tasman man 11 979 Report post Posted January 12, 2020 I was there that night....it was the 3rd of a 3 night carnival and there were heats for the final on the first 2 x nights. For tightly assessed pacers....cup class and those on the verge. It was replaced by a 4 year old race / series. Unsure if there even a Festival Week now !...it was end of January.

Pale blue colours but very dark blue politically. Stood 3 times for National in the Dunedin South electorate and lost every time to Labour candidates. Mind you Labour have never lost that seat since its inception. Greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
