    Matiu/Somes Island free trip!

    Hello all,
     
    I just got this e-mail from Gecko. It looks like a awsome weekend! :) Sadly I will not be attending as it clashes with the bouldering champs, but for all you no-climbers I highly recomend going!
     
    Great opportunity here to get to the beautiful Matiu!

    Fancy a weekend on Matiu/Somes Island? All expenses paid!
    This weekend (Saturday 23 Feb - Sunday 24 Feb) the Karobusters have
    their next trip to the island.


    Karobusters go to the island about three times a year to help DoC -
    the primary focus is removing karo and other weed species (hence the name). We have
    also painted, removed rubbish and a few other tasks.

    We also have a great social time in the evening - cricket and night
    walks penguin spotting are the current favourites. 


    DoC provides free transport, accommodation , evening BBQ  and  breakfast. Everyone brings their own lunches. 


    Please let  Dave Cox know by email  ASAP  if you want to come.
    coxfamily@paradise.net.nz  Alternately do feel free to call for a
    chat. 04 904 0594 - evenings (You need to dial the 04 to get to
    Kapiti).

    sorry about all that random stuff at the bottom of the post, I relay don't know where it came from. It might have been from me trying to edit it to fix some spelling mistakes...
