I'm in Paekakariki. The folk scene is alive and well and thriving here, so you should have a good time. Welcome! (when you finally get here)... |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: ChanteyLass Date: 26 Oct 12 - 10:40 PM It's a wonderful place. Lucky you! |

Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: GUEST Date: 28 Oct 12 - 03:25 AM Good move, I'm about an hour away, get in touch with me at proeng.co.nz., me name is John. |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Gurney Date: 28 Oct 12 - 03:28 AM I would like to see you there at the Auckland F.F., the biggest in NZ. Still small enough to meet the folkies from everywhere, though. I moved here in 1974. The culture-shock is quite minor, really. |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 28 Oct 12 - 02:10 PM Mary - sorry to hear you're leaving us (even if I haven't seen you for a while). Hope you have a great time there. Best wishes Mick |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: The Sandman Date: 28 Oct 12 - 06:02 PM I dont know who you are, but I wish you every success, and hope you enjoy your new home |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Murray MacLeod Date: 28 Oct 12 - 06:45 PM Good luck with your move, Mary, I had hoped I would have been able to come down to see you again, but I guess it wasn't to be. Are you still playing your Martin Backpacker ? |

Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Vic Smith Date: 29 Oct 12 - 07:07 AM Vectis is the Latin name for The Isle of Wight. I can foresee some engineer and logistical problems in moving a fairly large island from the Solent to the archipeligo that borders the Pacific Ocean.... and when they get it there where are they going to locate it? ... or perhaps this just refers to Mary Barr. Good luck, Mary! |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: My guru always said Date: 29 Oct 12 - 09:13 AM LOL Vic!!! And Mary has a birthday too?? Many Happies for Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday and All your days! |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: vectis Date: 30 Oct 12 - 07:40 PM Thank you all for your help and information and the heap of PMs with info and invites. I don't know if I will make this Auckland festival but hope so, it would be great to meet Gurney and Little Robyn after all these years. I have only been to Wellington in January when the clubs are all shut for summer so maybe I will get down there once I have settled in. I will have the kettle on waiting for you Splotty, Dame and Brian. Will you be at Katikati? That looks like it will be my local club. Sandra - I may well hop the ditch one day and visit Oz. House on market and starting to pack... |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: GUEST Date: 31 Oct 12 - 12:03 AM Hi "Vectis" I wish the Isle of Wight would move to New Zealand .. it would save me a fortune in air fares when I go there from Oz(every 2-3 years) to visit my family. Hope you settle in well ... good to see another Caulkhead moving down under!! |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 31 Oct 12 - 02:33 AM for future reference Australian club & Festival links and Folk Alliance Australia Directory see ya one of these years sandra |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Will Fly Date: 31 Oct 12 - 05:03 AM Are you leaving the zobstick under a glass dome to be displayed at Seaford on club nights? If I ever get over to see my cousin and her family in NZ, I'll come and haunt you! Best wishes :-) |

Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Harmonium Hero Date: 02 Nov 12 - 05:02 PM Good luck to you both Mary. Hope you can sell your house before it becomes submerged, as seems to be on the cards for a lot of us here - another good reason to emigrate! John Kelly. |
Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: Tattie Bogle Date: 02 Nov 12 - 08:43 PM Good luck! You might have to get the lager phone fumigated on entry! |

Subject: RE: vectis is moving to New Zealand From: GUEST Date: 03 Nov 12 - 06:11 PM Eek! I thought for a moment you meant the Isle of Wight bus service (Southern Vectis) was moving to NZ! It would be some time before anybody noticed ... Good luck to you, and a safe journey. |
