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.

I'm with Maha - all good questions - leadership eminating from every pore.
Having a knocking shop close at hand is a definite plus but of course only tent sites. Probably unsuitable then.
Just one question - how did you know where the knocking shop is?
Part time job.........????

Well.. I am gathering information about suitable sites at the moment. I have a couple of people to help me out with running this gathering.... Yay

and beer for them.

Will be a well organised hootenanny... Once I have a date as to when in March.

I'll take the TL for a strop up there

blow the cobwebs out of her & get rid of the chicken strips for ya

Tis true what you say though about the possibility of an off & getting things home again. Just have a bit of play on the rimutakas on the way up

**skelstar** · 17th June 2007, 20:42

Well very few poeple have offs during that event...may have a lot to do with having soo many runs up there and getting faster can be an incremental thing.

There maybe better people to theorise about this though..

I reckon it is about time that we made a choice, seems that we have a majority for March at this stage, but before we do make a choice, I wonder if it is worth us letting our KB friends that have not seen this know. If we really want this to happen we need to get it sorted sooner rather than later. I vote we PM any of our mates that have not made a comment on here to let them know it is in the planning stages and maybe make a decision as to when/then where by the end of June.

**Colapop** · 17th June 2007, 20:57

Well it appears March is the answer just need to set the date/weekend...

Another poll...?

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.

OMG what are you SAYING???? Carterton is a VERY busy place thank you

What am I saying??
Just that, since the AMP showgrounds camp is not a commercial campsite, it's occupancy can be independant of public holidays.
Maha seemed to get that interpretation immediately.
Anyway, it's all moot cos it only has tentsites and no cabins.
Finally, having tried to find accomodation somewhere around Carterton between Christmas and New Year, I agree with you. It is a busy place.
Especially the north end (according to Lissa)

Has anyone mentioned the 'christian' camp setup on the Masterton bypass? Facilities are rudimentary but all there.

Would they allow alcohol and all the other FUN stuff that comes with KB gatherings?

Going to start ringing a few places... get an idea what the facilities are like.
