well i think my hobby finally did become an obcession and therefore i think it high time that i join a club!

problem: I live in wellington city and i don't know where to turn or who to call.

Suggestions coercions and bribes all accepted and welcomed

Ooooh, I will jump in first here!

Where in Wellington to you live? I belong to the Kapi-Mana club which is a very cool wee friendly club! We have a meeting once a month in Plimmerton, and also try to get together at least once a month for some sort of social event. i.e. dinner, go-karting etc...

We have just 13 members at the moment, but are always keen to welcome new people along. We are kicking 2004 off with a BBQ which is either on the 24th or 25th (can't remember) and will be at QEII park in Paraparaumu. Let me know if you are interested in coming along to meet the troops, family and friends all welcome of course

There are also 2 other clubs in Wellington, the Upper Hutt club and the Wellington club, but I'm sure someone else will be able to tell you about them.

Hope to see you soon!

Jane

I keep meaning to find out when and where the wellington club meets. The Upper Hutt club is getting a bit...Small.

nice jumping! nothing quite like a quick reply

i'm living in abel smith street (far southern end of the terrace) at this precise oment in time however as of sometime at the end of this month i will be moving even further south into kingston.

ira: looks like this is the place to find out!

btw: how much for the kidney?

i didn't see a wellington club listed at the front of the site...

i guess one of the reasons i want to find a club is because my flatmates are getting sick of me talking about fish all the time

The Wgtn club is not affiliated to the FNZAS so is not listed here. They used to meet at the zoo but now meet in a church hall somewhere in the vicinity I believe.

I can PM you with one of their member's details if you want to contact them. This member belongs to my own club as well so he gets to belong to Wgtn and affiliate to the FNZAS as well

that would be great however in the long run it may be beneficial to be a member to one of the FNZAS Clubs - i think i'm going to be doing this for a long long time.

The Wellington club meets in a hall just down the road from where I live in Ngaio, which is kind of Northern Wellington.

We have a couple of members who also belong to the Wellington club.

PS: Join Kapi-Mana!

when we were flat hunting the other day we looked at a couple of places in ngaio. i thought to myself at the time 'what the heck would i want to live out here for' - and now i know

ok, so having thought about it and gotten settled into the new place i'm going to start sussing this out...

where does these clubs meet up, and can i come and play?

i could bake cookies or something

Hi Dark, good stuff !

Kapi-Mana club is having a BBQ on Saturday 21st February at Queen Elizabeth Park in Paekakariki. You and your family and any other hangers-on are most welcome to join us.

Our next club meeting is on Wednesday 25th February, we meet at our presidents house in Plimmerton.

Let me know if you want more details

Jane

more details are always good - like times and such, and of course; what flavor cookies!

My husband and I will be at the BBQ too so look forward to meeting you dark!

I would be keen to know the flavour of the cookies too :lol:

Coming up as far as P. North Caryl? I could give you those

Oxalis bulbs instead of mailing them...

Andrew.

ooh, I will be coming through Palmy on Sunday on my way back from the exec meeting in Turangi, THEN I will be seeing Caryl the following weekend. I could play messenger?

This coming Sunday, the PNAS is poking around in the rockpools

at Pukerua Bay. I'll be away from home between around 9:00am

and, at a guess, 6:00pm or so (hoping to visit a Ceropegia grower

in Waikanae on the way home) ...

I'll be home saturday though, if you're passing through?

Or you can try ringing me on my cellphone as you get close in

case we're home early or not too far away, 025 6868773

Andrew.

Please Janey. I don't think our visit to Janey and Mark includes a trip up as far as you Andrew

chocolate chip

shall I come bearing $25?

Does Kapi-Mana want an official FNZAS visit on the 21st at the BBQ or maybe on the Club meeting night instead?

Hey cool, this is really exciting! Everyone wants to come! I am going to start a new thread with an official invite to everyone here.

Warren, it would be an honour to have your presence at our BBQ or club meeting, whichever you prefer.

Gosh I really hope the weather is good that weekend! If it is a crap day, we will have it at one of our club members houses.

No worries, I'll net some HB sunshine and tow it on down...

I'll come to the BBQ if you like. It's just a bit easier to visit on weekends.

Consider it booked.

Between Hawkes Bay and the Blenheim sunshine coming up with us, Wellington should get a heatwave!

god knows we could do with one of those!

Andrew: We won't be going via Palmerston on our way up, but I will give you a ring on Sunday to see where you are and maybe we will cross paths somewhere ! Of course if you decide to come to our BBQ, that solves that problem anyway.

Joze, what was the $25 for? To join our club maybe? Although that is only $20...
