Hi All Well it's 1.00pm and the park is deserted of vintage vans, except for Don/Jane and myself (Di and Phil still doing a slow pack up). What a great w/e we all had with 21 vans attending, the weather could have been a little warmer, but the folks kept warm with music and dancing. We discovered we have some nice dancers amounst us, especially three young blokes carrying on late afternoon yesterday skantly dressed. Another w/e of good fun with every one joining in, including some new followers with surf boards in tow,- welcome girls look forward to seeing you at Canungra. This location lends itself to further visits, perhaps Christmas in July , management appear to be keen for us to re-visit down the track. Looking forward to our next meet. Cheers boblor

Hi guys. a big thank you to the organisers of this, the best weekend we have had in a long time! We didn,t get a photo all weekend as we were laughing too much the whole time. We have to send a small apology for our Dookie Van Dog "humping" everything in sight. We are blaming it on the 3 men in grass skirts!
Many thanks, "the Woody's"

How good was the week-end at Ballina .......I just have to say a big thank you to everybody who attended ....it was the best birthday ever and a special thanks to Cathie for all she did, and then.... well it just seems so right to have Vintage caravans and grown men in grass skirts together at the same venue...who would have guessed. Thanks Clyde, Earlee and Trev for your efforts...you were a hoot. Loved the Birthday card Mark (King Woody) Also, Ilse and I would like to congratulate Earlee & Earlee Bird on their recent engagement. Looking forward to Canungra. dosse

Hi all
Thanks for the thanks but no thanks needed, everyone made a fantastic weekend happen by being there, so I've passed on thanks to staff at the caravan park for not throwing us all out!!!!
No seriously, management said if we came back again, they would organise a whole retro festival for us next time! But we've already got hula girls, cocktails, boom box disco supremo, what more do we need?
Birthdays, engagements, wonder what's next?
In the middle of all that frivolity, we really did sit down & work out some options for the Tenterfield run in 2013. So we lot in SEQ are not just all play & no work, ya know! Will PM you soon Reddo, I'm still in recovery mode!

Hi all, Wow what a great weekend. We had sooooooooooooooo much fun and lots of laughs when catching up with everyone. Even though we also managed to have some rest and relaxation time - we have come home exhausted. I'm finding it very hard to get back into work mode Looking forward to Canungra in a few weeks time. Regards Di & Paul

Great to see the SEQ mob living up to their disreputable reputation - almost makes me regret leave that state (but not quite!) Happy birthday to you dosse and congratulations to you earlee. Good to see earleebird has made an honest man out of you. Does that mean she will always be there to lift you up when you fall off your chair ;D ;D ;D ;D Some really great pics everyone. Sutcac, i'm really getting worried about you - glad that Barb's there to continue wearing the pants in the family Ray
