I had the best day ever!

I'd just like to boast about my christmas work "do" that we had yesterday.

WE GOT TO FLY IN A HELICOPTER!!

Hee hee, ok We flew to Pencarrow Lodge which is a 4 minute flight east from Wellington airport. To Pencarrow Point. Just west of cape Palliser. Oh it was soooo cool we had a mean lunch. Afterwards the bar was open and a big tab was put on.
Did some clay bird shooting. My first time shooting a gun i think I did bloody well 6 out of 8 the first time and 5 out of 6 the second time.

Pencarrow

Hee hee, ok We flew to Pennsacora Lodge which is a 4 minute flight east from Wellington airport. To Pennsacora Point. Just west of cape Palliser. Oh it was soooo cool we had a mean lunch. Afterwards the bar was open and a big tab was put on.

I tried to find a web site but they don't have one.

Are you sure it's not Pennsacola (as in the place in the U.S.) but named by a Japanese? in which case it would be Cape Parriser I suppose.
Glad you had fun and good one with the clay-birds. (they are shit to cook though and taste bloody awful)

Lucky Bitch, sounds awesome!
We are having ours in the bloody office where we work AND we have to supply our own alcohol! :spudgrr:

add "Shooting a gun" to my list of stuff I hate.

Sounds like a fun trip.

I got a feeling you are talking of Pencarrow Lodge not far from Baring Head and not as far as Cape Palliser hence the 4 minute trip. Been there twice before and enjoyed the hospitality.

I think it was all those 15 hour shifts we did?

Sounds like one of my old work chistmas parties.. "heres a turkey and a bottle of lindauer" mmm I hate both.

Jeeze You'd think that they would splash out a bit..social club? Maybe someone at your work spent it on P?

Yeah, why shoot the gun? what did it ever do to deserve getting shot???

Flying in a helicopter is SO kewl, innit?

Our work do is always at Hotel du Vin, as it's one of the few places that can accommodate >80 people. We get bussed out there for the whole day in two buses, and as soon as we arrive, it's off to the bar. All drinks are paid for, plus snacks and a lunch, claybird shooting, archery, tennis, swimming, petanque, croquet, wine-tasting, etc.

B-o-o-o-r-r-r-ing! After having been there several times (4? 5?), it sucks a bit, especially having to spend the day 'relaxing' with workmates and managers. Last year, I just turned up at work, and buggered off after everyone left on the buses. Dunno what I'll do this year. The best year was when me and a workmate rode our bikes out there, the long way (round through Maraetai, Kaiaua, etc). Brilliant!
