BrewNZ/Beervana 2010 - Round the Bars Promotion
Beervana has always been the featured event to promote New Zealand's best craft premium brews in the industry with over 70 breweries attending the event and exhibiting their beer range in Wellington.
Now Christchurch bars will have an opportunity to showcase the fine craft beer range in conjunction with Beervana 2010 by participating in the Beer Passport promotion leading up to Beervana in Wellington.
I'm interested, what do I get?
All participating bars in Christchurch will be supported with Beervana advertising material: DL flyers, coasters, posters, loads of stamp passport cards and you will be listed on the Beervana website promoting your bar, giving potential customers another good reason to go to your bar!
How does this promotion work?
During the promotional period from 19 July to 21 August, participants will need to collect 12 required passport stamps from participating bars (one per bar) and post in their completed stamp passports to go in the draw for a chance to WIN a Beervana package that includes accommodation and flights to the Beervana Event in Wellington! While in Wellington the winner will automatically be entered into the major prize draw for a chance to WIN a trip for two to Melbourne (accommodation and flights included)!
Any Conditions of the Promotion or Bar Criteria?
All premium and craft beers should be sold at full retail with no discounts. No incentive offers other than the passport stamp are allowed. This will ensure all participating bars will get a financial benefit from being involved with BrewNZ 2010.

Operation Nightstand
The City Transport Accord has introduced Operation Nightstand which will activate the five city night time taxi stands which were set up last year. The public have continued to park in these allocated areas so Operation Nightstand will proactively ensure that cars will not park in these areas. Posters about the operation are available from Susan Biss or you can download the PDF versions as listed below.
The Transport Accord has commenced Operation Nightstand, with the aim of activating the five central city night time Taxi Stands, which were set up late last year.
Unfortunately, the public have continued to use the Nightstands for parking, which has prevented taxis using them to their full extent.
Operation Nightstand has commenced with an education campaign, which is comprised of:
· advertisements placed in the local media
· delivering posters and pamphlets advertising the locations of the Stands, to bars and businesses which operate at night
· placing pamphlets on vehicles which are parked on the Stands at night
· PDF versions of the posters are available to be downloaded here: Operation Nightstand or Operation Nightstand with Map
The education campaign will continue until mid June. The second, enforcement phase of the Operation has commenced since late May comprising of a series of joint-agency enforcement operations.
