Plimmerton Domain BBQ (Wellington) Mana, North Island, New Zealand
By kiwicaching on 17-Feb-07. Waypoint GC10J71

Archived Thanks all that attended.

Thanks Kiwicaching for a great day!
Was nice to meet up with cachers from the last event as well as meeting others for the first time.
Really enjoyed the BBQ and prize I won on the day...nice one Swirl Creations.
Looking forward to the next event!

+ Unite for Diabetes TB
+ GraPeS TB

Great to catch up with the crew, and to meet some new faces. Its the nature of the sport, we all 'know' eaqch other by virtue of online logs etc, but rarely meet up. I guess chance meetings during a find are the only expection. We should do more of these events!

Thanks very much for the hard work involved in this event. We really enjoyed meeting fellow cachers in New Zealand.

Thanks guys, it was fun attending and meeting up with you all. Really enjoyed the little hunt and Sarah was delighted with her prize.

Thanks heaps.

Awesome event! Met lots of geocachers, got a bit of caching done, discovered (and took) a few TB's and Geocoins, and had a nice bite to eat. Thanks to Pinetree & Sunrise and GenCuster for organizing yet another fantastic event!

Cheers,
Blarghster.

Had a great time everyone - awesome meeting you

I had a great time, enjoyed the caching and loved my prize.

Hope to organise another one sometime in the next 3 or 4 months.

What a great turnout of local cachers, those who travelled in from Palmie, some from further north and south and of course the international visitors - thanks for supporting all the things this event was about. Special thanks to the Outward Bounds for providing the extra bbq and yummy food and Gencuster and Retti for helping us unpack and pack up.

This was the first event organised under the Kiwicaching banner and I'd like to thank Pinetree & Sunrise for all their efforts in making it happen! I just turned up and ate the venison sausages...

Many thanks to Swirl Creations for sponsoring the prizes and putting on the BBQ. Thanks to the Porirua City Council for inviting us, and of course, Swirl Creations in accepting the invitation.

The long list of people to thank for making an event happen of course include those who turn up. It is always fun to meet new folk, build upon existing relationships and forge new ones. So take a bow everyone. [^]

With attendees from North of the Bombay's, UK, Canada, West Island, Palmerston North, South of the Ditch as well as the local cachers, this was a truly international event.

thanks Pinetree & Sunrise for organising the event it was great to see the wellytown crew again and also the new faces ,looking forward to the next one.

Many thanks to Swirl Creations and GenCuster for making this happen plus thanks to Retti, Outward Bound and others for helping out.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great meeting everyone. Turns out I knew Zebedy all along but never knew they were geo-cachers.

- Chill Out Dude - Signal Geocoin
- Pinocchio TB
- Enterprise TB
- Hot Wheels TB
- Bob Parr TB

Thanks for the BBQ, it was good fun meeting all of you. Sorry that I couldn't talk more, but Crystal and I were having too much fun with the cache you set up.

Awesome time - Nice to put some faces (and some real names) to some of your logins. (Whoops, lots of "some"s in that one!)
Pepsi is weak, but was very annoyed that she couldn't be there. Don't worry, Paco told her all about it.

Was my 1st event cache had fun grabed some goodies and will pass them on soon as, thanks guys, morriskiwi.

- old jeep TB
- Chip TB
- Rocky dog TB
- Freaboys Geocoin

Great to put some faces to the Wellington cachers.
Thanks pintree and sunrise and gencuster for the effort put in organising it, and thanks for the great prizes, they will be worn with pride.

It was great to put a few faces to names - and a pity that we had to leave so early - before we'd even said hello to 1/2 the attendees. It was also quite strange to go to an event where we knew absolutely no-one - that hasn't happened since our first event cache 4 years ago. Thanks very much to the organisers.

Last Note: Any hassles on the day, ring/txt me on 021-440 757.

Dropped off last two coins:

A Well Balanced Personality
Stop what you're doing!

Cheers,
Kevin.

Will be late - Pepsi, one of my geocache dogs, is at the vet here in Palmy with a mysterious disease. Have to check in with her between 9 and 11 - then will come to event.
Will have (travelling)Turtle's Spinning Top Geocoin with me. Don't wait for me with the barbie . Ring you if things go wrong, General.

