15 Nov 2013 Rain was threatening all afternoon - so it was a relief to have a balmy (but dry) evening on the lawn of the New Zealand High Commission for the 2013 Tourism Awards. We took a few pix prior to the formalities, which commenced with a speech by Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon on customer care.
During an unscheduled ’intermission’, we proved a popular distraction - special mention to the Wedded Bliss and Pacific Resort Group tables who made the most of their proximity to the booth…

15 Nov 2013 …The evening was catered by the hospitality school. Over mains, Invercargill mayor Tim Shadbolt shared anecdotes on finding the lighter side of any situation.
Once the awards (and champagne) started flowing, the booth was humming - winners keen to commemorate their achievements.
Meitaki to Teresa, Tina, and Alisterfromcookislandscricket for making the booth part of the celebrations.

9 Nov 2013 A highlight of today’s session was the visiting school group from Hawera, here to find out about Cooks culture and present funds toward the rebuilding of Nukutere College and Avatea School. With a bus to catch early morning, it was a case of quick styling and fast pix. We caught up with newlyweds Anita and Keith (+ families), who we first met at our boothday last year. We helped some frequent visitors to the island commemorate their island escape, and also saw Andy whose wedding we filmed last year - back to help run a NZ Defense Force youth development programme.

26 Oct 2013 On the way to ‘work’, Nukutere students were out fundraising for the school rebuild - we’re hoping to help out again with their gala in a few weeks. CNZ Creative Residency recipient, Strike Percussion’s Murray Hickman stopped by to feed Aroko while we fine-tuned the booth - he’ll also be running a few percussion workshops while in the Cooks. We took pix for delegates from the Conference of Pacific Women, cousins, repeat visitors to the island (and the booth), and handed out loyalty cards to regulars.
