February 18, 200818 yr comment_214876 We hope to get lots of support. Too often the North Islanders say "It's too expensive I can't afford it" and don't about how hard it is for us South Islanders to go north and we have to go north a lot more often than the rest of you go south. The Tasman Club is new to the FNZAS, and has never seen one of our conferences, but agreed at the last minute to host this year after the original club due to host pulled out. They have done a brilliant job so far and you won't be disappointed. I thought Warren was going to get a copy of the registration form onto the site before he left the country but looks like he ran out of time. Should be up in a couple of weeks, or I can email a pdf version if anyone wants it. Report
February 18, 200818 yr comment_214886 I just got an email from the Interislander this morning. They are extending their family special until 30th June. Original special was $190 for 2 adults and 1 car with the ability to add up to 5 kids for $20 each. They have extended this as well to include up to 5 additional adults at only $52 each (max 7 passengers per car). How about organising club members to travel in a group by car? It is an hour and a half from Picton ferry terminal to Nelson. Think of how many fish can be transported by car either way Report
February 18, 200818 yr comment_214889 Im deafenily going to be there and will be encourging a couple of other waikato members to come along Report
February 18, 200818 yr comment_214894 I get the impression so far that there will be a strong "Totally Tanked" influence at Conference this year Report

February 18, 200818 yr comment_214955 No they are not. seen them coming up to auckland on a frequent basis as well as to Wellywood and christchurch. Just keep looking. They don't have ones to Nelson though. could fly to welly and see who wants to take you over on the ferry? :roll: Report

February 18, 200818 yr comment_215069 I have just transfered the deposit for conference and will be driving up in the car. Any one wanting a ride is welcome but preference will of course be given to good looking ladies and young pepsi drinking males need not apply. A small donation for petrol would be looked on favourably. Report
February 18, 200818 yr comment_215081 The dates are a little off but Grabaseat has WGTN -Blenheim tickets for $29 each way. Dates of travel are 4-17 June which means it's a couple of days later but hey, a couple days extra on the South Island is always welcome. It should be noted that the interislander special is $190 each way and I'm willing to do it with my wagon if others want to carpool and share the fare. Report
