NI Easter Buckets @ Kaitoke - Sat dinner and drinks

[Str8 Jacket]

Well as per the last few years there'll be a few of us heading to the Parrot and Jigger for dinner on the Sat night. There are motels literally round the corner within walking distance from the PnJ.
Thought I would like to give the pub a bit more notice than a few hours this time so anyone who is keen can you respond to the post accordingly.

Cheers

On a kind of related topic, can someone suggest budget accommodation or camp ground close to the track. The budget is seriously sad, Im thinking YHA or similar.

[Str8 Jacket]

MNZ event so licence and club membership required. Remember people most clubs licences will expire in a couple of day's for this fin year....

You can't camp at the track.

[ac3_snow]

I will have a possie of four for the parrot on saturday.

Also if someone could recomend a close-ish campground - suppose I could just get around to googling it soooner or later

[richban]

Real keen. Will start with the browny point now. 1/2 1/2 at this stage.

[Henk]

We're in. 8 9 post

[richban]

We're in. 8 9 post

6 beers is good 9 just detunes you a little to much I found. But spoz its pints so thats 4 right. Sleeping in your own bed should give you maybe 1 more pint credit. A good hearty meal should add one more credit. So thats 6.

Closest Holiday Park is http://www.harcourtholidaypark.co.nz/
There is also the Kaitoke DOC camping area just north of the Kart track (about 5 mins) - ref : http://www.gw.govt.nz/Camping-at-Kaitoke/


hth.

[F5 Dave]

feckin heck, in the old days we'd spend $20 at least at the Ohakea bar, that was a cheap night out & beers were a subsidised $1.70ea. Then we'd start on the vodkas. Fortunately we never started early the next day.

[Dutchee]

Warrick and family keen to come along for dinner.
Did anyone leave some sunglasses in our van at Te Puke? No idea who they belong to, unless they're the ones Craig left another time and we ended up giving them to captian_soup bwahaha

Oh, might be mine. I lost them at Tokoroa at my olds got them back when we stayed there for Te Puke and then I lost them again. Are they smallish in size with little rubber bits on the ear pieces?

[SHELRACING]

Well Our bikes are just about ready, I think, hope. Looking forward to our first race meeting in a long time. We are coming down on Friday and going home on Monday staying at Harcourts camping ground.

I hope you guys have arranged for some fine weather. Can't wait I have heard the track is Awesome :woohoo:

shit i might come over anyone wanna let a old has been out for a play on a bike

[SHELRACING]

Ellen here from Shel racing.
We are booked in at Harcourt Holiday Park. All the cheap cabins are gone so we have booked a pwered campsite, $40 per night for two and are bringing our poptop down. They have hot water and dont shut the gates at all.

I checked out the Kaitoke Regional park for camping. They only charge $5 per night, but theres no power and no hot water. They close the camp ground at dusk.

Put both our names in for dinner on Saturday night please. We will have a drink or two but you guys are NOT getting us to ride on hang overs on Sunday. :facepalm:

[Str8 Jacket]

Righto, I have booked a table for 20 people, we got at least that last time so thought I would play it safe......
FYI - the dining area is children friendly and the booking has been made from 7.

[SHELRACING]

I forgot to ask. Anyone know what time we have to be at the track on Sat morning. 6am?

[crazy man]

Please make it 22, Kel and I would like to be there too.

[all4A50s]

I wont be racing but be keen for The Parrot and Jigger. Hopefully Amy will be racing on at least the Saturday. We've got 2 out of 3 buckets running.

[Str8 Jacket]

Please make it 22, Kel and I would like to be there too.

I'm hoping that 20 will cover you two as well. Will have a chat with everyone at the track on Sat morn. Can book more if need be. I just really didn't want to have 20 people just land on them on Easter Sat without warning. Could be waiting a veeeery long time for kai!

[Ivan]

[GirrlRacer]

Great day at the track. Thanks Steve, Andrew, Leigh, Nigel, Graig, Hels, everyone that put in time to make the day so good. Great to see so many of out of towners again. Congrats to Rick for taking out the series. Sorry for not doing much flagging had a few tuning issues. Will save the tuning for later. Great racing Hamish. I am uploading the last 20 lapper now. Its a dooze. Should be finished in a couple of hours.

Good times.

Oppps wrong thread.

[Str8 Jacket]

Cheers everyone for coming along. 50 meals went out the door, which is why it kinda took awhile. Was awesome to have everyone in one room, sorry that the kids were sat at the other table, just made it easier room-wise. Sorry to, too SHELRACING for stealing a whole tray of flat bread and returning it empty!!

Good to see no sign of bad hangovers on Sun! See ya'll next year! :apint:
