Napier 2008
Well here could be the ultimate holiday trip. :D
At Easter weekend 2008, Napier will be “hosting” :? the barmy army as the NZ cricket team play the English in a test match, BUT wait there is more! :8)
The annual Highland Games will also be held at Napier that weekend, BUT wait there is more!!!! :8)
:!: The NZAMRC will also be holding their Bi-annual model railway convention. (http://www.nzamrc.org.nz/) Short of the All Blacks playing a test match in Napier that weekend it doesn’t get much better than that. :!:
:shock: Accommodation is getting a bit scarce, but if you have an interest in Model Trains, Cricket and things Scottish this could be the ultimate weekend away. Flying time from Europe is a very reasonable 24 hours plus time spent in Airports.
I will be there (along with the family :roll: ), and there is a strong likelihood that Istein (gauge 1) will also be in attendance.

If there's nowhere to stay, I'll just pop over for a day :wink:
Alan,
I am sure that we could find somewhere for you to stay.
If you were especially good, we might even let you sleep with Istein :P
If you couldn't bear the thought of sleeping with trains, there is bound to be a hayloft somewhere that is free.
Unfortunately there are no coalmines nearby for you to hunker down in.
