We're celebrating 150 years of Waikato Times!
Today marks 150 years of the Waikato Times, of which Hamilton Press is a sister paper.
As part of the celebrations, we've gifted $20K towards the region's new theatre, so Waikato people can enjoy shows in Hamilton.
Read more about the theatre plans here, or about a delivery driver who has been bringing the paper to the people for almost 40 years here.

Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?
It’s “tough” running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.
These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but they’re challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.
Do you go to live music gigs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
