June 2008 Brass Monkey

[Ruralman]

yes, but the first few rallies were held on the first weekend in July. Then they changed it to the first weekend in June. That is much warmer.

Is there an alternative venue thing happening at Chatto Creek again????

[Jantar]

Yes, there sure is. And we have booked the same entertainer as last year.

So any more info Jantar?

I am working on a trip to the Brass this year if I can get the moons aligned and the K bike fixed.

Cheers

Our club meeting is on tuesday evening, and I'll find out more then. However if it follows the same format as last year then you can read more here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=51155

It is basically a club event, but held at the Chatto Creek Tavern with plenty of room for tents. Normal pub grub is available till quite late, and booze at normal pub prices. There is no charge, but the club is always on the lookout for new members.

Going to head down if I can get the K bike running this week. (most likely as parts arriving ).

Have family in Westport and ChCh so expect to stop in bed/beer/breakfast either way.

Anyone heading down? Havn't booked ferry tickets etc but will do this week. Its a long way alone...

I think this is my 19 or 20th Brass. Probably going to stay in Oamaru overnite there is a new resturant I want to try out there called the Wiskey bar and cafe (anybody been there?). If the weather is good i would like to come back up the west coast but is very weather dependent.
If you are walking around the camp, drop in and say hi, we always stay on the top of the grassy noel overlooking the lake at the back of the camping area.

Yes I sampled their Whiskey several times. Friends have dined there & have given the thumbs up. There is another new restaurant & bar just a bit further around called Harbour View and that is worth checking out as well. Cheers

I cant wait, only 3 weeks to go, orsym. It will be frosty, chances are it will be raining, but all worth it, to catch up with other bikers round the biggest bonfire I have ever seen, listen to a live band and get mother fucked, thats what a good rally is all about.

[xgnr]

I have just worked out that I have a B'day when on the way down so does that count as being a birthday on the Rally??
