Friday 30th June - Sunday 2nd July 2023
Join us for a club trip to the inaugural Te Anau Wapiti Trade show.
When you register, we will share the list of attendees so you can potentially share rides and accommodation with another member.
We are also looking at renting a mini van to transport everyone there.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST FOR THE WEEKEND BY 23rd JUNE - this allows us to gauge numbers and try and negotiate group discounts and a minivan potentially for the transport there and back.
The Plan
Friday
Depart Friday after work around 4pm ish - heading to Te Anau (a 2 hour drive) and because of limited food options without prior booking, we will plan to meet in the Baliliez Cafe and Bar on the main street.
There is a Wapiti Premier movie on the Friday night at either 5.30pm, 7pm or 8pm so ideally we will plan for the 8pm one. (You will need to book that yourself $20pp)
Accommodation
You can choose where to stay however one of the nearest is the Top 10 Holiday Park - If you want to share a room, register for the club trip that you are keen to share and we can share your details with others so that you can book a shared room together.
