Sponsors
Our annual Get to the Point event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and local businesses.
All of the sponsorship money is used to provide entertainment, activities and prizes over the day – including free entertainment, subsidised amusements for the children, one of the largest prize pools in the South Island shearing circuit, and our $1000 cash prize draw, to name a few.
We encourage you to support these sponsors who are helping to make Get To The Point a successful day for yet another year.

O’Rourke Taxidermists $1000 Cash Prize Giveaway
O’Rourke Taxidermists have been operating from little ol’ Pleasant Point, New Zealand, for almost 60 years, and has been exporting trophies, the world over, for at least half a century.
From humble beginnings, the team currently has over 100 years experience on the floor, and continues to provide exceptional quality mounts across a broad range of animals – from big game animals to a variety of fish and birds.
In addition to providing top quality taxidermy services, we can arrange packing and freight (including all that pesky documentation) for trophies both domestically and internationally.
A love of hunting is in our blood and when we are not in the taxidermy studio, we’re probably out in the hills stalking animals…
Please let us know how we can help you.
