;D ;D ;D ;D Ok .. we had a full shop of 15 yesterday arvo.. Since then we have had a few more "expressions of interest" ... A member from down south of the border ( surprise ) Geoff and Jude J-rod signing up. I will ring val at Katoomba today and see if i can stretch the sites to 20. Bloody difficult when ya first approach the van park managers and try and give em an idea of numbers . Leave it too late.. ya dont get in at all Organise it too early and give em a rough estimate.. also difficult because we arent a club and we dont know how many are likely to sign up for the event... especially in the depths of winter .. in one of the coldest places in australia.... You guys have certainly confirmed my belief... " we are all vintage caravan nutcases" ;D.. Meant in the nicest way guys. Stay tuned for an update Reddo

;D ;D ;D ;D Ken .. your fridge is colder than mine ... and a better class of top shelf drinks too might i add. I have just got off the "dog and bone" to Katoomba V.V Central. We are now sweet up to 20 vans. The managers are of the same philosphy as me.. 20 booked sites is better than an empty park waiting for people to just turn up.... So .... "move to the back of the bus please... room for a few more here." Katoomba double decker van park . Licensed to carry 58 seated 34 standing Reddo

Hi Reddo, Do you still have 2 sites left for xmas in July? We may as well freeze along with everyone else. What else would you do but go camping in the middle of winter. will stock up with plenty of amber liquids to warm up insides. Cliff & Ingrid

Hi Cliff Mate i am sure we can fit you in up there....... somewhere . Only thing that concerns me is that you might end up taking up a site that someone in the first 20 who have emailed that they are coming is entitled to.. Not being nasty here mate .. just feel that if someone rocks up on friday night or saturday that has committed to the weekend months ago .. and then find that they cant get a spot .. Weeeeeelll i reckon they might be a bit cheesed off. Having said that i do remember Val saying she would rather have the park full of vintage vans than have the place full of feral back packers wrecking and stealing everything. Hows about you give em a ring and let em know we have 20 vintage vans coming.. and is there room for 2 more .. if the reply is favorable well then bung your name on 2 sites that havent already been allocated to the vintage van group.... all should be cool Reddo

Hey Reddo Mrs Claus would like to know whether she should create one of her world famous christmas puddings (with hot custard) for the group to enjoy or are we intending to go somewhere on the Sat night. This pudding apparently cannot be rushed and just like me needs a bit of age to be at its best. Oh! and do I need to bring my Santa suit.??

Hi Ken, I think Reddo is out of town rescuing another van. I'm sure he will let you know when he gets back. Might need the Santa Suit to keep warm , I might have to wear two dressing gowns!!!! Jude & Geoff

Hi Ken Tell mrs Koala... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............yes please. The pudding sounds great. Flushed down with a strong beverage afterwards I had a phone convo with Mustangpal.. Cliff the other arvo. apparently the caretaker wants a list of names of those attending.. as i dont want to go through the process of asking everyone to reply via pm with your "real" names i will simply "cut and paste" and email the list of names i have back on page one to them. So...when ya rock up to reception, just quote your sign on name that you use here... That should confuse the crap out of them ;D ;D ;D Added info by modifying this post after emailing list of oddball names to Katfalls@tpg.. Val replied with this... "THANKS THAT’S GREAT, LOVE THE NAMES, MY KEN CALLS ME VIXEN VALLY SO THAT’S MY ONE FOR THE LIST LOL. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR ARRIVEL. I HOPE IT’S A GREAT WEEKEND FOR ALL, .VALLY Reddo
