Woohoo, contact has been made! Fingers crossed. In the meantime I'll stick to my other plan of getting a ChCh group to meet regularly. You said you're back in July yeah? Might aim for then and recruit you for help if you're keen.

July 5th plus or minus 2 days.
A regular meet group sound really good. any idea about where? in melbourne we usually go for a food court somewhere. anywhere with good table space is good though

I'm thinking at my youth venue, 442 Tuam street. We have tables, a coffee machine, and it's free.

Not sure exactly, but maybe a weekday at 3pm or 4pm would be great for younger cubers still at school, but then 5 or 530 would work better for older cubers working the grind. And I'm thinking monthly to start with.

First thing to do is see what kind of interest there is, what age are the cubers here in ChCh. I'm keenest for weekdays before 5 because my wife works mad hospital shifts, and I have a 2 year old. Evenings and weekends are tricky, but not impossible if it's a monthly meet I guess.

I'm confident we could secure some funding to get some timers and mats too if that's something people are into. Like maybe the monthly meets could take the form of workshops (Like on specific methods, maintenance, whatever), competition practice, maybe a local league table or mini comps... We could do something pretty cool if we find the people I reckon.

Sounds good. I'm pretty flexible for times and days.

As far as equipment for comps+events, I have ideas I will discuss when we meet

I think the next comp is in Hamilton. That's only a 90 min drive for you. I live in Wellington that's a six hour drive.

It's likely there'll be a comp there again. Maybe nats in December. Joshua will know, since he organises. There certainly is enoght people in Auckland for a comp.

Also Joshua Brunga is the one who organises the comps he knows about where and when in certainties.
