October 2023 saw a changing of the guard with the founders stepping back, selling the paper to kiwi ex-pat Nicola Morris.
Nicola’s experience of the NZ outdoors started very young living a dream childhood which involved tramping, hunting and road trips around the country to set up camp and sample the local fishing , hunting and general outdoors.
Years overseas in China and South America highlighted to Nicola the importance of the outdoors lifestyle – for recreation, for enjoyment, for food on the table and for general well being.
Back home now in Martinborough – living in a log cabin – Nicola enjoys cooking up fresh produce for friends , enjoying all that the Wairarapa has to offer and thinking up new ideas.
Lynda Balfour lives on a sheep and beef property with her husband, and 3 sons, in Pongaroa. She loves the great outdoors – fishing, mountain-biking and walking. She also enjoys playing squash, and a glass of wine.
Lynda’s background includes advertising sales in the Wairarapa, farming in New Zealand and Tasmania and a stint as a bank manager.
She can help you with all your advertising queries and with a background in hunting, fishing and farming is well placed to talk about how best to market your business or products.
