Onsite Updates and Early Entry

[Event Manager | Kiwiburn]

Kia ora koutou!

We've had people on the ground since Wednesday building up the site as quickly as possible. This includes people from MPW, Event Management, Kitchen and as of yesterday, Effigy, Temple, and Site Office. The ball is rolling and things are happening! 

As of today our Early Entry numbers are no longer flexible. You have what you have and I trust you all to make the absolute most of it. I am absolutely stocked to have you all onsite so soon. 

Now is a fantastic moment for me to once again share my undying gratitude and appreciate for the ExCom and our year round volunteers who have worked so incredibly hard to make this event a reality. I know we're all off and enjoying our summers pre-Kiwiburn in different ways - and I hope you each do take a well deserved moment to rest, reflect, and appreciate yourselves. We're so close to watching our magnificent effigy and temple burn that I can smell the wood burn! (or is that just a drill building up the ops office?) 

I would like to make a special note of a few standout people who have made my life so much easier - 

Ronan, our MPW Lead for cooraling a team of 8 people onto site for the most intense three day set up I have seen. 

Bel, our Volunteers Lead for her consistently positive attitude despite the insane chaos that is managing our volunteer applications. 

Kirsten, Angela, and Tany for their incredibly organised and beautiful Town Map that includes GPS locations (insanely helpful for laying out the site!) 

Melle, our Kitchen Lead, for taking all the last minute changes and strange dietary requests in full stride. 

Sammy, our Theme Camps Lead, for jumping on a nearly sinking ship and taking us back on course with new winds in our sails. 

And, of course, our ExCom Team. Andy, Geveta, Craig, Amy, Julia, William, Paul, and Holly. Without each of them leading their teams, answering inane questions, and generally putting up with me and the general chaos of Kiwiburn planning we would be lost. 

Please know how much I appreciate all of you. Your amazing mahi is something I can't say thank you for enough - but I damn well will try. 

P.S. enjoy the site photo of the yard area, and if you can, zoom in to see the sunflowers Mark and Andrea (the landowners) have planted for us to enjoy!

Nga mihi,
