Sorry everyone for the radio-silence! 

With the South Island Champs 2026 presented to you by Team James & Hannah of Ray White Invercargill, and a trip to the NZ Open 2026 in Albany, Auckland; there was a bit much pickleball to play, and I got on the back foot with all the comms.

The Southland Murihiku show is back on, though!<https://tinyurl.com/SIChamps2026>
