Friday 17th October – 

Beef and Lamb and the West Coast Catchments Team is proud to bring the rural ladies event – Boots and Bubbles to three locations across the West Coast.
This event follows Beef and Lamb’s successful ladies lunch – Sowing seeds of success, in Greymouth last year. These three fabulous evenings are an opportunity for all women connected with agriculture and the rural sector to step off-farm, connect with other like-minded women and feel refreshed and empowered.
These evenings will include hearing from two awesome local speakers who will chat about their love for working on the land and how they juggle family, business, and wellbeing. Along with a warm meal, laughs and plenty of quality spot prizes from sponsors such as Bushbuck, Kaiwaka, H&S Heritage, vouchers for local getaways, dining and lots more.
Rural ladies will be able to enjoy a casual and relaxed evening off farm with other relatable rural women and leave feeling empowered and with their cup filled.
