🏉 The NPC season is nearly here... which means it's time to put your rugby knowledge to the test!

Our NPC Picks competition kicks off with the first round on Thursday 30 July, and we'd love to have you involved.

$50 entry for the season

How it works:
🏉 Pick the winning team each week
✅ 1 point for the correct winner
🎯 2 points for the correct margin

Picks must be in by 6pm every Thursday.

The competition runs right through to the final round on 24 October, so there's plenty of time for the leaderboard to heat up!

Get involved, back your team, and enjoy some friendly rivalry all season long.

Pop in and see the team at Tui Base Camp to get your name on the list!

Join us as we hit the road to raise funds for Blue September and support prostate cancer awareness.

Can we top that this year? We reckon we can... but we'll need your help!

Mark the date in your calendar now, round up your mates, and get ready for another great day out for a great cause.

Was quite the day at Tui Base Camp yesterday. We had full crew for pool comp and then had our rugby sports break up. It was great to see all the awesome cars on Aussie Crawl call in on their way home from Te Anau.

Well done to Sam winning the pool and Archie got the sausages.

Congratulations to the winners of the sports picking:

First PB
Second Shawn
Third Tony M

A big 👋 to Les for taking out the Speights promo draw, a Speights Fridge!!

Was a good day, great food (thanks to Mr K Steele and his smoker), good laughs were had.

The TBC team would like to express our deepest sympathy to the O'Brien family on the passing of John (O'B) on Friday 19th June. He was a well respected patron of the TBC community and will be very sorely missed. Between the memories, yarns & the sketches/drawing immortalising some of the antics of other community members - he has left a legacy that could never be matched. RIP J O B
