Live in Lincoln bigger
and funnier than ever
LIVE IN Lincoln will once again
bring laughter to the area with
its third annual comedy night.
The first two were successful,
with comedy lovers from near
and far making each event a sell
out.
A look at the line up for this
year indicates the event may sell
out even quicker than its predecessors.
Live in Lincoln promoter David
Parlane has cast his net even
wider than before this year.
“An enjoyable night in Lincoln
listening to some of New Zealand’s
best comedians and our
international comedians as well,”
he said.
They include international
comedian and head writer for
Seven Days Nick Rado, recent
Billy T Award winner Melanie
Bracewell, Melbourne-based
comedian Rhys Nicholson and
United States comedian Wilson
Dixon from Cripple Creek,
Arizona.
They will be under the watchful
eye of equally humorous
master of ceremonies, Ben
Hurley.
A past recipient of the Billy T
Award, Hurley features regularly
on Seven Days and tours extensively
both here and overseas.
The event will be held on
October 6 at the Lincoln Event

A NEW children’s book has been
launched to tackle bullying head
on – and it tells the story of some
familiar Canterbury icons.
Bayleys Canterbury and the BNZ
Crusaders have teamed up to launch
Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage.
Aimed at school children aged
five to eight, it tells the story of
Ace, a young horse who is being
bullied by his peers. He dreams of
becoming one of the six Crusaders
Bayleys Horses which ride out at
the start of every home game.
The story ends well for Ace who
achieves his dream, just as his
real-life character did.
Ace, a four-year-old
thoroughbred mare was in
training when the book was being
written. He made his debut on the
field on May 12 at AMI Stadium
when the BNZ Crusaders beat the
Waratahs 31-29.
Holly, another character in the
book who stands up for Ace, is
the horse that sets the pace for the
others and keeps them on track,
even though she’s third in line.
Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage
aims to encourage children to
speak-up and report incidents
of bullying whether they are the
victims or witnesses. It has already
been received well.

tackle school bullying
assessment produced a report on
students’ well-being.
Fifteen-year-old students in 51
countries were surveyed about
perceived bullying. New Zealand
students reported the secondhighest
rate of bullying in the
OECD.
Bayleys Canterbury general
manager Pete Whalan said he was
proud to be working
with the Crusaders to deliver
an important message to Kiwi
kids.
“The Crusaders sporting
prowess, combined with the
team’s reputation in the wider
community and the easilyapproachable
persona of the
Crusaders horses, will enable
the anti-bullying message to be
spread among the key audiences
throughout the country.”
The book has been written by
Friday Creative’s Katy Clook, and
illustrated by Kophie Hulsbosch.
There is also advice in it for
parents.
The books can be pre-ordered
on the BNZ Crusaders website,
and will be sold for $20 at the
Crusaders home games against
the Highlanders on July 6 and the
Blues on July 14.
Proceeds go to Bayleys’
principal charity, Make-A-Wish
New Zealand.
