Send Bex to represent Aotearoa New Zealand in the Olympics!
Originally inspired by the movie The Hunger Games, Bex first picked up a recurve archery bow 5 1/2 years ago, she fell in love with the sport from day 1 and is now on the journey of her life.
She has represented Archery New Zealand at international competitions over the years. In April this year she won the female cadet recurve target event and the division 1 female recurve matchplay at Trans Tasman in Morwell, Australia. Bex followed this up in July by winning the female cadet recurve target event, the Oceania Commonwealth Championship female recurve and the Continental Qualifying Tournament at Oceania Championships in New Caledonia.
Now is Bex's time as she continues to excel in achieving top results whilst representing New Zealand on the international stage. She has both short and long term goals to represent New Zealand.
The web link, on the right, provides a detailed account of some of the highlights she has achieved this year alone.
Bex has put a lot of hard work into her training over the last few years and this is now paying off with her dreams of representing New Zealand becoming a reality. This page has been set up for anyone wishing to support Bex as she continues to chase her dreams.
Funds raised will be used for travel to international competitions, airfares, accommodation and entry fees.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
