KB Xmas 2006

[Paul in NZ]

I've often thought that Totara Reserve , about half an hour out of Palmie , would be a good place for a barbie type occasion and there are some good roads around the area. There is shit loads of room for bikes and room to camp for those who are keen. And NO I don't organise things

Yup - there is like bunk rooms and a communal area. I've been to a couple of bike rallies there. Very good but it would be more of a full on rally situation without the paid for catering facilities. I just would not have time in december.

Cheers

ohh, PINZ, hohoho, mate, cheer up, it's almost Xmas!!
Hey I hate Xmas, the only way I can get through it is by getting pissed and pretending I enjoy it. I'll come and have a coffee with you, as long as I can go to the pub afterwards.
Mrs KD.

fairynuff.... I kinda like xmas but I hate the presents side of it. Love the good will, the xmas music, decorations and a day of special feeds and a few drinks with friends and family.

I just threw in an idea to see who is keen. It's no biggie but if people are NOT keen on the idea of a get together I'd like to see that as well or alternate suggestions....

Meh! I'll be having fun regardless - trust me on that....

A Wgtn organised rally could be a great idea.... but not around Xmas - too much other stuff on.

For a Xmas do, we really just all need to get together one night for a bbq/piss-up? Something we bring partners to...(so they can drive us home...)

'Cos the council has banned open fires without a permit mate and guess what - the cunning english have taken over the council so you can't burn people - no - not even witches.

Damn these PC times we live in.

Tell you what, here's a deal for you - you burn Englishmen and us POMs will find another front-line to send all you sacrificial Colonials to.....then we're even



Or we could all sit around and get drunk and be NICE to one another, without the need for burning or gunfire! LOL

[James Deuce]

Ahah! Found a Hutt Witch. We don't have any bylaws about burning witches.

Or drowning them. You can't swim can you?

But wait, my employer has an Air-Curtain Incinerator. This solves not only the issue around Council restrictions on open fires, but also provides the ability to immolate about 20-times more Poms in about 25% of the time required by the traditional pyre.

Sure can m'dear. Can also breathe through my ears...will that go in my favour at the trial?

You can't burn me! Do you have any idea of the impact of that much blubber being set on fire???!!!!!

[Skunk]

A repeat of Slingshots ride with a xmas type feed at the pub?

A BBQ at a park?

A BBQ at some mugs place?

I'm all for something simple... The BBQ two years ago was great, as was the much smaller get together last year.

Do anything, but I don't think a 'Rally' or camp is required.

A BBQ at a park?

I like this one.

Rimutaka Forest Park (down the Wainuiomata Coast Rd) could be a good place; likewise many others of the road-ends that trampers use - Holdsworth in the Wararapa, Otaki Forks etc.

Yup sounds good - do they have BBq's there or do we have to haul one? Also - for the more timid, a venue without a gravel rd could be better for m/cycles of the knee scraping variety...

Queen Elizabeth park at either entrance has some good sites.

Cheers

Yes there are BBQs at the Rimutaka Forest Park. Even Gas bottles, you just need to rent a key to get at them.

When I get my bike back, me and rwh will go and check it out
