GO BLACK!
At Channel Magazine and Benefitz we love black! It has been the colour of our brand for the two decades plus that we have been in business on the Shore. So it hasn’t been too hard for us to “get with the colour”.
What a fantastic first month it has been hosting the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. We can all be very proud of the show and hospitality we are putting on. I knew the event would be special, but not in my wildest dreams did I think the whole of New Zealand would get behind the event like they have. Full stadiums, lots of flags and colour and a general feeling of one big happy party. I was lucky enough to be in the UK and France for the last World Cup and it was nowhere near as good – and as I write this we haven’t even got to the semis or quarters!
We chatted to an English couple in late September at the Macs Brewbar Hurstmere Road who have based themselves in Takapuna for the RWC. They are renting an apartment just off Takapuna Beach, and they were raving about the experience they were having. These lucky two have been to the last four World Cup’s and according to them this has been the best by a long way.
So we must say a big congratulations to Martin Snedden and his team. They have done a fantastic job. Yes, there have been a few hick-ups, but you get those everywhere – they are not exclusive to New Zealand.
Once again the size of Channel Magazine has grown, this month we crack the 150 pages mark! It has been a real success story with locals really loving it. They love the read and it is also proving to be a successful advertising medium for local businesses which is great. A key focus of the magazine is encouraging people to support local businesses through buying local.
Enjoy reading this bumper issue – and go the mighty All Blacks!
