Join  us for a memorable evening of connection, inspiration, and great food as the  Rural Support Trust proudly presents Sir Wayne 'Buck' Shelford -  All Black legend, respected leader, and advocate for wellbeing.

This  event is dedicated to celebrating the strength and spirit of our rural  communities. Farmers, growers, and supporters are invited to come together  for a relaxed evening featuring meaningful conversations and the chance to  hear from one of New Zealand’s most respected figures.

Thanks  to the generous support of our sponsors and recent Rural Support fundraising  efforts, a significant portion of the event costs has been covered. However,  a modest ticket fee is required to assist with the remaining expenses.

Enjoy  a delicious two-course feast prepared by the amazing team at LaValla,  set in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Sir Wayne will share powerful stories  from his life on and off the field - speaking to leadership, resilience, and  the challenges faced.

Be  part of a night of real connection, great food, and down-to-earth  inspiration.

Sir  Wayne 'Buck' Shelford is a legendary All Black, revered for his  uncompromising toughness, inspirational leadership, and deep cultural pride.  As captain from 1987 to 1990, he helped shape one of New Zealand's most  formidable rugby eras and has since become a passionate advocate for men's  health, using his own journey - from rugby icon to cancer survivor - to  inspire others.
