I'm keen! Somewhere not too far up north to save on travel for those from the south.
I think labour weekend. ...or any other long weekend would be best and would make it easier for more people to make it to the event without taking too much time off work.

I agree Dan need to make it as accessible to as many people as poss so this brings the question any suggestions on locations we have already had Palmy with the manfield track are there any places at the top of the south or bottom of the north that may have club tracks and accommodation? Is a track day what is wanted I am guessing that most people will only be available for 1 day since we will all be travelling so do we do half a day at the track and a short cruise just a cruise or just a track day? Any other suggestions? Also any suggestions on fund raising to help fund the ditch crossings etc? I know we will not be able to please everyone but if we get a bunch of ideas together then we can start making some decisions and just keep the ball rolling.
Cheers

would it be best to talk to Tracy and Baz and see what weekend would suit them the best and plan around that?

I am all good for Labour weekend though, if it's Waitangi 2016 I may not have cars ready.

Hi yes I have talked to Trace and she has said they would be coming out around Labour weekend so is prob best to work around that. It definitely won't be feb 2016 Hayden :-). If we can nut out what we want to do and where we want to do it then we can make some solid plans so some talk on what things people would like from the event would be cool

I'm keen, palmy fielding is not a bad idea, 2 years 2 plan should be enough to make it a 2 day event with a track day and a cruise, coramandle would be an awesome location, but a long way off for us south island people, tauranga also would be an ideal location, the pys paa to rotarua road would be a good day trip as well. If fielding, then a trip to horipito would be possible??

Yeah I agree that it should be a two day event. Make it bigger and better than ever as it is a special event that we won't be seeing in NZ too often.

Would be interested on when you lock in a date, as I will need to work to that for my rebuild.

Palmerston North is probably a good central ish place to meet, 475km's driving from Christchurch and 520 km's from Auckland
