Speaker: David Ellis – founder and owner of the specialised outdoor clothing brand Earth Sea Sky. David will talk about his 35 years experience designing and making outdoor clothing and equipment in New Zealand. His grandfather started the Fairydown brand and supplied Ed Hillary the sleeping bag he used during the first ascent of Mt Everest. His father was the engineer that accompanied Ed on his tractor trip to the South Pole. During the evening David will talk about his unique heritage, the many misunderstandings behind functional clothing, the importance of efficient layering systems and how Earth Sea Sky survives in a world of exaggerated marketing claims, huge advertising budgets and discounts. A night of entertainment for all those interested in the outdoors. Contact: Jane (439 5825)
