Four years ago Michael Llewellyn was working part time at Inglewood primary school as a teachers aide. During his time here in Taranaki he was also working on a body of songs he had hopes of recording into an album.
Michael's time at Inglewood Primary school and the support from Karen and the Community really helped him find the confidence to follow in his dreams. 'I wanted to make my ways to Wellington, put together a band and release an album. My time in New Plymouth was the seed to this growth'.
Soft and bouncy, Michaels expertly crafted songs tell stories of his time spent living beneath the maunga. Releasing 'Oh My Darling', late last year he has since been able to tour the country playing shows and festivals.
Kicking off his first nationwide tour next Saturday, May 14 at the Little Theatre in New Plymouth, Michael Llewellyn with his backing band 'The Darlings' are returning to Taranaki for intimate one night only show 🙂
Tickets to his show, May 14 at the little theatre in New Plymouth can be found here :

Exciting Pump Track Development - Expressions of Interest
Saturday last week of term 1, Morattis delivered us 100 cube (!) of clay - this is to build a PumpTrack! We are going to be constructing the track on the top field near the learners track.
This development is being led by our enthusiastic Crank Crew, Board Members, Chris Dallison and Sarah Lucas and Mrs Patterson.
We already have a few hands going up to help us - and a lovely offer of support from a local digger/loader driver who is going to help us shift the clay into position.
We are working on a final design at the moment - which is going to be exciting and challenging but will also accommodate new riders and those building confidence.
We are looking forward to this community-led development - and now we are asking who wants to jump in and help us.
We need:
Passionate people to help with actual construction - this will involve using buckets, barrows, spades and shovels to shape and pack the track to the design.
Anyone with previous experience in pump track riding, design and construction of bike trails.
If you know of anyone passionate about pump tracks, then shoulder tap them and give them my details!
We will create a working group and plan events to work on the track. Pump track building is a fun, energetic, physical challenge - and we will make sure there are scones and cuppas for all. Come join us and make new friends, get fitter and help us build an epic pump track here in our own community. Our first get together is scheduled for Saturday 28 May 0900-1300 - come along with your enthusiasm and a shovel ready to move some clay.

What is a Pump Track?
A pump track is a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping"—generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing. It develops cardio fitness, muscle strength, risk taking, and best of all - spatial awareness skills and confidence - all while having fun
