Tickets hot
for Lincoln
comedy
DON’T WAIT until
the last minute to
grab one of the final
tickets for the Live
in Lincoln comedy
event on October 8.
That was the message
from promoter
David Parlane who
said about three
quarters of the tickets
had already sold.
The event will feature Jeremy
Corbett, who hosts TV3’s Seven
Days, along with Ben Hurley, Justine
Smith and Tom Furniss.
With three weeks to go, there are
just 250 tickets remaining and Mr
Parlane said it would be risky to
count on door sales being available
on the night.
“We have had some really good
support so far he said,” he said.
“It just goes to show you put
something like this on in Lincoln
and Selwyn people are wanting it,
so I’m well pleased - it shows we
should have been doing this a lot
earlier.”
Doors will open at 6pm, with the
show starting at 7pm.
Tickets can be bought from The
Famous Grouse Hotel or by emailing

Hot wax, head shaves for CanTeen
• By Devon Bolger
LINCOLN HIGH School’s first
XV rugby players are used to a
bit of pain, but on Wednesday
it came in the form of hot wax,
rather than big hits on the field.
A challenge had been set for
the rugby team and the first
XI Football team to raise as
much money as they could for
the CanTeen organisation. The
wining team would be rewarded
with waxing the legs of the losing
team.
They had just over a month to
fundraise and many tactics were
used from sausage sizzles to
Givealittle web pages.
On Wednesday, the results
were announced as part of a
charity head-shaving event at
the high school.
With $570 raised, the football
team were announced the winners.
The rugby boys were not
too far behind with $529 but
they graciously accepted defeat
and in front of a crown of about
500 students, they suffered the
wrath of the wax strip.
Rugby captain Duncan Finlayson
said it was a small price
to pay for a fantastic cause.
“It wasn’t as painful as
thought it’d be, although clearly
the forwards have higher pain
tolerances than the backs,” he
said.
“I’m just immensely proud of
the first XV and first XI for their
efforts. To raise almost $1000
through all of this is incredible.”
Then it was time for the
individual head shavers. Nine
students took part and among
them was head girl Elin Harris.
There was an amazing feeling
in the air as the first set of
head-shavers held hands and the
crowd cheered them on.
Harris said she hoped the
money raised would go a long
way to helping benefit the lives
of others.
“To raise over $10,000 for
CanTeen and the Cancer Society
has to be one of the greatest
things I’ve ever been involved
in,” she said.
