Update: Ze Pervy Kappa and Chun Li have pulled out because of lack of money. This is why I asked for people to be sure they can commit first. All things considered I am going to pull out too.

This means there is room for one more person now.

Please note the update:

So far we plan to have;
Four bunk room: Friday and Saturday.
RainbowMoonDust.
Phoenix
MajorNightside

Im keen put me down! however ill have to wait till the 20th to pay as ive just started a new job and am getting paid fortnightly.....

By MajorNightside. 11/04/10, 07:11 am

Put me down as a maybe. I don't know what's happening with my friends who said they were gonna go down atm.

Though I'm planning to go down Friday and return to Chch on Monday

By Reiko Arashi. 11/04/10, 07:18 am

I'm thinking about it - but i didnt want to mess with it considering i've been having interesting fun times trying to defend myself when i dont need to LOL. But i need a place to stay considering i wont be going home that night.

I think Cyren (Minato Mori?) was looking for someplace cause Corum was telling me about it a while back.

27 bucks ain't bad.

Yes, if you PLEASE could highlander i would definatley like a spot ^_^ do we pay you for the booking, or do we pay then?

By Highlander. 11/04/10, 08:48 am

Um, no deatils yet guys. But the max we can fit in a room is 6, but they also have 4 bunk rooms. Don't know how many of either, or how long they will last. Twin rooms are more expensive, $58, so like @29 each.
So I guess we need confirmed numbers, and nights, as quick as possible.

I am going down friday evening, and leaving sunday night, so am only looking at booking Friday/Sat. But nothing stopping others booking Sunday as well.

PS. I though Reiko/Cyren and others were going to stay at a motel?

PPS. If people could like PM me their full names (first/last) if I don't have them, and a contact (probably cell) number. Then I can supply that to the backpackers, and you can get settled in whenever you turn up.

PPPS, does anyone need picked up from/dropped off to the airport.
I can't pick up. But may as well see what we can organise.

By Reiko Arashi. 11/04/10, 04:10 pm

Highlander, i was thinking of it - i gotta talk to cyren see what he's doing but he was looking for something.

But even tho i could give my aunt's motel business it's like almost 200 bucks a night for a group room - and it's max 4.

- I still should see if ladykirby and anyone else that aren't close enough to town need spots >_<

Yeah me,scott, sam and nat need to find a place so if you have a 4 bedroom dorm that would be sweet! although $50 a night don't sound tooooo bad either *shrugs*

By MajorNightside. 12/04/10, 07:29 am

Put me down as a definite now. Is anyone staying in Dunedin on Sunday?

That would make 10 of us, enough to fill up a 6 and a 4 bedroom. nodnod

Highlander is the one to talk to about this, I believe he is booking the rooms.

Quote :: Put me down as a definite now. Is anyone staying in Dunedin on Sunday?

I dunno, some of us are going back with Highlander myself on sunday, he is thinking of going back monday, we will have to wait and see I guess.

I'm only doing the backpackers cyren cause LMAO - i can't afford more than the 27 dollar room - Commodore Motels is awesome yes - but for the amount of time i'm actually going to NEED a room? LOL I'm only needing Saturday night as i live in dunedin anyways (just not close enough to town to get away with not doing it. XD)

If i need to pay for friday i'll see what i can do - but i'm definatley interested, so i can do more than a maybe :)

Email form the backpackers;

Hi Glenn

Thanks for those details. I am able to book a six bed bunk room for you, however you would need to pay for all six beds to have exclusive use of the room and given that you will have a baby then this would be necessary. Otherwise, I would suggest that you consider a twin room and a four bed share which may be more comfortable. I have tentatively booked the six bed room. To confirm the booking I would ask for a deposit of $162 ($27x6) being first night's accommodation. Please pay this directly into our bank account and I will confirm the booking on receipt of the funds.

They are asking for the the first night in advance. I can either ask to secure it with a credit card and we pay when we get there, or maybe we all pay the whole lot up front? What is easiest guys? (But I will bill anyone who just does not show.)

So at the moment we have enough for a 6 bunk, and Cyren has enough for a 4 bunk, and then Reiko wants a bunk too, but for one night?

I don't mind either way, although the earliest I can pay is wednesday. nodnod

Have you made up your mind on if you are leaving sunday night or staying? Might be helpful to know, either is fine by me. nodnod

By Highlander. 12/04/10, 11:51 am

I am going back sunday at 5pm! I think. I am trying not to take anymore time off work. Planning big things over new years.

By RainbowMoonDust. 12/04/10, 11:56 am

@Maka: Forgot to mention, these will probably be mixed dorms, just letting you know.

For my birthday? puppyeyes

I wonder what date Timaru camp will fall next year, should be around then sometime, maybe? :think:

Sure so we leave straight the event is over? Fine by me as long as we don't miss anything cool.

By Highlander. 12/04/10, 12:00 pm

Well there is the afterparty, but that is on Saturday? Reiko please enlighten us.

PS. Emma. lets ditch Timaru and go to Auckland, Welly and some beaches/rivers/quaint towns in between.

Noooo Timaru is too cool to ditch gonk

We can always swing by Auckland on the way back home anyway. Wink

By Highlander. 12/04/10, 12:06 pm

Can't afford to go Nelson, Blenheim, Timaru then back to the North Island.

The afterparty details are in a seperate thread - but it's about 8 PM - We're making the location a suprise TEE HEE Very Happy

>_> basically wherever the "SURPISE" is it's in dunedin ,it's near the octagon and not too far from campus or the backpackers.

I AM reserving a room because i need to be in town the night of the party and there's no use me going home at 3 AM.

But yea, the afterparty will have goodies, raffles music and a lot of awesome sauce.

There will probably be some sort of random contest on the night as well.

As for me? For now i only need one night, but if it is EASIER i can do two - i may do two so i'm not like hauling ass down to campus at 9 AM. If i'm there for friday i can't come check in until after 5PM. - I have previous committments. I'm going to double check with ladykirby and brendon if they need something as well or not - i'll get back to you within 24 hours :)
