Too pricey/flash, and we're likely to upset people here

Same could be said for TeNikau.

- so is it "no clothes allowed" the rest of the year?

My plug is for a site is:
- it has enough facilities to ensure the softies aren't put off.
- it isn't too close to other significant rallies in the SI
- it doesn't have neighbours to bother
- not too expensive

So my picks so far are:
Kopara (a magic place), or the Blackball area
Seddonville (especially if we can take over the whole camp)

Not a lot of space for bikes or tents either. Very lovely place, but not suited for a rowdy mob I'd have to agree.

I was about to suggest Banks Peninsula somewhere - because it is very nice indeed. However, there's quite a few gravel roads (could be avoided if necessary). On the flip side there aren't really any campgrounds, but maybe a paddock could be borrowed if the right enquiries were made - doesn't solve the "enough facilities" issue though.
On the other hand - a good ride away from Christchurch wouldn't be a bad thing.

i personally dont care where it is too, but my preferance is Seddonville!

I will be down, and who knows...may bring some more country music!

This place is in the same area but a little of the track so to speak. Stayed here once before. Website does not do the place justice.

Perhaps we could go "there" next year!

Speaking of which - did your starting technique actually make it to the small screen in the end?

I don't actually know the answer to that!

The Tiger sits a bit closer to the ground now. (sort of in a power crouch)

Starting and stopping manoeuvres have improved now, ever so minutely but never the less, improved!

cheers, John.

Ha! You're not confusing power crouch with power dump are you

Looks Fabulous, Bernard

46 persons is the limit for beds, plus tents so would be OK.
Costs would vary from $25 - $33 per night if the dearer lodges were full.
They have a fire !
BUT is the cafe a communal kitchen???????

I have the Tautuku Outdoor Education Centre pencilled in for next year.

It's so popular it's booked up to 2 years in advance.

What was the news bit? I missed it 'cos I was out mowing lawns.
