Hawke's Bay leg of the national surfing competition at Te Awanga near Hastings.

From wood-chopping champions, the Meat and Wool Cup, or fairground attractions, there was something for everyone on the second day of the Royal A&P show. Hawke's Bay Today photographer Warren Buckland was there to capture the excitement.

Lashings of rain, dumpings of snow and wild waves blasted Hawke’s Bay over the weekend, cancelling some sport games and leaving residents without power. Photographer Paul Taylor braved the elements to capture them.
