Nick Willis continues to set records
Is Nick Willis, Lower Hutt's best ever sportsperson? The former Hutt Valley High School athlete, recently ran under four minutes for the mile for the 20th consecutive year.
So is he our greatest athlete? Other sorting greats from the Hutt are cricketers John Reid and Ewen Chatfield, All Black Tana Umaga, softballers Mark Sorenson, Naomi Shaw and Bill Massey, or jockey Jim Cassidy?
Who do you think is our greatest sportsperson?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
