Robertson's Trolley Derby
Nelson's Collingwood Street Trolley Derby is taking centre stage in a new children′s movie to be filmed entirely in Nelson this autumn and SBS Bank is delighted to support this fun family day as one of the major sponsors.
The $1.2 million feature film Kiwi Flyer will follow 12-year-old Nelson boy Ben on his quest to win the Nelson Trolley Derby title away from cocky Australian-born Shannon, who, as an Aussie, will be up to the usual dirty tricks in an attempt to win.
The movie, aimed at five to 14-year-olds, will be set in Nelson and will use locals as actors.
Nelson-born director and co-writer Tony Simpson, of Governor's Bay-based Torrent Films, said the film would need "a cast of thousands" of Nelsonians.
As well as being a sponsor for the event, SBS Bank will be providing goodie bags for both the adults and children at the event and our race - the SBS Zoomers - will be for the eight to 15 year age group.
It's fantastic to have the Nelson Trolley Derby team on board with our SBS Star banking package, specifically designed for non-profit clubs and societies. We wish them luck in winning one of our 10 monthly prize draws for $1000 cash!
See you at Collingwood Street for the great Trolley Derby on 26 March 2011.
