We couldn't have done it without you chchkiwi! We made a good team. Thanks for all you did!
Also a big thanks to kpc for organizing dinner at Euro after I dropped the ball. First time there and won't be the last.
Finally, Audrey - the nametags were awesome. Thank you again.

What a fantastic weekend! Huge thanks to crankychick and wijomas for their meticulous organization, to Audrey for producing the name tags, and to all of the attendees for visiting this part of the world - a wonderful group of people who are a pleasure to know through FT and AFF.
Special thanks to kpc for organizing the Sunday evening meal at Euro. It's no wonder folks return again and again.
Had the best time and already looking forward to next year's event on the Gold Coast.

Our bus driver shows us all how it is really done!
Bus driver coming down the dune...
... and through the water

He only came speeding down because he was desperate to pee!

Its scary how many FTers I recognize in those photos 
I'll put my plug in once again for the date to shift (I know tradition has it over Memorial Day Weekend) but there is zero chance of me getting that weekend off.
Glad you had another successful event!

I wouldn't dream of touching Leon's photos!
Here is the group photo at Cape Reinga, the northenmost tip of "mainland" NZ.
