OK - last 2 years we had a bbq at our place. Last time was NOT publicised 'cos i was having a major spaz BUT it was not a wildly popular happening and a dreadful day.
So - this year? Does anyone in Wellington have a better idea?
Suggestions?
A repeat of Slingshots ride with a xmas type feed at the pub?
A BBQ at a park?
A BBQ at some mugs place?
Nothing - bah humbug who needs xmas?
Any sensible suggestions????

Well... myself and another KBer (who owns a little slice of paradise out beyond Masterton) were talking about the possibility (OK it was my idea) of having a BBQ/party post ride around the 'rapa. Thought about doing it in the new year but I dont see why it can't be sooner. All I/we have to do is get the big shed built so there's some sort of accomodation on site... Other than that it's a paddock with a lake and a hill. Still, events have been held with less...

What about we invite a bunch of Pommy immigrants and then burn them in one of those big Celtic Wicker Men like my ancestors used to?
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

My ancestors used to invade other countries and rape, murder and pilage (sometimes in a different order) but I'm not sure that, that would be entirely appropriate - even if it does sound like fun!

Whatever you do, invite the hillbillys from Palmerston North!

A bbq at "some mugs" place has worked well before....but after the 1/10 ride there could be a problem accomodating that sort of crowd? BBQ at a park could be good (Otiahanga Domain springs to mind, or QE park)
Are we thinking a Sunday lunch or a Saturday night party?

If you're English it won't be a waste of time.

Col's idea sounds like a mini rally, which sounds good to me. Ride, eat, drink, be merry and yahoo and then crash in a paddock (or shed if it's made) in a tent is fine. Sick of not being able to get pissy due to having to make it home.
Although, I know not everyone is into getting drunk and talking shit, so maybe the BBQ in a park or at some suckers place would be fine where you have to stay sober to make it home.
My vote's for the paddock.

There are ways to get pissy and still get home.
The paddock sounds great but catering will be harder and everyone would need to help out. The latrines definately become an issue so a portaloo might be needed as well.
There is a reserve outside Levin (near the dog exercise area) thats very nice - has a toilet block, river etc and is close enough so supplies are not a problem?

We could have a hangi!!! Yummmmm, hangi. Anyone know how to put one of those down without getting dirt in the food or giving us all food poisoning?
Forum whore
Sigh.......
A hangi sounds like a lot of work and I'm not sure any council would be terribly keen on holes or open fires.
Thus far there is less initial interest than last year.
It's a very busy time of the year and I'm all for keeping it simple so I vote for a coffee at a cafe some place - I'll post back here when I've had it to let you know what it was like...
Cheers

I've often thought that Totara Reserve , about half an hour out of Palmie , would be a good place for a barbie type occasion and there are some good roads around the area. There is shit loads of room for bikes and room to camp for those who are keen. And NO I don't organise things

Hey I hate Xmas, the only way I can get through it is by getting pissed and pretending I enjoy it. I'll come and have a coffee with you, as long as I can go to the pub afterwards.
