Rural women’s lunch in Wellsford

Any rural women who could use a long lunch and a few laughs should head to the Wellsford Golf Club on October 30 for a get-together organised by Rural Support Northland and Beef + Lamb NZ.

The Refill Your Cup ladies long lunch includes a free glass of bubbles on arrival, a three-course meal, giveaways and a guest speaker – on this occasion, journalist, broadcaster and podcaster Brodie Kane.

Following a spell in the army, Kane worked in many radio and TV roles, including as sports presenter on TVNZ’s Breakfast for 10 years and hosting coverage of the 2022 Rugby World Cup and 2023 SailGP.

More recently she has starred in a number of hit podcasts, including Girls Uninterrupted, Kiwi Yarns and

The Fearless, as well as producing Three Gals One Beehive and Out the Gayte.

A Rural Support spokesperson said a good time was guaranteed at the recently refurbished golf club and urged local women to come along.

“We know how incredibly important social connection is for our rural communities – especially our rural women. Having a network of friends, family and neighbours can make a world of difference,” she said.

“It’s these connections that help build more supportive, vibrant communities where everyone benefits.”

Tickets cost $20 each, or $75 for a table of four, and bookings are essential.
