The Otago Education board Camp ... on the grounds of the old Bannockburn school ... near Cromwell. It's in a Gully and the few houses in the area (not in sight) are used to noise from there ...

This place sleeps 64 @ 16 pp pn is available if we book now $100 deposit up front,

no fires, no fire works, no bands (not the usual bike rally) it's a family camp

(this from the booking lady)

Damn I was hoping to get to this one. But that's the 1st full weekend in December and clashes with the Long Drop Rally in Duntroon, Dunedin, Timaru and Invercargill toy runs, Chatto Creek 1000 Miler, Southern Safari and many other events.

Both sound great

but I think it's best to go for the camp with more beds! (Banockburn)
We had bout 32 in Brightwater......so would expect to get larger numbers in a location like central Otago? due to being handy to Dunedin as well as Chch
Always nice if there is plenty of accm available and folks don't have to turn up with a tent....just in case!

Whew! You are right, the 7th being a friday. Its just when I saw 7th and 8th I subtracted 7 days to get 30th and 1st. I can make it after-all.

Haha, tents might not be such a bad idea if its as noisy in the morning as it was on Saturday morning with that door slamming and all the snoring etc.

Sleeps 64 according to Shrek's earlier post. Rally would have to double in size to run outta beds. Place sounds good to me. Good riding there and back from most places too.

Bannockburn sleeps 64
Ettrick sleeps 29 in cabins,..... the tents are for the late arrivals

Get it right Tim

So which one were you favouring
