WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A vicar has come to the rescue
of a small New Zealand town that has run out of
women's underwear.

A group of women at the local Anglican church revealed
the crisis caused by the only clothing shop in the
small town of Inglewood, about 280 km (175 miles)
north west of the capital Wellington, no longer
stocking women's underwear.

"Someone came up with the point that it was a bit
difficult that ladies essentials were not able to be
bought in Inglewood," Reverend Gary Husband told
National Radio.

"So we're going to have what's been called a knickers
run."

Husband, who came up with the solution to the
less-than-spiritual problem, said volunteers would now
take anyone without transport to the nearby city of
New Plymouth, about 20 km (12 miles) away, to buy
their essentials.

Men's underwear is readily available in the town of
around 3,000, but it also has no shoe shop and no bus
service.

Husband said a trial run would be made before
Christmas and if successful it would probably become a
monthly event and open to all, regardless of faith.

"This is for the community ... the response has been
positive, we've had one (other) denomination get in
touch with us, so it's spreading."
