    Father Christmas is on holiday here from the Norther Hemisphere and forgot to bring his suit! He is thus wondering if anyone has one he can borrow, as he has heared he will be needed for some out of season action on the weekend at Totara Flats.

    He is having some technical difficulties and that is why one of his elves is writting this.

    Please contact me (027 643 3899, enviro_runner@hotmail.com) or father christmas himself (021 1105 376)

    Thanks!

    Terra :)
