Hi Mark. I'm Ron Carroll and I was speaking to you earlier tonight about
our Old Truck and Machinery Show at Cleveland on the 23rd and 24th
August 2008. Cleveland is located approx 15 km's from Brisbane in the
Bayside area of the Redland Shire. Cleveland has a lot to offer the
tourist and I'm sure any of your members that visit will not be
disappointed. About our show. This will be our 15th. show and is to be
held held in the Cleveland Showgrounds on the weekend of the 23rd and 24
th August 2008. We usually have up to 200 old trucks, cars, tractors and
buses etc over the week-end and we thought it would be great to have any
of your members with old caravans, if they are in the area, come along
and join us. The ground are huge so space is not a problem. Anyone who
comes and want to camp overnight could ring me for more details. The
grounds are located in long Street and anyone wanting more info can
contact me at 0402234657 or [e-mail] and I will be only to
happy to help. Our clubs' website is www.hcvaq.com. Hope to hear from
you, regards Ron

Hi Mark

Here is the copy of the letter as per our phone conversations re RockStock Helidon in September.

24th July 2008

We are writing to you regarding the possibility of your club providing a static display for
‘RockStock 2008’, to be held at Helidon on Sunday 7th September 2008.

⇒ “What is RockStock 2008?”
Together for the first time, at one venue and on one day, the following headline acts:
• THE DELLTONES (50th Anniversary Bopa Doo Wop Tour)
• NORMIE ROWE
• LITTLE PATTIE
• SIX O’CLOCK ROCK JOHNNY O'KEEFE TRIBUTE with Barry Larter
• TONY WORSLEY (Australia’s Beatle)
• THE COUNTDOWNS (Australia’s longest running Rock-n-Roll band)
The compare for this exciting line-up of artists will be JOHNNY YOUNG from TVs
‘Young Talent Time’.
⇒ “Why RockStock?”
The event is being organised by people in this area who aim to put the Helidon area ‘on the
map’. It will celebrate the important contribution of this locality to all that is Australian. This
includes our culture, landmarks, Helidon Sandstone, Helidon Spa Water and it’s history.
The inaugural RockStock 2008 will specifically celebrate the incredible musical
entertainment that took place in the 1960s and 70s at the Helidon Spa Park , which was
known as the “Gold Coast” of Toowoomba. Mineral spa baths, water-skiing, swimming in
the southern hemisphere’s largest swimming pool, and the sizzling array of live music from
The Delltones, The BeeGees, Normie Rowe and many others, drew people from miles
around.
The Legends Return to Helidon
⇒ “Why do we want your cars at RockStock 2008?”
The whole festival will have a 50’s and 60’s feel to it, from the food “Diners”
and the fashions of that era, to the Rock’n’Roll Dance Workshop. There will
be an Amusement Land section for the young and the young at heart and we think a display
of classic cars, such as your members treasure, will add that ‘something special’ to the event
and help to set the atmosphere.
You will appreciate the 7th September is fast approaching and as we are inviting a number of
clubs - we are expecting at least 30 show cars to participate - we would like to confirm your
club’s attendance as soon as possible. Please contact myself directly on 0407 007 737 or
email [e-mail]. Could you also email through a photo of the vehicle/s attending.
Please find enclosed an A4 flyer for RockStock 2008 as well as some smaller flyers that could
be passed on to interested members, friends or relatives.
Yours sincerely,
Brian

RockStock 2008 Co-ordinator

Dear Mark
Saw your site recently on a TV program and thought this may interest you.
The Queensland Caravan Club is celebrating it's 60th Anniversary next year and as part of the Sub-Committee formed to organize the celebrations we thought your Vintage Caravan Group may be interested in participating at our official Birthday Rally.
Our very first rally in May 1949 was police escorted from Chermside Brisbane to the rally site at Deception Bay about 40klms with under 20 vans attending.
The club now has 120 van families and average 50 vans at our monthly meets with upwards of 75/80 vans for special occasions.
Is there a contact person here in Queensland?
Looking forward to your reply.

G'day mark
I would be happy to make contact with these groups on behalf of vintage-vans.
Phone number 0738189551 or 0407375941 Regards David dosse.

hi All,

The choice of David dosse as a SE Qld representative would be a good one.

With the first event, its on the same weekend as our Pottsville event, so its unlikely many would try to get to both functions.

We're probably interested in the other 2, but definitely the rockstock 2008 one.

I know its straight after pottsville, but it sounds like a great event.

onya Dosse - keep the flag flying. ;D

flag?? what flag??

just keep doin' it.

Unfortunately the Rockstock event clashes with the big GM day here on the Sunny Coast

Onya for taking on the QLD coordinator roll Dave,....yell out if you need a hand with anything .

[Roehm3108]

These requests quite probably came as a result of a segment on the Great South East Show on Channel 7 last Sunday - 20th July, when Swellwilly and I took our vans to Beachmere back in June. Is there anybody in Qld who happened to have recorded that show? Would love to see it myself, as I can't get Free to Air TV here, nor did we have any idea on which night it was being shown to organise a viewing.
