Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Welcome back to the muster.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Being Sir Patrick Stale, I suppose the theme has to
be Irish music the late Senade O'Connor. Nothing compares to
you from Tiana, Young Farmers. We're catching up for Isley
Edgekin and Harry McCallum stood me up either, Thanks for
jumping in at last minute.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
HOUSEX not too bad, Andy, how about yourself?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Can't complain?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I mean it's the middle of March and it's a
rather pleasant afternoon. It's not stinking hot, but it's not
cold either.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's almost typical spring weather.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Actually, hey Tiana Young Farmers, Isla, how's everything been over
the past while?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's been really good. Actually we've had a few wild
turnip picking fundraisers, which I mean they've been a bit
of a drag, but it's always good to catch up
with everyone and get the job done and see the
money in the bank account. But yeah, and then we've
just kind of got underway with our Basin boot bash
planning which is going to be happening in June, which

(01:03):
is quite exciting for the Basin.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
So yeah, so what's it all about?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
So we've basically we've got a band from Queenstown coming
through they actually played at the Glenorchy Races and they
are the barn doors from memory. And we've also got
a mechanical ball coming along which will be pretty awesome.
And I think, yeah, we've had a bit of engagement

(01:31):
through our posts and that and tickets go live in April,
so yeah, picked your eyes peeled on the Facebook page
and you'll see them come up.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
You guys do it beings pretty well though you had
the what was it last year? You had the district
meeting or weekend at the start of twenty twenty five.
By all accounts, that was a massive weekend, so now
no doubt this will be the same.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
No, we thoroughly enjoyed the regional weekend last year.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, well you've got your sales on Country Calendar as well.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, it's we're the best club in the New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
The belfer might have a bit to say about that
and the likes, but nonetheless, the challenge is led down
is the gauntlet has been laid in front of you
as such, courtesy of tian Now. But there's been quite
a bit going on lately in the young farmer's scene.
So with you guys, have you been out and about
being proactive with other clubs.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Probably not as much as we'd like, but yeah, we've
got tournaments and punting barkups next weekend, so we've got
a few crews heading along to those, which is going
to be good.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
When you say not catching with other clubs, is it
a geography thing or is it just that time of
the season.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I don't know. I think it's like the summary whether
and people were just kind of happy camped up at
home instead of going out and mingling, or they've got
other things on and stuff. So yeah, it's just one
of those things.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I think. I thought you young father types would be
busting at the gamals, get out of the base and
go out there and have a couple of bears.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, I know it would be nice as.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Far as the club being in good heart.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Every time likes of us speak to Harry when he
answers his phone, they're always saying about membership, always going on.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
The app was trajectory? Is there still the case Eiler? Yep.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, everything's steady flying there and we're on the up
rise with the membership drive this month, so people are
keen for that twenty dollars discount, which is awesome.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So what's a twenty dollars discount?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
So that each year young farmers do like a membership
drive and so they take a twenty dollars discount off
the original price which is one hundred dollars down to
eighty for members to either renew DIA membership or get
a membership.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Have you guys got any trips planned or anything like that?
Likes of ways, Handy went over to Ozzie, I think
they're going to Stuart Island.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Are you guys venturing out anywhere?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
We He has been looking at doing a couple things
like a mystery advent trip and stuff like that, but
trying to find dates that don't clash with either other
club's events or even winter sports. Like we've got a
few netball players and rugby players and whatnot on the club,
so trying to get as many along during winter sports

(04:14):
can be quite tough.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. Absolutely, But you guys you've got a pretty strong
catchment group there. Your members travel a weaver to go
to your meetings. What are the details around your meeting dates?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
So our meeting John Wednesday, the first Wednesday of the
month and at seven o'clock and it's been a bit
pittle miss at the moment where it's going to be,
so just keep your eyes peeled on the Facebook page
or Instagram and yeah, you'll see the details come up.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That's why we want to hear Eiler. Hey, thanks very
much for that. The soulf acclaimed of best club in
New Zealand. Hope everything's going well up there on the
base and always appreciate your time.

be a laughing matter. Brought to us by Sheerwell Data
working to help the livestock farmer. One night, Missus McMillan
answers the phone to see her husband's best friend, Patty,
standing on the doorstep.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Patty, you're here, but where's my husband. He went to
the bear.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Factory with you, the brewery, I suppose Patty shook his head. Sorry,
Missus McMillan, there was a terrible exitit at the factory.
Your husband fell into a vent of geinnis stout and drowned.
Missus McMillan started crying, don't tell me that. Tell me
