Important information for members attending the Goldie Vineyard Tour on Waiheke Island
Round the Bays is occurring on Sunday 18 March and the run starts on Quay Street (near Vector Arena) at 9.30am.
In order to avoid the crowds we have moved the programme forward by one hour.
We will catch the 11.00am Downtown ferry (via Devonport) instead of the 10.00am ferry and return on the 4.00pm ferry (via Devonport).
Your Fuller’s ferry tickets, programme, parking suggestions and road closure information will be sent out to you the week prior to the event.
