    NZHS: Annual forum MEGA-MEET!

    Whilst contemplating the bottom of my 500ml Becks can last night, I couldn't help but wonder what sort of interest there might be in an annual forum meet?

    "Why Ryan?", you might ask. Well, why not, say I!

    I'm thinking of a location that would be reasonably equidistant to the majority of people so geographically speaking, Wellington comes to mind and is easy to get to. A lot of members on here seem to know each other through their own historical friendships / regional circles and was thinking that it'd be cool if those who are keen to meet others at least once, get together and swap a few yarns etc?

    Just a suggestion? If this exists already, just delete my thread haha.

    Your thoughts? 0800 80 10 80 NewsTalk NZHS.

    I think this is a great idea. However, it will require a lot of planning and kicking people up the bum..

    I recently attended a 25th Jubilee cadets thing. We had some cool stuff in store (Past vs Present serving members, shooting, confidence course, 5 course formal dinner, pre drinks registration night, brunch catch up etc). We paid up about four months in advanced I think, there were 40 people who paid from each side. Even after a deposit and all the lead up, only a dozen or so of us went?!

    I'd suggest some cool stuff to entice people (not just the fun factor of meeting everyone) just like Jase has suggested. Then perhaps a big meal somewhere that is pre-booked, pre-paid. Ask for some money up front. If you choke last minute, tough titties.

    Sounds ruthless but I am trying to be realistic. Many of the big great idea get togethers end up with drastically less numbers than imagined.

    Good idea to be honest Ryan.
