Saturday is going to be a day of play at Rallywoods. I guess there will be plenty of people coming in on Sat morning and setting up tents and all that sort of stuff. Then we'll break up the trucks into groups of similar capability and send them off to various parts of Rallywoods to have a play.

What are the arrangements for Saturday morning, is everyone driving into the Green Hut by themselves, or is there going to be a group meeting at the corner of Haywards Hill & Moonshine Road at a certain time. I am happy with either arrangement, just looking forward to meeting up with everybody else on Saturday.

Cheers
Ian

Will post up some final details in the morning. Too late now, can't think

[Jerry]

MEETING POINTS can be organised if you need them, please PM MARK or Myself if you need assistence getting into Rallywoods, there will be some signs put up to assist. An idea of when you are expecting to arrive at Cnr Moonshine & Haywards would be good PS my no is 027 479 2417

[Mark]

Ok, here is some final information to keep you informed:

• Almost everyone has been there before, so make your own way into Rallywoods.
• If you do not know where to go then post here with a time you can meet at the corner of SH51 and Moonshine Rd and we will arrange someone to meet you there and bring you in.
• Signs will be up with "ORE" and arrows indicating the way to Rallywoods from Moonshine Rd (bottom of Haywards Hill - Porirua side)
• Please drive extremely carefully on Bulls Run Rd. We request that you stick to a speed limit of 40kmh on this road. The local motocross club put out signs stating 30kmh is the max for their members, so let's just keep it real. It is a very narrow and windy road and we don't want to hear of any incidents involving 4WD vehicles cutting corners or speeding!
• The default PRS and AM CB channel will be 10, however other channels may be used when we split into groups. If you arrive late then please call on channel 10 before entering any tracks.
• The generator will be turned off by 11pm each night. 24V lighting is available in the gazeebo for those wishing to stay up later.
• Roast vegetables will be provided each night for a gold coin donation. These will be cooked in the fireplace in a bulk lot and you can help yourself. This means that you can just bring along some meat of your choice and have an awesome feed.
• Bring cash with you for any expenses that may come up, such as extra fuel, food, beer, extra person overnight fees, etc.
• BBQ's will be provided. If you have a spare gas bottle then bring it up.

Friday
Some people will be drifting in throughout the day - the gate will be unlocked. I will personally be heading up around mid afternoon and setting up my tent, sorting some stuff out and then chilling for the night.

Saturday

• Aim to get to Rallywoods by 9-9:30 and get yourself set up. Groups will be dispatched as people are ready. Try not to be later than 10am as you will then become a straggler and a potential safety hazard if you start wandering into the tracks by yourself.
• Driving/playing until mid afternoon (or whenever) and then a few events will take place.
• A night drive will be run at 6pm. Anybody wishing to attend is required to meet the legal blood alcohol limit, which basically means that if we (the organisers) suspect that you have had too many drinks before hand you will not be allowed to drive. We will be watching

Sunday

• Akatarawa Forest trip. Meet at bottom gate (big steel double gate across Rallywoods driveway entrance) by 9:15am. People staying at Rallywoods overnight will be leaving there by 9am to get down to gate. Anybody not there by 9:15am sharp will miss out as we will be leaving.
• Prize giving will be held on Sunday evening. We have a number of prizes that have kindly been donated by Wellington Towbar Services and Naenae Tyre Court. These will be presented to unsuspecting victims based on the events of the previous days.

See you all there

Speaking of POS trucks mines nearly sorted, the front lights and indicators have been soaking in the bath most of the day, getting a bottle brush from countdown in a sec and cleaning the stuck on mud INSIDE of them and putting back together tomorrow morning + fitting the 1 last flare and its ready to go back for its nice new WOF sticker. (all the other things on the big list have been done

[Mark]

Sorry, forgot to add that bit...

Monday will be a late rise for most people (probably) and then a general play around Rallywoods. Nothing too structured. There has also been talk about a few people heading off to Aotea Block or something like that on Monday avo. So it's pretty much going to be a "take it as it comes" day. You will have full access to Rallywoods though to do what you want.

[Jerry]

SUNDAY is the AKA's trip MARK, ..... don't you mean MONDAY

[Mark]

I thought Mark canned the alien shooting due to little to no interest

and I fixed the sunday itinery a little bit for ya

[Bubba]

As he is Master and Commander he made the excutive decision that we are doing it regardless if we want to or not.

Well, not really. One of the Shareholders decided that he would do it for those that wanted to. Hope he brings shit loads of ammo

[Cloggy_NZ]

Sweet, I was looking forward to bit of shooting action. Was a little disappointed to find out it had been canned.
Now it is on again. Goodie

[Jerry]

Mark was trying to confirm numbers so there was enough stuff there, only 4-5 people responded so Mark didn't confirm, I was speaking to Paul and he has a limited amount of claybirds and ammo (250) I think so there should be enough for everyone there for 10 shots each?, Can't remember the pricing but BRING MONEY for this.

I am meeting BADNUZ at Moonshine & Haywards on SAT morning, will be there 9.00-9.30, If anyone else wants to meet there feel free, my no is 027 479 2417 .... just txt me if you are going or running late.

[Cloggy_NZ]

I was speaking to Paul and he has a limited amount of claybirds and ammo (250) I think so there should be enough for everyone there for 10 shots each?, Can't remember the pricing but BRING MONEY for this.

Initially Mark was talking around $1.00 a shot which is less than the cost of the ammo and little alien. Perhaps we should allow $2.00 a shot?
