Bowater Honda goes to the Richmond Mall to be in the centre of it all!
Yesterday we took the all new 2012 Honda Jazz S out for a lunch date to the Richmond Mall to check in with Bowater Honda salesman Nick Devereux who was out there letting the good folks of Richmond all about the brand new Honda Euro Civic Hatch.
It was a lovely day for a drive, with an afternoon of rare sunshine, so the quick trip out to Richmond took a detour via Tahunanui Beach for a wee photo shoot in the sun and sand. Click here to take a look at some of the action and learn more about the all new 2012 Honda Jazz.
The Honda Jazz is quite a stunner in the colour range available, today we drove the Fresh Lime Green model. We certainly got stopped to talk about it as we took photos in the car park, the general consensus from those that took the time to chat was that this colour is a total winner! Everyone could not believe how much space was in the back as well - this little car is quite deceptive in that regard. Check out the Jazz page to see just how much you can fit into a jazz - it is quite impressive!
The mall was busy, lunchtime on a Friday is peak times, so Nick had his hands full talking to interested locals about the brand new 2012 Honda Euro Civic Hatch - it is a very European looking car and makes quite a statement.
Bowater Honda plants more trees at Tahunanui's Back Beach
Today Bowater Honda held another successful Honda TreeFund tree planting day at the back beach of Tahunanui Beach as a part of the council's sand dune recovery programme.
To date Bowater Honda has provided over $70,000 worth of funding for over 13,500 trees which have been planted on Tahunanui Beach, in Appleby, the Moutere and on Haulashore Island.
Today the team from Bowater Honda, along with some dedicated local customers, turned up at the "Raised Carpark" on the Back Beach Road to literally plant a truck load of trees into the sand dunes to aid in the sand dune recovery.
As one of the local customers commented "it is a whole lot easier planting trees in the sand than in the Moutere clay!", referencing a previous Bowater Honda TreeFund Tree Planting Day.
The planting day is a result of Honda’s unique TreeFund initiative. Passionate about restoring bio-diversity, Honda developed TreeFund as an opportunity for customers to become involved in the greening of their own local community and to encourage the planting of native flora. With 13 native trees planted for every new car sold, Honda has been funding tree plantings nationally since 2004, and to date over half a million trees have been planted around the country.
Honda TreeFund Planting Day
We are very excited to announce that Bowater Honda are conducting another Honda TreeFund Planting Day on Wednesday 19th September from 10am - 12pm at the Raised Carpark at Tahunanui Beach.
This is the first carpark on the right as you drive past the Skating Rink on the way to the back beach. Just drive down the back Beach Road and look for the Nelmac trucks, and the Honda sign written vehicles. You don't need to bring anything other than a great attitude and a caring community spirit. If you have a favourite spade bring that along too!
The Raised Carpark is at the very north of this map - the car park from which the Kite Surfing is normally based. We would love to see as many community minded locals down here as we can get.
