[Ruralman]

I seem to recall a slightly seedy feeling meself... but then 1 litre of Baileys can do that to a person..

The cream in it must have been off?????

Hey guys this page of memorial shit throwing just reminds us of what a great weekend that was - the idea of this thread was to help choose some potential venues we could suss out for the next one.

Are there any members who know what there could be say around lake Coleridge
that would be suitable??

I think there are plenty of facilities at Coleridge Power Station village.

Since NZED was disestablished corporatised and broken up all of the village facilities are now under private management and last I had anything to do with it they were looking good!

Send a scouting party out to find out whats there now. Should be a good ride out from Christchurch. (or Rakaia Bill) Cheers John.

The Sprot bikes will be just fine.... not sure about the sport bikes though.
No problem, it'll just take em a liddle longer to get there.

I am well under way with a badge commemorating the "1st KB South Island Rally" for the participants of Otematata December 2006. Costs will be $10.00 by sending a Stamped self addressed envelope to Xknuts / Chris Miller, P O Box 5296, Dunedin.

Chris, you're the man, or is it just great minds... As you are already onto this, how about looking at doing it for this year's also. I am in for a badge for last year.

I think there were about 23 at last years.

I asked Spank in the weekend about the use of the KB logo for a badge and he didn't seem to have any problems. If people think that is a good idea, would be good to PM Spank to confirm.

There's a few facilities at the Coleridge Power Station village, then there's Lake Coleridge Station which has facilities at either end of the lake though to get to it there's 6km of heavy shingle rd to the main homestead and then another 20km of shingle up to the top of the lake. Or Ryton Station roughly halfway up the lake.

You can shove terrace downs that's unless your shouting

Lake Lyndon Rd is regularly graded & hides plenty of axle bending ruts for 4x4s so it'd be a careful journey on a roadbike

Looking at places like Terrace Downs is detracting from the atmosphere of a weekend were we can enjoy ourselves without worrying to much about what we get up to
Places like Otematata have all the amenities we require etc plus the appeal of of unique areas that general public don't get to see.

As this is going to be an annual event, what the possibility that each year around this time a thread such as this gauges numbers that will be attending, appoints two KBers to pick a location (that could remain a mystery until the time & has to be different from the previous year) that is set within certain specifications, and allows the chosen two time to pick the spot & do the necessary arranging and the attendees time to plan & prepare for the weekend away.

I'll be in for one of those!!!

Thanks Speedy, where ya been girl, lying low???

Thanks Silo, yeah, great minds etc!
Of Course I will, And the reason I'm not using KB Logo is that I can utilise a pictorial photo of the chosen site/local feature of the area we choose each year. Instead of like rallys where they just change the badge colour each year, we will have a background picture and date to remember each yearly event.

Oh each badge will be such an emotional piece of history uh, of rememberance.
How specal' (said with a lisp)(not knocking those that may have a lisp) (lisp's can be cool)

Cant wait to send me dollars now!

Another little thought, Dansey Pass Camping ground and motor camp!

There are cabins and camping spots, we used to go there years ago with the kids and fosic for gold etc.(obviously I never found the Klondike)

Most of you must have been past it at sometime it's on the North Otago side of the pass, sealed all the way! Cheers John.

That is a great spot in there and it would work well for a get together. The only issue its a long way for those up the North end of the Island (is there anyone North of Rangiora planning on coming?? that doesn't just happen to ride a four cylinder 400cc cruise missile?). It would be great for those of us between Rangiora and Balclutha and the Hinterlands

(is there anyone North of Rangiora planning on coming??)

Technacally(spelt wrong I know) I am North of Rangiora by maybe a kilometre... so to far for me sorry.....
