Good morning, SunLive readers, and welcome to another full-on Sunday.

It's officially autumn now, and those getting up early in the morning may be starting to feel a nip in the air.

That being said, today's forecast high is for 23 degrees, so no need to fish out the cardigans just yet.

For those interested in the emergency services, today is a great day to get up close with our local heroes. For those who want to find out more about our local police, they're holding an open day at the Tauranga station from 10am-12pm.

The day is part of a nationwide opening of police stations.

Bay of Plenty District Commander, Superintendent Andy McGregor, says it will enable police to connect with local communities and will be a good chance for people to get a glimpse of a potential career path.

'There will be a number of activities on display during the day to give a real insight into the job we do,” says Superintendent McGregor, 'including displays from the Armed Offenders squad, police dog teams and staff from specialist teams including road policing, youth and CIB.

'We'll also have staff on hand at both events who can talk to and provide advice and information to anyone considering policing as a career.”

Coinciding with this is the Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter 2018 open day, from 10am-2pm, at Tauranga Hospital.

Spokesperson Nadine Rogers says: 'We host this event at our hangar every year. The community are able to come and see inside the hangar and get the chance to see the helicopter and meet the crew.”

The day involves demos, competitions and a barbecue and Nadine says it's often quite popular.

The Tauranga Ulysses Motorcycle Club will also be arriving at the hospital just before midday to deliver toys as part of their annual toy run. Riders will leave Papamoa Plaza at 11am, with all motorcyclists who want to take part invited to come along and sign up before then for just $10. Proceeds will go towards the Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter and St John.
