Statement by Dr Nicole Bassett Executive
Director, Variety – The Children’s Charity
Media reports
today have suggested that Variety was forced to cancel a
charity event involving former US President Bill Clinton in
Christchurch, because of exclusive rights held by BMW.
This is incorrect. Variety held separate negotiations
which were unsuccessful.
Variety wishes BMW every
success with President Clinton's visit to Auckland, and
regrets any
confusion.
