While spirits can sometimes seem a little low in our town, with a lot of indecision and confusion over issues, there are still many positive people out there keeping the town moving. New facilities, packed social evenings and sports aimed at enjoying our unique part of New Zealand are what we need to keep in mind, not the negative.

That way we can see all is not lost and together we can strive towards a bigger, better community. So our front page is in respect to those who keep positive and contribute time and/or money to making Picton a fantastic place to live!
