"Absolutely flawless service. Despite flight delays (on a Friday when most people would be thinking of home or going out after work) you were all very welcoming and the process quite simple. I also had to cancel my original booking then set it up again which was dealt with quickly over the phone."

Make sure you get your teams in for the 2012 TeenAg Competition in your region!
For those of you that don’t know what TeenAg is, it is an agricultural skills based competition held at the 7 regional finals around New Zealand for teams of 2 people aged 14-18, with the chance to compete at the 2012 Grand Final TeenAg Competition in Dunedin. The competition is in 2 parts, the Prelims and the Race Off. The Prelims consist of 7 modules, a combination of agricultural and educational challenges, racing against the clock and trying to get as much right as possible so as to score the most points. (Note: these modules are new and the bar has been lifted for the 2012 season).
The top 7 scoring teams from the Prelims go through to the Race Off, which is a race against the other teams to complete a course of quick challenges. The top 3 teams from the race off go through to the Grand Final.
Register your team: (03) 303 3058, or teenag@youngfarmers.co.nz.
Hokitika's iconic Wildfoods Festival is the biggest event on the West Coasts calendar.
Always on the second Saturday in March each year, the festival attracts lively, colourful crowds of up to 15,000 people who come to experience the weird and wonderful food and great entertainment the Wildfoods Festival is renowned for.
Next year is our festivals 21st Birthday and the theme is 'Bring Your Party To Our Party', so 2010 is shaping up to be another great event. Every year we see the weird and whacky costumes that groups come in, so we thought; 'Why not reward the punters by giving out prizes'? So, in 2010 there will be prizes for the best dressed - dust off your nana's clothes or dress up like the movie stars from your favourite film , or your favourite cartoon character . You get the idea - think outside the square - we can't wait to see what you come up with.
We are starting the weekend off with a concert on the Friday night featuring a great headline act, one of NZ's top bands; Elemeno P. Friday night kicks off at 7pm with other support artists. There will be food and drinks available to festival goers.
The Saturday Night Dance is set to finish the weekend off in style kicking off at 8pm. With 4 bands set to rock the night away, this is one evening party not to be missed. Get your tickets now, as at this price tickets will not last!

Direct From New York.
Les Ballets Eloelle are bringing their new production of "Men In Tutus" - the most spectacular, talented and hilarious all-male comedy ballet ever back to New Zealand.
From the thrilling pirouettes of the male dancers (in male and female costumes) with brilliant choreography to the side-splitting humour, Les Ballets Eloelle new show "Men In Tutu’s" is a show designed for the young and old.
The greatest troupe of it is kind around the globe; Les Ballets Eloelle features over fifty ballets in its repertoire and an array of the best international professional male ballet dancers from thirteen nations.
These fine-looking and gorgeous soloists have executed with celebrated ballet companies including New York Ballet, The American Ballet Theatre, the prestigious Royal Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada, The Royal Swedish Ballet, Berlin State Opera Ballet, English National Ballet, Joffrey Ballet and Hong Kong Ballet.
The New York-based Company is led by creative Director and lead dancer Victor Trevino, who was artistic Director and Lead Dancer in 2007 with the hugely successful Australian and New Zealand tour of “Men in Tutus”.
Les Ballets Elolle "Men In Tutus” personifies the elemental parody of both classic and present-day ballet. The combining of magnificent dance proficiency, bantering and clamorous wittiness with designed mannerisms, dance misadventures and naturally outrageous hissy fits by gentlemen role playing both masculine and feminine personas (just about all of the gentlemen act, and in reality appear like beautiful ladies, although others are furry-chested adult males with flapcake make-up but all stylish in tights and tutus), and dancing on perfect Pointe.
“Men in Pink Tutus” produces bang-up amusement and LOL “Lough Out Loud” family entertainment for all. Be truly amazed.
"Artistically brilliant, absolutely hilarious". - New York Post
"Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant". - New York Daily Times
"It is not a drag show, but a brilliant artistic and comical send up of the world of dance". - USA Today
