2011 South Island KB rally, Paretai, Lees Valley

Ok as silly as this might sound, are we now set on the weekend ? I need to try and organise leave as I have one weekend off in December and the second weekend aint it.

[Daffyd]

Yup for me.

[Howie]

I say 'go for it'! Any locals that can organise it?

Can't find it on google maps. Where is it exactly?

Do a search on 129 Lee valley road, Nelson. I think that is it from the view anyway.

Looks good to me. I don't mind sleeping on an inflatable mattress on the floor.

Or pack a tent, location looks suitable for camping out and it should be warm enough in Nelson by December

A Christian Camp @ Teapot Valley

Looks a bit flash for our rabble, and you're probably right about the alcohol. I looked up another one out that way and the first rule on the list was no alcohol

Looks like it to me too, nice 5k ride from Brightwater and by the look of it only one neighbor to worry about.

So do I say yes in the other thread, yes in the other poll, or yes in this poll?

Or should there be a calendar event to completely confuse everybody

Awesome work the xknuts...I'll give the lovely lass a call today and sort out a deposit later in the week...payday an' all.

This is a brilliant place to go, no neighbours...township of Brightwater just down the road for supplies, no neighbours, scenery is picture prefect, no neighbours, awesome river, no neighbours, warm, sunny and best of all no neighbours.

Now the next thing is...woudl you guys like a band to come out and entertain on the Sautrday night? Have a friend who sings in a band and I'm sure she love to come out and meet all you lovelies.

If you have any request (of the sensible kind), PM me and I'll see what I can do, might also look at a marquee type thing in case the wet stuff falls...

[GPS MAN]

Would love to go..well like..But, work is calling

I tried sorting a band at Kopara... but the connensus was as they did not play covers it wouldnt go down to well.
If they play the shit we all like when pissed I say SWEET, just remember pissed newts like us like to dance and sing to shit we know well...

[cold comfort]

Those were the days eh? Used to swim there after work many years ago when we had real summers and the river didn't give u an ice cream headache! Certainly gonna try and get the time off.
