10th Anniversary Paihia Weekend
December 2018 was the tenth anniversary of the Holden Special Vehicles Club Inc. and we headed north to celebrate with a total of 21 cars and 41 members. Met at the Fire Pot Café’ in Gordonton, convoyed to Kumeu to the Fireplace Café for lunch, Uretiti lay-by stop to stretch legs then onto Paihia to the Kingsgate Hotel Autolodge. Day two drove out and around the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and complex then onto Kerikeri for coffee, Stone Store and grounds for photos, Makana Boutique Chocolate Factory for sampling (and purchasing), Keriblue Ceramics and Fudge Factory for more sampling, then coast to coast to the Opononi Resort Hotel for lunch, back across to the east coast to the Mahoe Farmhouse Cheeses and Northland Kauri Timber Yard for more tasting, then finally back to the Autolodge for buffet dinner, some speeches and plenty of stories. Day three saw members head off in different directions with a group heading to Matakana, via Mangawhai, for lunch then home. Final tally around 1,022 kms travelled and a fantastic celebration.
