XMAS BBQ - Wellie

[Paul in NZ]

Sorry... But it's getting close to the time to organise this sort of stuff...

Vicki and I would be happy to provide our back yard as the venue for an Wellington KB xmas nosh up and BBQ.....

We just need a date.. Saturdays are good....

We would suggest a ride before hand? End up at our place on the Kapiti Coast 4pm or 5pm (ish) on a saturday, BBQ away, eat, drink and make fools of ourselves?

We can accomodate 4 extra if you need to get seriously fonged or the ride can be earlier and come out in groups in cars / vans / trains so you can really let your hair down ...

Likewise, if this is not suitable, we are happy to slot in other ideas???

I'm in..!

What about the possibility of sticking a tent up in that old orchard next to your garden... or is that taking the pee..?

Well.. It's not very flat and I have not met the new owners yet... (mind you, it's a good chance to tell them it's a traditional right and they have to comply...) Not sure if thats too good an idea.

We can cope with 30 / 40 sweaty bikers (I think) as the side of the house opens up etc. Dunno what we would do if it rained though....

Alternately. We could do a day time run to a restaurant for a buffet? (OOOH! I Likes a niiiice buffet!)

Cheers

Well Paul you have beaten me to it ..... I was going to offer my place for that too!! ... but there is no reason why we can't do 2 is there ?? .... I have a large Area out the back of my my place and I have 2 large tents as well. I thought that we could do a ride out this way down to say Masterton and back and Ihave access to a golf course that we could either play golf at or mini-putt if that takes too long !!
So I'll keep an eye this thread and see if I can't aim to have mine after yours ...you can't have too many BBQs in summer can ya ??

[Slipstream]

The chances of babysitters are slim to none around xmas time.
Either party child friendly :baby: :baby: ? I could bring free child slave labour :shifty: ...I mean the kids might help :whistle: :sweatdrop *whew* :D

I wouldn't mind being the child entertainer for other peoples kids either...um...no clown suits or red noses tho sorry...I'm just a chase-round-after-the-kids kind of gal :)

[jazbug5]

Oops.

Forgot you mentioned that'd been sold.
I'm not very good in the mornings, you know...
Anyhoo, looking forward to it already

[wari]

AHhhouuu ... I like Bar-B-QUeues ... :yeah:

I Hope ya havit on a weakend when I can come ...

LONge ride fur me ... butt ... I've done strangrrr thinges ... :thud:

[Ms Piggy]

I'm keen as, anytime after the 1st Nov, oh and as long as it's not the 1st w/e of December.

The Handbrake - I'd have no problem with it to being kid friendly.

Either venue sounds good to me.

[Hitcher]

I'll discuss this with Mrs H but Saturdays suit us best due to her working hours.

We're happy to bring food. Is there such a thing as a "pot luck" barbeque?

PS: Just set a date. If we can, we can. If we can't, we can't.
PPS: We quite like kids. Deep fried, preferably...

[Slingshot]

Sounds good, set a date quick cause November & December is filling up quick. Don't forget the Coast to Coast run is normally on in early December and I expect to see you all there.
I'll try and find the date for that and I'll post about it.

[Blakamin]

Sounds like fun....2 BBQ's

[Paul in NZ]

Choice is 27th nov or 11th Dec

Venue is kid friendly (I'll get rid of the dog for the day) but I'm past lookin' after em. Long as they don't bring stuff that used to be alive (or is still alive) inside I'm cool!

(big section with a hill and hammocks and stuff)

Cheers

[bungbung]

Saturday BBQ is fine, kids fine.

[the yoshie]

I live on the coast I can bring around a 4 burner bbq any saturday is ok

What can I say...I'm a sucker for punishment...look at what i mean who I'm married too ;) Luv ya babe :love:

[MD]

Noble gesture Paul. I haven't met you yet so here's a chance to say hello, eat your food, trash your place, dump the Kids and clear off before you notice. Nah, seriously sounds a good idea so I'll try for whatever date you pick. Not sure about bringin the Kids after Hitcher's comments. Can Mrs H feed feed him well before arriving.
ps- got my KB T-shirt today so I can wear that to identify myself amongst the crowd, that will probably also be wearing KB T-shirts.

