Tauranga via Hamilton meet!

[bradc]

That sucks Pescha, but it does give us the chance for some nice back road cruising.

See you all at 9am in the truck stop.

Was anyone going to meet at greenlane first, or shall I just trundle on down to the Bombays directly?

Yep Ken and myself will be meeting at the Greenlane Wash World. I guess if anyone is gonna be running late, then they can send us a text 021 103 2576 and we'll wait for them.

Yep, and if I catch you driving too slow, ill hit you with my handbag

I guess this lets the cat out of the bag... I WILL be turning up after all, but will be hitching a ride with Mel.

[dickytim]

I am unable to attend this meet, have fun guys.

[maori_by_nature]

[bradc]

ok guys, who's up for a BBQ at my place on the way back? It was my 21st last weekend and there is lots of food left over, so we might as well try and eat it

I'm just on Helenslee Rd in Pokeno, about 2 minutes off the motorway. If you're interested let me know so I know the numbers, and if you want I'll PM you my street number too.

[bradc]

It's definately going ahead even if only one person turns up. I've got to get all this food out of the freezer

[maori_by_nature]

ohhhhh mannnnn now i really wanna come that theres a bbq after.....

[bradc]

dude, just tell your lady that she can come along, and she might be ok with it. Or just leave anyway lol

[maori_by_nature]

bro she plays hockey on sundays she said she would come on the next one... dunno if its a good idear though cause i wanna play keep up with kenneth again that was fun lol

[Pescha]

Some females may think that they will be left out that 'club runs' are for guys and that all that is discussed during car runs is 'car talk'.

When I first participated in a club run (with another car club) many moons ago, this is how it was, the guys wouldn't talk to the females, apparently we knew nothing and that the guys were always competing against each other, thinking they had the best car blah blah, and wouldn't listen to other peoples suggestions etc.... Well I changed all that when I became the secretary and treasurer for 6 to 7 years, which I organised everything from motorsport, membership fees/packs/renewals, club runs, agms and audits to name a few things.

I believe a car club atmosphere should be friendly, family orientated by that I mean, not just about Mum and Dads + the kids but, we are all here for one thing our love for the VR4, we should respect each other including members partners and friends, as if it wasn't for them we wouldn't be the people that we are today.

Please feel free to encourage your partners and friends along to our runs as my philosophy is the more the merrier. Some of you might disagree with this but I believe that our car club is not here to make problems with our so called 'better halves' but to include them and make them feel a part of our ever growing family and community.

OK I'm off the band wagon/soap box now lol....

Pescha

[bradc]

Yeah you're right Pescha, anyone should be allowed to come, this includes maori's lady

[maori_by_nature]

hay i aggree with pesha as well.... i wanted hur 2 come on the first one but she had wk cause she wks on saterday mornings plus we had a scrap the night b4 lol so that probly neva helped...

Pesha: your quite good when u get or lecture-y lol nice wk though i'll print that off and show her hopefuly she have a better understanding of things from it...

[Pescha]

It's the teacher in me that comes out lol.... I really don't want our club turning out like the last club I was affiliated with. Hence why it's good to be considerate to others all the way, and always maintaining a high standard of conduct at all times while participating in club runs, activities and events under the CLUBVR4 flag be it in the UK or NZ.

Plus involving everyone in decisions, it's not about the 'committee' its about the members of our club. We are all members, hence allowing all members to make the decisions for the club....

$hit there I go again

lol.....

Pescha!

[bradc]

Yep, there you go again lol.

BTW, are you keen to come to a BBQ afterwards? I think you know roughly where it is already.

[Pescha]

More than likely not! It's gonna be a long trek for me comin up to bombays in the morning.

Have you thought about bringing it with us? I'm sure we can find a BBQ somewhere lol....

I'm thinking of taking you guys and girls the Pukekawa way, instead of the way that Transit will be diverting the traffic. Just for a bit of fun lol

Pescha!

[Pescha]

10.00am Huntly (opposite the information building, lets try to stop traffic again!) lol, leave time 10.15am.

(depending on decided route to Hamilton) SH1 or back way thru mountain lol, it's a little more windy (depends if Huntly bridge is open though).

This bridge is going to be closed on Sunday so we will just follow SH1, I think our diversion from the bombays will be exciting enough!

Pescha!

[Kenneth]

bro she plays hockey on sundays she said she would come on the next one... dunno if its a good idear though cause i wanna play keep up with kenneth again that was fun lol

lol

I wont be driving this time... Pescha grounded me for driving too fast and splitting up the group

[KiwiTT]

Pescha grounded me

I should have been grounded too !

Anyhow, as you may know I wont' be attending this run either. It is my niece's last weekend in NZ before returning to Canada. I will leave Pescha in charge of this run.

I fully endorse Pescha points about this club being for all members. As commitee members we are here to help the club grow and grow it has (35 members to date). All members can contribute to the operation of the club with ideas etc.
