Hi all Rikki from South Ballina Caravan Park has sent me an email about Xmas in July. It sounds like a pretty good deal to me, but I know that it clashes with 'Raisin Hell in Maidenwell' that Doug suggested as an event. I'm not real sure where Maidenwell is, but maybe it's near Kingaroy which is too far for us to go for a weekend & we're not into hot rods anyway. I haven't asked Rikki as yet if this weekend date can be changed to another date, but if people are interested in Xmas in July on this or another date, let us all know. OK? smiles CHRISTMAS IN JULY – HO HO HO! We are putting on a very special Christmas in July event and would like to invite the Vintage Vanners along. Do you think your group would like to attend? On the 5th and 6th of July, we will be hanging the yule and decking the halls. PACKAGE FOR VINTAGE VANNERS:-2 nights accommodation, plus a wickedly wonderful roast Turkey dinner and entertainment on Saturday night for just $60 a couple. You will think all your Christmases have come at once with this great special. Extra guests welcome at just $30 per person for the weekend. To proceed with your booking could you ring us on 0266863347 or alternatively, you may pay online through our secure encrypted web portal at www.ballinabeachvillage.com.au/book-online. You can also pay by direct deposit. Please let us know if there is any thing else we can do for you.We look forward to having you with us.

That makes 2 vans then! Bee utty! Anyone against all of us camping close to that Gazebo/Dance Party/"Girls in Grass Skirts" shelter again? Good that's settled then! I'm gonna get bossy here & say, let's do a Friday nite fire thingy possibly close to that gazebo place. That way we can keep warm near the fire, cook dinner (camp oven dinner?  ) then put all our tables together in the gazebo to eat dinner before having a dance or ten! We'll bring firewood. I think you can hire braziers or bring your own, so if someone has a big brazier, please bring it. Rob thinks SBC/Park have the 44gal drums cut in half lengthwise as braziers, so they should be pretty good. i'm sure we can dig a bare spot for camp ovens then replace turf later. Anyway, I don't think it'll matter if 5 vans or 25 vans come, it'll be a good event. Don't forget you guys, if the date don't suit, post quick so I can contact Rikki asap. smiles |

I'd like to go but want to go to Maidenwell this year - if it suits a date change would be good!
Cheers

Ditto what Cruisindoug said. Only for us the 20/21 July is only free weekend - if we miss out this year - maybe next year?

Hi Doug & linpet
Yes & we'd love you to come as well!
I just rang SB C/P & seems as tho they've sent out this invite to a couple of other groups as well so it's probably not going to be possible to change dates now. Sorry about that!
Hi all
We've booked & paid so get in quick to be close to the Gazebo & the blue amenities block!
Cheers

Hi Smiles
Could you please confirm that the Xmas dinner is on Saturday night, as I have been informed it is planned by Rikki for Friday night. Saturday is entertainment and dinner at the restuarant and we pay for our meal.
Cheers boblor

Hi Bob
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner on this...we've been having really poor internet reception since the big storm last weekend.
I contacted Rikki & you're partly right. The Xmas dinner has been shifted to the Friday night as the entertainer wasn't able to do our Xmas gig on the Saturday night.
So looking on the bright side, it means we have Xmas dinner & entertainment all lined up for us on the Friday nite when we arrive. Everyone will have paid for 2 nights plus dinner & entertainment so all will be there for Friday night anyway!
That leaves us all day Saturday to put a communal dinner together ourselves, if that's what we want? Whether it's a camp oven event or whatever! Sounds good to me as we don't need to go back to their restaurant for a 2nd night!
Cathie

Hi all
I just phoned C/Park & xmas dinner is still on the Friday night at 6pm in the restaurant. It's BYO or licenced.
They've put us on sites around the gazebo we had last time we were there.
They hire braziers for $10/night, firewood is $15 per load. Might be a bit tricky having a camp oven in a brazier so dinner in the camp kitchen on the Saturday night? Perhaps someone might even have a brazier or a pig to bring along?
