12 & 15 NOVEMBER<br />
Addington Cup Week<br />
There’s a petting zoo at Addington Raceway<br />
on Friday 15 November. Truly. And that’s no<br />
reference to the scenes that unfurl after the<br />
last horse has crossed the line on Tuesday.<br />
Entry to the public areas is by way of a gold<br />
coin donation on Canterbury Anniversary<br />
Day, and your cash goes to the Maia Health<br />
Foundation. Expect a far more PG affair to<br />
that of the NZ Trotting Cup Day.<br />
13-15 NOVEMBER<br />
The New Zealand Agricultural Show<br />
Cows, sheep, horses and wine. Yes, the 16th<br />
annual New Zealand Aromatic Wine Competition<br />
takes place in conjunction with this agricultural<br />
event in Christchurch. So, be it riesling, sauvignon<br />
blanc, pinot gris, gewürztraminer, viognier or<br />
muscat, verdelho, arneis, rosé, sauvignon gris... pay<br />
attention before you swill to see whether you<br />
are enjoying what has been decreed as the best<br />
available in New Zealand.<br />
In addition, it’s at this time of year that the New<br />
Zealand Winemaker of the Year is crowned. Each<br />
competing winemaker puts forward the three<br />
wines of different varieties and styles that best<br />
show off their skills. Last year’s accolade went to<br />
Jen Parr from Valli Vineyard.<br />

27 & 28 NOVEMBER<br />
Fashion for a Cure<br />
Dunedin and Christchurch have had their run, but this truly<br />
fashionable event has two more southern stops for <strong>2019</strong>:<br />
Rippon Hall, Lake Wanaka on 27 November and inside a<br />
Nordic teepee at Lake Hayes on 28 November. You’ll see<br />
the latest collections by Trelise Cooper, Zambesi, Kathryn<br />
Wilson, Carlson, Augustine and more, but really, this is<br />
about more than that.<br />
Breast Cancer Cure (BCC) is New Zealand’s only not-forprofit<br />
organisation dedicated to funding scientific research to<br />
find a cure for breast cancer. Trelise Cooper is the patron<br />
for the trust, which was founded in 1997, and its long list of<br />
ambassadors include Petra Bagust, Karen Walker and Shane<br />
Cortese. More than $6 million of grants have ensued since<br />
Dr John Harman’s vision became a reality, with the funding<br />
of a Chair in Breast Cancer at the Auckland University<br />
School of Medicine a significant step to boost research into<br />
diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in New Zealand.
