Want to come to Taranaki for New Year?

robert06 Posted: 6 August 2009, 4:37 AM   In brief, we of Taranaki are setting up to run a series of 5-6 short events (29,30 & 31 December 2009) then a traverse (4-6 maps) on New Years day. The plan is for 3 courses at each of the short events with a fastest time expected to 15 minutes on each course. The traverse can be run as either a solo or relay with about 2 hours expected as the fastest time. As this is pretty late notice, we need to know is that there are reason numbers of people able/willing to come to this event worthwhile? Lets have your thoughts/comments/questions?   mick finn Posted: 6 August 2009, 5:06 AM   Sounds like the equivalent of the xmas 5-days in NSW/Vic which was always a blast, with morning o and arvo beach and the new years party. Great idead - I'm keen...   mick finn Posted: 6 August 2009, 5:07 AM   spell check - great idead should read grateful dead I thonk   jeffg Posted: 6 August 2009, 5:15 AM   Turkey Trot?   robert06 Posted: 6 August 2009, 5:53 AM   Turkey Trot, yes. We've lost some bits of the former TT maps to lifestyle blocks but there is enough of old, some new and a bits of pathways/streets to put it together. By the way I forgot to mention above that we'll also do a bit of social organising.   Ellmo1769 Posted: 6 August 2009, 11:49 AM   Yes   SimonB Posted: 7 August 2009, 3:17 AM   could be fun, what sort of antics could i get up to in taranaki though?   addison Posted: 7 August 2009, 3:57 AM   You could pull Karls tits. I mean his cows tits.   mick finn Posted: 7 August 2009, 5:58 AM   Don't hurt the cows!   Jamie Posted: 7 August 2009, 8:48 AM   No, not in regrettably. Sounds awesome, what about a three day weekend in late Jan/early Feb (just invent a long weekend). Otherwise I will be gutted to miss it.   Michael Posted: 7 August 2009, 9:16 AM   Sounding a bit like Dragons Den. Yep I'm in. Always enjoyed the TT, 10 years ago WOC ran a Town Belt Traverse, the idea of linking up small maps into something longer strikes me as good fun. Takes me back to my rallying days.   Greg Posted: 8 August 2009, 12:48 PM   TT on NY day, I can think of better ways to deal with my hangover   addison Posted: 9 August 2009, 10:27 AM   New Years Boozeo at Karls? Bet he'd love that :-)   ML Posted: 14 August 2009, 4:10 AM   Yes   onemanfanclub Posted: 14 August 2009, 5:22 AM   I'm a definite maybe... it's kinda on the way back to work if I'm in Welly for christmas... don't think I've ever raced in the 'naki either   SteveO Posted: 24 August 2009, 3:01 AM   Fleetwood Mac have just confirmed they will be playing their only NZ gig at the Bowl of Brook-something in New Plymouth on December 29. Will there be a supporting O programme?
