Fuel prices

Juliet McGhie Reporter from Rodney Times

After a school holiday trip with the family to Rotorua we noticed a huge discrepancy between fuel prices (in Rotorua it was $2.11 for 91 octane and in Silverdale $2.43) What is your local service station charging? And what do you think about these high prices? And how do you keep driving costs … View moreAfter a school holiday trip with the family to Rotorua we noticed a huge discrepancy between fuel prices (in Rotorua it was $2.11 for 91 octane and in Silverdale $2.43) What is your local service station charging?

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.
