Round The Mountain - March 2009

We thought it was a great idea to spend the week end driving all the way around Mt Taranaki. Whilst driving around we stopped at many places either for coffee, a guided tour or just a quick look.

Konini Lodge - August 2008

Well the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for an event like this. If you were expecting it to be cold, you wouldn’t have been disappointed at all. It was beautiful and clear though, with freshly fallen snow on the surrounding bush creating a true Taranaki winter paradise.

Hang In There! - July 2008

This month's activity was called 'Hang In There!' As the name suggests it was an afternoon down at the YMCA Climbing wall. The kids really enjoyed themselves - even the adults managed to reach the top of some of the climbs.

The afternoon finished off with a short mystery tour ending at Huw & Helen's for some pizza and chips. Thanks to Jonathan Whitehead and Bryan Moyes for arranging the day.

Hauled Over! - June 2008

The plan was a sand castle building competition. The weather was not on our side!! So the backup plan kicked into action. We went to Puke Ariki and had a look around the Taranaki Whenua exhibition. After this we made our way to RIO's workshop where had our own version of Overhaulin', namely Hauled Over!

Teams of two were timed swapping the front wheels of Bryan & Raechel's beetle. The fastest team of the day were the Vivians. Big thanks to Richard for the use of his workshop and to Bryan & Raechel for letting us abuse their beetle.
