Poll: Old Kopu bridge - yay or nay?

Reporter Hauraki Herald

It's been six years since the new bridge at Kopu was opened and nothing's been done about the old one. Coromandel MP Scott Simpson thinks it's an eyesore and must go, however, the group trying to save it say it's an historic structure and must stay. Where do you stand? ***Write NFP (not for print), if you don't want your comments to be used in print***

You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.

A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.

Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.

Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