[Marknz]

I'll be a starter for both. Good on ya paul and Hooks for picking up the ball and running with it.

Kids aye... how old are they? Do we have a Santa?

Yeah right !! they are little angels compared to my lot!!! .....

[Uncle B]

Thanks Paul great idea & most suitable venue. I love a BBQ....have them all year round (winter under the carport).

I'd be keen on a ride before hand to build up a hunger. :niceone:

[bisfree]

well me old mate, as I'm just around the corner, this is looking like a great idea!!

[FROSTY]

um er um is this like exclusive to welly guys or could a dorklander come say gidday??
Now how far from welly airport is th kapity coast??

[trevf]

just looked at my work roster and im not working on the 27 Nov. A xmas ride and get together sounds great as I could put some faces to the names-would it be ok if I came along. :beer:

[Hitcher]

um er um is this like exclusive to welly guys or could a dorklander come say gidday??
Now how far from welly airport is th kapity coast??
Some distance. I recommend strongly cadging a lift or you won't get much change out of $100 from Vlad the Impaler in his taxi...

[James Deuce]

Some distance. I recommend strongly cadging a lift or you won't get much change out of $100 from Vlad the Impaler in his taxi...

I'm thinking more like 200, given that it costs 65-75 to get to Upper Hut from the airport now. It costs 40-45 bucks to my place in Lower Hutt for goodness sake.

I am sure something can be done, by way of organising a lift for the dodgy Pomgolian/JAFA cross fulla what rides crashed green motovelocipedes, closer to the time! :)

[White trash]

It's a very enjoyable jaunt in the Trashmobile.

[FROSTY]

wohoo--a ride in trashies slidemobile -yeehaaa

[White trash]

Even take ya over the Piecockareekie hill rd. Now that's fun.

Unless you're an old bugger with too much money, an AC Cobra, and a point to prove with your brother.

[Skunk]

I'll be into this. If there's no ride organised I can give lift lift to those around Newlands in the mighty 'K BUS'.

Now where is the venue? :whistle:

[FROSTY]

now if i could just find a bike i could find how good that darn hill really is

They towed it to the building next door to my work... FARQ... the owner hadnt seen it at the time... the brother was driving... a bit of a bumpy ride on that 12 ft of road now

It'd be good to see you again. If not at the party at least down in Wellvegas:)

[Paul in NZ]

Folks...

This is a KB Xmas party. All KB'ers are welcome. If you have the moxy to come from further afield than Wellie then remeber we can provide limited accomodation for up to 4. Tony (Mr XJ) you have first dibs on a bed - it's 50km but if you are coming we can arrange rides, no sweat. For that matter the train is $6 off peak)

We have a large section with enough wilderness for kids to get lost in and we are 5 mins from the beach if they get bored and the weather is great. Borrow a kayak if you want (happy to lend them if you know what you are doing, no way if you don't - Don't want any drownings.

As time goes on, I will issue a 'general rules of engagement' notice but it will all be commonsense. ie, bring stuff to eat and drink, If you have an odd diet, bring stuff, look after your kids (it IS a wilderness OK and our dog is not that fussy about where she goes number 2's), wipe ya bloody feet, act (semi) responsibly and don't ruin anyone elses fun!!! :sly:

Gawd knows what we will do if it rains.... :shutup:

We will provide a collection of groovy music, shelter, paper plates, bbq, ice and all the other stuff... You will have fun (bring your dancing shoes)

You will enjoy it I promise....

