We are a married couple in our early 40s and moved here from Auckland in April. We enjoy catching up for coffee, a drink and meals out. We are both movie buffs as well. Here for a new start and as such most of our friends and family are not close by, so we are pretty much starting from scratch socially. We are looking forward to meeting new friends here.

I'm your new Rotorua Review editor, and I can't wait to start engaging with the communities that make up this wonderful part of the North Island.
This week, I take over the reins from my Waikato communities colleague Nicola Brennan-Tupara, and I'm delighted to be working alongside senior reporter Benn Bathgate.
Together, we aim to bring you a great community read every week, keeping our communities up to date with events, local faces and people stories and everything you've come to expect from the fabulous Rotorua Review - in print and online.
I'd love to hear from readers on what they'd like to see more of, and less of, in their weekly paper.

Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.
