Poll: Have you ever been in Hamilton's Christmas parade?
Santa’s sleigh will still roll through Hamilton this December — but for the first time, community groups will need to pay to be part of the parade.
Organisers of the First Credit Union Christmas Parade have introduced a $50 entry fee for groups wanting to put a float on show, alongside a $300 charge for businesses. Schools will still be able to enter free.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
