Another successful Round the Vines

Martinborough School’s major fundraiser Round The Vines took place on Sunday the 18 of March and was a roaring success.  Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from both participants and from volunteer parents, family and whanau.

We were extremely lucky with the weather which was sunny with a light breeze, perfect for those running the 21 & 10kms fun run.  Hoards of people attended with many varied, delightful, and whimsical costumes.  There were Bumble Bees, Mrs Brown’s Boys, The House from Up, Bacon & Eggs, French people including a wine bottle, a Zombie Bride and a bunch of grapes, just to name a few.

As usual we (the organising committee & the School) are thrilled, and humbled, by the support we have received from the wider community with sponsorship, participation and volunteering of their time to help us.

A special mention, and farewell, to the Crazy Clowns at the Nga Waka/Palliser Drink Station, your enthusiasm and awesome costumes will be missed.  The other Drink Stations have a hard act to follow.
