A big thank you to everyone who helped stage last weekend's Spring Home Show at ASB Baypark.

Not only did the show look great, but the whole feel of the event was a credit to everyone who exhibited, and to those who came to see the show.

With more than 7000 people making the effort to get along to see the 180 exhibits, we thank you for your efforts.

And with some remarkable results of show sales already reported, the summer looks bright ahead.

To all our key media partners, Sun Media being one, we thank you again for your support.

We'll be back in 2017 and look forward to working with you then.

To the good people of Tauranga, we thank you all again. We couldn't do it without you.

G Martin, Bay Events.
