Hello everyone
All of us on the Green Apple team hope you are managing to cope with any situation you may be in due to Cyclone Alfie.
I have been following absolutely everything today on all news outlets to be able to come to a decision regarding what we need to do tomorrow, Monday, March 10.
I have left it this late to send you an email because I have been living in hope we would be able to provide the necessary services to you all.
I have now decided that we will need to wait till Tuesday to open the Centre, and even then there may be conditions we must consider.
Bottom-line, we have no power and there is no hope it will come on before tomorrow morning. The roads leading to Green Apple are flooding and actually getting here, for both staff and members, will be a challenge if not impossible.
The big waterproof sail over the Courtyard at the back of the Centre has been ripped and collapsed and Brian, with John’s help, has rigged up an interim “ceiling”. We will make-do with this until we can get another sail custom-made.
The pool needs attention and we hope to have it ready for Aqua on Tuesday however the temperature of the water will be the challenge.
We know we are well off in comparison to so many people who have been in direct line of the cyclone so we have just been getting on with anything we can to be able to have you all onsite again.
So apologies to those of you who are really keen to come in on Monday. We will not be able to open that day however we will be doing everything we can to be ready for Tuesday.
We are missing you!
Keep safe,
Victoria and Brian
