Bushball this year is themed: "A Right Royal Affair" so wear a ridiculous hat or come dressed as a princess. Don't forget it is a ball so if you cant think of anything come fomal not as a tramper! Check out the poster.

Tickets for Bushball are $10.  Get you tickets on Tuesday's meeting.  Ticket sales goes into covering our costs such as generator hire, lighting etc.  Any surplus cash will go into complementary drinks but it is a BYO affair.

What to Bring
We will have lots of shelter pitched around the hut for people to party under but bring your usual tramping gear, ball attire, and a tent if you have one...  Dont forget to bring some food along and DONT FORGET YOUR BOOZE.
 
Getting there getting away
Meeting on Saturday 12pm at the hunter carpark at the uni and their will be rides leaving from there.  It is only a short drive but bring some coin to give your driver.  If you have a car bring it along.
 
If you want to come in later feel free.  There may also be some people leaving a bit later who could reply to this post.  Here is a map on how to drive there and how to walk there
 
 
Sleeping
What!! there will be no sleeping!! But if you do want to take a break, bring a tent, find someone elses or the club will supply some flys.

Want to help out setting things up?
There will be a group of us leaving earlier on the Saturday to get things set up and ready.  If you want to help out with this, let me know.

Question

Answer

Yes! Just turn up at the Hunter Car park at 12pm on Saturday and buy a ticket from Tom.  Bushball is a bit different from a regular club trip, there are no sign up forms just turn up and it will be all good.  If you have a car bring it along to help us out with transport.

HEYA GUYS!
um appreantly I'm selling tickets on Friday so...

If you still want to come to Bush Ball this weekend and havent got tickets yet..

!!!LAST MINUTE TICKET SALES!!! 

TIME: Friday 10-12 and 2-4

Where: Kelburn campus Library foyer

COST: $10

So, in terms of car parking out there.  There are two options:

• The top road end which can be a bit dodgy if the upper huttians are on form

• YMCA camp which is good and safe but slightly more walking (not much really). The deal is drive through the gate (preferably open it) there is some sort of doc sign, park somewhere sensible and put a donation in the red donations box.

Hi guys,

The car at 2pm is now full :)

hey guys,

what's the difficulty of the tramp? would a slight ankle injury be a problem?

thanks!!

As easy as they come, about an 1:30 - 2:00 hours over easy terrain.

You would have to be the judge on your ankle injury if it is slight I would say it is ok
