be lifted off the War Memorial Stadium here in Masterden
tomorrow night. It's really heating up here today. We've heard
from Sharing Royalty Roland Smith. We're hoping so David Fagan

when it comes to female Sharing Royalty, I don't think
they come much bigger than Mavers Smullen's. Mavis, you've worn
(00:23):
many hats, not only in the sharing industry but also
in the agribusiness and primary sector industries. But let's talk
about how it started for you. You've won a couple
of open wall handling titles here at the Golden Shares.
Speaker 2 (00:36):

But suddenly carry those with pride and yeah, it's a
family thing to be frank, and you'll find that with
all these big names, whether it's Roland Smith or David
Buick or David Fagan, there's a whole family thing that
goes on beside and behind and in front as well.
Speaker 1 (00:56):

of the first, well the first family of New Zealand.
Sharing because you won a couple of Open wooll handling titles.

times more as a commentator, he was brilliant. Yeah, he
loved it.

or sixty years plus and he's still keeping up with
all the young guys on the speed share. He's not
afraid to keep them on us, that's for sure. Now

a ticket for love nor money for the Open Finals

(01:56):
huge audience. So how do people get on to that?
