Following their 2015 sell-out performances of Sleeping Beauty, Moscow Ballet "La Classique" makes a triumphant return to Australasia with Swan Lake - a spellbinding classical romance.

"The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet."

The most splendid ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score. From the moon-lit lake where elegant swans silently glide to the magnificent opulence of the palace ballroom, Odile, the temptress in a cloud of black tulle, provides a ravishing counterpoint to the purity and innocence of Odette, the beautiful swan Queen. A fairy tale story of a tragic romance. The unrivalled skill and pathos of the famous Moscow Ballet "La Classique" is a visual feast.

See their performance in Invercargill on Friday 28th April 2017 in the Civic Theatre. Click here to book or call 0800 224 224 or (03) 211 1692.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!

Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

Reporter Joanna Griffiths talks to 16-year-old athletics enthusiast Jessica Senior to find out the risks of not using the correct technique when exercising, stretching or competing in sporting events.
As Jessica Senior, 16, let go of the javelin, hurling it through the air, she knew something was not right.
While practising at an athletics club meet in Dunedin in December 2016, two weeks before she was to compete at the National Championships, Jessica strained the ligaments in her arm around her elbow.
