The Martinborough Skyline Challenge
What a great day!
2026 turned out to be our biggest and best yet.
We’ll share details once we’ve crunched the numbers but it looks like we got very close to our upper target and we should be able to buy most or all of the equipment that South Wairarapa Meals on Wheels .
Once again, thanks to everyone who participated and/or helped in any way whatsoever.