I'll be a starter for both, might even bring the missus if she doesnt have uni exams on.
Hooks, I'm all keen for a ride/bbq in palmy, so give us a yell when you are looking for numbers and/or help.
Might have to get togther for a ride with all the Palmy folk one day :niceone:

Mate I'm always up for a ride ...
As to the timing ... would a New Years Eve party be a good idea ?? ... I have plenty of space out the back of my section and it's not too bad a spot ... 5 mins from the middle of town and not far from the Freyberg Pool too .... As I said I 2 largetents so even if the weather goes bad we can still party and have somewhere to crash afterwards .....

Is there any bike related stuff on Manfield round that period that would be worth going to then back to your place Hooks afterwards (maybe via a longish detour??)

[Hooks]

I'm not too sure Dave ... I'll check the manfield website and see ... maybe someone else on here might have the dates for the next track days ..... I'll go look anyway ....

[StoneChucker]

Never have I met a group of people so well-meaning and friendly!
Yeah, I'm in, both occasions, anytime/place or weather.
Paul, can your wife make some more of that A-MAZING pasta, or give me a receipe? hmmmm
PS: if it rains, it'll just make it easier to do burn-outs in your driveway (since Deano is so unwilling to accomodate us in that dept. :msn-wink: )
PPS: Under the affects of alcohol, I may need someone to lasso me, hog tie and put me somewhere safe around midnight :killingme Just j/k, maybe...

[jazbug5]

Stoney, what have I told you about your kinky interests?
First it's asking Cath to dress up in an air hostess outfit, then it's asking folk to truss and hog tie you in public.
Where will it all end..?

Jaz

PS I have some very obliging (and discreet) friends over in NY I could put you in touch with..

Yes Stoney - there's love and there's that special kinda love. Mind you...maybe after midnight we could get him in the Air Hostess outfit! :msn-wink: I only have handcuffs so I guess they'll have to do as far as hog tying goes.

New Years sounds like a great plane too - although possibly meeting the man in Nelson on NY day....shall see nearer the time I guess.

[StoneChucker]

then it's asking folk to truss and hog tie you in public
Hey, it's for your own mental safety, it's up to you :stupid: :killingme:

It prob won't end btw, it's the cross I bear :D hehehehe

[svs]

this all sounds like a fine plan. Being up the coast as well, if there is anything you need a hand with Paul, then let me know. 3rd BBQ perhaps??

BTW last time I got a taxi from the airport home it cost $125 (work paid)

Yeah ?? I used to catch taxis home all the time from welly to pram ... back in the 80's ... it used to cost $120 then !!!

Primo mate. I'll be there. Another chance for me to get messy and make a complete cock out of myself.

[FROSTY]

well if I can cop a plane down i'm in-prolly a bit late but what the hey
As for bring ya own booze---Im only allowed 20kg so that keg of blue goose is just not gonna happen.

[Paul in NZ]

OK. It's all go.

Lot's of offers of help, we will need it and all but lets firm that up closer to the day.

I'll see what i can do re the pasta but Vicki works for a pasta company so i can see a big pot of that on the menu.

We will definately need at least 2 bbq's. I'm guessing 30 odd people (plus 4 normal ones) so it will be a case of many hands make light work.

I suggest we keep it simple.... If anyone feels the need to get complicated, knock yourselves out... We need a good bit of entertainment ;-)

Cheers

[FROSTY]

well I spose I could always parachute in lol-thatd be entertaining

[Hitcher]

Mrs H and I are starters. Has a date been finalised yet?

We'll bring some assorted cuts of herbivore to roast...

[StoneChucker]

27th November from what I saw earlier. If Paul could edit the original post, and put the date/time in the subject that would be wickid :msn-wink:

Hi guys - Paul, what a great idea. I'm really sorry but Hamish and I won't be able to make it - we're going to be away that weekend.

Hooks - what was the date of yours again? We're pretty well tied up (as it were - don't get excited SC!!) each w/end till Christmas, but would love to come to P/Nth if it was one of our few free w/ends.
.

