Best bet would be to fly to CHCH and rent a van/ hit up the CHCH members. Dunedin is probably closer, but imagine a lot more expensive.

@Rushy
Whichever gives you the best car rental deal.... or a member also attending can commit to meeting you at said airport and having sufficient boot or roof space (oh ooops I meant a spare passenger seat) to get you there safely if not sanely.
Timaru also has a couple of flights into from wellington each day, maybe if there are some from there or close to wellington 4 could arrange a rental ex Timaru
Just another option no idea of flight price though.
A quick check on the Air New Zealand website says there is only twenty bucks between the cost of flights.Quote:

Yeah the shooting spot ticks the boxes & the motor camp ticks all the other boxes :cool:
I've got a bed booked with my name on it.
I will go down a few days early to help set up so it will be my mission to find your preferred bed and short sheet it. Not that you'd notice.Quote:

I could probably supply chain & D shackles for gongs on to what ever you stake them with.

The big gongs will more than likely be an issue. I have to talk to someone down here that might have something, wait and see
I'm starting to talk with sponsors of the event @Munsey is helping me with that. I hope to get a few lambs/ hoggets some pork and venison donated to feed you guys
I'll keep everyone informed as to where we are at with this end. and look forward to seeing you guys next year.
Thanks for all your work with this Harry :)Quote:

The other thing to think about is getting a local organisation like school, playcentre, rugby club etc to do the catering. That way everyone gets to enjoy the shooting. Just charge everyone a fee for accomodation and food. Money up front so the organisers don't end up with a big bill.
Yeah that's what we were thinking to Stu and was our recommendation to Harry ( so he doesn't end up doing all the work & not enjoying the weekend ) but he seems quite happy to sort it so will leave it in his capable hands :cool:Quote:

A mate has offered new season spuds from Kakanui and he also wants to come and help with the catering. I might even manage to make some of my famous curried eggs for the braveQuote:

Harry am I to late to order a double helping of curried eggs? In fact a whole other bowl of the buggers for Rushy would be the go.
