We're celebrating 150 years of Waikato Times!

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Today marks 150 years of the Waikato Times, of which Hamilton Press is a sister paper.

As part of the celebrations, we've gifted $20K towards the region's new theatre, so Waikato people can enjoy shows in Hamilton.

Read more about the theatre plans here, or about a delivery driver who has been bringing the paper to the people for almost 40 years here.
