Sounds good Reddo........I didn't realise that Tathra was on just over the weekend period rather than travelling the whole week(haven't been up to date with the thread) Of course we don't mind taking our girl out of school for the odd day but generally not a week at a time.........plus there is already the VV Nats this year! But we don't care if we don't get home until Monday ;D What I meant by only 6-12 vans attending potential future outings during school holiday periods was that van parks can get quite full during these periods.........so with a smaller VV group we should still all fit in ok. Regarding the VV tow car.........we have only had it out twice in 12 months.......the only things that never go wrong have gone wrong So everytime we go away it seems to be with a "modernne" tow car cheers Adam

Hi Adam, we have 20 sites set aside for us at this stage, all close together so we can socialise as one big group. We just need the initial interested parties come up with the goods and book in, preferably soon if possible. I am on site 24 next to the reddotel! They will set more aside if/as we fill the initial lot. It is the weekend after the Oct long weekend so that main school rush is over. Basically the same weekend as this year was on the tour and in that instance space/numbers would have been no problem either. hope you can make it regards jenno

Hi Leigh, there was a lot of discussion about Tathra, but the assumption was that there was the usual two weeks between CoraLyn/Lardner park and Coledale, as has been the case for the last few years.But this year the first Sunday in October happens to be the 7th, leaving only one week between. So, as you say, bugger, but Vic.VVers can still make it to Coledale ;D ;D

Ok guys.. Just thought i would drop a link or 2 to the Tathra Thread.. For those of you that dont know why me and a few others are pushing to get a good roll up at Tathra van park .. I thought i might just revisit a few points on why you should make this weekend a "Must attend". Tathra van park is ran by the very popular member of This band en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ol%27_55His wife is a lovely lady ( starred on Ä country Practice )and they went out of thier way to make us feel welcome on the 2011 east coast spring tour... When we where leaving FrankyJHolden and his wife made an offer to put on a great night of entertainment .... and maybe .. even supply a few wood fired pizzas out of thier very own pizza cooker which is on the front right corner of the largest camp kitchen i have ever seen.. All we need for this to happen is to put 20 "van bums on seats"" the weekend before Coledale... There is plenty of time to consider annual leave arrangements .. and CONTACT THE PARK www.takeabreak.com.au/Tathra/SapphireCoast/Tathra-Beach-Tourist-Park.htm... and confirm your site booking. See previuos posts as to dates .. a few of us will be there on friday night... Also worth considering is the south east coast cruise /tour to Coledale during the following days after the weekend at Tathra up to Coledale staying at some really sweet coastal van parks and arriving wednesday arvo.. or thirstday ... ummm... Thursday for those wanting to take a more leisurely cruise... So....There it is Those of you that have been to vintage caravan events like Morgan /Coledale SLSC and My Gambier where Will and Lyn put on a real crowd pleasing night with their dou's... Will appreciate what we are trying to promote here... Its an oppurtunity not only to mix it with the rest of the vintage van crew ...and enjoy life in the parks and on the road But also a chance to see/hear a few legends in action ( a slight chance of getting Wilbur wild there as well... Good Sax ;D ;D Frank did mntion there is a couple of local musos that he often calls on as session musos to make up the numbers in the band.. so.. ifn ya thinkin its just FrankyJ up there singing.. ya wrong..._ Just need 20 vintage vans commited to coming along.. or maybe even 20 names stating they are with the vint van group and paying for a few nights in an onsite van /cabin... but HEY,, when ya rock n rollin ya dont wanna go home to a "Fixed Abode" Ol"55 was a band that got you up and bopping.. The vibes .. the goodtimes rock and roll that takes us all back to our "Happy Days"...50s 60s and 70s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ol%27_55#AlbumsBe there or Be square..... ;D Lines are open.. call em now... No . . wait until after 9.00am weekdays. Reddo

Hi All, From a confused Northern NSW member, who intended travelling down from here to Melbourne, see my Daughter & family for a couple of days, callinto see Kaybee & a couple of others, go to Cora Lynn, stay the weekend, travel in a small group to Tathra, stay the weekend, travel on Reddos Tour to Coledale, stay the weekend, travel to Newcastle, see another Daughter, then travel home to North Coast, I am now totally confused. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? From a simple exercise in allowing all of this to happen on consecutive weekends, IE Cora Lynn one weekend, Tathra the next, then Coledale the next, would someone please explain what is now proposed in simple language I can understand. Like proposed dates. Its a pretty big trip for Boots & I to make, but we liked the idea of a month on the road, & do what we planned. The way I read this (very confusing) thread, is that we cant do that now. Hard to remember the objective is to drain the swamp when your up to your arse in alligators. JBJ (who still wants to do the trip as originally planned)

Reddo ...actually nuthin'......the loosely planned Cora Lynn to Tathra tour has fallen in a heap because they are both on the same time , don't know why or how but the dates clash....sorry for getting your hopes up!

Hi Reddo ,
Thanks for that.
I just googled Cora Lynn. Its not easy to find the date for the 2012 show
Anyone know when its on??? (Hopefully end September??)
Now after reading Kaybees previous post I guess that Cora Lynn & Tathra are both planned for the same weekend.
We wouldnt even do that up here in Qld.
I guess I'll be reconsidering my trip over the next month or two. Its a hell of a long trip for us to not not be able to do what we had hoped.
JBJ

Yeah its a real bugger that they clash, but come on down to tathra anyway and then work nth to coledale. Some mexicans are cora lynned out and are still coming to tathra so change is as good as a holiday......and sure to be a top weekend if the original numbers keep up for it. getting like a broken record but....... huge camp kitchen so we can stay together as a group of an evening, entertainment by FJ and maybe wilbur too, Eden/tathra and surrounds are something else too see..... not to forget reddos musings;D jenno
