Organisers: Patrick Hayes, Neve Hopman

 

This is the new date for bush ball cause of the shit weather forecast for the 20th - 21st, please withdraw if you can no longer make it, or sign up if you now can!

 

"World's best ball in New Zealand's finest bush"
"Like a school formal, but it's VUWTC and you're in the bush"

This is a Ball, in the bush, a social trip that happens somewhere in the Tararua Ranges. 

This will involve an easy 2/3 hour walk to Smiths Creek Shelter in the Tararuas. We'll all camp here overnight wherever we can find spots, and have a dance party!! It will include costumes, sing alongs, full sound and fancy flashing lights.

If that doesn't tickle your fancy, there will also be a bonfire to sit and natter :)

Smiths Creek Shelter is also, as the name suggests, by a creek, which I (Neve) can confirm is gr8 for a swim the morning after.

 

You will need to bring: 

  • Tent (limited club supply - bring own if possible), roll mat (can be borrowed from the club), sleeping bag, headtorch

  • Warm and rainproof layers, walking shoes/boots

  • A killer costume (anything wedding related, brides, grooms, popes, flowergirls... the more crestive the better!)

  • Food to sustain you for 24 hours (We will not be providing meals)

  • Bevereges of your choice - no glass

  • A wedding themed costume!

 

Where and when to meet?

12:30 Saturday, at the Hunter Carpark, VUW

A bus will whisk you to the start of the track, and back again on Sunday afternoon

Cost: $35 (to cover transport, some walking refreshments, and other gear to enable *the biggest party ever* [TM]
