RICHARD'S BASS BAG TOURS *SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*

"Hello, firstly let me apologize (sic) for the changes to Richard's Bass Bag Tours itinerary. I blame Pope Francis, Robert's god and the Catholic Church for their bringing about the inclement weather."

- Evil Doctor Richard.

Thanks Evil, Richard appreciates that. He's asked me to promulgate this important message. This is because:

1. Richard doesn't know any big words that would give an important message sufficient gravitas
2. He needs to use a medium that will be far more reaching than his own blog.

RICHARD'S BASS BAG TOURS *SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*

Potential customers will have noticed the severe weather event that has been battering Wellington over the last couple of days. Some roading has been damaged and other routes WHERE RICHARD'S BASS BAG TOURS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO OPERATE have restricted access. As a result we have had to make some changes as indicated here:

 

• The famous visit to the house in Berhampore that Shelley's uncle and aunty nearly bought in the 1960s has been postponed to a later date.
• The visit to Miramar and WETA Workshops has been postponed until it is deemed safe to drive along Great Harbour Way Te Aranui O Poneke.
• The lunch visit to Scorch O Rama in Karaka Bay has been permanently discontinued as it is uncertain if Scorch O Rama has been washed away or not.
• All trips to Days Bay and Eastbourne have been postponed. The road has been washed way and is now too dangerous to navigate. There are rumours of stranded commercial cleaners holding up travellers with demands for food and assistance. The area is best avoided.
• The special trip to Tawa to visit Shelley's place of work has been postponed pending a review. Some negative online posting of previous visits to this venue has unfortunately led to a decline in interest.

We have some good news. 

• All visits to Wainouiomata are still in place.
• The celebrated shopping excursion to Wellington Rockshop in Cuba Street has been expanded to include a double bass performance. No need to thank us.
• The trip to the New Zealand Portrait Gallery on Queens Wharf will still be in place. As usual we will park up Majoribanks Street, walk down to Courtenay Place and catch a bus to Customhouse Quay. No need to thank us.
• We have added a feature: Visits to all of Robert's previous residences. This will take in Wainouiomata (a return visit), Lower Hutt and Petone. No need to thank us.

We here at RICHARD'S BASS BAG TOURS hope to see you real soon and remember, "Be careful out there".
