Good morning Sunners,

It's promising to be an action-packed Sunday today as we head to Greerton for the annual Arms and Militaria Show.

We hope to explore display tables of all kinds of military firearms, books, medals, uniforms and other collectables on show at Greerton Hall.

Tauranga Arms and Militaria Show is at Greerton Hall on Sunday from 9am-3pm. Entry costs adults 13-plus $5 and under-12s free.

We're also seeing red today as the Labour Party's Big Red Bus arrives in town.

The bus is touring around the Bay of Plenty, starting at Bethlehem Town Centre at 11.30am.

It will roll on to Welcome Bay Hall for the BOP candidates meeting before travelling to Te Puke later today.
