[Bling]

right, my money where my mouth is
i will personally give the person who drives the furtherest $50 of gas vouchers.

anyone heading from further away than christchurch? i'd look up the distance from auckland to palmy but i'm just way too lazy for that

[Dell'Orto]

Auckland is about 6 hours drive, Christchurch is probably further. Roughly 4 hours to Picton, then nearly 2 hours from Wgtn to Palmy.

[Si]

Auk to Palmy is 537km

Welly to Palmy is 145KM
Chch to picton is 338KM

[Bling]

in that case lets include the cook strait

[Mr Revhead]

chch is further.
ie more effort and $$$ is required.
so chch>aucks in this case

[Dell'Orto]

Who'd be interested in a dyno day in the weekend as well? Have a local company who'd be happy to run one for us.
Still working on accomodation!

[Mr.Phreak]

Not too worried, get hassled enough about driving a whale, don't really need proof of how gutless it is

That said, if it's on, I'd probably throw it up there for a laugh (Unless it was crazy expensive)

[TRD Man]

Is there an over 50's section? And do I qualify for triple mileage on Revheads petrol voucher offer?

[MR2SIK]

Keen for all the activities and surely palmy has more than one campground?


oh and to all the northerners that made fun of us Nelsonians about our lack of BK at MM05....

8 weeks and counting

[Dell'Orto]

Is there an over 50's section? And do I qualify for triple mileage on Revheads petrol voucher offer?

Sorry, the petrol voucher deal does not apply to pensioners/senior citizens
No believe it or not, there is only one campground here. Am going to explore Feilding and other locales tomorrow...there is always the Ashhurst domain, but thats just a paddock.

[Snoozin]

.....paddock.

Um, and we have a problem because

[Mr Revhead]

because ppl will get upset when ppl try and pitch a tent on our skidpan!!

[Silent Knight]

When is this scheduled for?
Just trying to figure out whether I should get a move on with the car or not.

[Snoozin]

Labour weekend, as per normal. 20/21/22 October this year.

[Dell'Orto]

Ok, accomodation is reasonably sorted.
Feilding Holiday Park has plenty of space.
I've spoken to one of the owners, they have backpacker type units available for $30 per person single, or $25 per person if more than one person stays in the unit. They sleep about 4 people per unit, and you use the campground amenities (kitchen, toilet etc)
There are also powered caravans on site, which can have about 2 or 3 people for $25 per person.
If you're the sort who likes motel style accomodation, they have a studio unit which is totally stand alone and has a queen sized waterbed for $80 per night.



Oh, and did I hear a mention of a certain local race track being available too.......?

[slighty_sykotic]

KIMBOLTON ROAD!?!?!!! great local drag strip


If by chance you mean manfeild though, thats great news , got any more info?

[Dell'Orto]

Yes, I mean Manfeild We're just sorting out details as I type, but its looking quite likely we can have it on the Monday.

[Voyeur]

I'm quite happy to offer a patch of grass to pitch a tent to any TS's and the garage is there as well if anybody needs it on the weekend. oh and count me in

[slighty_sykotic]

In saying that ^^^ if two garages are needed, my dad lives almost backing onto the feilding camp ground.

[~SlideWays~]
