Go-4-12

Hi
Meet at Whangarei Girls High School gym carpark at 7.45, leaving at 8am.

For the 8 people going to nelson next weekend please keep an eye on this post. I cannot stress enough that we are going to the south island where it is cold at night, and it is so important that you bring practical clothes. Please bring lunch for Thursday as we will be on the plane at 12.30.

Any special race food needs to be bought by the individual, however we do have access to a supermarket on the thursday.

Anyone wanting to waych  the event please go to the Go-4-12 website and there is a link to the tracking systems that they use. Please dont send me texts asking why our team has made that turn, as I have no idea.
