This film earned $2 million at the New Zealand box office making it the most successful Kiwi documentary of all time. It has also been a huge hit around the World, winning 21 International Awards. "Untouchable Girls" tells the story of Kiwi comedians Jools and Lynda Topp, but more importantly it documents 30 years of NZ social history through their crazy eyes. The film is a sometimes moving always, hilarious romp which will make every Kiwi living abroad a little bit homesick. So if you want to give your friends and family an insight into what life was like in little old NZ, or just for a fantastic night out, take them along!

Check out the trailer for a taste...you'll see what we mean.

Velox Fight Night for Victims of the ChCh Earthquake

The next Velox fight night will be held on Friday, May 13th. This event will be a fundraiser for the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand. There are a lot of people in the rugby and Victoria community that have close ties with New Zealand and we cant think of a better cause to support, with all proceeds going directly to families effected by this tragedy.We all ready have a number of amateur boxing and pro-wreslting fights for the night, but we need more volunteers to give us a hand. We need business sponsorship, security, a set up crew, creative ring girls, fighters, fundraising organizers for the night and general helpers.
