[MadDuck]

I'd be keen as Quasi. It is open to us slow buggers I am hope?

Would just have to back in Whangaparaoa for work by 4pm on the Sunday. Is that feasible? Come to think of it I may be able to sort summit with a branch of ours down that way. Looking good

Yeah it is open to everyone of course fast slow short tall etc etc, its a good chance to socialize a bit and enjoy ourselves.
If you left Tokaanu at 11.00 am you would be home by 2.30 easy 1 hour to get ready for work and chill then 1/2 to get in the job
Hope you come along.

[MadDuck]

waaaahhhaaaayyy...you let short people come along too! Thats me in for sure.

Doesnt take me that long to get ready for work BTW...but it is sounding doable (is that a word?)

Hi Guys looking at the weekend of 16-17th October at this stage for this trip
I have been talking at length to the accomodation spot, Oasis Tokaanu, we have struck a pretty good deal on rates etc ,goes like this

Motel Couples $25.00 per person max 17 couples (34 people)

Cabins singles $17.00 per person max 36 singles (36 people)

Dinner and breakfast deal is not yet finalised but will know in a couple of days.
it will be BBQ style, Pub down the road for Saturday night

FireFight has graciously let us use his trailer for any bike breakdowns and gear storage.

The big issue Im having with this is I have to pay a 50% deposit on the Accomodation which personally I aint doing cause I know what some of you buggars are like if its raining :spudwhat:

So I need to get an idea of numbers now and I also need to get suggestions about the payment options
1/ 50% deposit payed direct to Tokaanu Oasis (could be messy)
2/ I ask for the full amount ie sell a ticket? and pay out of the funds (im not into profit here but wouldnt mind throwing Spank a few bucks)
3/ 50% deposit forwarded to me by cheque (payable to Oasis Tokaanu)I note your attendance and pass payment on to the Oasis

Personally Im thinking I will sell tickets with close of by the end of August simply because it is easiest some of you know where I live.
I have to work it all out but Im thinking it will cost around $55.00 for everything including meals (except booze) this will leave enough for gas on the support vehicle and enough for a donation to Spanks server costs

Let me know your thoughts guys

PS I hope some from south get there arses there to (as its in the middle of the north Island)

Cheers

filler her up?

[V Twin Raver]

Hiya there Brett

I think selling tickets is the best idea, that way you get a firm committment. I'm in as will be Jane I'd suspect as she will want to spend time with me (and in fairness I should give her some Mal time) after my jaunt at Bathurst the weekend before. I should be coherant by then too.

Just a thought. have you discussed bike security with them. I've spent some time in the Turangi territory when holidaying in Kuritau (and spent time in the Tokaanu pub) Some of the locals are scary, (others are very friendly mind you). And with number of flash bikes (incl. a certain 2004 Kwaka) it might raise some interest locally??

I can speak to Oasis re; this if you like??
