Has anyone had any response back from the Organisers of this event yet? I booked back in January and have not heard a thing.

Is it still on?

Where exactly is the Waiotemarama complex? My guess is maybe somewhere near Waimamaku township OR maybe up Waiotemarama Falls road somewhere but I'm not certain.

Considering it is on this weekend it seems fairly slack not sending out some info by now.
