The Long Lunch being organised as a major fundraiser for Pukaha in April is attracting people from all over the country.

On 11th April, 400 diners will be treated to a gastronomic feast under the big marquee at the Copthorne Hotel, Solway Park, Masterton.

Executive Chef, Justin Holman and his team at Copthorne Solway Park, have devised a sensational menu utilising the best of the bountiful local produce.  The hotel and restaurant have recently undergone a multi-million dollar re-furbishment.  The restaurant is one of the leading fine-dining establishments in the area.

The sumptuous lunch will be punctuated with entertainment from leading artists as well as charity auction.

Executive Officer, John Gilberthorpe comments "we are delighted with the response to the lunch so far.  We are fortunate to have supporters all over New Zealand.  We look forward to welcoming them to the Wairarapa in April".

For tickets please contact John on 06 3049698.  Tickets are $125.00 per person or $1200 for a table of 10. 

Whack a rat continues to capture imaginations
