My suggestion for later in April was also selfish as well because of us having just come back in April from our other trip and to regain some strength but like you Lindelew it will have to be the majority that the decision will be made for.

Sweet Linde. Selfish of me tee hee. We are off to Europe on 19th

I don't mind when we go ... maybe Biddyliz from Wellington would like to keep Beachbelle company! I shall ask her. We could book out a Motel perhaps and party on all night and no problems with driving??? We would be nicely oiled from the tastings So start saving your pennies peoples ... fill up those money boxes with all your change!

I am definitely interested and April would be ok for me at this stage. Will have to start saving.
Hope a lot of you will be able to make it to my birthday bash. It will be held on 22nd Sept in Dargaville. Will let you know venue and further details soon, and will need definite numbers. Will be a midday meal.

omigosh Lolly, can't imagine you not being there! I will have to reorganise - you jetsetter you! Ya gotta have something to tell these Europeans aye?

Maybe the end of March? - LOL - Bother Easter ... it will cause problems with accommodation (and traffic going to and fro the Wineries!) It is early days yet so we can be a bit flexible! What a fun event to look forward to ... good on ya Dr. L!!

Perhaps a bit sooner so we have a chance of some warm weather and long days March sounded good.

So good to see such excitement too have not seen so much posted for ages gredat eh.

Ockfreckle Whens Easter 2013.? Lots of interest in our "Pink Plonk"Challenge Great.!

Yes, we'll just have to wait until our sweet wee Lolly and her hubby can be with us - we're not the New Marketeers without them! Dr L Easter is Frid 29 March to the following Monday.

Unless there is an unusual weather pattern anything after April will be wet and extra cold perhaps so if not around then will have to be much later will it not. We, or at least I, want to take advantage of doing as much as possible and not be hampered too much by the weather but then I am only one Cant work it to suit everyone so if one can fit in with final plans great and if not will just have to join the next one which I am sure will follow.

2013. I,ll have to get a new diary now with all these exciting events to enjoy. Canterbury Grownups &some NZ Grownups are off for 8 Days to Norfolk Island From March 3rd to 10th."Pink Plonk Practice."

Weather these days is unseasonal at any time of year, so can't really rely on it being fine - though they have more fine days there than anywhere in NZ, so should be right - we have to give people an opportunity to save as well, if being too early prohibits them from coming. I don't really care myself which season it is - they all have their own thing aye? It's the company I would go for - all the wonderful GUPs people! Would be awful to go deliberately in summer, just to be disappointed......

Wonderful Practice Dr L! Norfolk Is is a wonderful experience and I know you will all love it!

No more muckin' about on thread for me today - must get some work done!
