bdspider Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 So you aren't coming now P44?? But we are having T shirts! (I have dibs on the toy turtle though, even if I have to buy 50 raffle tickets to get it :oops: ) Regardless of sticks and whips this meeting is going to be completely different from anything that happened in the past - it will be very worthwhile to attend. Take my word on that. There are TWO turtle toys ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think it would be pertinent to save up for some winter woolies - looks like they are going to be putting on some snow for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yes, well it is freeeezing here at the moment, I had on three skivvys and a fleece today! I already roasted the pumpkin and made the crust and they are sitting in the freezer ready to go....I just need to figure out a time to bake it. Might have to be Friday or Saturday night after the dinner (my new turtle toy can help). :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Wah, I hate cold. Hope it's a nice day for the bustrip at least! Wok, maybe you can sell off your free delegate bag goodies to raise more money for raffles. There's gonna be like... 7 normal raffles & 1 progressive one. And trust me, the prizes are awesome.

Zev Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Noooo.... that means I will have to try and repossess my thermals off the kids - that means gas mask and pitchfork to try and find them on the floor of their rooms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I find tongs work well How about someone give us non Mainlanders a list of suggested clothes so that we do not freeze our buns off on the bus trip? It may also give Wok some excuse to tell his kids they have to bring stuff cos the list says so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thermal undies, good thick jacket, gloves, scarf and hat. There will be a biting wind straight off the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi all I was wondering whether there was anyone who is going down to conference who would be able to bring back some fish for me from CHCH. I dont mind paying a bit for the inconveniance. I am in Wanganui, but if were coming through bulls etc I may be able to meet depending on when. Please PM if you may be able to help. Thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Supasi Unfortunately, I think the plane I am going on, skirts around the west coast of the north Island by new plymouth, so doing a parachute drop won't be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdspider Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ok, cross your fingers for a fine day so we can see the baby rhino. He's only outside if it's nice. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... 23&ed=true Btw, you can bid for his naming rights. I see the jerk who owns calendar girls is bidding, I was telling Humvee a few hours ago I bet he would. Ugh. Hope the baby doesn't end up with a corporate brand name.

Adrienne Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Have a fantastic conference everyone - eat, drink, be merry and enjoying chatting to each other in person + of course the real reason you are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Next conference is hosted by Bay Fish and Reptile. Really? I was under the impression that 2011 was Waikato!, now I'm confuzzeled. I seem to remember this was arranged last AGM? after Dave put us forward in 2009. Can someone please confirm this? So we can stop planning, before we get too far into it. Fortunately we are still just kicking around ideas at this time and havent made any bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 On page 4 of the yearbook - yes, it's the pink one, it says: Future Conference Hosts 2010 - Christchurch Totally Tanked 2011 - Western Bay of Plenty Aquarium and Pond Society 2012 - Waikato Aquarium Society (to be confirmed) Minutes from the AGM say the same...

Caryl Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Still waiting for Grant to get home. He was called out to a fault in Nelson (so much for "I'm on holiday for the next 4 days") and is just coming through Kaituna so is about 20 minutes away. I have the fish and plants bagged and ready to go and am about to load the car. :bounce: Then all we have to do is have lunch, pick up Joe, get fuel, and pick up some stuff from my mum to take to an aunt in ChCh and we will be off! :bounce: :bounce: What have I forgotten?? :-?
