Shape of Tasman rugby season to be discussed at meeting

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

The first whistle of Tasman's rugby restart is still a month away but a game plan for the 2020 season is about to be drawn up.

The coronavirus lockdown forced the suspension of rugby at all levels in March, with players and administrators left uncertain over when they could return to the paddock.

However, with the possibility of level three restrictions being lifted in the coming days, discussions around the shape of the remaining season are set to begin.

Tasman Rugby Union chief executive Tony Lewis said work was underway to establish return to play guidelines and event management at the region's grounds, while working with clubs to "work out the best systems" following health guidelines for level two.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
