The team at the Coastal News, and their associates, have done a great job of putting the Sony Xplod Beach Hop 11 Festival Programme together and it hits the printing press next week. This will be our biggest ever with 96 pages of important information for you. The entrant swing tags and car decals are currently being produced by Oliver Young so we are on track to send out the entry packs approx 4th March. IF YOU HAVE CHANGED ADDRESS SINCE YOU ENTERED, THEN NOW IS THE TIME TO LET US KNOW!

Shell Join the Beach Hop Sponsorship Family
We are overwhelmed by the support of sponsors who are getting behind the event and the latest to step up are Shell Whangamata. Joe and his team are sponsoring 2 FREE BUSES to ferry people between Car Shows on Saturday 26th March. Not only that, but they are giving Shell cards with $250 of credit to go with the 1952 Ford Pick Up, 1962 Ford Thunderbird and Ford Flathead engine which will find new homes at the Festival. How cool is that!?

Mystery Special Guest Appearance at Sony Xplod Beach Hop 11
We’re about to confirm the appearance of a true Kiwi music icon from the 60s. We’ll give you a few clues… in 1969 he received the "Gold Disc Award" and "Top Soloist" in New Zealand and had a number 1 hit for 6 weeks. Can anyone guess who it is?
