Vintage Social back
The Vintage Social is back for another year, bringing together people of all ages to dress up in their favourite style from any era and listen to the best from music from every era as part of Bayleys Whanganui Vintage Weekend. Held at Porridge Watson, the event begins at 8pm through to midnight and costs $20, with tickets available on Eventfinder. You re guaranteed to hear some of your favourite tunes but if you have a request make sure you leave it on the Porridge Watson Facebook page as our DJ will be too busy crate digging on the night to chat, event organiser Kit Lawrence said.
Night Rider: A Tale of Battling the Dark by Mountain Bike
I wonder which will happen first: will I get bitten by a poisonous snake or eaten by a jaguar? This is the question I ponder as I push my bike through rugged jungle singletrack in the lush Mantiqueira Mountains of Brazil. It is night, pitch black and I have no light. Despite the fact that I’m participating in a duathlon race, I am alone. The leaders disappeared ahead of me long ago and the slowpokes are well behind me. I have tripped, toppled, and slid to the jungle floor too many times to count. The trail finally turned to a style of riding that suits me, technical and downhill, and I’m walking, unable to see three feet in front of me.

Euromaxx viewers favorite time of day!
We asked you which time of day you like best - and why. Find out here if you won an exclusively-designed DW backpack.
There’s a famous German proverb that goes, “the early bird gets the worm.” But night owls and people who sleep in late would ardently disagree. In a special edition of Euromaxx, we focus exclusively on what happens at night. We accompanied artists who are active and creative in the dark. We asked you whether you are an early riser or more of a night owl. Many of you wrote to us this week and told us which time of day is your favorite. A big thank you to all of the participants! All entries were raffled off and one lucky participant won an exclusively-designed DW backpack with goodies inside. The winner is Luciano P. from Madrid in Spain, who likes the evening and the sunset best.
