Thank you to Henry McMullin from One News who visited the event over the last few days, he’s rapidly becoming Mr Knitting of TVNZ and he did a great job showcasing all the incredible people that make up the event. You were all such good sports at me telling you with zero notice that you might get a camera thrust in your face!
