Our lead article this week mentions a few things around the Pepe Bridge replacement - from the perspective of remembering the town’s icon.
Tairua Residents and Ratepayers hosted a “One More Jump” event, Tairua Information Centre is selling commemorative tea towels (special deal this week), and Tairua Art Group is working towards a special exhibition of Bridge impressions.

Our lead article this week will hopefully bring some excitement! The Pepe Bridge replacement work is about to start! Check the info to see how the construction may impact you.
Inside, we help Tairua Information Centre launch its new fundraising venture - the Commemorative Pepe Bridge Tea Towel. As an introductory special, the Centre is having a multi-buy deal from 1-8 May. Check out the story on page 3.
A Short & Sweet rounds out the issue - volunteer your time and energy with the Tairua River Trail, attend a Pink Ribbon event, and support our local firefighters in the Sky Tower Challenge.

Our lead article this week is “A Packed ANZAC Weekend,” and it is indeed packed! It may be a busy day for all of us! The Advertiser also includes a reminder that Pauanui’s Pink events are coming up next month, and a follow-up to the lead ANZAC story with a background to the scheduled ANZAC Day commemorative rugby match. Something special for a very special day!

We printed this edition of the Advertiser early (Saturday), expecting power cuts etc on our usual Monday print day. It’s so wonderful to see the sun today!
We pray that you have weathered the storm and are well. Please reach out if you need help.
This issue brings a lead about the Tairua River Trail’s new campaign to help fund the bridge that will span the river. Inside, we talk about the Tairua Music Festival, and a Short & Sweet column has snippets, including a mention about ANZAC Day services and a commemorative rugby game on the afternoon of Saturday 25 April.

Our lead story this week is about proposed ideas being considered by our local council about our rates. You can read about them, and give your feedback, as well as attend community meetings on the subject.
