Welfare Check.

Paul & Agnes from Morrinsville

Big bonus points to Morrinsville & Matamata Police Staff. Called in a welfare check on elderly neighbour whom I had not seen for at least 24 hours (93 yr old). 2 patrol cars arrived and visually checked property. With information I provided, a family member in another town was located, and situation resolved. Thanks to the team for advising me of the satisfactory outcome. Well done.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A gigantic show-stopping bull called Axle, traditional blacksmithing and farriers, and all creatures large and small entertained thousands at the region’s annual A&P show.

The sights, sounds, and the smells of all things rural returned to Claudelands Showgrounds on the weekend as the Waikato A&P Show celebrated the rural way of life.
