PS ... From the newsroom

It may just be a good idea to stay a little closer to home this long weekend, as South Canterbury looks set to miss the bad weather forecast for the rest of the country. There are plenty of other reasons to stay here with the Timaru and Temuka markets, a Family Fest, the South Canterbury Spring Car Rally, and the 50th birthday of Pleasant Point’s Railway all on. Enjoy. editor@timaruherald.co.nz
