What’s On? S.O.S Edgecumbe & Armageddon

It's Sunday, SunLive readers, and I just know you're looking for something to keep yourselves entertained on what could be another wet day.

The MetService is predicting ‘showers, some thundery' this morning, so let's have a buck each way and look at some outdoor and indoor events.

Outside we have the Tauranga Weekend Riders running their S.O.S Edgecumbe Charity Ride. The motorcycle cruise, which is expected to attract hundreds of riders, is all about raising money for people in need after April's flood. The ride itself starts at 11am from Club Mount Maunganui, 45 Kawaka St, and ends at the Te Teko Racecourse at 1.30pm, where riders can enjoy the Oho Ake Rise Up Edgecumbe Concert. Registration for the ride is from 9-11am, so it's not too late to head down and sign up if you've got a motorcycle.

If the weather turns absolutely nasty and you don't feel like getting the Harley out, head along to day two of the Armageddon Expo at ASB Baypark Arena. It's the first time the pop culture and comic festival has been in Tauranga, and there is something for everyone, including cosplay and eating contests, gaming tournaments, anime, film and television merchandise galore, an ice skating arena and laser tag as well as celebrity panels, photographs and signing sessions.

Neither your cup of tea? Well, it's a good thing there are other things on today as well:
