Hi all,

My soon to be wife and I will be traveling through New Zealand on our honeymoon in April this year. I've been contacting the main stores I can find, however I am only hearing about a maybe on a few vintage players in Auckland and maybe Dunedin. We're travelling through the northern part of the north island and doing a loop though the south island. I'd love to meet some of the NZ vintage crew if there are any of you out there. Essentially I need to know if it is worth packing the power or lock it away in the safe at home.

So if you are in NZ and want to try to meet up for a game. If you could let me know ASAP on TMD, that would be fantastic. We can discuss meeting up.

We'll be traveling through the following areas:
Auckland
Hamilton
Rotorua

Dunedin
Te'Anau
Queenstown
Franz Josef
Greymouth
Christchurch

Would love to sling some cardboard with our brothers across the Tasman.

Cheers,
Kaka

We'll be there just one night, our last in NZ unfortunatly.  Would love to bank in more time there but work does call. We get in on the TranzAlpine on the 24th late and fly back to Oz in the afternoon of the 25th.

I'll be picking up a local prepaid SIM when we get into country. So.... I can PM you my number when I get into country to see what we can arrange. Christchurch is going to be a tricky one. most other places we're in for a night to two. This one... Just the one.

When you in Auckland, where will you be in Auckland? I'm in Auckland & know pretty much all the Vintage players in Auckland. I can arrange something Smile

That's ANZAC day, which makes it tough since nothing's open and I have a (chess) tournament from 25 - 28 April. Hope you can get some good games in Auckland at least! Also, enjoy your honeymoon, and the TranzAlpine is pretty Wink.

Hi, sorry for being slack with replies. Wedding set up has been sucking up my whole attention and time. Tonight literally will be the only night I can come out and sling board in Auckland. I am planning at this stage to go down to Vagabond and hunt up a vintage Or EDH game. What I'll do though is to also PM you my mobile number as I have picked up a prepaid sim in NZ

JUst wanted to quickly say a big thanks to everyone who checked this thread out and was able to either make a meet up for slinging some board or tried to organise something. Made the trip that much more fun. Thanks folks.
