The damage to our turfs at Porritt Park is catastrophic, as most of you will have seen through the media or perhaps by a walk about visit. Fortunately due to the more stable underlying ground at Nunweek and Marist parks those turfs were only slightly affected. There is a uniting strength in that we each experienced the ferocity of the event and know only too well through our own personal difficulties or those of friends and family the hurdles we face in recovery. am asked often hat is happening with Porritt Park , and can say that we are investigating all possibilities. our Canterbury Hockey Association Board, the executive staff and the Canterbury Artificial Surfaces Trust CAST are all working with utmost haste and diligence to replace the lost turfs as uickly as possible. There are many challenges in achieving the best outcome for Canterbury hockey and assure you all that this is paramount in all we do. am hugely relieved and grateful that CAST have commenced the construction of the second pitch at Nunweek well ahead of schedule. This pitch is now scheduled for completion around late February. This will provide us with three artificial pitches at the start of the 2011 season, the same as for the start of the 2010 season. ou may be aware that we had indicated in the Christchurch City Council’s LTCCP long term community council plan we need five full si ed pitches to be near optimal capacity to suit our current playing numbers. The replacement of the Porritt pitches will provide that. n the mean time we will need to adapt to suit the limited turf availability and the Board ask the cooperation and understanding of the hockey community in this respect. Our financial position has been favourable again this year under tight management, which as our CEO reports has placed us in the favourable position of being able to move ahead uickly in assisting with the costs of Nunweek 2. e have also been able to
