Here are the details,
Meet up at the Target furniture car park Blenheim Rd at 10am
Depart 10:30am, heading south to Ashburton. Parking up in the carpark in the main drag, opposite the McDonalds/shell garage at 11:30am. Once everyone has caught up/meet up with anyone from south of christchurch, we'll be heading to Methevn via the Ashburton Methven highway where we'll be calling into the brown pub for a refreshment stop. From here we'll be heading to the Rakaia gorge, for a BBQ and a swim. Sausages $2 each, all proceeds to the club. (BBQ will be available to cook any food you wish to bring yourself after the sausage sizzle)
Following that we'll be heading back to Christchurch via the Hororata Pub for another refreshemnts break, and maybe a pie. pending the horarata tavern being opne due to quake damage

Vets has very kindly offered to host the after function at her house. (many thanks Vetty!)


Details to be finalised,
Someone to carry the BBQ. Got a ute anyone?

Add us in too, looking forward to this one, I LOVE swimming!

I'm not sure how far Rakaia gorge is from say, southbridge (or rather a few minutes drive south of southbridge at 110k/h), but I work down that way so if there's not too many people I MIGHT be able to organize a side trip for anyone who wants to have a look at a salmon hatchery. Probably not everyone's cup o tea, but the brood fish should be an impressive size by then (they're up to 14 kilos atm, might be 15-16 kilos by Feb). All I'd have to do is ask the boss man, but on a weekend it should be fine (IF anyone is interested that is).

K.
