The facilities need better upkeep, organized social sports league for people who live in the plett central community and junior coaching programs for youth develop. Field is has great potential to be a world class faculty and we can make it happen under the correct guidance of professionals

Because I would like to play sport with Sticks and Balls on the field designated for my community. I pay tax for the upkeep of this venue and expect to use it.

I believe the field is for the community

Sticks and balls Its helped meand so many others make friends and feel apart of this community. Yet the person in charge of said "community field" is stopping us from playing.
Also I cant understand why a 60/70 year old is in charge of the sports field. He looks like he would have a heart attack just looking at a ball. Its time for the people playing to have a voice! And for a younger generation to vibe up Plett.
This old man needs to go back where he belongs....in his old age home on his Lay-z boy watching the rugby not in charge of who can play it!

It is only fair that the entire community gets to use the fields.

Carmen Van Der Westhuizen (Plettenbergbay, 2020-10-21)

A community field is for the community. One old man who attempted to prevent play on some personal vendetta should seriously not be in charge, I simply can not understand why 1man is in charge of a community field. The said individual has failed to maintain the field, the cricket nets are shocking the field was cut by the community. When I have seen people play rugby (which is once in a blue moon) there are no lines, no 22 meter yard, nothing. Yet one individual refuses to allow the use of the community field after the community cut the lawn and did the field up. Beyond pathetic, selfish and out right cruel. There is a certain place for these people and they most definitely do not belong in a place that holds power over others.

Sports is a great way to motivate people to be active and healthy

Sport is good, it keeps us sane. A team sport is even better! Please allow us to use it.

Saskia Hopff (Plettenberg Bay, 2020-10-21)

I love sport so much it make me so happy. Especially to be apart of a team and share comradeship

Layla Heyns (Plett, 2020-10-21)

Sport is an integral part of community development. It brings people together of all ages and race and allows us all to have fun in a good and healthy way. Plett needs more of this and what Sticks and Balls sports academy has managed to do to build community spirit through sport is fantastic for our town and the youth that are involved. Being an old local I remember as a kid watching my parents play sport on this field And it’s time that this happens again by making it available to all that are dedicated to making sport a part of our community again

Natasha Pells-Gibson (Plettenberg Bay, 2020-10-21)

This is an excellent letter to Bitou Municipality. All of Plett should support this.

Tessa van Schaik (Plettenberg Bay, 2020-10-22)

I do not recognize the sports council.

John Poluta (Plett, 2020-10-22)

Only children should get away with not wanting to share their toys.

Clinton Walker (Plettenberg Bay, 2020-10-22)

I support sticks and balls sport academy, in the thier efforts to bring sport back to the community.

My son plays soccer and his squad has no access to the public fields

Cause the field is for the community

Warren Samuel (Plett, 2021-02-25)

#44

We need community sport.

Luke Ochse (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-02-26)

#45

I agree with the statement and action should be taken

Dylan Annandale (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-02-26)

#46

The gross biase in the use and dedication of a public sports field is a collosal waste of rate payers' money. The fields are to be used in accordance with local community interest.

Michael-John Grobler (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-02-26)

#47

Kids and adults have the right to use the facility. It is a public space and should be run properly.

Carmen Branch (Stormsrivier, 2021-02-26)

Sticks and balls deserve to use the facilities

Alexander Auerpserg (Plettenberg bay, 2021-02-27)

This is the right thing to do in a democratic society.

Jane Twine (Plettenberg bay, 2021-03-01)

I want to get back to playing social league sport, to improve my skill and fitness level.

Darryn Marshall (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-03-01)

I play in the football leagues here in plett as do almost 400 other people, it's been great for the community in plett and gets people active and playing team sports, everybody loves it besides the +- 30 people who play rugby and cricket, sticks and balls has brought so many people young and old together through their program and doesn't make any sense to have the rugby and cricket people make the decisions, I mean the sticks and balls leagues cater to around 10 x the amount of people that the rugby and cricket bring to the field, on top of that sticks and balls have done more for the field and community in plett in the last year than the rugby and cricket have in all their time being around

Michael Carreira (Plett, 2021-03-02)

#57

I agree

Nick Kennedy (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-03-05)

#59

My child plays soccer and should be allowed to use the field

The current management of the facility is sub standard and access is not provided on an equitable basis for the Plett community.

Dave Kirkby (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

#62

I’m signing this petition as I think it’s only fair for Plett’s public sporting field to be used for multiple sporting events other than just rugby. This must be used to keep our locals happy and fit as well as allowing kids to play sport here to keep them from trouble elsewhere.

James Fermor (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

We have bought a property in the area and moved here permanently. Both my sons are primary age and love soccer and are participating in soccer three times a week. There aren’t any facilities available to Sticks and Balls to use and develop sports. It seems crazy that there is a field to use that they aren’t allowed to use to develop local children’s talents. Please consider all ages in the use of facilities.

Iris Steyn (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

Sticks and balls has helped a lot of our local kids achieve in Sports.
A lot of kids have done very well through this academy.
There is no any other Sports facilities except for them.

Wendy Matsigila (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

This is a community field that is being run for the benefit of only a select few. Give the field back to Plett community and allow it to be used to it's full potential!

