Good news from SWOP who have announced they will be opening another store in Hamilton East later this year. They say it’s thanks to the ongoing love and support they've received from the Raglan community that they’re able to expand.
The new store will be called Made Market and will showcase the region’s best local producers of fruit and veg, meat, seafood, baked goods, coffee, wine and more.
And Te Mata Residents will be pleased to know that their long awaited recycling drop off depot is opening later this week. The old site by the school is being cleaned up with a replacement fence and later in the week the new site on the corner of Te Hutewai Rd & Te Mata Rd will be up and running provided the bad weather doesn’t mess things up. The new site will be served 3 days a week.
In local sport, the New Zealand Junior Surf team has been announced and it includes three surfers from Raglan, more than any other area in the country. The team is:
Under 18 Boys – Navryn Malone (Rag), Spencer Rowson (Tara), Kalani Louis (Tara)
Under 18 Girls – Tayla Green (Aus), Anna Brock (Mnt), Pia Rogers (WGM)
Under 16 Boys – Alexis Owen (Dun), Tao Mouldey (Mnt), Theo Morse (Rag)
Under 16 Girls – Alani Morse (Rag), Leia Millar (Piha), Lola Groube (Pau)
They’ll be competing in the ISA World Junior Surfing Championships later in the year.
And while Maya Mateja narrowly missed out making the team she did come away from the recent Grom event in Gisborne with the Sequence Surf Shop Pro Biggest Manoeuvre Award for the U16 girls.
