Hi Terry,

I have asked the organiser if camping is available. He is going to run it by the committee and let me know. So as soon as I know i'll post the answer on here.

Thanks

Monica

If you need anyone to talk to organisers we live in Coal Point Toronto opposite Rathmines we have taken our vans over for display several times. Happy to help out. Cliff & Ingrid 0417446607

Hi Cliff and Ingrid,

I did follow up on Facebook regarding the possibility of vans camping overnight and received the following response:

"I am waiting a response from the festival committee, how many van numbers would we expect may want to stay overnight?"

At this stage, it seems that just me and terry knight have expressed an interest in attending.

Is this somethingt that you are interested in attending again Cliff and Ingrid.

At this stage now, we are considering attending the Shellharbour event which is being held on the same weekend, so not sure where we will end up that weekend at this stage.

Hi Monica,

Shellharbour is a week earlier this year, details are in runs and events. This means you can attend both events if you choose to 😄

Regards Jude and Geoff

[BlueBird]

Thanks Geoff and Jude for picking that up.
For some reason I had Shellharbour in my diary twice ??
Anyways all fixed now.


I have just received a response from Daniel on behalf of the show. He says that the committee have decided to allow the Vintage Vans to stay overnight. He's just asked that closer to the day that we let them know his many to expect so they can work out the best place to set up.

So if you're interested in attending and/or camping there on the Saturday night, please let me know.

Thanks, Monica 😄

Hi Jane and Justin,

Not long now til this event is on.

Are you still interested in attending? If so are you planning on traveling up on the day or the day before and staying overnight?

Shaun and I are not positive on our plans yet, but just thought I'd touch base and let the organiser know of numbers.


is anyone else interested in attending this event?

Thanks

Monica

I feel the same way about black & white chequred floors in classics! The show and shine scene is interesting as many create what they want to be enjoyed by all. A far cry from my days of concourse critique where an original rusted heap would beat a re spray for the trophy.
In 2016 and beyond, participation and fun seem to be the go, especially in a scene with no formal guidlines. 
Imagine straying away from clean original designed external lines, on a vintage, to fit modern must haves... like a tackle box and spare wheel secured safely and in ergonomic reach if required?
