New role at Sport Waikato starts

- By GILLY ALEXANDER

You might notice that Heather has now finished at Sport Waikato and I have begun my role as district co-ordinator.

I have lived in the South Waikato for 21 years and farm at Okoroire with my husband Ross; we have two children who are both heavily involved with sport, especially golf and basketball.

My previous job was sports coordinato­r for the Putaruru Schools Cluster working closely with Sport Waikato. I play tennis and netball and enjoy the fantastic walks around the area. I am looking forward to meeting you all, so feel free to pop into our office on Swanston St in Tokoroa.
