Contacted Prawn park today they now do package a package of unlimted prawn fishing, Behind the sences tour and apparently a riverside walk at 24$ per person or $22 for a group of over 20.We don't need to make a booking but maybe for those heading home on sunday it is worth a thought. Also thinking National trout hatchery after chasing mollies on sunday. Still really keen on everyone meeting somewhere probaly a lunch after the molly hunt. Anyway only days to go and i am really looking forward to seeing everyone agian for what is to be garuanteed to be an enjoyable weekend

Jim I do know the stream as i have jumped in there a few times after mud wrestling with the local mollies that is . In previous years we have just parked along the side of the road from the 70kph just on the Little wahi side of the bridge .

Any suggestions on where we should meet before hand have a kinda idea who is coming down and staying at club habiat and who is meeting on the day. Like to organise a BBQ or something for everyone to meet on saturday night.Might have to talk to my follow executive members about maybe having something after the meeting on Saturday

Since the molly hunt is on the long weekend, our first meeting of the year will be Sunday 11/02/07
