Lost fisherman returned so should be 2 of us, so see you all. Thanks for arranging the event & weather.
Unfortunately, it will be quite a busy day due to work, but I definitely hope to stop by for a while. Cheers for arranging the party!

Thanks for the well organised event & wonderful weather. Really great to meet so many new faces & put faces to names, including many from out of the area. Also handed the Dolphin Geocoin to Yeetrees to take back to the North Island - sorry we couldn't find a suitable cache (ie not nano/micro) before we left the North Island. Great meeting you all today!
A well organised event, thanks woolfienz, even the weather was on your side. It was great to catch up with other cachers again, I am slowly managing to put faces to names now. TFTE
Enjoyed ourselves after the initial confusion. Had a good day catching up with old and new cachers. Thanks to the organisers.
Good to meet some new cachers and catch up with some familiar ones. Great discussions and analysis over various caches meant for a very enjoyable time Thanks so much for organising it all.
Cheers for a great event... aided by great weather of course! It was good to finally put some faces to the names we have become so familiar with.
Was nearly a DNF, but the correct location was tracked down in the end. Had an enjoyable time. It's always great to talk geocaching with like minded people - thanks to WolfieNZ for organising the event.
Good attendance today. Nice to put faces to cachers from the northern island with whom I had previously communicated by email. Also nice to see attendees from Spain and Germany. Thanks Woolfienz and One-Fang for hosting the party. I have forgiven you for the 180m error in the published coords - it is the first time I have managed to find a cache with that large an error! 
Thanks also for the lovely coin that I was lucky to win.

Our first event on the Mainland and the opportunity to meet lots of new cachers, especially all those cachers names we have encountered throughout our travels, as always, it’s nice to catch up with ADV.
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with stunning weather to top it off. Many thanks to Woolfienz and One-Fang for organising. Great to have finally met you all. We wish you all well and happy caching.

Thank you Woolfienz and One-Fang, this is my second event cache in the Mainland and my second caching trip to the South Island, I think that I must be setting a trend, but not intentionally.
Great to meet up with all the cacher’s that turned up for the event, really enjoyed the run around the park to solve the question and answers as it gave me a chance to learn a bit more about Hagley Park as this was the first time that I have really spent any time in here, love all the sculptures and features in here, this was well plan and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The company was great and it was good to finally put some more faces to the names of the cachers that I regularly see that have being very busy down here.
Was a bit surprised to see another cacher from Wellington, ADV knew he was in town as I was following his finds all morning, boy does he get around.
I will definitely be back here with Mrs Yeetrees, was asked by La Vista to relocate North Island Hector's Dolphin Geocoin back to the North Island as it accidentally decided to travel across to the wrong side of the Cook Strait, once again Thank You very much loved it, Happy hunting!!!

Great day and thoroughly enjoyed catching up with those I know and meeting some new friends 
Even bumped into a couple of fellow denizens from the NI 
Weather couldn't of been better, a real stunner of a day, and a beautiful spot. The little cache hunt was fun too and very well done, nice to be able to enjoy the walk around without it being a race.
Totally awesome all round, many thanks Woolfienz for organising it!

We try to be back from our caching weekend on time, forecast is not to bad so hope for a nice day in the park. We would like to meet some cachers.
Looks like I'll now need to skip this one.
Car trouble (nothing serious - just bald tyres from all that caching. Have ordered replacements but they're still on their way to the West Coast).

We are going away for a three nights,but have decided to be back for the Garden Party.Looking forward to meeting like minded cachers.Keeping fingers x for a nice fine day.Cheers Womble-B
Will be there, unless of course a new cache is published on that day and we can go and be FTF while everyone else is otherwise engaged.....could be our only hope for FTF....
Alas, the Blenettes and I will be on the West Coast that weekend. Unfortunately, I've organised for the weather to be luverly and fine on the Coast so it will probably be raining in Canterbury, sorry!
StreetWalkerNZ and I will attend.
Looking forward to catching up and hoping to meet some new cachers.
