Good point Zapf, koha is a great idea, I hate the idea of turning up empty handed somewhere, but if I can contribute with a little moolah or turn some sausages on the barby or wash some dishes, I would love to.

Please don't stress or make a big deal out of it - it's not much $$ and we are genuinely pleased to do it and we just want folks to relax a bit after a trying week. If you want to contribute - take a harder road and try to make a difference in someone elses life this week - that would genuinely please me no end.

Vicki and I will provide a couple of bags of basic snags, bread, sauce and some salads in plastic bowls from pak n save - simple stuff - fast to cook.

If you need fancy or have special dietary needs - there will be a basic BBQ and tools for you to make us all drool. All little titbits will be pooled so any contibutions of food will be used - please don't go nuts - simple....

Please try to bring your own drinks but for those on bikes we will try to get in some supplies - we will make every effort because we know some of you will be travelling light and fast. I'll try for Ice in a bucket too...

The purpose is for us to get together - not a demonstration of my meagre buying power or largesse - the whole deal will be paper plate simple.

By all means, ANY help with cooking, clearing etc will be gratefully recieved - I expect too many people for me to be waiting on you all ;-) sorry....

We are not precious people but if you have muddy bike boots - leave em at the door

Please don't step on the dog (shes old and can't get out of the way) please don't feed her and watch out for poos on the lawn (don't ask)

At some stage in the evening - I will ask for a little hush - and propose a toast - if someone needs to get stuff off their chest, thats the time - please see me beforehand if possible but if the moment moves you - speak.

Thats it - sorry about all the above - I'll probably get trollied and ignore em meself...

edit

If any of you newer members are a little bewildered by all of this and never even met UncleB and are wondering if you should come along etc - PLEASE do so and introduce yourself. Don't be shy - I think you will learn something about motorcycling they don't teach you in books... PM me for directions.

Great idea ,I will be there

For all those coming down to Wellington - a word to the wise. There are roadworks along the coast road between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay. The speeds signs are nuts 100-80-50-70-80-50-80-70-50 ... all in the space of 7km! The grannies of course knock 10kmh off that just to be sure

Oh yeh, the point? Watch the (bolded) 50 along by the sea ... the fixed camera is locked and loaded ... and doing great business

got room for one more?... due to work ( a new job) I might not be able to make the funerals but I would like to be at a bit of a tribute for the Bruces as I have ridden, and learnt, from/with them both.

**Sphinx** · 5th December 2006, 20:32

Take the road over the Paekak' Hill instead - it's heaps more fun and with those crazy speed limits is probably even faster.
