I 'll put my hand up to organise - a co-organiser would be welcome as this is my first VV run since the Gypsy is on the road.


There are alot of van parks to choose from so give me your feedback on any parks you have stayed at.

Hi Aquamum....
Thanks for volunteering to do some groundwork for the weekend at Forster.
As you say... there is a few parks in the area . Ideally the the one right in forster near the river would be the pick of the litter.. but.. from what i am hearing it is pretty much full all year round.. so.. we might have to consider something a bit out of town.
Also difficult getting the managers to box out 10 sites without some firm commitment from those attending.
Anyway... just do what ya can and come back to us here with the options.
Camping with Mustangpal ( cliff and Ingrid ) this weekend. Theyu mentioned that they might look into when and where up at Forster... Cliff is a bit crook so i think mthey will appreciate someone else doing the legwork .
Thanks again
Reddo

Hi Aquamum

Please put us down for a powered site, it's an area I've not stayed at before so we will have a couple of days either side too, the good side of retirement Look forward to it, especially as there is little chance of snow in Forster

Hi All, I have spoken to Forster Beach Holiday Park today & they have plenty of sites Available together & close to the amenties & BBQ's. The park is right in the town of Forster & you can walk to shops & cafes. There is a big shopping centre the other side of Forster about 3 klms away.
One side of the park faces the the Wallis lake & Marina side the other side is the main beach.
You can look up the park on the net & there is also a map of the park.
The site fees are $31 per night but if you stay more there is a 10% discount.
Iwill contact the local newspaper to see if they are interested in taking some photos while we are there as this is the home of the Sunliners.
The dates would need to be 19-20-21 July as the first two weekends are school holidays.
Hope to see you all there. We will probably stay for a week as it is a nice park & very central.
If interested I will put a block booking in place & you will need to let them know you are with the Vintage Vans to pay a deposit.
Let me know how many are interested.
Regards
Ingrid & Cliff

I've just booked in for the Christmas in July weekend. The "new" caravan has had it's first test run a week ago down at Nelligen and with a few minor touch ups it will be ready to go.

Hey Reddo
I hear you are in a bit of a squeeze this Xmas In July ;D
I'm glad you can make it to area 53 !!

[fuzzyfuso1945]

Hi Sandra, We were up at Foster two weeks ago & spoke to the Manager Chris, & as there are lots of sights available we can pay when we book in. Gai

[aquamum]

Thanks Gai

I was there myself last week & Chris confirmed that.

It's just nice if were are not all spread around the park ;D

[aquamum]

Hi Aquamum and other happy campers

I have just put an annual leave request in at work.
Should be OK...
I will probably get up to Forster a bit after lunch time Friday...
Just praying for a bit of good weather... has been "hit and miss" with the rain of late???

I suppose if it does rain..... I can close my eyes and pretend I am at Coledale ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Regards
Reddo
