We'll he's being sent the packets :-)

I do know he's quite busy with work etc. so the BBS takes a backseat by and large.

Yes I will need to contact him and see if there's anything I can do to help.

So David says it's raining in Patea with snow down low on Egmont, Dunedin is cloudy today, Spiro will have a believe Wellington is hot and 23 :-) how's
life in Ashburton?

It's getting so chilly here in Wellington today that I've had to put on a jersey. Might even be forced to use a heater tonight if the weather stays like this. :)

There's a NZ BBS Facebook page I posted to a while ago, you would probably
know most of them as I got the impression they were mostly CHCH folks.

Hi Nick, welcome back to NZ_FIDONET. :)

I started a Facebook group a couple years ago for the wellington BBSers, and the group still exists. We have had several reunion pissups, but no decent
ones recently.

The last big one we had was in 2012 and we had people show up from around the country, and one from Australia!

Aimee, of Board Shitless fame came back to visit wellington last weekend, and we had a couple of people turn up on short notice. A lot of people have moved around the country or around the world, so it's getting harder and harder to catch up with everyone. But I'm all for an NZ wide reunion get-together. If we move it around the country each time, we can give everyone an opportunity to turn up to one nearest to them. And with enough notice, I'd travel.

I can't paste into here with the terminal I'm using, but in my last message I gave you the name of the NZ wide one. The wellington one is called Wgtn BBS Reunion, but maybe I'll can that and tell everyone to go sign up to the NZ one.
