Cashing in on the comedy show
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
COMMUNITY groups are
laughing all of the way to the
bank thanks to the Live in
Lincoln Comedy Night.
Some of New Zealand’s top
comedians will be travelling to
the township to take the stage
for an evening of comedy at the
Lincoln Event Centre.
Comedians Ben Hurley, Paul
Ego, Michele A’Court, Jeremy
Elwood and Gish will star in the
show.
The organisers behind the
show are giving a selection of
Selwyn high schools, primary
schools and community groups
the opportunity to fundraise for
their organisations.
Organiser and Lincoln
resident David Parlane said
for every ticket sold by the
community group, organisers
are donating $5 back to it.
“If someone sells 100 tickets,
they make $500 . . . it is just
another way to give back to the
community,” he said.
Mr Parlane said tickets for the
comedy show are “ripping out
the door” at the moment.
The event was first launched
last year with nearly 1000 people
attending the night featuring
comedians TV3’s Seven Days

Bid to get
Glentunnel
cycleway
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PETITION signed by 30
residents has been put forward
in a bid to have a cycleway
constructed in the Glentunnel
area.
A loop cycleway starting and
finishing in Glentunnel and
covering Glenroy, Hororata and
Coalgate was presented to the
Malvern Community Board last
week.
It was presented by board
member Karen Meares.
Board chairwoman Jenny
Gallagher said while she can see
a lot of benefits for the cycleway,
there is a lot of work yet to go into
the planning of the project.
Darfield resident Ross Fowler,
who cycles in the area, said it
would make the roads safer for
cyclists.
“Traffic and tourists are not so
good on overtaking cyclists
. . . there hasn’t really been an
accident but I am sure there will
be one day,” he said.
His wife, Maria agreed and said
a lot of people are scared of traffic.
She said it was a great idea for
encouraging people to get out on
their cycles.
“Now I can hear!
It’s exciting.
Really exciting.”
Carol is looking forward to a
lifetime of healthy hearing with the
help of the team at Bay Audiology.
