Hold on to events
Regarding the GJ Gardner Homes NZ Beach Tour, congratulations (News, March 19).
What an awesome event which I enjoyed along with my grandchildren.
Yes, there was loud noise at times which added to the event, supported the sponsors and created excitement. My hearing has not suffered as a result.
Sadly, the few people who complain forget that events like this - during the day I might add - bring much-needed revenue into our already struggling economy.
Tauranga needs to hold on to these events because once they have gone, we won't get them back. Time to support the majority.
