If it's not pissing down with rain I may pootle up for a couple of brews

As it's the home turf so to speak will pop along for a wee visit, be good to meet some other mainlanders. ( I'm a Cantab really )

[Matey]

Sorry I can't be there, am still in Aus for a few days yet. Have a great trip to everyone heading to the Kiwi.
Cheers

Tempting to come down after work, be there by midnight then back before morning tea.......

That would give the busa a good run and there is always a bed if you don't want to be back for morning tea

Another "mainlander" then. The Bergs are origionally from Nelson. Will be good to finally catch up with you

Who's checking their passports when they get off

Good point - perhaps we should microchip them so they dont get lost while they are up here (We dont want any overstayers...)

[Berg]

Think we might chicken out and bring the car tonight. Absolutely hosing down here and blowing like a mongrel. I hope the mainlanders brought plenty of warm dry clothes.

[Hawkeye]

I was going to head up and say hello tonight but I ain't venturing out up the coast road in this weather. Blowing like buggery and persistently raining to boot.

Have one for me guy's

When: Friday 3rd Sept 8ish onwards

Where: Beachcomber Bar, Marine Parade, Paraparaumu
(SH1- turn left at lights, down Kapiti Rd to Beach, left along Marine Parade about 100m and there you are!

Why -Chch Kbers Shrek, MiSTa, and Ghost Bullet are on route to the Cold Kiwi and are spending the night on the Kapiti Coast after their ferry crossing, and would like to have a beer with the locals and meet a few other KBers.

Come n join us

Whatever social standing you have will be nullified by your being seen in the presence of the three stooges mentioned above...

[Berg]

A good evening had by all. Was great to catch up with the mainlanders and ironic that Beachcombers has an effergy of Shrek behind the bar. Hope you guys all enjoy your weekend and dont have too much to worry about after the South Island shake

[Paul in NZ]
