Im not sure what everyone else thinks, but I reckon Woodies would be a good place to run the AKL event for the weekend. The forecast is for light to moderate seabreezes, and woodies is probably the best local place if the wind is light. Its a great place that everyone would enjoy without the chop.

Yeah, woodies would be great. However, I don't think it is going to be moved as its a central location for people to get to.
