BDA780 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Pizza Barn is penciled for midday on the 29th with a maximum of 30 people. As this falls on the same day as Caffeine and Classics I will look into the Sunday following as another option. Also, an opinions on ideal charity would be super.

GreenTC Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 This sounds like a good cruise, was at this very Pizza shop last weekend on the 919 and can vouch for the quality of the food and beverages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Maybe we could funds raise for: Breast cancer, we all like boobs. SPCA, we all like animals. Cure kids, because kids. Or, bring tinned goods etc and make a donation to the Auckland city mission as part of their Christmas food parcel thing. This is often a good option as no one actually has to have money? Woodcocks road is an awesome fang road. The clash with C&C is unfortunate, but not the end of the world. This time of year a clash is unavoidable. December even more so. Pick a date, stick with it and those that can make it will make it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks kiwi808. Yeah i booked it in and then realised my mistake. You've probably already thought of this but what if everybody meets at Caffeine and Classics and then leaves from there? It will add some delay (probably significant) to the leaving time but may be an option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 idk if its of any value, but we have access to a property on mangawhai road that has a big outdoor area, lots of parking, a tennis court and a pool... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 You've probably already thought of this but what if everybody meets at Caffeine and Classics and then leaves from there? It will add some delay (probably significant) to the leaving time but may be an option. I hadn't thought deep into it. I shall give this a go. Ill recalc the route and see what time the convoy gets to Waipu and ask the pizza barn. idk if its of any value, but we have access to a property on mangawhai road that has a big outdoor area, lots of parking, a tennis court and a pool... This is a good option as an alternative to beers at the pub and families will feel more welcome. Ill send you a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Lots of car clubs meet at C&C then head out on their own organised cruises. It is not unusual for members of oldschool to go from C&C to a local eatery after the event. In fact this is actually a regular thing.

BDA780 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 UPDATE!!! Please look at the first post. In summary: Cruise is from Smales Farm allowing for time to look at other transportation devices before commencing at 10:30am. Bring a dollar coin for charity or canned food for Caffeine and Classics Auckland City mission run. Let me know if you are attending so I can tally a number for the Pizza place. They have a limit of 30 but im sure we can arrange an alternative if it is too large. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
