From the editor
The weather gods smiled on Thames Coromandel and the Hauraki districts for the beginning of winter sport for hundreds on the weekend.
The start of the winter sporting season is an opportune time to thank all our wonderful volunteers who give up their time to ensure players enjoy their chosen sport, whether that be on the netball courts, rugby and soccer fields or hockey turf.
Without these dedicated volunteers, so many of our youngsters would simply miss out.
We are all busy - and our time is precious - so when locals do more than their fair share to manage, mentor, coach, umpire or referee - their efforts at trainings, behind the scenes sorting administration tasks, and on game-day, should be acknowledged.
So take a bow all of you - and thanks for all you do

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!
