THE Tuatapere Axemen’s Athletic Society turned on a cracker day for their annual sports day at the Tuatapere domain last week.

“It was a good day for all at the sports,” Tuatapere Axemen’s Athletic Society president Peter Templeton said.

The Tuatapere community’s 109th sports day saw competitors participate in numerous events, including athletics, claybird shooting, Highland dancing and bushcraft.

Mr Templeton said the bushcraft had a huge following this year, with axemen from Wales, Switzerland, Australia and America joining local axemen.

Mr Templeton thanked all the sponsors for their support of the event.
