Special Olympics fundraising dinner and auction
Tickets for Te Awamutu’s Special Olympics dinner and auction on Saturday 2 March at Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre are now on sale.
Rugby league super stars Kevin Walters and Glen Lazarus are rallying behind Te Awamutu’s Special Olympics team. The two former Australian internationals have dedicated their time to be guest speakers at the exciting fundraising event.
Proceeds will help offset travelling costs incurred sending Te Awamutu swimming athletes Deshan Walallavita, Portia Johnson and Unity Collins to the World Games in Abu Dhabi in March plus travel expenses for other athletes to attend future events.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
