Triple Showcase:
Was a evening with a difference:
How long is it since you walked around town and recognized the
businesses you are passing?
It was interesting to note how many attendees at this function were
not aware of the presence of Tuatara Bar, Radio
Southland and the Invercargill Brewery sited in the central
city area.
 |
Congregating initially at the Tuatara Bar we were feted with
breads and hummus, fish burgers, and beef burgers which were a real
taste sensation.
|
From there the group split, half to the Invercargill Brewery and
half across the road to Radio Southland (above Hallensteins).
|
Radio Southland is a Community Radio in the true sense. They
derive most of its funding from New Zealand on Air but in order to
operate they also require a commercial element so there is plenty
of opportunity for businesses to use this, with advertising or
sponsorship of programs being options worth investigating.

The Invercargill Brewery provided a fascinating insight into
how a dream and a passion can be turned into a reality, and a very
successful reality at that. We were given tastings of the beers, a
rundown on the background and we did earnestly try to identify the
different flavour sensations), and then were were shown the
production process. |
| Once we were able to pull ourselves away from this, we returned
to the Tuatara Bar and those of us not watching our waistlines
finished the night with delectable dessert. |
 |
If you have not had the pleasure of utilizing these businesses
you need to. All three are a credit to the city and deserve our
support. Do take the time to visit them and find out what they have
on offer for you.
A sincere thank you Nathaniel (Tuatara Bar), Matt and Kim (Radio
Southland), Prue and Gina (Invercargill Brewery) for the extra
hours put in to create such a successful evening.
