Eketahuna WorkShop Dates

Freebooter · Principal Sponsor Location: Hamilton

Hi folks,

November is turning into a very busy month for me, and while I know that I have shifted this date to accomodate the needs of others, I am considering either shifting it back or cancelling the event, as I am now booked for every weekend in November, except the original date, and all December except Christmas/NewYears.

Hence the Poll. Please don't vote unless you are actually considering attending.

Thanks,

Nic

I can do the whole of the current weekend, however if the weekend changes back to the original one I will still come along for the friday/saturday.

Would be a shame to see it flagged but I also understand that this is a busy end to the year for so many people. Hope you don't get too burnt out Nick!

Either or really.

Weather wasn't too flash last year on the day we where able to attend so heres hoping it'll pan out better this time.

On that note.... which hordlings are keen to go?

The '08 eke workshop was one of the best camps/events ive ever been to.

Let's get a vehicle together.

Hi Nic,

I was one of the people you shifted the November date for and I appreciate that.

However, I am now busy too with the first Saturday of December now out with a display. We were planning to come up to Eke immediately after the display so we could be there Saturday night and Sunday.

It's a crazy time of the year as it is.

So go with whatever suits you and Dee best.

Heya everybody, For us Eke crew, the last week of November is the better suited date,as the first weekend of December has always been Mauriceville fair weekend, and Conal has a gig planned for that weekend also,on the Saturday at Linton Army Camp... The weather gods should shine apon us thys year, and at present the campground is looking lovely. Thanks for the comment Robin, I must admit it has been one of the "fun-est" camps for me too,the relay was awesome..... and people too.... We'll styll be over for the Tatum weekend Wuzzle..... We wont cancel the weekend either way, yet I believe Nic,that it wouldnt be the same wythout you,as its great to have you share wyth us your thoughts pre-taupo for training....So,on that note.......

As I'm sure you may have guessed, I'd be up for some Rapier, being that the pensioners will have their first meet at Taupo.

Aside from that maybe we could look at something in the way of one or two set piece type things to play up to the crowd for Taupo. I'm not sure what it would involve though. Just a thought.

I will be there for the constant learning curve of living history Gear up
as we use the beautiful surrounds to road test the next authentisity step .

Watching and occasionally joining combat/archery and being with
a proactive and productive bunch of fellows will add some more Icing on an already impressive and loved Cake.

Dam me but a weekend of art (and scary cafes) can bing out the elloquence Smile

Ummm...with a crapped out car, and mid-move I'd love to be there but have no transport for me and my gear...if anyone's willing to pick up a lone me (plus some gear) I'd happily attend!
