Where: Wenderholm Regional Park (http://www.arc.govt.nz/parks/our-parks/parks-in-the-region/wenderholm/)
Picnic site 1, in front of the Couldrey House Grounds. There's a wood burning BBQ and a table there.

When: from midday

Can someone bring a BBQ please?

BYO meat and drinks :)

The club will be providing some meat for the BBQ, salad, bread and the like.

What time do you finish work? Wenderholm isn't far from Albany, so you can probably come up and join us when you finish :)

Goku

Hey guys

We now have 5 confirmed attendances (or mostly confirmed :P)

The first post has been updated with additional information such as that the club has booked a site and will also be providing food.

It would be great to get more confirm as it would allow us to better determine just how much food is needed!

Being a Sunday I should be able to make it, But this may change closer to the time

Ryan

Ryan
12-01-2009, 06:53 AM
Maybe people can bring some games or something?

I can bring a football and a NERF ball. Would be cool to have some frisbees and maybe some beach cricket or something? :D

dickytim
12-01-2009, 07:03 AM
I can steal a frisbee from work.

Kitten
12-01-2009, 07:07 AM

Joanne
12-01-2009, 09:35 PM

We've got a football to bring and a frisbee and some tennis balls :)

So far the people I have definitely coming are:
Richard (dickytim)
Richard (onboost)
Ryan
Brad
David
Jasmine (after work)
Kenny and I

And maybe:
William (depending on weather)
Zal
Carsten
Ben (depending on a lift)

Kenneth
12-01-2009, 09:58 PM
There is no worries with Ben getting a lift, just have to know where to pick him up from (unless he wants to meet at our place)

Kenneth
12-01-2009, 10:02 PM
Oh, and anyone with special dietary requirements?

Jo and I currently have some interesting diet restrictions so it shouldn't be any hassle to cater for others.

bradc
12-01-2009, 10:10 PM
I eat meat

Kenneth
12-01-2009, 10:18 PM

I don't think that statement was very well thought out :P

Joanne
13-01-2009, 09:47 PM
Excellent stuff. Would people like a meeting point on the Shore so that we can cruise up together? (I have to be there at 11 to make sure we get the site or something like that, but that doesn't mean that Kenny can't do a cruise).

14-01-2009, 06:52 AM
Damn, I'll be in Canadialand :(

Joanne
23-01-2009, 04:51 AM
Problems with our hosting company mean that some recent posts have disappeared :(

Excellent stuff chaps :) I shall think about ordering some meat for you lot then!

Zitchu
23-01-2009, 05:01 AM

Nope not Marcus. I also don't want any unsceduled stops hahaha.

Ryan
23-01-2009, 07:45 AM
Right, so where are we all meeting?

I would suggest the BP motor centre located north of Oteha Valley offramp, it can't be missed and is en route to Wenderholm!

Time to be suggested as I don't know how far other southern based members have to travel.

Joanne
23-01-2009, 07:55 AM
Sounds like a plan - say be there at 12?

bradc
23-01-2009, 08:03 AM
I suggest the countdown (used to be foodtown) carpark in greenlane for all south of the bridge, then 30min later meet up at the BP services just before the Dairy Flat / Silverdale turn off.

Joanne
23-01-2009, 06:41 PM
Plan for the day then:
11:30 meet at Countdown carpark Greenlane
12 meet at BP on SH1 between Oteha Valley Road and Silverdale

From there head up to Wenderholm, where we have site one booked for the day :)

OnBoost!
26-01-2009, 05:05 AM
I'll probably get lost,i always do when going out that way..:laugh:

Joanne
26-01-2009, 06:03 AM
The BP on SH1 just south of Silverdale is pretty easy to spot - and it's sign posted!

OnBoost!
27-01-2009, 05:45 AM
Yeah,i just need to buy a map..:p

Ryan
27-01-2009, 06:01 AM
No you don't. It's easy. Get on southern motorway and just keep going north! :)

Joanne
29-01-2009, 12:35 AM

dickytim
29-01-2009, 04:56 AM

Ryan

Is this event still on folks?

According to MetService there is no rain forecast for today. Mind you I don't trust them anyway. Perhaps it will clear up.

dickytim
31-01-2009, 07:51 PM

OnBoost!
31-01-2009, 08:05 PM

Too late not to turn up now!