Great to meet everyone today at our first Cache Event. Good to put faces to names. Many thanks to Pinetree & Sunrise and Gen Custer for the organisation of this event.

Sadly won't be able to make it - tennis interclub in full swing at present! (Hope the wind dies down for all of us.)

This is a very late night (01:15) but I am dropping off some more coins and TB's that I have and also some from Xmuggle that she collected for the event - Thanks Mate!

This is turning into a huge number of Trackables at a small event, methinks. And for those put off by collectors dumping heaps of coins, most of the TB's & Coins are travellers.

TB's:
Zippo
Idaho Brass
White Jeep 'Morse'
Jaffa the tiger (wants to go to the zoo)

Coins:
European Union Geocoin
Full of Beans (plaque from 1st ever cache)
Sumatran Elephant
Kemis Beyerncoin #3
Kiwicacher Geo Agent (I'm now a fully deputised Kiwicacher!)

See you all there...

nb: Emailed pariah re ride.

Have fun ! Wish I could be there.
But looking forward to seeing all the logs next week.
May the weather and the caching spirits be kind to you.

We will be in town, but have a busy day planned. Will try and make a short visit for lunch, no promises yet.

We will be bringing a bbq on the day along with a few chairs, rugs and a small umbrella (long range forecast good apparently). We will provide sausages, bread, marg and tomato sauce, some utensils, plastic cutlery, plates and cups. Please bring something to drink and anything else that you would like to contribute to the bbq. We will also have a few little surprises for all attendees!
Is anyone able to pick up Pariah on the day in Wellington as he is without transport? Please contact him via his profile if you can.

Will be there, looking forward to meeting the Welly crowd.

Santa has been good to me... Received some more Geocoins from the 'States, so dropping them in here. Some are travellers, some for events. Hope everyone enjoys them. There should be plenty for all to take away and spread them around anyway.

TB: Cat or Mouse
Coins:
NAVSTAR 32 (USA 91)
F69
Xian Tian Ba Gua
Green with envy
Blue Day
chih-nan
Huang Di's Secret Weapon
The Jolly Wee Cacher

Also a 'Peace Bug' notebook from Butterfly Lady, for cachers to peruse and sign if they wish, with a message of peace.

Due to a recent family bereavement, I can no longer attend this one. It's a pitty, as I've watched the Wellington caching develop over the last 3 years or so and was looking forward to meeting some of the characters.

We are two ancient cachers from the UK here on a visit. We hope to pop in for a sausage or two with some of the Zebedy crew.

We will be there. Are geodogs allowed?

Count me in! Can't wait to meet all of you!

Cool - one of my geocoins is going to be there that I dropped off when I first arrived in the country :/

Bringing a number of canadian TB's with me to pass around
as well as a few I picked up here so far

cheers!

Dropped off two more new Coins - 'Accurate to a Point!' and 'Maxed Out Gold Card!'.

I will actually be in Johnsonville on that day attending another function. Unlikely that I am going to be able to sneak out for a short time but there is a slim chance. It would be nice to say hello to Team Wellington.

Dropping off my 'Event' TB's (don't be surprised if they have changed names - I got bored with the old ones.

And a Ladybird TB 'flying away from home'.

Dropping Geocoin.

Just dropping off Freakboy's Geocoin.

Will be there...

I'll do my best to make it out there. It would be cool to meet a few more of the geocachers in the area.

I'll be in wgtn for that weekend so will try to get along.
If you are going to be posting coords- could you also please put a contact cellphone number on the cache page.
We almost missed an event last weekend. We could not see changes since we were away from the computer
cheers

well if the rest of the wellytown crew is there, then you better count me in as well

Definitely will attend! Look foward to 'the grand opening'-

Arrggghhhh - see Blarghster beat me to it - again!

I will most definitely be there.

Hopefully I should have some new coins for people to look at and discover (if they choose) as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Will post a note with a few more details closer to the date.

Luck to me....am in town this weekend so will be there for sure, looking forward to the event and catching up with everyone

I would love to attend this one (in fact I will be in Welly the day before it) but I am currently committed to the Cancer Society "Relay for Life" back in Greymouth on the day of the event.
I'll have a talk to my team mates and see what gives (eg can I do my share of the relay in Greymouth on Sunday).

Regards,
Moneydork.
