Hi everyone, The camp is only 14 sleeps away!! so it's time for a big update and some notifications.
For the first time campers, yes you need to bring your own bedding, toiletries - ie a sleeping bag, pillow, toothbrush & paste etc... We have a full list of suggestions here: http://railscamps.com/#nz_mar_2013 For those that have booked a seat on the Bus it will be leaving the Wellington Train station at 2pm on the Friday and will be leaving the camp at 10am on the Monday. I think it's a 50ish minute journey. The easiest way to get from the airport to the train station is with the Airport Flyer bus: http://www.airportflyer.co.nz/ If you're not going to be needing your bus seat in either of the directions can you please let me know so we don't send out search parties thinking you're lost. If you are getting yourself to the camp, it's the YMCA Camp Kaitoke here: http://goo.gl/maps/33uEL and feel free to turn up from 3pm onwards. If you'll be substantially later can you please let me know. Additionally does anyone driving have a spare seat? I know of someone who's plane is arriving when the bus leaves. :-( We're supplying beer and fizzy drinks this year as part of your ticket. And to help us do that Trineo have come onboard again as major sponsor after helping us out last year. Thanks guys! Love your website design too: http://trineo.co.nz What type of beer? Last year we ran dry of the Weka Cider real quick, so there will be more of that this year including a selection of craft beers. If you do want something else feel free to bring it, but be prepared to share ;-) And yup, having totaly slipped our minds for the first camp in 2011, we have t-shirts this year. They are kindly sponsored by our third major sponsor YouDo (http://youdo.co.nz). They also host the monthly WellRailed meetings in their sweet sweet office: http://www.zoomin.co.nz/photos/3/9/5/d/395d4de2b54069fc6948.jpg We'll have a projector this year too, it takes HDMI and VGA, so if you want to show stuff off, etc.. please bring an adapter. And just a quick reminder of our first major sponsor - Powershop ( http://www.powershop.co.nz). As well as powering some of your homes they'll be powering us all up by covering the coffee at the camp. So a big ups to them for that! We also have AbleTech and Github sponsoring IT Gear and Github additionally providing prizes for the Sunday Night Demo using the above mentioned projector. Thanks guys! If you get lost in your attempts to find the Wellington train station ( http://goo.gl/maps/MKjjW) or something else unexpected happens and you need to contact us, our phone numbers have been sent to you in the direct email. --nahum (& breccan & phil) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WellRailed" group.
