It's number three on the list of 'festivals to be at', well ahead of Indespendence day, Bastille day or the running of the bulls in pamplona.

Found it rather odd that it is listed as a 'festival', but hey... I'm keen to go down to the museum dawn service if that is not too cultural an activity for a motorcycle club. Events manager, I leave it in your hands!

However in saying that, one of my friends is having a very late planned 21st on Sat night. As in, all I know so far is that it's meant to be Sat night.
But it is open invite. And I think he is keen to go to a strip club. So will post the details when I find out more if anyone else is interested. Can always take over and turn it into an SMC thing :devil2:

[Slyer]

Why you gotta do the fun stuff when I'm away? :P

In it to win it. If I can sort out logistics.
Who's up for tequila shots/long island iced teas? =D

I could be in for the tequila shots :bleh: seeing as I pretty much only drink tequila and vodka anyway.
Oooh might have to get some jelly donuts though, and cookie monsters (http://image59.webshots.com/159/1/63/16/2562163160059694426DPwTGu_fs.jpg) if the bar will do them.

Probably at my place, and hopefully in the next few weeks. Will keep the thread updated.

Probably at my place, and hopefully in the next few weeks. Will keep the thread updated.

Yes, will be at my place. Plenty of floor, a few couches, beds, mattresses spare, room out front if you want to pitch a tent. Bring foods for a BBQ if you want to. And alcohol of course. Need people to offer their yard glasses. Thinking Fri 9th or Sat 10th.

Input appreciated.

keen beans, Ducnan and I have been meaning to do the track through karangahape gorge for a while too

[The Pastor]

Im assuiming you'd drag steve along too? I have a fat friend who i might be able to con into coming too!

[Thani-B]

We'd possibly be keen for some walks too. Karangahape Gorge is actually already on our list because there is a free campsite nearby.

[Hanne]

Oh, yusss! Midwinter swim trip! (Waihi is just on the other side?)

And yeah, I think Stephen actually WANTS to come?
(if not the fat friend bit might convince him...)

And camping, well ,that's just the shizz.
Lets dooo eet

[The Pastor]

now whos going to be the sucka who has to organise it all :P

[Dare]

now whos going to be the sucka who has to organise it all :P
Shotgun. Not. Although I don't think that will be a problem somehow.

[Thani-B]

Waihi? Why would we do Waihi when we could do hot water beach...

And well, I am the event planner...
Could possibly incorporate it with the yardie party, but think that's asking some people to travel a bit far.

Cold Kiwi is only a few months away too.

[Thani-B]

Added the below. Looks like a crack up.



Fri 16th July
Knight and Day

True! Or hot pools in Tauranga/ Miranda. Mmm hot pools....
Steve and I are keen beans to go down to cold kiwi, I will be taking the ax:P
Magua, renegade, motorbyclist, you better make your 100(ish) cc machines are in order and we can haz a race!

BTW next buckets is in 3 weeks

[Thani-B]

True! Or hot pools in Tauranga/ Miranda. Mmm hot pools....

I live like 15 mins away from Miranda hot pools...

[Hanne]

Yardie party at yours then hot pools the next day!!!!

(Duncan is groaning already at the prospect)

[Thani-B]

Yardie party at yours then hot pools the next day!!!!

(Duncan is groaning already at the prospect)

Or hot pools and then back to mine to get drunk lol. Either way I'm keen.



EDIT: I really disagree with this though
Centrally located just off State Highway 2, only 45min from Auckland, 60min from Hamilton, and 20min from the Coromandel Peninsula.

Even my place is further than 45 mins from Auckland, and you have to go past mine to get to the pools. $12.50 though, and they close at 9.30.

http://www.mirandahotsprings.co.nz/index.htm

[Hanne]

You disagree with the getting drunk bit or the directions? :sunny:

[Thani-B]

The directions lol, well the time they say it will take anyway. I'm all for getting drunk :)

[Thani-B]

Sat 10th July
Yardie Party!! And Miranda Hot Pools
Hot Pools from 2pm, BBQ at my house (PM for addy) around 7.30pm.
BYO meat and drinks

[motorbyclist]

how are we sorting the crate/s to fill the yardies? remember to pour them early!

[Slyer]

I should be coming, if we have too many people for the SMC car I can bring mine as well. :)

[Thani-B]

Well I'm doing the shots so I dont really care lol. Those who are doing them will have to sort them out.

[jono035]

how are we sorting the crate/s to fill the yardies? remember to pour them early!

Popping the tops off the bottles and letting them warm up slightly over a few hours does the trick.

