A seven piece band and nine cubic metres of sawdust on the floor will greet patrons on Friday celebrating three decades since the South end CBD pub became a rite of passage for city students in O Week.

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.
We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!
This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.

Beach Hop organisers say they fully support the ban, and said “unsupervised, under age kids” still roamed the streets during their festival and parents needed to keep a much closer eye on them.
