The award is presented to any TARS member who has traveled “Furthest South” during the course of the year.
Any TARS member who travels to New Zealand and makes contact with a TARSNZ member, and/or the TARSNZ co-ordinator and meets for a parley (grog optional) is eligible to win the award.
Photographic evidence of the parley will be required, and sent to the TARSNZ co-ordinator (there is no requirement for the photo to be taken by stealth however – as per The Big Six.)
TARSNZ members wish to encourage TARS members worldwide to visit our beautiful country and enjoy Kiwi hospitality, and develop international friendships based on a shared love of the work of Arthur Ransome.
The award will be sent by TARSNZ members directly to the winner wherever they live in the world. The winner is announced in Furthest South, with a short article about their visit.
Who do I contact?
Unless you already know a jolly TARSNZ member, best contact TARSNZ Co-ordinator Cheryl Paget before you leave, either by eel-mail, newzealand@arthur-ransome.org.nz or by post. PO Box 95 Paraparaumu 5254, New Zealand.
