The Tour Time family would like to wish all Bands the very best of luck for the 2008 National Contest in Christchurch.

Ron will be carrying our flag this year at the contest as the rest of the team are presently touring with other music groups around New Zealand.

Brent our Company Director has recently returned from Australia where he has been touring with one of our Music Groups from the USA. The Strolling Strings had a fabulous time and will be touring again with us downunder in New Zealand in the future.

All of us here at Tour Time have been very busy planning with our Overseas partners and have many tours booked for here in New Zealand along with Australia, UK, Europe, South Africa and Argentina — so it's all go go go!

Ron has been busy touring and driving our Blacks Sticks Team in preparations for the Olympics — Tour Time is a proud sponsor and supporter of our National Hockey Team(s).

Sandra is still playing with the Navy Band as a Reservist and spent last weekend in Taupo with the Navy Band before battling the snow on the drive to Palmerston North for Beryl's changeover dinner to become President of her Lions Club.

So from the Tour Time family we wish all Bands and Soloists at the Contest all the very best and we look forward to seeing you next year at Contest.

We'll be keeping a close eye on the results on 4barsrest.com

Get in quickly if you want to book accommodation or travel arrangements with Tour Time for the 2009 Contest in Napier — remember — we're not 'just a bus company'!

Don't forget — Our Music Tours are organized by a professional musician!
