Expressions of Interest: Inaugural NZ meet!

Postby sheepie on Tue Nov 08, 2005 3:12 pm

I think it's time we had our first official meet across the ditch! Of course, this has nothing to do with me going there very shortly ;)

Anyone interested, and able to meet in Rotorua sometime from the 14th to the 20th December?
Otherwise, if anyone's around Palmy North around xmas let's know :)

Not expecting any takers, but you never know!

We'll be headed from Rotorua back to Palmerston North on the Thursday (I think) before Christmas, and then down to Wellington on the following Wednesday to do Te Papa and a few other things b4 flying home Thursday.
Speedway in Palmy on Tuesday night after Christmas should be good.
Let's know where 'near Wellington' means, might be able to make this one work ;)

Looks like we won't cross paths - a couple of days later and we'd be right!

Have a great trip - sounds like it should be :)

Thanks Sheepie. Enjoy your trip as well!
I'm visiting some places that I have not been to before and am really looking forward to it all. Hope my King Pano turns up before I leave!

I'll be in Auckland from the 15th thru til Christmas. Not sure if i'll be able to borrow a car to get down to Rotorua. Maybe if I organise to take the family to the hot pools for a couple of days i'll be able to wangle it.
