to see. Sometimes we just pop in if passing through but
not in past year

which have only two adults and two children

- Only for specific shows when there is something on that
interests me
- Spend time in Sumner - would go for a particularly good
exhibition
- Lack of advertising
- The show was all very modern last time I went - too elite
so I wasn't interested in going back

the last 12 months

encouraged to go

own

to show them around Christchurch. Visitors
