‘Gateway to Paradise’

2018 Rally and AGM

The 2018 Annual Rally and AGM are going to held in Cromwell in the heart of Central Otago, commencing on Friday afternoon January 5 and concluding on Monday morning January 8.

Put these dates in your diary now!

The venue is “The Gate” which is booked out to us for that period.

It is a terrific venue which has just been refurbished and developed, as has much of the Cromwell town centre across the road, and you will be able to be as busy or as lazy as you like in this fantastic location!

The Gate is an upmarket motor lodge with very comfortable, quiet rooms, all with great views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards, and of course there is plenty of safe parking for our BMW’s.

It is also close to Lake Dunstan and there are great walks in all directions for those whose bottoms are sore from lots of riding!

The Gate has its own cafe, ‘Forage’, which is open from early morning until late in the day, and which caters for all tastes and wallets. If you want to stretch your legs a bit, cross the road and check out the cafes, bars and eateries of the Cromwell.

Over the Rally weekend there will be organised road rides and adventure rides—we can even organise for you to hire a trail bike if you come on your road bike.  There will also be a wine tour for those wine lovers amongst you.

If you want to do your own thing, the choices are huge, from Highlands Park to the many cafes and historical townships and sites that abound in Central Otago.

Once you have registered, we will send you a Rally Pack which will give you advance notice of what you can expect in Paradise—and yes, we can even take you there!

Please DO NOT contact The Gate yourself because all room bookings will be done as part of registration which will open in the July Newsletter. Click  HERE for a protected Word version of the 2018 Rally Registration Form.  Click HERE for a PDF version of the 2018 Rally Registration Form.
