jude Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I just posted in the Off Topic forum about Caryl and Grant coming across by ferry this morning. I hope it isn't too rough. Cheers Jude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchton Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 To report so far. Caryl & Grant did make it across the strait an hour late and pretty roughed up. Caryl was out of it on travel pills so had a reasonable trip. Warren was late due to car problems in Wanganui. Other than that all arrived safely and on time and have had their first share of Taranaki Ale and wonderful food. We made certain the temperature was lowered to 7c so they would feel at home. Even the heating at the venue went on the blink to assist with the lower temps. This of course is a planned method to assure fine conditions for the rest of the time. The bar closed at 10.30pm and all toddled off to their various dwellings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Conference 2005 was great. I had to leave yesterday morning as I'm flying out for Frankfurt, Nuremburg and Paris today (in about an hour). I hope everyone travels home safely today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Alan sneaked out just after seven this morning and left town at 7 30am. Good trip home Didn't get lost. Arrived home at 12.45pm Had three stops on the way so take off 40 minutes. One was close to 20 minutes while a herd of cows dispersed. Good company. Well, most of it was. Great catching up with old buddies and making new friends. Congrates Mitch, Debbie and others who after all ya had to go through, it turned out okay. Start getting ready KapiMana for next year.

Janey Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I got delivered home about 1 hour ago. Thanks for the ride Chris! And thanks for letting us go to Ezibuy and Bendon on the way home It was a great weekend, thanks to Taranaki for hosting it. It was good to catch up with everyone again, and to meet a few new people! I expect to see you all in Kapi-mana next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGilchrist Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Arrived home about 7.30 Thanks to everyone for making me welcome, both the Taranaki Club locals and the AGM regulars. Great weekend and a smooth flight home special thanks to Carol for getting me from and back to the airport. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 We have finally arrived home too after a great week's holiday and a thoroughly enjoyable conference (even if it was cold!). Will post pics as soon as they have been uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 First lot of pics uploaded. Here are the ones taken at the AGM and evening entertainment. In case you are wondering, the apple dance sequence was an attempt to teach them how to disco :lol: . Very funny to watch and I gather, from the laughter, the participants found it funny too - even the 2 who went on to have angina attacks afterwards! Apple dancers from left to right are Robin, Lyn, Alan, Janey, Kevin and Denise http://photobucket.com/albums/v144/cary ... 5&addtype= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I think his real name is King Neptune not Alan. Its not a hat it is a crown. I had a crown i mean a hat just like that one but as there can be only one king, Alan is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
