  Hi All Received this e mail the other day from the CIAV 2014 is their 60th year and has asked if Vintagecaravans .com can help them celebrate this milestone They have also asked if any forum members could help at the Caravan Camping and Touring super show in March at the Caulfield Racecourse Maybe you could volunteer for a job while your wife/partner/friend was looking after your van on display The tour and display in the city NOW AT SOUTHBANK Saturday 22/2/2014 NOW SATURDAY 1st MARCH if interested in the display or the show at Caulfield or any inquires please post here or send me a P M At both events they would like vans open for display and set up in period items cheers f/f ;D ;D ;D ;D Hi Geoff, Further to our conversation, as you may be aware we are coming into our 60th Year for the Caravan Camping and Touring Supershow 6 ¡V 11 March 2014. We would like to have your Vintage Vans involved to help celebrate this event. On the first occasion we would like to hold a Vintage Van Run, through the city on Saturday 9.30am and finishing at Federation Square at 10.30am ¡V 1.00pm. Here we will place them all with the period cars. We are only looking at 5 vans and 5 cars. On this day we are trying to organise a band and we will also be selling raffle tickets for our caravan that we are raffling off for the Good Friday Appeal. Second one is for the Caravan Show: 6 ¡V 11 March 2014. I did state Friday ¡V Monday but if you are available for the 6 days that would be mostly appreciated. We were looking at 3 vans and 2 period cars. On each occasion it would be good for the vans to be dressed it is era. We are also looking for Volunteers for the show, to drive a golf buggy around the show, people to work in the VIP lounge, Gates and Parcel pickup. They will only be 4 hour shifts, uniform, food and beverage provided. Let me know if all the above is okay and we will start to lock things away Kind regards Tara Nestor Membership & Marketing Manager Caravan Industry Association Victoria

Hi Firefighter,
I might be able to do the parade on 22 February. Funnily enough it would be exactly 10 years since our van was last in a parade for the Melbourne caravan show!
One question - are they ok with a non-classic/period car for the parade, or do we need to have the full rig? I looked through the info but couldn't find the answer. (Sorry if it's there and I missed it.)

Don Ricardo G'day DR I think the CIAV would like a period vehicle.....BUT there will be a modern vehicle in the Parade towing a white box and selling raffle tickets for the caravan they are raffling for the Good Friday Appeal. The parade is all about the CIAV and this is 60 years since the 1st caravan show Yep bring the Vintage Don behind the modern Today the CIAV (Tara)told me they look at our forum and coming events. cheers Geoff |

Hi Geoff,
Martin and I are both interested in attending the Saturday parade. Please book us in for that one.
I will check my calendar but should be able to attend the Show on either Saturday or Monday (or both) with the Vagabond towing one (or both) of the vans. This is the long weekend and there are several things on.
Will confirm asap.
Leigh.

Hi Geoff,
Further to our conversation, as you may be aware we are coming into our 60th Year for the Caravan Camping and Touring Supershow 6 ¡V 11 March 2014. We would like to have your Vintage Vans involved to help celebrate this event.
On the first occasion we would like to hold a Vintage Van Run, through the city on Saturday 9.30am and finishing at Federation Square at 10.30am ¡V 1.00pm. Here we will place them all with the period cars. We are only looking at 5 vans and 5 cars. On this day we are trying to organise a band and we will also be selling raffle tickets for our caravan that we are raffling off for the Good Friday Appeal.
PLEASE NOTE....DISPLAY IS NOW AT SOUTHBANK FIRST .....THEN THE TOUR
Second one is for the Caravan Show: 6 ¡V 11 March 2014. I did state Friday ¡V Monday but if you are available for the 6 days that would be mostly appreciated. We were looking at 3 vans and 2 period cars. On each occasion it would be good for the vans to be dressed it is era.
We are also looking for Volunteers for the show, to drive a golf buggy around the show, people to work in the VIP lounge, Gates and Parcel pickup. They will only be 4 hour shifts, uniform, food and beverage provided.

Hi geoff,well what a day yesterday(sat)at southbank we all arived there around our alloted times and were parked as they wanted us, we had a good mix of vans ,boy prime position smack bang in the guts of it all, the foot traffic that passed by us, if we were counting we would have lost count after the first few thousand.This exposure for the vintage van movement was fantastic !!!!!.Don R supplied heaps of flyers about what we do and just about every one that left our vans had one in ther hand.I recon 90 percent of people asked that question--Do we use them--The cruise through the city was cool as well,it turned plenty of heads a bit over an hour it took and managed to keep together most of the time ,well lee and karen were led astray with there motor bike guide towards the end with a wrong turn but all ended good.It was so great being part of it. Doug & Vicki  Don R took heaps of pics so hopefully he will post some on the forum maybe  |

G'day seeshell,
Thanks for the photos of what looks to be a very good display of vintage caravans and 'stuff'..... I bet the organisers were happy with your efforts.
The type of comments you mentioned is what we always get at these displays, worth doing aye?
Cobber.
