End of Summer Party 2015 - April 26th!

Folks enjoying last year's party

It's sad to say goodbye to the summer season... in our books though, that's a good reason for a knees up. Our end of summer party will be on the April 26th. Not the last day of the gondola this year, but we bought it forward to coincide with the long weekend. Before the Atlas party kicks off the Wynyard World Champs downhill race, the last in the Queenstown series, is taking place. People normally wear their country colours to this race so feel free to do the same at Atlas on the night - to keep the global theme going!

The party starts at 5pm with the prize raffle from 8pm and we'll be expanding into neighbouring Farelli's Trattoria so that there's plenty of room for everyone to come down and enjoy themselves. The more the merrier! And, as usual, we will be holding a mega raffle to raise some coin for the good folks at QMTBC. Many local businesses have generously donated to the raffle, the prizes so far include:

• 2 x full van hires with QUEENSTOWN BIKE TAXI 
• 15/16 Mountain bike Season Pass: SKYLINE
• Gear from QUEST
• Surprise gift from OUTSIDE SPORTS
• Trees from ROYAL TREE (This prize is literally a tree and Jimmy with either plant it for the winner in their garden OR go with the winner for a bike on their favourite track and plant it so this person can see it every time they ride!)
• Merchandise from QUEENSTOWN MOUNTAIN BIKE CLUB
• 2 x scenic heli ride with HELI LINE TOTAL TOURISM
• 2 x adult day passes up CARDRONA
• Prizes from GIBBSTON VALLEY WINE 
• $80 voucher from Queenstown Laundry Service
• Prizes from Altitude Brewing

Also many thanks to Southern Hospitality for helping out with the additional glassware!

Raffle tickets are now sale at Atlas: 2 for $5, 5 for $10, 12 for $20.
