New partner for Regent Collection Day

New partner for Regent Collection Day

The Regent Theatre is delighted to announce a new partnership for its 24-Hour Book Sale, with Mainfreight donating the use of a truck and driver.

Each year, between its two fundraising sales, the Regent volunteer team organises a collection day, this year on Sunday 17th April, to collect donations from Dunedin residents from sites around the city. This year, Mainfreight has offered the use of one of its large curtain-sided trucks to collect the donations.

Collection Day co-ordinator Andy Henderson says, “The generosity of this local company is one of the key ingredients of our sales – they really are community events in the broadest sense of the phrase and we are very grateful to Mainfreight for the loan of this truck. It will definitely be easy for people to find us on the day!”

The schedule for collection points on Sunday 17th April is as follows:

- 9am – Countdown, Andersons Bay Road (by the BP)
- 10am – Richardson Street, St Clair
- 11am – Main Street, Green Island
- Noon – Countdown, Mornington
- 1pm – Taieri Road by Wakari Hospital entrance
- 2pm – Fresh Choice, Roslyn
- 3pm – Gardens New World, NEV

Items can also be dropped off the Regent Theatre during usual business hours or to the Roslyn Mill storage facility on Kaikorai Valley Road on Sundays between 10am and noon.

Previously the Regent Collection Day has been supported by Coca-Cola which supplied a truck for the past approximately 30 years. Changes to business processes and driver scheduling needs, means Coca-Cola has, with regret, been unable to offer its truck this year.
