There was an urgent listing in the Dominion Post, reading:"Four Boomers Need Help".
It went on to say "We have 5 nights accommodation in Wellington all sorted. And just like we have done for the past 25 years we were planning on waddling down to the Basin Reserve this Friday and getting a 5-day pass each.
BUT NOT SO SORTED?!"
Behind the ad is Bryan Cadogan, aka Sprout . He's also the mayor of Balclutha - we check in to see if the ad has worked!
