    Forum Get-together Central North Island

    Tentative date Saturday 03 December. Lunchtime onwards, but will kick off the bonfire etc 5pm-ish

    Before the silly season gets into full swing, who's keen on a forum catchup around a fire, cook up some game over the coals, drink some bevies and swap bullshit stories?

    I'm offering up my farm location:

    20 minutes West of Taupo.

    plenty of camping sites
    Longdrop
    warmish shower tent
    clean water
    a big bonfire
    A 14 ft x 14 ft kitchen tent
    A dry room for about 4 people of 'superior youth' (old farts that don't want to camp under canvas) to sleep on mattresses/camp stretchers.

    The rest bring your home on your back, back of ute or whatever and make yourself comfy.

    It would be good to get a rough idea of numbers etc, so yell out below if you are interested, then closer to the time pm me for location details etc.

    Yer mate I could definitely be keen. Supposed to be in the kaimanawas that week so would stop in on the way home. Would have the dog with me if that's all right?

    Would be great to meet some of you fellas.

    Yeah, should be fine. Just need to be under control/on the leash as there's a fair bit of wildlife around I don't want chased

    Aye, great idea. You’re a real good bugga putting up the idea & your place up for the event. I’m down your way this weekend but got to get back early next week, otherwise I’d be there for sure. Bugger!

    Would love to have come but I am committed to the Pistol Club friends and family Christmas event. Have fun guys.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
