Talked to the obstetrician but he can not hold baby off for a month so that I can attend :-(

I live a 10 minute walk away from Founders Brewery... Maybe I should start an auction for use of my spare room :)

Nick - what's the availability like now for the Sunday tour? If you have any empty seats I am certain I could fill them with myself and a few other locals.

Have got a couple of spaces left in the bus for the Sunday trip. Leaves Paradiso Backpackers around 10.30am. Let me know bro.

Well I just read your plans again and I am definitely keen to join in for the NZ Hops visit - but can happily meet you guys there if the bus is full. 021 759 593, unless I can meet you at Paradiso and grab a lift. We can talk about the Sunday trip then.

Sorry won't be able to make it as I've just got back from a two week road trip in the South Island! Unfortunately I missed Golden Bear (heard some good things about it though) but I would recommend Monkey Wizard in Riwaka (they should be at Marchfest). I was lucky enough to get a tour of New Hoplands processing plant and oast, is that where you are going or different company? Enjoy :)