Josie Du preez (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

I'm signing because both my girls have benefited from the hockey and soccer leagues.

Debbie Morris (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

This initiative is so valued and appreciated for the kids in Plettenberg Bay.

Tanya McCarthy (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

I’m signing because I do not accept that one person within one sport discipline should be able to control and manipulate the activities and facilities of the Bitou Sports field. This is a community sporting facility not a one man operated facility.

Gavin Shrosbree (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

It's It's right the to do

Jarryd preez (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

The rugby field is under-utilised and should be used and made available to all sports and organisers in the local neighbourhoods.

James Thom (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

I’m signing because I use to use this field and it was always great fun the owner of s&b did a great job setting up the league and it’s a shame the sports council are against him

Mohamed Nasser (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-15)

I'm signing because my 12 year old son plays in Soccer Leagues and currently we have to travel all the way to Bahia Formosa Primary School 3x a week.

Craig Wight (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-15)

The Plett Community Sports Field is a public space and should be available to all children who play Club Sports.

Erika Healy (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

#103

I agree on above

Hanlie Sinclair (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

#105

I used these fields growing up to exercise and play sports with my friends which helped develop my sporting abilities and helped me through tough times as It was a place to go, and forget about the troubles in the world and enjoy sport and not have a worry while training and being around my friends.

Peter Kirby (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-16)

#106

Im signing as I believe that all sporting clubs should be allowed to use this public facility. We are a community who should stand & work together, help keep our youth active who take part in all field activities etc.

Melissa Janse Van Rensburg (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

#109

I want stick & balls back on the field more for young players and for the community

I believe there should be fair and equitable access to these sports fields

Julian Moore (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-16)

#112

The field should be better run so that as many people as possible can benefit from these public grounds.

Lucinda Mudge (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-16)

With other locals I've tried to transform "the Rugby Field into a state of the art sport facility, financed,managed and maintained by a school and with free acces for Plett residents. Drawings are there, laywer letters and contracts are there and deliverd to the municipality several times. In nummerous meetings the municipality (mayors, municipality managers, etc) it was said they loved the idea and they even changed the zoning but did nothing to re-organise the management from Chris Fereira to the school. Pretty sure the blockage is in the middle management of the municipality.

Harry Brouwers (Zeist, 2021-09-16)

I support this petition

Angela Poluta (Plett, 2021-09-16)

Public facility should be accessible to all of the public

lloyd wallace (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

#120

I'm am signing because there is no good reason to deny kids access to a public park and the rugby club seems to be abusing it's position.

Stuart Thomson (Plett, 2021-09-16)

Where is the harm in letting people play sport? It’s a community field so let’s treat it like one!

Eloise Young (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

My family wants to use these fields. Part of sticks and balls programme

Rory Wallace (Plett, 2021-09-16)

#132

The rugby fields are completely under utilised. By allowing other sports and sporting companies to use the field in a responsible manner, many more can enjoy said fields and create a great community spirit.

Deanne Roberts (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

I want to play 7v7 football again

Sesona Morose (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-16)

Our access to the local public sports facilities is being withheld. How is this democratic? This feels discriminatory, unfair and is a flagrant misuse of my tax money

Kerese Thom (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-17)

#138

I fully support the above. The community sports fields should be made available to all sports and not just Rugby.

Justine Campbell (Knysna, 2021-09-17)

#139

I support the cause which is being discussed.. Everyone should be allowed to use this community field.

Randall Daries (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-17)

#140

I'm signing because I do not agree with the monopolised management of the Sports Field by Chris Ferreira and Co. ...this Sports Field is for the residents of Plett...not just a select sport or sporting body or group.

Michael Parsons (plettenberg bay, 2021-09-17)

I believe the community should have equal access to this public resource.

Charles Roberts (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-18)

#147

I think we need to be consistent as to what is allowed at sports fields. I think if there are new year parties then a 5 five a side league should definitely be permitted. for kids and adults, male and female. The club house is old we need new toilets as they are disgusting and these business can add value as to put these infrastructure in .

jess Robinson (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-18)

I think the children should have access to the fields.

This is a public facility meant for the use of all

Ryan Bruton (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-20)

I believe the sport field should be for use to the public for sporting games that are managed and controlled by registered businesses or clubs.

Beverley Van Schoor (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-21)

This is public property and we all have the rights to use it

Yael Katz (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-21)

Makes sense to use an existing sports ground in the area that is conveniently located in a residential area and easy for the children to access

Kira Primo (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-21)

#157

My kids would like to use the field for sport

Benita Bester (Plettenberg au, 2021-09-21)

#161

I’m signing because the sports field belongs to the community so everyone must have chance to use it.

Benjamin Mazeka (Plettenberg bay, 2021-09-21)

I use the field and agree with the need for fair usage

Caleb van Graan (Knysna, 2021-09-22)

My children and all other children from this Community have the right to healthy sports training on our Community rugby field!!

Jacqui Botha (Plettenberg Bay, 2021-09-27)

#194

It is the right of the community to be able to use the community facilities provided. As part of sporting leagues,both ourselves and our children should be able to utilise the sporting fields provided to the community for this purpose.

Nadine Myron (Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, 2021-09-28)

It is a 'community' sports field and should remain so.
