fantastic day out for the entire family.
The popular Great Outdoors & Bach Life
Expo – the only one of its kind on the
peninsula – is back this year to provide
a city shopping experience right here at
the beach in Pauanui.
The event showcases the latest offerings
from over 90 local and national suppliers. In
addition to the usual Marine, Sports, Outdoors
and Leisure products, there will also be stalls
featuring the new ‘Bach Life’ theme with lots
of ideas to inspire furnishing, modernising or
renovating your bach (or home).
“Stalls selling outdoor furniture and ‘big
boys toys’ have always been particularly
busy”, said past event coordinator Sarah
Steinemann. “We get a mix of returning and
new exhibitors each time, so there are new
things to try out and the latest innovations to
see. We hear that many wait till the Expo to
buy their new lounge suite, bike or kayak.”
Have a go on an electric bike. View the interior
of the newest in luxury motor homes. Update
your outdoor furniture with the latest styles
and get them delivered at the end of the day.
See everything from surfboards to boats,
bikes to motorhomes, and the latest in
sporting and outdoor adventure equipment
for land or sea. Check out options to use your
outdoor living areas year round with awnings,
blinds and shelters for weather proofing.
Many attendees will happily head home with
some great Expo deals.
FREE ADMISSION for a FUN FAMILY DAY
While mums and dads are checking out the
numerous exhibits, there is plenty to keep
the kids happy too. A bouncy castle for the
younger ones, and lots of inflatable fun to
appeal to kids of all ages, including a climbing
tower, obstacle course and mini jeeps.
Make a tasty selection from any one of the
numerous food stalls while enjoying live music
from local bands and musicians. And, with
entry free, it’s a great value day to spend with
the whole family – with opportunities to eat,
shop, relax and have fun.
FUNDS BENEFIT MANY PROJECTS
The Expo is a major fundraiser for the local
Hikuai school, intended to provide much-
appreciated funds for a range of projects
and initiatives. Money raised in the past
has helped pay for upgrading/increasing
the number of laptops. Proceeds from this
year will go towards resurfacing the old
court with Tiger Turf to create an innovative
outdoor learning space.
This great day would not be feasible without
the major sponsors – Prescott’s Garages,
Danske Mobler, Jayco/South Auckland
Caravans and Family Boats. Also thanks to
TCDC and the local Emergency Services for
making their resources available on the day.
“Staging such a large event is also made
possible by strong local support,” adds
Principal Murray Hawke. “We are lucky to be
able to count on the goodwill of families and
local businesses alike to put on such a quality
community event, both in preparation and on
the day.”

Grand Mercure Puka Park, 100% Thames,
Danske Mobler, Dive Zone Whitianga,
