View Full Version : Canterbury: Chch year end BBQ
Joni
25th October 2006, 08:13
Well fellow Chch'ers, next week its November, so maybe we should start discussing when would be a good time for us to get together for the end of year bbq. Last year was great, we got to put some names to faces of KB'ers we had not met before and even their dogs... so hopefully this year will be the same.:sunny:
Which weekend would suit?
Nov 25-26
Dec 1-2
Dec 16-17
Any other venues you can suggest? Although last years was great...
I can believe a year has gone by so fast :shit:

25th October 2006, 08:28
I'm not around at the end of November, beginning of December.
Gutted I missed last year's event for the same reason, as I'd like to meet up with some other yocal KBers.
So if it's later in December I'll be there. If not I'll just send the rain....:bye:

Early December would best suit me but I'd do my very best to fit in with whichever weekend you decide on. Where was last years event held?

edit - on the dog subject... Manuboys canine friends are lovely... and they provided some entertainment last year (lots of oohs and aaahs from the ladies), so feel free to bring yours along.

Am happy to help with any organising :Punk:

25th October 2006, 11:03
yeah...its a bit tricky
24-6 nov is magpie madness, be away for that one
1-2 dec I will prob be in Melbourne for work again from the sunday, but the saturday would be good ;)
16-17 Cams meeting at ruapuna on the 16th (I think), sunday might be doable
But DEFINATELY a good idea to do it again, even if I can't make it.
Had a great time last year.... I think the highlight was watching Mr Sensible cooking his sausage on the barbie :shutup:

Well just from inital postings it seems the first weekend in December might be a go... however lets see what more people have to say.
I reckon it should be like last year, pretty informal, everyone brings their own meat and drink and maybe a little something else and we will be set... now just to get rashika and the Danger man to let us use that flash bbq again.... insert batting eyelid smilie here ==>

Good thinking Joni
A BYO BBQ sounds like a good cruisy way to go. Spencer park sounds good.
Nove 24/25 We'll be at the Magpie Rally.
I'll be working on the other dates but depending on the time off the BBQ I might be able to blat on out inbetween shifts or later in the evening. Sundays are usually easier for me to do that.

Works well for me. Could zip over to Akaroa, or do the Gebbies pass run, or something else? I'm sure you'll have a couple of ideas that could eat up a couple of hours. Could go through Sumner and on up the hill that way too... Anything involving the port hills usually works for me, good fun. Let's hope it isn't raining!
Hmm. Odds of me keeping up with a Buell? Not farking likely!! :doh: I love my bike, but it having a [useable] top speed of about 120km/h is a pest sometimes. So I'll be slowing you down somewhat. Just so you're aware of that! Send me a text tomorrow if you get the chance - 027 696 7896.

Average Joni, average. :nya:
I had a good day, thanks guys. Good ride around the hills to Diamond Harbour earlier in the afternoon, then standing around in the sun chatting with a whole bunch of people I'd never met before ('cept SpeedyGirl). Glad I made the effort, it was good to finally meet up with some of the regulars after being a member over a year myself! And the weather was good to boot, got a little bit of a red nose from standing in the sun! :sunny:

Well, I did go to the BBQ, didn't spend much time there though as the kids wanted to play on the playground waaaaaay over the other side of the park. Arrived feeling and looking pretty nackered after racing- had a good day racing, managed to get the bike running sweet and found a couple of peices to the arm pump puzzle. Definitely enjoying the Monster.
Anyway, arrived, drank a glass of coke, ate a couple of bits of steak, and then went to keep an eye on the kids. Sorry if I was a bit rude, was nackered. I've said that b4 haven't I.... oh dear. Had a great time playing with the kids, and me being me I was trying out some of the payground equipment. There was this one thing with poles at each end and rings in between- the idea being that you swung hand over hand using the rings to get to the far end. The rings were high enough that my feet were maybe a metre off the ground. I had tried it several times, but with my hands weakend by the days racing I just couldn't do it- left hand always lost grip. Just before we left I thought I'd have another crack at it. Climbed up the pole, swung out on one hand, lost grip with the other, started to do a back flip and hit head pretty hard on the bark chip.:rolleyes:
The next thing I knew Dangerous was asking me if I was all right. I couldn't remember quite where I was, as we walked back to the cars I was told that I had been racing- couldn't remember it at all, but I could see my van with the bike in it, and I was all sticky from racing so I figured it must be right. :wacko: We decided I shouldn't drive, but the lack of spare people left to drive me meant that Speedygirls car would have to be left behind. Dangerous started driving me home, but after a couple of minutes my memory came back, and not wanting to put people to any trouble I decided to drive home very carefully following MrsB and the kids. Dumb idea I know.
So there you go, a good laugh for your Sunday morning! :yes: The weird thing today is that my eyes are all puffed up- not sure what thats all about:spudwhat:

So much for not being one to get burnt :bleh:
Likewise good to catch up and put some faces to names.
