This is the master on HAKUI.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Before we wrap up, Taylor Painter of Balfer Young Farmers
joins us once again. Balfer Young Farmers Club had their
annual Barkup or bark Off, whichever you'd like to call
it at the week d Taylor, Good afternoon. It sounds
as I was a pretty good evening down there in
the land of a ruining Gold.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It was great. Yeah, No, the Barkup went really well.
I'm really really for you know, getting in, you know,
sitting up, getting sponsors organized and all of that, and yeah,
obviously half the profits are going to the Belfer Scouts
and cubs and it was really great. I think we
(00:51):
probably had about ten to fifteen of the Belfer Scouts
getting us a hand with raffles, handing out prizes, and
some of the kids even got involved with the human bark,
which was really awesome to see.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, that's a disturbing thing about the night. The human
bark was almost more popular than the dog bark.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah. I think we had around forty entries for the
worst working dog. And then this year we decided to
cat the human Bark to ten peers. We had a
kids get up on stage and do it from the scouts.
And then it was basically just about a couple verse
couple for the barkup Harry McCallum and Meghan wife.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah yeah, I was about to say, I've seen that
photo of those two winning it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
What does that tell you?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh, I don't even want to know what happens in
the day.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You said it not beg keeck going.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We also had Max McCullum and Janelle McCullum, so it
was basically brother verse brother who's a bit of McCullum
and sadly Harry came out on top.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh good h that's good from you actually some of
your bitter work Taylor. So so like you say, it was,
it was a success, a successful evening going towards a
worthy cause.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So it was never a bad night out there in
balf that was it.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
No, No, No, we had had bad management the band
there playing, so they kept off at around twenty to
nine and carried us fur until midnight. And no, it
was the environment and everything. It was really good, really
chilled out and you know, the evening ran really smoothly.
So we're all happy with howween, how.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Did everybody around the Belfer region from your understanding. How
did they fear in the wind.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, there's quite a lot of damage. Obviously, a lot
of trees down. Powell was out for quite a while.
But yeah, we the fire Brigade actually did like a
barbecue on Tuesday, not on a Tuesday night, and so
it was just great. So like people who didn't have
power to go down have a BV and all of
(03:07):
that and catch up. But no, I think, I think
everything and everyone's starting to slowly recover, and obviously there
are some people still without power, yeah, and all of that.
So you know, it's not gonna Roame wasn't built in
a day, so yeah, it'll be a while before everything
is semi back to normal. But hey, at least there's
(03:29):
a lot of flywood around the place.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well, I suppose when life gives you gives you a lemon,
you've got to try and make lemonade somehow.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Oh exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So it's certainly something.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like we say, everybody's still without power, Our thoughts are
with you, and sooner or later, hopefully everything is restored.
As far as about for club though, everything seems to
be ticking your way.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, no, everything's taken along quite nicely. And now that
the Barkup is over, we have another event at the
end of the month. We have Missed Belfa on the
twenty ninth of November, So if you want tickets, you
can head to our Facebook page and we have a
link up on one of the posts where you can
(04:11):
go and purchase your tickets. It's going to be quite
a good night. I think we've got about around fifteen
to eighteen drag queens. We've got quite a quite a
few of the Belthy young farmer employees that have stepped
in for business businesses, so I think it's once it's
(04:31):
all come together, it's going to be a fantastic night.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
They did this event there a few years ago and
my wife took her friend who's a corporate high flyer
from Auckland. She came up for a night in Belfer
and what was the event. It was miss Belfer, So
that was her initiation into Belfer nightlife.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh jeezus, should be a good night. I think we're
all really looking forward to it. So we're still in
the process of planning everything, but no, it's coming coming
along quite nicely.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, it'll be a grand event for sure. As far
as other happenings are from the club. Are you doing
lots of fundraising going and helping people out regards to
trees and feedcing of the.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Likes or what's the go.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, so we do have a fundraiser, got a group
hitting out on farm to go chop up some firewood
for a fundraiser. We've also got a few members who
are doing Moviimber this month. So quite a lot of
baby faces turned up to the meeting the other night.
(05:37):
Baby faces, Yeah, baby faces. Yeah, they' the mos off
and they're now baby faced.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh well, and that's going towards a great cause as well.
That's the beauty of November.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Right, Oh exactly, it's definitely a great cause. So yeah,
I think we'll chuck a link up and if anyone
wants to donate to that, they can ye help out
the young farmers with my member.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
So you guys sound like you're too social to actually
be doing any work.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah. By the time we have, you know, our monthly
meetings and then Thirsty Thursday every week, it's quite good
and obviously you know tailing and lambing and carving and
all that thing being quite busy as well. So haven't
really had the chance to get out and do fundraisers
because obviously everyone's been super busy, so obviously now that's
(06:30):
slowing down, we'll probably get back on the horse and
get some more fundraisers going.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Well, that's the big thing as well. At the moment,
you talk about getting off the farm and doing stuff
and I give you a jib about it, but at
the same time, it's about getting off the farm and
actually having a yarm and catching up.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Right, Oh exactly, And I mean everyone needs those breaks,
you know, even if it's for a couple of hours,
just to get off the farm and relax and chill
out and you know, hang out with people, and it's
definitely good for your mental health, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So in do you hold your meetings, Taylor?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So we hold our meetings the first Monday of every month.
At the moment, we are having our meetings at Riversdale Pub.
