Red Bull Flugtag comes to Auckland: Rules, prizes, how to enter and where to watch

Mina Kerr-Lazenby Reporter from Community News

Come November 27, teams of brave inventors will hurl themselves off an Auckland pier and into the waters below, all in the name of Flugtag.

It’s a welcome return to New Zealand for the Red Bull Flugtag competition, which last graced our shores in 2004 when it was hosted in Wellington.

The competition will see amateur aviators design, build and then fly contraptions in a bid to be crowned winner.

The thousands of people set to descend upon Wynyard Quarter to see the event are likely to keep business booming for local hospitality hotspots.

For the full story, see below.

Online Kitchen Design Experience

Bonnie from Panmure

I am trying to gauge whether busy mums who have kitchen idea boards overflowing, busy schedules and can't visualise their space, would be interested in an online bespoke kitchen design experience?
Resulting in 3d visuals and plans so they can get 3 quotes from manufacturers to get the best deal in town.
Would love some feedback.

AVAILABILITY

If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that. If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.

ABOUT ME
I’m retiring late-June and am currently planning my van fit-out before heading off to finish hiking the rest of the great walks and Bikepacking wherever. I currently work full time as a Documentation Specialist for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds, clean pools…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘loved and lived in’.
