CW Meetup at the Basin Reserve (NZ vs. India Test)

[HeathDavisSpeed]

So, this was alluded to a while back in the relevant series thread. Dan is heading over, I'm there, Hurricane's going.

On the Friday, I'll try and get there early to grab some prime real estate at the top of the bank under one of the Pohutakawas with some deckchairs, picnic etc. Anyone keen to do the same on the Saturday?

Anyone else heading along?

Oh yeah, and don't forget about Jono. There's always Jono.

 

[hendrix]

hmmm, anyone keen to meet up for the Auckland test?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I'll be there for 4.5 days from the first day on Friday.

Keen. I'll keep my eye out for you. You still look like this, right?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Bit more grey in the hair these days and a bit less speedy, but why not?

I could always decide to wear my bright yellow Firebirds shirt again...

...and then a non-descript jersey over the top.

 

[Jono]

Hell yeah.

I'm just gonna walk in and yell "HEATHHHHHH" and you will know its me.

 

[Shri]

Well if a camera pans to a crazy guy yelling at the ground we will all know its you.

 

[Smudge]

Just look for someone falling down the bank with a beer in his hand, and Heef will be right next to him.

 

[Hurricane]

I am probably going with my cricket team on the Friday but will still come over to say hello for a bit on the Friday - I am trying to get free on the Saturday so I can hang out for the whole day however.

I enjoyed Heef's post about the Firebird's shirt hidden by a non de-script jumper. For those not in the loop with that inside Joke - at the last meet up Heef assured me I would have no problem recognising him or the others at the bar because he would be wearing a Firebirds shirt. Yet when he turned up he had it on underneath his jersey. So I ribbed him about it.

(He actually had a good excuse - but it didn't stop me).

hmmm, anyone keen to meet up for the Auckland test?

Yeah, potentially! Sounds good. But the Sunday's probably the only day I'll be able to make it to - and with it being day four, it could depend on the match situation by that point.

I keep seeing Redmunds on the street and he keeps power-walking away while pretending not to see me, not sure what good a meet-up at Eden Park would do

 

[Jono]

Get excited.

 

[Bahnz]

Am absurdly busy atm, but I might pop around on either the saturday or the sunday, so will keep an eye out for the JimmyGS fan club banner.

 

[Binkley]

I would love to be there, but I am getting married this weekend. Unbelievably poor planning on my part. I have, however, already tagged a mate and instructed him to bring a smart phone and provide me with regular score updates.

 

[Dan]

What's the weather looking like over there?

 

[Blain]

Pretty settled atm, been **** the last few days but forecast is looking clear, early 20's. Although I've learnt in Wellington you cant really read to much into the forecast more than a couple days out.

 

[straw man]

This guy a late blow-in to the CW meetup at the Basin

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

So, about the banner.

Can anybody be arsed?

 

[_Ed_]

I say do it.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah, something for those of us at home to look out for

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I'm only asking because I can't really be arsed.
I'm bus-ing down to Wellington in an hour or so, and wont really be able to put something together down there.

So, Wellingtonians.......
