A VISIT TO EDEN PARK STADIUM

An excellent day was had by all at last month’s trip when the Manurewa Ladies Probus Club toured New Zealand’s Icon, Eden Park Stadium. They were met by Graham Walton, their tour guide who promptly hustled the members into lifts to the 6th floor, here the top corridor was like a huge cloud. They were shown into one of the many corporate boxes and they were told the stadium seating capacity is just under 50,000 and can be temporarily increased to 60,000 for Cricket and Rugby Union cup days.

A fabulous day and far more interesting than the Club first thought. There was also the Multiflora Honey pot, which a member had purchased that included a noted inscription on the back that stated, “Experience the unbeatable taste we’re buzzin about - almost sweeter than a win against the Aussies –straight from the Garden of Eden”
