2014 Inverell Caravan & Camping Expo

[Deleted]

Hi all

I received a phone call from Heath Roberts, from the Inverell Rugby Club Inc, inviting us to display our vintage vans and tow cars at the 2014 Northern Inland 4x4, Fishing, Caravan and Camping Expo on 29-30 November 2014. He is hoping to get a minimum of 12 vintage vans to attend the event but can accommodate up to 15 or 20.

It is to be held at the Inverell Rugby Club Playing Fields and Heath has assured me that there will be ample power, toilet and shower facilities available to us via the clubhouse and change rooms.

I understand that this event is more than 12 months away, but this will give all our members and hopefully members from the SEQ Mob, an opportunity to plan ahead and help make this event a huge success.

More details about arrival/departure dates will be available as we get closer to the event.

Please add your name to this thread if you are interested in attending the expo so we can keep Heath updated about our numbers.

hi all

i was asked over the weekend whether or not this event was still going ahead and i'm pleased to say that when we got back from lane cove, there was an email from heath asking for an update on who was attending the weekend.

in the email, he mentioned that there is almost twice as many exhibitors as there was last year, so it's seems that it's going to be a pretty good show.

i've replied to his email and told him what our current numbers are and have asked him to let us know what the final arrangements will be for arrivals/departures, showers, toilets etc and will post that info when it arrives.

as an aside, the moderator who was "overseeing" this event for you no longer exists so if any extra members decide to attend, please leave a post on this thread.

the list of attendees in the first post can't be updated by him any-more, so if you want to know who's going, you'll probably need to look through all the posts.

I'm very sad to hear that the moderator previously overseeing this event has been "retired".

This event is still in my diary and I hope that those who mentioned an interest earlier in this thread are still going, and that more VVers will join us !!

[mustangpall]

Hi Geoff Fuzzy Fuso Masso & Mustangpall will still be on the list thanks.

Hi all I'm in Campberdown, in western Victoria. Does anyone have any idea how long it would take me to get to this event in Inverell? TYI

[griffin]

Hi stacypink1

Just Google "distance calculator" and take your pick, most sites will give you the distance, maps and estimated times.

[Geoff & Jude]

hi staceyp

it's about 1500km and 16 or so hours drive (plus breaks and sleepover if necessary)

hi all

heath emailed me today to see how things were going at our end for the expo in november.

i replied to let him know the numbers at this stage, so if you're thinking of going and haven't added your name to the list, please let me know so they can include your site when arranging the weekend.

here's the latest brochure for the event. (note that they have added the vintage caravan display to the flyer).

Thank you Geoff n Jude and George Griffin
Looks like it will take me 3 days to get there!
Might give it a miss this time. Let me know of other trips, maybe a bit closer. Cheers & enjoy your trip Stacy

[boblor]

I might try and fit this event in, if i am still fit enough to take part. It will give me a chance to update my Volvo literature collecion I placed in the Transport Museum in 2006. This Museum is worth a look for those attending the w/e.
Cheers boblor

[Geoff & Jude]

hi bob

i'll add you to the list, you can let me know later if things change, but hopefully not.

geoff 'n jude

the fact of the matter is that i can't add you to the actual list because only an administrator or conti can do that and conti was lost forever in the recent reshuffle (RIP) - maybe one of those overpaid moderators that cobber keeps mentioning can do that for me.

[mustangpall]

Have we any more news on this event? The three Musketeers from Newcastle are still planning on going & we also have some friends that would like to join us when we get there.
Is there a contact number we can ring?

hi all

just thought i'd give this a bit of a bump to see if anybody else is interested in joining the group that's already shown interest in the event.

leave a post on this thread if you want to come along.
