Hi <<First Name>>
Wahine Tū, Wahine Toa! That's the call we're putting out over the next six weeks as we encourage wahine from across the Bay of Plenty to leap into spring and try a new physical activity.
It's all part of our annual Spring Starter Series of beginner-level and low-cost activities for women lacking the confidence to try a new sport or recreational activity. So if you know a wonder woman keen to get active but needing a bit of support, then tell her to check out the Spring Starter Series!
Until next time,
The Sport Bay of Plenty team
