However I do like the end of year timing of the event as it fits nicely after the last of the years rallies and before the new years rallies, the weather is usually good, and it's a good "let your hair down / wind down" from the year that's been.
    Are you a rally junkie?

    thats why it was decided to leave it the 2nd weekend of Dec as every one knew when it was on & would give people time to book time off etc...

    & if it was earlier others would not be able to attened so we have a catch twenty two

    me for leaving it as is

    I think the current date is cool even it if it happened I could not get to it, But so far so good.
    As for location for the year aheads one, the northern end sounds totally sweet, Lakes, Tasman, or similer would be wicked.... Karamea would be an interesting destination one year. Tiki touring around old mine sites and stuff.

    My vote is for the 2nd weekend in December as I'm a creature of habit.

    I see Old Mac's is for sale...why don't we all chip in and buy it; then we could go there every year. (PT)

    the northern end of the Sth Island is great, but the camp ground idea is not, if ya remember our sounds were turned off at 11pm as the other campers didn't like it even tho we had booked the camp & forwarned them about the noise they said it would NOT be a problem & yet they turned off the sounds but in saying that we still had a great time

    outdoor centre's, woolsheds with shearers quarters, places like this where jo public can't crash or where we piss them off because of noise etc...
