I'm a bit dubious about the weather mind you, forecast is for heavy rain, lets all cross our fingers and hope they're wrong
May i just say, I didnt bring this weather with me

But atleast we made it

See you all next week!!

No worries, it rained for almost 4 weeks solid from the day I arrived in August, did start to take it a bit personally after a few weeks!

See you sunday rain or shine

Lisa, if the weather is wet tomorrow is there a Plan B?

The Novotel is just sort of opposite and it has a large bar/lounge area if people are still interested in meeting....just a suggestion.

Does anyone know of another venue?

Cheers
Gill

Was just saying today that we may need a Plan B as it doesnt look like this awful rain is going to shift any time soon

I couldn't think of anywhere that was covered but still kid friendly so probably somewhere like the Novotel is about the best bet.

So, if its dry we'll stick to the lake front but if it stays wet we'll head for the Novotel.
I'll try to contact everyone I have details for and let them know.

Sorry we didn't make it on Sunday, not just the rain to contend with, but a leak in our kitchen ceiling that dripped into the microwave !!!
Just wish the weather had been like it was the week before...

Thanks Lisa for making the arrangements. Do you think we should propose another meet up?

Cheers
Gill

Hey everyone,
Struggling with internet access as we have now been waiting a week to be connected!!! (problem with the line apparently) so we can only get on if we visit a cafe or the i centre. Anyway just read that some of you met up at the pub due to the rain, sorry we didn't read that bit in time to come and join you, just presumed with the rain that everything was cancelled. We must definatley arrange another day now it seems to be clearing up a bit. May be we could start a new thread called meet up in feb or rearranged meet up?

There is internet access at the library which is what we used when we were in your position!
It is $1 for 10 mins but they also have free wifi.
You just have to ask at the main desk for the password.

Yes we still try to meet up on the 1st Sunday of the month. (shifts permitting of course!!)
Sunday 6th Feb is fine with us.
Anyone else up for it is welcome to join us.

6th sounds good to us too, however it is also Waitangi Day.
Cheers Gill
