“That art is the sizzle in life’s barbecue”

April 29

Cheval Room
Hastings Racing Centre

Welcome to the wonderful world of debate.

Hawke’s Bay has some of New Zealand’s finest practitioners of the art and we are sure that you will enjoy the evening.

Hawke’s Bay has also some of [of] the finest winemakers in New Zealand and we are pleased to acknowledge the support of Clearview Estate, Ngatarawa Wines and CJ Pask.
We are proud to offer to you some of their wines tonight.
There is a natural alliance between fine words and fine wines and indeed between fine art and fine wine and we welcome the opportunity to make that connection.

We are especially grateful to our sponsors Fenwicke & Co Ltd.

Proceeds from tonight’s debate go towards the running of the Hastings Community Arts Centre We appreciate your support.
