rope ties, etc. Labour, ladder hire, etc. are all my own effort.

If we are over-subscribed, I would look to put another swing up on Eastern Terrace as well, or put up a platform to protect the river bank.

I want to do this for the people of Beckenham, but I can't afford it on my own at the moment, so I am using this method to fundraise some of the cost involved.
