Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Kia ora fellow nature lovers,

Navigating Nature educates and collaborates with locals on plastic waste in Indonesia and they need your likes to continue.
www.facebook.com...

I would like to introduce you to Matt and Nadine who are behind Navigating Nature. They are two friends of mine who are bringing a research vessel from Australia to the Caribbean and along the way have been organising trips to schools (mostly in Indonesia) to educate children about the issues plastic cause in the environment and how to prevent that. They educate adults too and organise beach and river clean-ups with locals. They have been doing this amazing work for months and pay for most of it out of their own pockets. All they would like from you is to give their facebook page a like, share it or follow them on Instagram. They hope more followers might lead to possibilities for sponsorship.

Ideally we would keep their projects afloat by making them go viral ;) .

Every like and follower counts. www.facebook.com...

PS: Have a look on their page it is so awesome to read about their amazing and inspiring work!

Hi Waikato,

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.

The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.

So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
