Hmmm just checked GAS, the cheapest is from $61. Did a quick quote, the trip will total up to $360 for both, returns... Would be very tight with budget due to XMas and my end of year trip back to Malaysia to escort old elderly. Hmmm might have to save the drinks till next year :-(

Sounds like a goodie - I missed a few events while I was overseas, so I'll be at this one!

Yeah count me in...and I promise to not be so loud this time

chiefie: I see GAS has $49 one way to Wellington from Chch... Mmm who would let me and Dean crash for a night (if we can't make it through all night)? :-D

I will put ya up if ya like, but I only have 1 spare double bed and a comfy couch available...
Also, as I live in Stokes Valley, would likely take bus in, and could all chip-in towards a taxi back (unless someone is willing to be a sober driver)
