Bridgewater 2024 3rd weekend in Feb.

[bert66]

Some things stay the same and some things change.

There is change in the wind.🌪🌬
We will all be back at Bridgewater again in 2024 on the 3rd weekend in Feb. but we have decided to change it up a little.

We have decided to give trivia a break and replace Saturday night entertainment at the Bridgewater Hotel with a different concept…..

Be afraid, be very afraid……or be BOGAN… bring your mullet 🐟🧔🏽‍♀️

Look out …it’s BB at the BH

🤘🏼🦠🎉❤️🔜 1️⃣6️⃣✔️2️⃣✔️2️⃣4️⃣

Are we going back in time to 2014?

Dusting off the mullet in preparation...

Sweet 16 or maybe 🦆🦆 - with an Oi Oi Oi!
C’arn Straya get excited.
2024 Bridgewater goes back in time, or maybe just embraces a timeless Aussie Kulcha.

Did we get a payment date for Bridgewater 2024. There was some confusion some time ago via email?

[bert66]

Hey, nice to hear from you Coronet and looking forward to Bridgewater in Feb. again. There was some confusion about deposit dates - new manager and new system 😩
Rhonda and Darren are still there so we will be well looked after again on the weekend. I thin maybe the 17 Nov is the date but best get in early or ring them.
Bring your best Bogan for Bingo on Sat. Night……..

[bert66]

It’s time to start preparing for Bridgewater again - not too far away now.
If you haven’t paid your deposit then you need to contact the CV Park asap and let them know if you are going otherwise your site will be reallocated. There are some available spots due to cancellations so if you know anyone that may want to attend then have them contact the Park.
A reminder for Saturday night - it will be BINGO for Bogans so time to let your inner Bogan shine. Great prizes, half time raffle of donated things ( from you ) and a lot of fun, prizes, bogan trivia and bingo. Dress up, find the moccies, and wash that mullet!
100% fun, 110% Bogan.
No need to book at the pub.

Don’t forget that Saturday morning is “Out of your Garage” Garage Sales. Set up a stall outside your van and bring some things you want to get out of the garage. Or browse to buy that thing that has been in someone else’s garage that you really really need. We will be having a “ what’s the mystery object” event this year. have you found/own a thing that no-one else will be able to identify? A WTF is that, sort of thing……Bring it along - prizes for the objects that no-one can identify and prizes for those who can identify objects first.
🙄🤷🏾‍♂️🫦🦄

A brief schedule of arranged things to do if you want to join in:

Friday - BYO BBQ at camp kitchen - with local muso’s to keep you entertained. Bring food, a gold coin donation and a chair.

There will be a vintage coffee van set up near the Camp Kitchen Friday arvo and Saturday and Sunday morning - a short walk for a caffeine fix ! Thanks to Dazzlin Coffee - big effort from them to be there.

Saturday morning - “Out of your Garage”, Garage sales - have a stall at your site if you want to bring things to sell or just browse and buy. Maybe home made produce, crafts and any other goodies as well as ‘secondhand’ stuff. Bring along a mystery item that no-one can identify.

Otherwise relax, catch up with friends and check out the vintage vans.

Saturday 11am - Car Cruise and lunch
Car cruise to Inglewood and lunch at the local pub if you wish. Have a look at the vintage and collectables shops while you are there. Classic cars and any other cars more than welcome to join in. Just tag along as we drive around the caravan park.

Friday and Saturday - til 4 - cellar door at Water Wheel Winery in Bridgewater.

Given it’s going to be a bit hot ( but not as hot as last year!) maybe a swim at the caravan park or otherwise at the Loddon weir - downstream from the Park just past the Bridgey pub and walking distance from the Caravan Park. Bring your togs.

All day Saturday ( and Sunday ) Maldon antiques and collectables fair - a little further afield.

Saturday night- Dinner and BINGO for BOGANS in the beer garden at the Bridgewater on Loddon Pub. Let your hair down and your inner Bogan shine. No need to organise a team - it’s every bogan for themselves. Get the flannie out, wash the mullet and dress up for great prizes, bingo and games. 100% fun, 110% Bogan.
Dinner from 6 - eyes down at 7 sharp.
There will be the usual Raffle at half time so donations for same always very welcome. We don’t ask much of you for the weekend but a donation for the raffle is appreciated. Drop them in at our site. Proceeds go to your ‘arrival gift’ next year.
No need to book with the Pub.

Sunday -relax or visit country markets at Talbot, Castlemaine Bazaar or Bendigo Showgrounds.
Afternoon music from the guys again at the CP if you just want to relax at home base.

A reminder, as ever - this is not a public event, it is not a caravan show/exhibition - guests and visitors of attendees are required to check in at the office. Given it’s for Vintage Vans ( that’s the whole idea really), it will not be possible to accommodate post 1980 vans ( give or take a year or two ) at the CV Park this weekend.
