Back Benches, New Zealand's one and only pub politics show, hits the road and heads to the beach every week over summer. On Sunday the 24th Jan the show descends on the Gin Trap in Ahuriri, Napier.

The Back Benches Summer Tour sees Wallace Chapman and guests head to the regions, starting at the birthplace of politics - and New Zealand's first licensed pub - in Russell, and winding down through Mangawhai, Coromandel, Tauranga, Gisborne, and Napier over December and January.

Each show will be an opportunity to get out and meet the locals, and bring the Back Benches brand of live pub politics to some of the best summer spots in the country.

The team will be discussing the big events of the past year, looking forward to 2010, and highlighting important local issues in each stop. Along the way they will meet local MPs, the local mayor, and colourful personalities at each stop.
