Hi All,
Our annual get together is fast approaching and thought I should do a quick update. We all put down our deposits before we left last year so sites are all secure. There will be reminders about payments around 30 days before your date of arrival.
I have set up a Face Book page under Shellharbour Vintage Vans Shellharbour 11th - 18th October with info of local attractions. If you would like to join please send a request and I can sign you in.
I have also added info about a whale watching tour if anyone is interested. It leaves the new Shellharbour Marina and is one and a half hours long . It costs $74 per person but will be discounted to $65 if we get 20 people booked in.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone and meeting new people who have booked in.
If you haven't booked and would like to please call the park on 02 4295 1123
Jude

him ray well done, it looks very classy and as you said, it is reminiscent of "good old rubic'. what are you going to call it? maybe the "Bubblegum Bedouin". geoff 'n jude

thanks richard
i guess that just goes to show how often i went back to the website.
pity though, it had some good stuff on it, but that's life i suppose.
and as you say, we really do owe mark a lot for what he started and how he continues to support the hobby - thanks mark, you really did get a lot of people involved in vintage caravanning.

I think we have around 35 vans this year , I’m not really sure as some booked direct with the park. I’ll add them to my list when we all get to Shellharbour.
I had a couple of phone numbers for people I met at Murrurundi who were interested in joining us but unfortunately I can’t track them down . I apologise to these people as I don’t like being disorganised and I don’t like letting people down .
Please remember to call the park soon to pay for your sites
Thanks Jude and Geoff

Hi , time for an update . As most of the regulars attendees know we don’t organise any events while we are at Shellharbour except a sausage sizzle on the Saturday night . In previous years the caravan park have supplied the sausages , bread etc but the new managers haven’t committed yet. I am happy to get all the supplies if everyone is willing to throw in a few dollars . We can sort that out once we are all at Shellharbour .
There are quite a few places of interest around Shellharbour for those who haven’t been before or aren’t familiar with the area :
Hars Aviation Museum , Albion Park Australian Motolife Museum , Kembla Grange The Red Hot Sounds of Summer Tour will be at Kiama Showgrounds The Seaside Markets are advertised to be on that weekend , will confirm closer to the date . The villages of Berry , Gerringong, Robertson and Kiama are all close and the new Marina at Shellcove is open .
The caravan park have sent out emails re payments so please make sure you have paid in full at least a few days before you check in . Please call the park on 4295 1123 to arrange payment
See everyone soon
Jude & Geoff

Any clues on the manufacturer?
I reckon it's a roadmaster.

hi mike
it doesn't matter too much about anne whipping up a dessert, but she could whip up a big bowl of her even more famous mashed potato.

Hi Glen ,
Your name is on the list I received from the caravan park so you are booked in. When you get your email in mid July can you let them know how many days you will be there please . The FB page is called Shellharbour Vintage Vans 2022 and it is private but I think I will make it public as only people I am friends with can join or be invited 🤷🏻♀️

Tooleyau and Johhny and Annie,
the info re who had paid deposits was lost with all other info when the computer crashed . I am sure everyone I had on my list had paid deposits which I will confirm once the park gets back to me early this week . All I have at the moment is a list with names and site numbers and all the regulars are on that list . Will confirm once I get an email back

Shellharbour 12th - 19th October 2022Hi all, We had a computer crash and I lost all the info for Shellharbour and I finally spoke to the park today to catch up . All sites that paid a deposit last year are safely booked , I am waiting for the park to confirm names and site numbers . The park said they will be updating pricing after the end of June and will email everyone to ask for part payment in July . When you ring to make payment could you please also let the park know how many nights you will be staying as all sites are usually booked Wednesday to Wednesday. I started a FaceBook Private Group today to maybe make it easier to communicate It is called Shellharbour Vintage Vans 2022 , I have sent invites to people I am friends with on FB and members can invite friends to join . More info as I gather it Jude & Geoff

hi nic
if they haven't been used for a long while, quite often the bleeder valves corrode and the hole becomes blocked - this can happen at either end of the bleeder valve.
remove them and clean them out if necessary or better still, replace them with new ones.
