Just an update

Post by WANTSOM »

OK some work has been done on this.

Originally I was thinking Ballarat area as it had Winton close by, plus the driver training centre nearby at Shepparton and was reasonably central. BUT ... there are issues with use and hire of the facilities ie we need to be a CAMS registered car club for insurance purposes. No way around that. Plus facility hire is majorly expensive.

So second choice was going to be around Albury/Wodonga and cut the driving/circuit stuff out - just cruise and show n shine with a dinner on the Saturday night. That was progressing and I got some info on accomodation rates etc and was starting to pencil in a likely date towards the end of March to early April.

Then a month or so ago Marie and I find out we have a baby on the way and its due in late April. So that makes those dates a bit unlikely, at least for us.

So if this gathering is going to happen its likely to be late February or later in the year and a real simple one as I/we obviously have a number of things to attend to between now and April.

If some local people down that way have any suggestions for a weekend/location let me know. Also any help that people can offer will be great.

Cheers
Greg

Congrats on the baby, WANTSOM and GOTSOM
If we still wanted to use the Winton track, we can time it to co-incide with one of their open track days, i think it's only like 20 bucks to use the track then, we'd just have to share with some other cars though.

Heres an idea for the WA Crew...

All throw $100 at a van, or something, bit for fuel money - cruise over there and hope the poor fkr makes it back?

edit: perhaps we can get a non-drinker to drive there, so the passengers can drink bulk piss on the way over??? :beer

A track day dedicated to Starions would definately make the Trip worthwhile.....if it has to be late next year, that is fine by me.
Computer games don't affect kids I mean if PacMan affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music :D

I've been ponderiing the idea of a trip to Australia for some time now.

The more notice I have the better for lanning purposes.
And sorry but I will NOT be able to take my widebody to the meet :D
