Christmas BBQ Options

[Joanne]

Time for a social meet I think. Please vote on a date and venue above, and the one with the most votes will be what happens!

The idea is to have a BBQ at a beach, meeting in the early afternoon until it's done :) The choices are on the date and location. I've put up three weekends before Christmas and one after. The locations are either Long Bay Beach where we can book a BBQ spot (hopefully), or Big Bay out Waiuku way http://www.smaps.co.nz/nz/franklin/awhitu/big+bay+road/284/ where we'll have to take a couple of BBQ's with us.

It will be BYO, and families welcome :)

I would suggest Dec 6th the best date simply because it is before the school holidays. As to location, it'd be nice to go for a bit of a drive somewhere and Big Bay will be much more secluded, so it gets my vote

You barstewards........go on, rub it in !!!!

A BBQ on the beach meet in December......pah ! /pan

We have our work Christmas do on the 6th, so it is out for me. I agree with Brad on Big Bay.

[Ryan]

Oh cool, this will be my last meet before I head back to the Republic for a few weeks :)

[Subaru ETA]

i cant say as i have to work saturdays again and will have to wait until i get the roster

[bradc]

Noez, our xmas party thing is the 13th/14th, so now I really want it to be the 6th

[william]

With so many Christmas parties and things happening at this time of the year, why don't we do it in January?

[GroundControl]

December 6th is best for me I think, and Big Bay looks like a nice drive (but not fussed on venue) :)

[Adie]

Im not fussed on the date, I agree with big bay, it will be a nicer drive out there

[OnBoost!]

Doesnt really matter about the dates for me...need 2 weeks notice if poss.

Mmm, can only picture 1 CVR-4 member hovering around his makeshift BBQ in Blackpool... IN DECEMBER! (that's you Kyle ;) )

but seriously...this thread needs to be discussed and confirmed as there seems to be a fairly low response to it.

May I suggest Wenderholm as a possible venue as well? It has a beach, ample grassed areas, plus a boat launching / retrieval station.. (jetty?) The grassed areas are also shielded by trees negating the wind factor.

I'll do the dishes :p

[Ryan]

BTTT - getting close now, is there confirmation on what's going on?

[OnBoost!]

Yeah,what is going on?

[bradc]

I dunno, excitement seems to have dimmed.

[OnBoost!]

Oh well..:laugh:

[Subaru ETA]

jess' brother is getting married on the 6th so thats out for me. the weekend of the 13th is best for me

[KiwiTT]

Early January was my pick. Christmas is always so busy.

[Joanne]

Since there hasn't been an overwhelming flow of interest (and I realised that Kenny and I are away on the 13th), it will be left until early next year now... unless there's interesting to go ahead for the 6th?

[bradc]

Well I'm still keen, but I'm not sure if anyone else is!

[OnBoost!]

Yeah i was interested...but doesn't seem anyone else is really.

[Adie]

I'm still interested too

[OnBoost!]

Well that's three so far..:D
