SILVER FERN RALLY MOVES NORTH FOR 2012
Promoted by the Marathon Rally Car Club Inc.
Media Release
July 1st 2011 – Immediate release
SILVER FERN RALLY MOVES NORTH FOR 2012
After three successful rallies in the South Island, the NZ Silver Fern Rally organisers have made the decision to move their week long marathon event to the North Island for 2012. It will also be the first time that two wheel drive cars only, will be eligible to compete.
"With the event held bi-annually and growing in local as well as international popularity, we surveyed the events past competitors, and they responded with the majority sending us a strong message indicating a need for a fresh look, and to make this a truly New Zealand event" said rally chairman, Hamilton’s Gary Smith.
"Yes the North Island will bring a whole load of new challenges, but nothing our small but dedicated organising team feel can’t be overcome. We started from nothing in 2006 down south, and have built up a great team of can-do people who want the event to succeed" Smith said.
Organisers will now begin the process of planning the rally route and overnight stops. This will entail meeting with, and working closely with, Car Clubs, Local Councils, land owners and community groups.
"We can’t emphasise enough that without the support of all these people an event of this size could never happen. However our preliminary discussions suggest a positive attitude with everyone working together to make another successful event" Smith added.
Previous rally manager, Timaru’s Carl Rabbidge commented, "I have every confidence that our South Island based event management team members will enjoy the challenge that the North Island environment will bring".
Rabbidge added "the whole team have done a fantastic job in establishing the NZ Silver Fern Rally as the world’s premier marathon car rally and the intention is to return south in 2014, and then maybe alternate islands if this idea works."
The 2012 NZ Silver Fern Rally has been calendared by MotorSport New Zealand, for the week of November 10th – 18th 2012.

Turning 40
I read somewhere that forty is the old age of youth and fifty is the youth of old age. So I guess that puts me somewhere in the middle. mid life crisis here I come! The great thing about reaching another decade is that you get tremendously spoilt! No big surprises which was good just lots of time with friends and family and loved ones. I am truly thankful to be here to enjoy this time it makes me appreciate what I have.
On my big day I had 2 sick kids home from school, my lovely mum looked after them and my girlfriend took me to town for the day. Just devine....no deadlines just a day out with my best friend. We shopped had lunch shopped some more and then we had an hour long full body massage. WOW I do recommed this if you have never had one it was just luxurious. Afterwards we retired to the relaxing lounge to enjoy a glass of champers and brownie and chatted until 6pm (when they closed) then it was home to our families.
A couple of days later I met 2 girlfriends for lunch, they had both gave me hand made gifts which reflect their personalities perfectly....thanks girls, luv ya.
Last weekend my lovely husband arranged childcare for the whole weekend and we went on a 48hr retreat. Treated ourselves to rest, sleep, a good book, good food and walks on the beach. It was so relaxing.
So I'm back with my feet on the ground but have still got a really good sounding voucher to use from my big sis and best friend. Its to walk part of the Able Tasman Track, one night included. On my wish list I had: to walk the Heaphy Track (4 - 5 days tramp) which hopefully one day I will get to do. But I cant wait to head off to the able tasman, with those two I know we will have a blast! Thanks everybody for making my day really special, I love you all very much. xxx
PS the pictures are me and 2 girlfriends out for lunch. The room we had our massages in. Me and my best friend.

Something to Ponder On Today
The most important thing in life is to stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will". Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.
