For those that missed the thread decribing the venues, I have found the Staging post (see below) and I can tell ya what Ota's is like: 10 2-3 bunk rooms, lounge, kitchen, showers etc (see pic)

I however know nothing of Mt Summers... anyone care to elaborate?



I KNOW a great place.. "The Staging Post" near Parnassus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (about 40ks south of Kaikoura!) We have had several of our Plains Club doo's there & a wedding!!! it's awesome.. several cabins, bunkrooms, big lounge area, 2 kitchens with all the gear, a few caravans, oodles of tent space, swimming pool, peacocks running round!!! spa pool outside with fairy lights in the trees above.. it would be PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana:

[MyGSXF]

Ok.. I've just phoned Gypsy to check details again.. & she has "pencilled" us in for the 8th of Dec! :rockon:

For those who wish to arrive on the Fri night, that is fine also! If you stay both Fri & Sat night, it will cost you $10.00 per night. For those who stay just the Sat night it will cost you $15.00 for the one night.

There is beds for approx 34 people. This includes several cabins, a back packers, & a couple of caravans. There is a huge gorgeous park in which to put ya tents up also.

The big in ground concrete swimming pool will be ready for use, as will the spa pool! also a tennis court!

They have done a lot of tidying up & upgrading the facilities of late also & it sounds great what Gypsy was saying! There are a couple of toilet/shower blocks, & 2 well stocked kitchens for use. & a spit roast pit!! who could bring a sheep/pig????!!!!!

Trust me folks.. it's an AWESOME place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yes: you won't be disappointed!!

Plains are having our next doo there beginning of Sept, so I will get some photos then & put them up so you can get an idea, if this is the chosen venue for the kb doo!! :Punk:

Gonna make a huge effort to get the time off for this one (assuming the Staging Post). Many favourite roads from the old stamping ground based in Nelson-Murchison,Lewis,Takaka Hill..the list goes on. Probably make a West Coast tour out of it to avoid the BORING road to ChCH!!

[T.W.R]

They have to be made aware of the possibility that we might be there otherwise it could be booked for that weekend :yes:

It's not the money, for me it's just being recognised as "easy"! :innocent:

Just being "recognised" is a good look these days. :mellow: Shhh, don't tell Mrs O/r. John.

[miSTa]

When is the poll going to close Jantar?

[Jantar]

I haven't set an eaxct closing date in the options, but I believe we should leave it open for at least a week (that would be until sunday), then until we have had two full days with no further votes.

Regards all, from a limping Woodybee:bye:

[MyGSXF]

Ok.. Have just got off the phone after speaking to Gypsy. We are confirmed for Fri & Sat nights 7th & 8th Dec!!! :wari:

I said I would keep her up to date with numbers etc, closer to the time.. but can the powers to be please put a registration list (whatever they are called) on this thread.. to make it real easy to see exact numbers of confirmed bods ??? would be most helpful! cheers! :yes:

As for beds.. it will be, find your bed when you get there! :yes: Most of the cabins have a few beds in them. (generally a double & 2-3 singles) & the 'backpackers' unit is just that. There will be 2 caravans available as well, a wee bit away from the main cabins. So first 2 pms to me.. will get them. :niceone:

Anything else ya wanna know for now.. just ask & I will endeavour to answer.. :innocent:
