Get Together

[Paul in NZ]

OK - this might be a bit - wierd but I would appreciate your feedback.

Mindful of the Aucklanders that are coming down to Wellington for the funerals of Uncle b and Loosebruce AND the locals of course. Vicki and I are happy to open our house either friday night or saturday so you can get together and - well do whatever you need to do but will include a chance to toast our absent friends.

We will supply a BBQ and basic sausage / roll stuff.

I'm also prepared to try and find another venue closer to town (we are 50km north of wellie in Raumati) but everything thus far is booked for xmas parties. My intention is that this will be more a happy wake than a dirge but will NOT be a balls out drunken, throw up on the carpet knees up either - try to show a bit of style eh and ANYONE attempting to drive home under the influence ISN'T....

Sorry - didn't mean it to be a downer.

ANYWAY - the offer is there - don't care if it's 2 people or 50, if you want it to happen - post here - if not - the thread will slip away into the night.

I would really like a get-together. It's good idea.

And a chance to meet some of our northern brethren.

[Trudes]

That's a lovely idea, thank you .

OK - then thats a goer. Please let me know friday or sat?

Please let the Aucklanders know so they can express a preference around any travel plans.

Riffer says he got into trouble last time he went on "One of 'those' things"...

In that case I'm in!

[Hitcher]

The Hitchers would prefer Saturday.

Prefer Fri night cause 1- folk might want to head North on Sat and 2 - the Coast 2 Coast on Sat and some of us will be in Akito.......

PS - the Wed night ride - TCWNR - of which Bruce was one of the originators - would be a good opportunity for us to get together for both a ride and a toast in his honour.

Very kind of you for this offer Paul.

A memorial ride to your place, a lemonade and a time of sharing our memories. Then a quiet ride, home by 10pm.

Folks - I know the coast to coast is sat and that this is short notice.

I'm hoping the wellie folk will be adaptable and fit in with our northern guests - regardless of the date - some will miss out - can't be helped eh?

I am also mindful that people will want to stay on after the friday funeral and may indeed prefer having a few beers with the family or whatever. I just don't know what else to do for you all - so I've made this less than perfect offer.

Lets wait to see what the northern folks would like?

Ahh the hospitable face of the Wellingtonians warms the cockles of my heart (me being a Wellingtonian!) I wish I was coming back down with a happier purpose, sorting out travel/time off arrangements and accomodation now!

[bugjuice]

I'd appreciate that..

[justsomeguy]

Thank you Paul for deciding to arrange this.

I would prefer Friday night.

I believe most of the Auckland riders would be riding home by Saturday Morning at the latest.

I'll stick my hand up for Friday as I can see the Northern crew heading back Saturday.

Paul,

This would be great. Expescially for those like myself that can't make the Funeral.

Friday night would be best suited.

May young guys like myself come?

The fact you asked demostrates that you are a well bought up young gent - of course you can - don't be shy but I don't expect this to be too 'mad'.

pm me for the address folks
