New Zealand Datsun Club

Hi everyone,

I'm beginning to organize an overnight cruise to my place in Whangamata.

Details so far

Max 16 people - Reason for this is that's what the house holds. If it turns out there are some who are happy throwing a tent up then there is the front lawn as well. and if your wanting to stay at the local caravan park not a problem.

Layout is
HOUSE
double bed in master bedroom(2)
double bed in room 1(2)
double bed room 2(2)
2x singles in room 3(2)
fold out couch lounge(2)
UNIT
double bed in Main bedroom (2)
2x bunk beds in room 2 (4)

The bedrooms aren't massive but there is plenty of room for everybody to relax everywhere else.

PARKING
Probably fit 12 cars off the street.

KIDS- bring the kids - first in first served on the beds
this is a hard one, kids crashing on your bedroom floor wont work sorry as the rooms just aren't big enough trust me I've tried with my daughter so I'm thinking of a adults weekend away with our cars . This is yet to be set in stone as to be honest if only a few can make it and they have kids there will probably be room for them. Please let me make it clear I'm all for the kids being there but there just might not be the room for kids and parents for sleeping.

food wise for BBQ I'm wondering if those who are comming put in $10 or $15 each then I head down and buy the meat so we don't end up with a heap of left overs like last time. money could be collected on the day. THOUGHTS?

CRUISE
Saturday 11/02/2017
0930 Aucklanders meet Bombay BP as per Taupo trip.
1000 leave for Hamilton
1100 Arrive The Base Hamilton to pickup anyone coming from there.(if no one it might just be a drive through)
1130 Leave for Mt Maunganui
1245 Arrive Mt Maunganui. Either park up at Main beach or around the corner at Pilot Bay. Everyone can wonder off walk the mount, enjoy the beach or get some lunch etc etc.
1500 Leave the Mt
1630 Arrive Whangamata, we can all get settled in to the house, head off and grab some food for a BBQ and drinks and party the night away with hopefully some good music and good company.

Sunday 12/02/2017
Do as you please really, we can decide on the day. Maybe all cruise to the beach. really it'll be a day of relaxing and just chilling out. Your all welcome to stay for as long as you wish.

DATE - 11/02/2017
date is confirmed as 11th February 2017

Thats it really

Let me know if you like the idea and keen to join me and obviously the final date will confirm things for you.

Mate wish this was in the South Island, yes I could drive up but no i don't have the finances especially with the added distance heading up the middle of the island to Picton.

Good bugger ,wicked plan mate we may be keen to drive up from Palmerston North

Either

Count me in

See update.get your speedo's ready boys

Check the update. First in first served.

As not many people have put their names foward so we will make it bring the kids too. This will obviously use up some beds however there will be tent space if your keen.

As above first in first served with the beds and I'll alocate beds once final numbers are confirmed.

So far we have 2 keen.
