I know no one seemed keen to have it in between the tron and aucks ......BUT...... I can get a hall (with a stage) with a kitchen and a dining area (so big enough have gear in there to) where I live for $70 for 5hrs

I live here http://www.wises.co.nz/l/pukekawa/#c/-3 ... 011191/12/ .... so about 45/50 mins from aucks and about an hr from de capo

how far is it from your place? that's like driving to a different country almost haha.

may be worth the drive - as it's middle of auckland/hamilton sort of.

My question would be - how is it for power supply. from experience as a Sparky - most old town halls have like 3-4 power points that are useable and are often all on 1 circuit - may pop fuses etc. The kitchen and oven and hot water are usually on separate ones.

I wonder if any of these could be an option? (scroll down for rates)...would we classify as a 'Community Group'?

I might have another (cheaper) option. Will know on Friday. I also spoke to the venue hire guy and got the price down to $86.25 per room per day if we were to use the A block classrooms.

hmmm, I'll need to check my passport, but it could be a go-er. Have played in these places in bands, don't see it being an issue.

sounds though that hammyfests are taking a tumble.

perhaps we need an aucksfest to regain the lead
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

My church is an events centre with just a stage, no power along the walls. Lol.

Otherwise it would have been great
