Ok, update on the BBQ. At this point I need to get numbers because I suspect we might have a few too many people to cram into my wee shed. There is a great place for BBQs just around the corner - at Spencer Park - so we might adjourn to there for the festivities. Can I get a show of hands as to who wants to go so I can organise something?
If its wet, then the whole thing is going to go to the dogs
I haven't really got a contingency plan for that... I'm just hopin for sunny days
To get to the shed - if you drive up Marshland Rd from town heading towards Kaiapoi then keep going until you go over the railway line at the top end just beside Chaneys Corner (big buildings with Blackett Engineering and a kitchen place among others) and turn right - that should be Spencerville Rd. Follow it for about 5km through the countryside and eventually it goes over a one-lane bridge then shortly after ends in a T-intersection. At the intersection turn left, then its the first driveway on the left - #373 on the mailbox. The shed is the first building up the driveway (its a farm property).
If we go to Spencer park then turn right instead of left at the intersection, then its the second left (signposted) - over three judder bars then second right (first right takes you into the camp ground, second into the park).
If people think they might get lost then arrange a meeting near the palms or somewhere like that and convoy out there.
Also, had one offer from redneck of a BBQ, and mine... which might be enough but one more would be good for safety... I'd hate for someone to have to wait for a sausage
If you could bring your own meat and beer/drink - just be aware that we're going out 4WDing afterwards and I'll play big bad policeman at give anyone who drinks too much then thinks they can drive the bash
Be sensible, or else... No point giving the anti-SUV nutcases any more ammunition...
My MU should be ready, but it won't have had any offroad trials, so I'm thinking the Waimak will be the best option for me - I don't want to go too far on it until I've proven it... and I figure if it breaks then at least the Waimak is close enough to tow it back to the shed
Anyone have any objections to the 4WDing being there?
Ok, so a show of hands: whos coming?
Steve
... actually still my shed then as well.... ???
