Ms Lett started as a cadet reporter at the Register just over three years ago. She was highly respected and worked on a number of sections in the paper.

Her most recent role was heading up the sports department, where she gained a strong following from clubs along the South Coast.

“I really value everyone who I worked with especially in the sporting community who I want to thank for their help and support,” she said.

“I’ll miss dealing with you all and seeing you out on the field.”

Damian McGill will be editing the sports section over the next few months – a move Ms Lett thought the sporting community would approve of.

“They all know and love Damian, I’m sure they will be really happy,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know a new community and embracing them and, besides, Ulladulla is not too far away.

“Thanks to the team at the Register for all your help and support over the last three years. 

“I’ve totally loved it. It’s such a great job and I was really lucky to get a job in my local community,” she said.
