WELCOME TO ISSUE 36

With winter just around the corner we hope you are still enjoying the autumn climate. In this issue we feature loads of industry news  and great stories. We feature in our Women in Trades section Anna Skerrett who lives in the deep south and works for KiwiRail as a  Rail Operator. Working outdoors in all conditions, she coordinates with different teams to separate wagons and deliver them to  various customers. See her story on page 6.

In our Lifestyle section we look at getting into hunting and where to go with Tim Gale from NZ Game Animal Council. We also have  great pages on recreation with Wellington Rafting and sporting fixtures galore. We also tell you how you can get your 4WD into winter condition before heading out – check out page 28.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Tradie and as always, get in touch if you have any stories of your own to share.
