Lloyd Spencer Davis picked up another award for his writing, getting the Runner's Up Award in the Whitcoulls Travcom Travel Book of the Year Award for his book Looking for Darwin. This is the premier award in New Zealand for travel books and welcome recognition that Lloyd is a travel writer as much as he is someone who writes about science.

The Mayor of Dunedin, Peter Chin, has kindly agreed to front a fundraising campaign for a film about dancer and local icon, Shona Dunlop MacTavish. The documentary is being made by Adelie Productions and Green Concrete Films. Filming is nearing an end and the funds are being sought for post-production.

To celebrate the new year, Adelie Productions has begun 2008 by launching our brand-new website.

In addition to a new design and updated information, new sections include this one for news and a contact form for addressing queries to Adelie Productions. Future plans include the addition of a store.
