Popular Post Bistro Posted June 6 Popular Post Posted June 6 Swapmeat. Need I say more? Come for the longest running o/s event. Just like every year, it’s the first weekend of August. Friday night shenanigans at the ‘Ding Hotel. We've locked in the Lounge Bar again - a bit further away from the pokies but it's choice. 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 $25. Bring ya cash. Saturday afternoon adventures at TBC. Likely to be a cruise and/or a mystery shed visit. Saturday night take #2 at the Formal Brown Tie Dinner accommodated by the Mekong Thai Restaurant, Feilding (formerly known as Lee's Family Restaurant). Note, BYO wine in bottles and/or anything else that fits in one. Strickly no goons. Last year we followed on at the Ding Lounge Bar again but TBC/open for alternatives. 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? 11 Quote
Bistro Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 Also - keen to hear any thoughts re Satdee arvo activities. Last year's go-karting went off like porkchops in the sun with Team Red being champs in the Daytona 100 (that was me and @Flauski by the way). 4 Quote

Any cruise should include a tea break at the new Napier road car park (Ashurst side). The sound of trucks coming down that hill will get your knickers in a twist. BYO tin sandwiches 2 1 Quote