[StoneChucker]

Let me nip this one in the unmentionables right now lol...

as it were - don't get excited SC!!
I never said I would, and I don't lol. I don't want any rumours spreading, and festering into something uncontrollable :D

[Velox]

I've got a wedding reception to go to out at Pauatahanui that night, but if there's still a ride being planned beforehand I might be able to do that between the wedding and reception? Especially if it involves Paekak hill.

[White trash]

(plus 4 normal ones)

Cheers

Who the fuck would they be?

[Paul in NZ]

Who the fuck would they be?

Weeeelllll......

When I say 'normal' I really mean MORE normal.....

In our case they will be the ones wearing the rubber nun's outfits riding unicycles while juggling flaming kittens and running chainsaws.

Well I was thinking of New Years eve ... but if anyone has a better date ... as in the next track day at manfield ... if there are any between now and then ... I am open to suggestions ..... :Playnice:

Hey Paul I'll be a starter for your one too ... :Punk: I can kip down around the corner at my mates place ... there is probably room for a couple more there too ... I won't tell them about that though ... :shifty: we can just rock up ... :headbang: they're pretty cool :stoogie: and only live round in Matai Rd so we can just tramp over the hill to their place !!!

And don't forget Stone Chucker with his Air Hostess outfit and hand cuffs!

Brilliant mate all welcome !!! .... I'll test the waters at the coasters BBQ to see who's interested in a New Years Eve one ....

NYE would probably work for us, we're going to be scooting round the Nth Island for a week or so after Wanganui, so all things being equal should be able to arrange to be in P/Nth NYE.

I'm another raumati-ite. just heard about bbq - count me in! Do you need any stuff - plastic chairs etc??

Can we come to the BBQ too Paul? Is our tribe too much to add to the list?

Do we have a date yet?

I would like to come too if possible! gotta have a few of us from up north ;)

:spudwave:

[StoneChucker]

You know the NZ immigration law, "No two South Africans may congregate in any one area, at one time". We already broke that at the Rally, I think a second breech will send the authorities into a frenzy :banana:

:rockon:

[Hooks]

Hey Paul I might be able to help out with some accom if needed ... just give me a day or so to put itogether, my friends could be away that weekend .... so we could take over their place ......

[Paul in NZ]

Holy crap I've created a monsta!

Look! EVERYONE is welcome as long as you have a good attitude and accept that there is a finite limit to what we can do on a BBQ and in one house..

The date IS Nov sat the 27th!

I'm sorry if it seems like I've dropped the ball on this, I have been stupidly busy (got home at 8pm which is not bad except I left home at 6;30 am)

Vicki and I are off to the Guzzi Rally this weekend and then I have a business trip to nail and THEN I will do a NEW post (with the date in the title) and we will post a set of standing orders for the day!

Looks like it is gunna be a BLAST! (better warn the neighbours)

Paul N

[Ms Piggy]

Hey All towns folk - does anyone think we could maybe organise transport to and from Pauls place amongst us? Is there anyone who is willing to be a sober driver and anyone that has a van we could use? Or maybe some car pooling. I don't have a car or van and I know there are trains out that way but I think the return trip may be an issue.

That way Paul will know that we're all definitely going to leave!

:wavey: Nice to see you and nice to see you go.

[DarkNinja]

Hey guys i'll be keen to go, be nice to meet all of you, or at least meet some motorcyclists!
I have my cage and i wont be drinking too much (not enough to fail a b/test anyway) so if that offer is of any help, its there.
If theres a ride over paekak, on the other hand, that would be AWESOME!
I'll prolly be one of the youngest motorcyclists there!

[Joni]

You know the NZ immigration law, "No two South Africans may congregate in any one area, at one time". We already broke that at the Rally, I think a second breech will send the authorities into a frenzy :banana:

Well bring 'em on.... We'll numb them with alchohol.... :buggerd:

Will be good to meet ya at last. (en niks van die taal praat nie hoor!)

We all have to be sensible for there is a 'Sprint' on the following day.
