The Games are
over for another four years, now we can get some sleep. Most of our Olympic books have gone out
on issue already, but all is not lost! For those still doing
assignments, and others
New Zealand is

Here in Hastings we are particularly proud of our girls -
now double Olympic Gold Medalists,
Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell.
