ScottyNovember 5, 2007 at 6:36 am #7496TomMemberHey man,
Im really keen to do it but im 14 (nearly 15) so the age thing might be a bit of a pain but by the sounds of it your with the the group the whole time so why should it matter?November 5, 2007 at 9:37 am #7497imported_RyanMember"Tom":16jg4g1v wrote:Im really keen to do it but im 14 (nearly 15) so the age thing might be a bit of a pain but by the sounds of it your with the the group the whole time so why should it matter?[/quote:16jg4g1v]Because trips like that tend to involve copious amounts of time spent in bars which you aren’t allowed into unfortunately. Being a ‘kid’ sucks, but wait about three years and life will improve enormously! You will be allowed to drink till you puke and smoke till you choke – sounds like fun eh!
Ryan,
PS: have sent you a rather long PM about fundraising
November 5, 2007 at 11:08 am #7498JasonMemberJust wondering if I’d be able to play in this… I’m going back to Canada for a few months over xmas etc, and will already be in Canada during the trip. I could fly over to Toronto, play in the games, and join the team on the flights back to NZ because that would be roughly when I’d be heading back here.
Does that sound too complicated or far-fetched, or is it plausible?
Seems like a long-shot to me, just wondering your opinion?
November 5, 2007 at 8:04 pm #7499MichaelMemberThat would be very cool, if… I had that money lying around.
November 5, 2007 at 8:38 pm #7500twoleftsMemberSounds like a great way to kick off an OE.
November 6, 2007 at 2:22 am #7501ScottyMemberLast year there was a 15 year old from aussie that came with us. He came with his dad. If you send an email to Alison Reid she would be able to tell you if something could be sorted out.

November 6, 2007 at 2:28 am #7502ScottyMemberIm shifting over to Canada in a couple of weeks, to Toronto, and Im planning on meeting up with every one when they arrive. Last year we had players from Aussie, Scotland, Auckland and Christchurch so I dont see any reason why you couldnt fly in from another area in Canada.
I loved it soo much after going last February that I have decided to shift over there to live ” title=”Grin” />

Drinking age in Ontario is 19, not 18. Add another year sadly

[/quote:2p72yovg]Not as bad as BC though, which I think is 21
November 6, 2007 at 7:30 pm #7505MichaelMemberahh perfect so If I pull $3500 out of my ass at least I can still drink ” title=”Wink” />, Most of the world is 21 bar the select few where its either the same as NZ or less than NZ

[/quote:2kxr6v17]BC is 19 as well. All across Canada except Quebec, which is 18.
November 6, 2007 at 8:35 pm #7507MichaelMemberAny where that french is spoken is most likely 18 or less lol

EDIT: yep, and so is Manitoba … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age

November 6, 2007 at 8:53 pm #7509ScottyMemberQuite suprisingly we didnt get much chance to drink last time because we were all soo tired. We would come home and just collapse in our beds.
Mind you we were staying in a Christian Camp called Teen Ranch, where we werent allowed to drink . Next year they are going to be staying somewhere else though.
