Goetz - when can we start booking accommodation ? and how many, if any intend taking families with kids? I'll be reluctant bringing my boys if there is not a reasonable contingent of children, likewise if the rally is not intended to be child friendly environment, then thats cool, I can respect that, I just don't want the bullshit of "you don't take children to scooter rallies" banter, just need some consesus up front if this is going to be child friendly or not, and plan accordingly.

MAKE A RUN SOUTH OF THE BORDER!?!?!!!
MUY BUENO
even have a awsum mexican hat, give me a reason to wear it
Just for the benefit of anyone who has a really poor grasp of New Zealand geography, where exactly is Turangi?
near the middle of the north island a bit below lake taupo
Thanks ice.
but they are older????
should be ok just when they go to bed they might have to put up with those noisey buggars, not usally me cause i pass out early
Is there a group going from Auckland? If so, where are we meeting and how to I secure a space in the cabins? I am really keen as I am new to AKL, NZ and scooting in general. Thanks!
That is the clearest, most precise post I have ever seen you make.....

It's actually right at the southern point of the lake itself...about 1 1/2 hrs from Taupo itself by push-bike
Mine's a Speight's, thanks.
you obviously havent been on a rally organised by me ;-p
we always cater for kids and families... there will be a nice bunch of youngsters of all ages arround.
It is organised in a enviroment similar to the last national in Waihi, but will have more activities for young and old all arround.
i will set up a email adress very soon so you can ask for enrolment forms... but they will not be available till 2nd week january due to other commitments.
Accommodation will be in either cabins or tent or campervan.
I have pre-organised a good bunch of cabins, but if you wish to book before enrolment, here is the contact:
www.turangicabins.co.nz
The cabins are 20$ per person and night, 10$ per child. They have 2,3 and few 4 berth cabins .. if you wish to book ahead, just tell them that you are with the national Rally crowd.
If Tupo race day is same weekend - no sweat, no real interest of conflict as it will likely a very diffrent crowd in Turangi to the races... and if timing is right (Saturday) we could change our plans and make the ride to the racetrack instead to the top of Mt Ruhapeu.
Enrolment for the Weekend Rally will be 50$ - kids under 12 will be free. This is seperate from accomodation.
"if it doesn't fit, use a bigger hammer!"
the cabins are a bit away from the main hall and kitchen ..and a far way away from the grass track ;-p
