Hi All  I mentioned under.. " NSW runs and events" that we where open to finding a new venue foi this years ""NSW XMAS IN JULY"...  Given that we have more or less done Katoomba ( 3 times ) and Blackheath (once).I reckon we are due for a change .. down south. One forum member mentioned Dalgety..I really love that part of the world .. but we might have trouble getting people to go the miles to get there for a weekend. So... with the offer of help from long time member "FC Driver " Bruce who is a resident in Moss vale .. i am proposing a vintage van Christmas in July weekend at the moss vale caravan park on the first weekend in July ......as is tradition for us... and.. dodges the school hols  Now i know everyone is focussed on the vintage caravan nationals in April/May this year ... but ya need to tell yaself.. "I am gunna be on a high after Cowra.. why not keep the enthusiasm rolling and head off to Moss Vale for a curtain call with the rest of the van crew in JulY  "" I am more than Happy to work with " FC Driver" and help organise yet another action packed.. blockbuster..do all.. do nothing..catch up..great weekend away in the "southern High country" Obviuosly if someone comes up with a suggestion that agreed on by the masses to be better than what we are proposing ... then we will head off in that direction...... just dont go to sleep this year and miss out on opportunitys like this to .. "Tow and Go and put a smile on your dial"" Regards The forever optomistic .. Reddo |

Hi Guys,
Im going so we better start getting this thing organised.
What park are we going to and what is the date.
I know I spoke to some people at Cowra about going and they said its too cold.Hey where not in a tent and we are going to have 240v for a heater.How spoilt is that.
Lets get some numbers happening.
Cheers Dave

That's the go Dave, I will talk to the park and put up its details but agreed, in the meantime we need an idea on numbers. So, given its ON for the weekend 7th/8th July as Reddo first suggested....who else is up for this one? If we can survive Katoomba, Moss Vale will be almost tropical ;D Its' always been a top weekend jenno |

Just a bit of info....... it will be at the Moss Vale village caravan park located 1k from centre of the village on the weekend of 7th/8th july.
If you check it out on the net you'll find it is a nice looking park with plenty of powered sites.
I suggest we run with this thread for the next 2 weeks and encourage those who may attend to notify us on the thread or by PM and start doing our bookings then. Not a lot of point otherwise if there is only 2 or 3 attendees

Hi All,
I grew up in Moss Vale, 576 main street, & lived there until I was 17.
Its bloody cold in winter. I did a paper run as a kid, & from memory it snowed every couple of years. Nothing real heavy, but enough to freeze you in the mornings.
Where the caravan park is used to be a dairy farm that we helped with milking, & it wasnt far from where I grew up in the main street, near the corner of Spring street.
Lots of memories, but too bloody cold to visit in winter.

Hi All
Sorry i wont be attending this one.
Too much happening at the momnent.
Trying to reign in some of the weekends i usually have away with the vint van mob .
Bit going on with the bike club and tying to keep up appearances with them....... you think its gunna be cold in a van at Moss vale try riding a motorbike up around the coalfields in winter time ??
I strongly feel that the wekend should still go ahead ... ya dont need a stack of people and vans attending to have a good time... we have proven that time and time again..
Have fun.
Regards
Reddo

Reddo any idea of numbers yet and can I book a cabin tonight is "Miss Merle" is not finished yet? Yo... going on pledges from previous posts ... including myself and aquamum stating that she will be staying in a cabin if her van isnt finshed....... the total is 5 so far. Just ring and book a cabin Sandra. We dont do any group booking via the forum. Its just a matter of each individual ringing the park and saying what nights they want to book in for... If you end up towing your van ask for a site with the vintage caravan group. That is usually the plan. Just had a look at the park website... usual story. .. Open air camp kitchen.  Gunna be cool... but we have done this sort of thing before. We usually con the manager into lending us a gas space heater or 2 . As well as wrapping the entire camp cooking area up in bratice to keep the warm in... ;D Cant think of any alternatives other than maybe asking the parrots to move over so we can all get up on the perches in that little bird avairy for the night... ;D I think Col and Sue mentioned to me at Cowra that they would be coming to Moss vale too?? Maurie and Kate ... You guys coming along?? What about the Cobbers.. probably the closest forum members to Moss vale.... ? Cheers Reddo |
