Seasonal sickness is seeing a drop in numbers at Tauranga's AIMS games.
The week-long sporting event for 11 to 13-year-olds has been canned for the past three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but is going ahead this week.
AIMS Games Tournament Director Kelly Schischka told Mike Hosking at their peak they had around 11,500 attendees.
“We’re at sort of 10,840-odd this year. Schools have been really hammered by winter illness, so we’ve had a few drop out along the way.”
