North/South get-together poll

[oldrider]

Go back 2 or 3 posts john................

OK Mike I am voting March now, North or South should be OK for "most" by the looks of it. John.

The Guys doing the Rusty Nuts Return of the Mini will prefer the last weekend in March cos they'll be on the road for the 22nd/23rd.

Well maybe I got this wrong.
As I recall, the mini finishes in Kaitaia on the Saturday. However, it is an endurance event, so maybe some would choose to keep on going and join us in the Wairarapa on the Sunday.
There were some harder ironbutt feats than that, after the Southern Cross.

And here I thought easter weekend was a goer,would have been perfect ,so how many of you are doing the mini and this event ?

Looks like there could be quite a few of us. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=51034

*low whistle* I reckon the Cliffhanger Hillcimb (closed road) will be running about this time too. Doubt they have settled on a date for it yet, but its around this time. www.cliffhanger.org.nz

I expect some of you fast guys will be entering this....98TLS?

Hmm so would be a good time to have the KB get-together in March and co-ordinate it with the hill climb?

Whos going to start organising this get-together? Any ideas where in the Rapa you want to stay, sorry my backyard isnt quite big enough... and I dont have enough beer.

I reckon it would be a happy coincidence. Maybe the serious hill climbers wouldn't want to be on the large the night before so much.

Over on the other thread, I suggested the camp at the A&P showgrounds in Carterton. The reason was, that it is not a commercial camp and so will be unused (unless there is an event on at the showgrounds of course). This is compared to any commercial camps which will be flat out over Easter.
In addition, if the KB group were the only occupiers, we could set our own rules as to noise, lights out, etc, etc where at a commercial camp we are subject to someone else's.

Excellent idea Neil.... i like the thinking...and correct me if im wrong but isnt that around the street where that multi murder took place years ago and they removed the house?....

Was saying to Anne last night Mel...that someone in Masterton should take this over, theres heaps of time and if ya need a hand with anything just ask. Oh did i mention that i vote You!... its a big undertaking i know but it would be so much easier for someone there to do this. If not, it could fall flat and nothing would get done...if were up this way we would do it without hesitation...it needs that hands on approach....Mark

I dont mind helping to organise it... if I am given enough time and some beer. I havent organise anything on this scale before, so I might have to entice some other rapa/welly people to help me out.

How about if I get some ideas of where to hold the shingdig, and get back to you all.

I need an idea of where abouts you guys want to stay..

For example... Near a Pub? With Cabins or just Tent it?

The A&P show grounds is near the Carterton Brothel... was that another attraction too Bass?

If anyone wants to help me... please PM me. If anyone wants to organise it themselves ... PM me. If anyone has any ideas for this...PM Me! If ya wanna buy me beers PM me.

What about that camp ground close to the Horseshoe?...just over the bridge?
All good questions Mel......i knew you were up to it....
And im sure some of the local KB (Rapa chapta) will help out

...shingdig...

Ok, maybe we should be looking elsewhere for event organisation folks?

[Drum]

Ok, maybe we should be looking elsewhere for event organisation folks?

I agree. It would clearly be more of a hootenanny than a shindig.

Yay you volunteering? Shindig... hootenanny...all you guys want is a place to park the tent, get drunk and ride your bike right?

Hey Lissa........I need more than a tent lovely..........LOL.........and there is nothing wrong with a Hootenanny!!!! We are a quiet bunch really, a place to rest weary heads, some sort of shower facility, must have a flush toilet! Yeah I know girly, girl of the highest order

Mawley Park...it certainly has alot more cabins available.

Another option may be to look at Maraes. Some allow booze onsight. (I know the Te Ore Ore one doesn't)