[The Pastor]

unfortunately Negros, i will have for forfeit this fine event.

[Dare]

Considering doing a centurion instead of a yardie, anyone else keen?

[R6_kid]

I should be coming, if we have too many people for the SMC car I can bring mine as well. :)

Same hurr... infact, do you want to come in the Volvo?

[motorbyclist]

Considering doing a centurion instead of a yardie, anyone else keen?

my warning to you from my 18th is to be a man and do a yaardie mate

it's over an hour and a half of agony or 10 minutes of glory :)

[jono035]

I might be driving down and then driving back to Auckland instead of staying the night. It's the weekend before my thesis hand-in date, so things might be a little hectic for me...

Edit: Will be able to provide a ride down and probably back at some time in the early hours.

[Slyer]

Same hurr... infact, do you want to come in the Volvo?
That does sound like a better plan seeing as the Volvo is more passenger friendly. :P

[R6_kid]

Considering doing a centurion instead of a yardie, anyone else keen?

After your last display of drinking prowess, perhaps you are better off sticking with the crowd and just doing a yardie? It'll be my first, so no doubt you'll be able to show me up anyway!

I think the presale has ended and now you have to wait till they go on sale to the general public.

[jono035]

Oh. Hmmm. Well I guess I'll be trying to get one then, then!

[Hanne]

SO here is a staple-on to the yardie party.
For those who can walk (and have remembered to bring blue powerade down with them!) Duncan and Sam and I are keen to go walkies in the bush. (Sam may have just found out about his keeness just now, but that's beside the point)
Probably go somewhere in the Hunuas again, not TOO strenuous but something that moves your legs and refreshes your spirit. Aaaah, trees!

When? Well, when we wake up. But on Sunday.
Where? Hunuas
Why? To get in touch with our inner hippies

Mean.
Peace out!

[Slyer]

(Sam may have just found out about his keeness just now, but that's beside the point)
I knew I would never have agreed to this!

I'm potentially keen depending on
A) Whether Mr Deacon is keen as I'm likely getting a lift with him
B) How Miss Dempsey's foot is feeling come sunday and
C) Whether Mother Nature agrees with this plan.

Sunday morning will never have existed.

No world cup final? No way!
Don't worry, Duncan and I will bring along our vuvuzelas os we can ALL join in the fun! :P

What? But didn't he break his leg only a few weeks ago? Or is my sense of time severely distorted?

Six weeks ago. He's missed the last four races out of the total seven so far this season. And yet he's still seventh in the championship!

And he spent last weekend ripping around the Misano track on a Toseland's WSBK R1.

Been on a bike for 4 years now, new to aux this year, I joined the UoA SMC club at the beginning of the year but still haven't gone to on any rides or gone to the chillers.

speedball field wasn't open, but the bush one was ok - I reckon the way we played would've worked better with designated medics rather than just having us buddy up and expend copious amounts of paint

I reckon actions has better fields, better format, is actually within reasonable driving distance, but the rental guns are not near as good.

and you guys should offer belts so we can reload during a match

Couple of things, firstly speedball field is usually only open on sundays atm, as its not busy enough to be worth opening especially with how sparse the games were that weekend. Actions fields are rather gay, all small, you only play on the field for a bit, and they aren't very well set out, while our field has alot more time spent on it.

As for the format, apples and oranges, I find personally that I prefer the play attack/defend in two different directions then usually a center flag or king of the hill.

With medic rule, tends to just work much better than the walk to aid station then to base rule. If there was another group of ~10 people at the same time, it woulda been a different hit rule, but most people find that walking back and forth for most of the game isn't that great.

Actions driving distance is still pretty far, and their goggles are terrible and you have to pay for overalls. And they don't have a speedball field, which will probably be more active in summer.

As for ammo packs, we do have them, but you gotta buy the ammo first before we can give it to you. But primarily it is that when it has been raining, and is likely to be muddy, thus slipping over etc, we don't give out packs, because if you were to fall, and bang up your paint a bit much and split a paintball, then that would mean all your paint gone, a full 450 or more. So we usually only give out the packs on days when its nice and clear. The ammo pack I wore was just one of our rental ones that I ran up and grabbed.



Your entitled to your opinion of course, but actions costs more, definitely has worse gear in terms of guns, goggles and charging for overalls, and the field/format are personal preference

[jono035]

The 'running back and forwards all the time' thing is personal preference, too. Longer time to get back into the game/bigger penalty for getting shot slows the game down a lot and encourages stealth and strategy.

Sucks if you're unfit, though.
