PALMY SWAPMEAT 2025: 1-3 AUGUST (20 Year Anniversary!!!)

[Bistro]

Swapmeat. Need I say more?

 

Come for the longest running o/s event. Just like every year, it’s the first weekend of August. 

A milestone this year - 20 years on the trot so we're going to try jazz it up a bit! 

 

Friday night Swapmeat Original @Sparkle is ticking over a milestone decade himself with a shindig in Palmy on the Fridee - most of us regulars will be celebrating with the old codger so fax him a message for the insider info. 

Saturday til noon attendance to the Swapmeet itself hosted by the Palmy North Hot Rod Club down at Manfeild, Feilding. Best place for speedway sauce covered hotdogs and Jag IRS parts. Entrance fee is usually $10 and Automotive only swapsite $10. Bring ya cash. 

Saturday afternoon adventures at TBC. We're gauging keeness on a Le Mans style go-kart race in Palmy - I'll add some details below, and we think if there are a few teams it would be pretty bloody choice!   

Saturday night shenanigans at the Caledonian Hall on Weld Street. $10 entry and the first 40 are in the meat raffle draw. Gates open when I've finished my Chicken Tikka Masala and a couple rounds of Bollywood Bingo at FlameFlameFlameFlame. 

Note - potential for a group dinner option to celebrate 20 years ! 

Sunday morning at some cafe but if you were man enough to party hard then you’ll be in no state to eat. It's a book your own affair so ask around the crew and figure out a plan that works for you.

 

Book your own accom, sort your own ride! 

T-shirts and stickers TBC!

 

Who’s ken?

[Bistro]

For the Saturday afternoon event, we were thinking something like this would be choice. 

 

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in - if we have enough people I can check about booking

Ken for Karting.

Also, that house with the turbo fire and friendly cat is available

[vivaspeed]

@Bistro do you just copy the same event blurb over year to year?

Keen for all of the above. Go karting would be rad, I’m in.

Yes have moved in there so doubt it will be available, could suggest the Tainui school hall, its pretty close to Feilding and dirt cheap.

Yeah, easy as, you can stay in Taupo for a month after Misas before we go to swap meat

Misa is June, this is August haha

[sentra]

Haha excellent- the timing of my comment was poor, he had called and said “in the next couple of months”

happy to stay a month!!

[Truenotch]

Oh man, Misa moving day is almost worth a trip by itself. That's huge news.

[anglia4]

Wow. Misa shed move will take a few hands and a couple of minutes. Is he leaving Taupo?
