Saturday was free for shopping or exploring the 200 acres of bush. There are many walking tracks to be taken. We had a competition to complete by Sunday night, which required finding answers to 25 questions. This required going to various places in the grounds and finding the answers. Mostly on information boards. They were spread from one end of the camp to the other, which meant we covered many k's. Great exercise.
Saturday evening we had a combined pot luck dessert followed by a card game which saw a new Wairarapa member win and he was crowned "King"

After morning tea the CRC 2 yearly meeting was held. The following officers were elected.
New chairman - Dave McMaster, Wairarapa. The reason Dave was chosen, is that Wairarapa is hosting the next regional rally.
Secretary/Treasurer - Lynne Keatley.
Derek Keatley to remain the regional rep.
Discussion was had on keeping the money in the CRC bank account. The decision was made that it will stay as is. Discussion was also held as to whether CRC would continue. The decision was unanimous to continue as it is.
Sunday tea was a combined BBQ cooked by Wainuiomata and eaten by the rest of us. Very nice too.
Later that same evening, we gathered around a 'Camp Fire', sang songs, played games and roasted marshmallows on the camp fire.

Monday morning we gathered for morning tea and then it was time for the official closing of the rally. A good time was had by all and we were sorry to be heading home after such an enjoyable event. The venue was superb. Ideal for such gatherings.
