karrotsishere Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Here is a link to the proposals good to look back on as a reminder https://www.hrnz.co.nz/assets/FAQs-Change-of-birthday-Consultation2.pdf That scheme is called Silk Road. And the name re country cup is Country Grass Gems & Springtime Gems Says too stakes have been increased across the board for all race meetings. And a Jnr driver concession scheme is being developed and launched 1 Jan 22. Says they were due to present to ALL clubs on 15/10/21 at Annual Conference BUT think read due to covid it was postponed. Guess that is why they are releasing on HRNZ the dates anyway, so hopefully the release all the other stuff too hehe.

Three years ago, Globe and I when were on on Racecafe, I will clean my mouth out, invited members to meet up at the Jewels in Cambridge, and we were the only takers. Apart from that, I have not met anyone on here, and are happy to have conversations about our wonderful sport of racing, and will continue share when I have something racing. Maybe we should try something like that again when this madness is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have one in Cambridge or Alexandra Park, or both, and someone from the South Island to organize it there. I am also on the N.Z Trotting Hall of Fame committee, based at Alexandra Park, so can arrange a visit there too sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just now, pete said: Maybe we should try something like that again when this madness is over. Well I have always toyed with the idea of having a face to face with those people I have been conversing with for years. Logistical nightmare ,as you say in the current climate. I am sure some of us might be surprised at appearances compared to comments. Years ago our Plumbing firm in Wgtn had an answer service that people rang and left a message, and we would ring them up and retrieve the message . The lady that answered the phone had the most silky/smooth sexy voice, it oozed sexuality. Well after 4 yrs of this we were invited to a Xmas party put on by the aforementioned service ,and most of us were champing at the bit to see this woman. Well , and not being to disingenuous to any females on here, it was like looking at the Goodyear Blimp. Lovely lady but, boy . Taught me a lesson. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 19 years old and working as a claims clerk for a big insurance company and I used to have to talk to this girl from the assessors. I fell in love with that voice. And then I fell out of love when I finally got to meet her. Nuff said. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew Happy was a good poster & decent poster, same re Rusty & also Globe & Mardy. Saw they were here. Had I not known that, then most likely would not of come over. Would of stopped posting all together. If you don’t know the hosts its much better knowing someone at the party if you are going alone so you will have someone to talk with & know the type of environment you will be going into. I mean the convo could be really boring otherwise. And also if anyone else you know is coming along that you get on well with esp if you are a newbie in town. But yip each to their own. Anyway moving on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigos1 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Now a Drinks Night is a great idea, I recently was asked if I was interested in a Virtual Drinks Night to discuss "lefty" views! I didn't as it would have meant missing Addington harness. However the idea is good , I think , Pete would have to set up a "zoom" thingee and then all interested would join. Whata reckon Pete! ps: I have NO Idea how it really works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globe might have even joined Griffins after me advertising on Race Cafe and think Mardy did as well. I know Brad Reid did when he joined our second syndicate - wish he had decided he didnt get enough money for Bolt for Brilliance and kept him and leased him to us as he might give us a run for our money tomorrow I hope to be in Auckland if Covid lets us travel over Xmas New years as my wee grandson will be in Starship for several months and I will be missing him by then so a catch up and another visit to the racing museum would be excellent Edited October 24, 2021 by Enteebee spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also a moderator in the Ange and Dave days, along with Bruce M. Castleton's Missions was certainly a mighty horse, and through his early racing, and learnings, he did hand us a couple of nice wins. Wishing you a good result tomorrow.
