It started with a packed out Les Munro Centre watching international shearing – and Wales celebrating a test win over New Zealand – continued through the weekend with world class shearing, a prime ministerial visit and the running of the sheep through Te Kūiti’s town centre. The national shearing champs in town even garnered some national publicity after some of the sheep finished their run down Rora Street by popping into a liquor store before going home. We look back on a great weekend. More stories page 2,3, and 28.
