Touring 2019 Watoc Rally Of The Year - New Zealand

Hi all, not sure if this is the right place for placing this notice but here goes anyway.
The Triumph Owners MC Club of New Zealand will be holding the World Association of Triumph Owners Clubs Rally of the Year in February 2019

The rally will be held at the South Island alpine resort of Hanmer Springs over the weekend 22-24 February 2019. Accommodation will be in the Hanmer Springs Forest Camp located a short distance from the township. Further information is available on their website: www.hanmerforestcamp.co.nz
Hanmer Springs is located about northwest of Christchurch. The town lies on a minor road a few kilometres off the northern route between Christchurch and the South Island West Coast via the Lewis Pass.
The town is built around a popular hot spring which was discovered in the late 19th century. The hot springs were produced by the fractured rock bed along the Hanmer fault. This hot spring has been developed into an extensive pool complex including a freshwater pool as well as hot pools of varying temperatures.
Hanmer Springs is also a popular tourist destination, with Bungy jumping, jet boating, mountain biking and bush walking activities available. A Visitor Information Centre next to the hot springs provides information about the area and booking facilities for transport.
For motorcyclists the area has a number of excellent rides, in particular the road through to the West Coast via the Lewis Pass. During summer months, gravel roads through the Rainbow Valley to St Arnaud and the Nelson Lakes National Park, and through the Molesworth Station to Blenheim, Picton, and the Marlborough region are worth riding if you want to get off the tarseal.
Costs and a rally application form will be made available in due course and we will be in touch as further information becomes available. If you have any further questions please feel free to get in touch with me.
cheers
