Hi all Received this message: Hi Smiles, I did attend one of the times you were at Canungra when my folks had their Don Cadet. [Parents still here, van has gone though ] I now run a national RV club for families called Kids iN Tow www.kids-in-tow.comOur Gold Coast group are having our Xmas IN July muster on the same weekend at Canungra. I believe we are going to be placed out in the arena area. If the weather is fine, I'll will be putting on an outdoor movie for the kids. I just wanted to let you know if you have any kids in your group, they are welcome to bring a chair and join us. Bye for now, Colin Hopgood Ph 0428 240 822 kit@australiancaravanclub.com.au

Hi Kerrie & Bruce
You're on the list!
Event is at Canungra Showgrounds. It's well signposted with access roads either end of Canungra which is small village. $22 per night for 2 people.
The VV site won't let me login on my phone any more, so I have to do it on my laptop, which means most of the time I'm reading the posts but can' t reply easily, so YES I'm still here!
Cathie

Molly on SEQ site asked whether we want to have a Secret Santa. There was also talk about having a Swap Table on Sat arvo or a Bring & Sell. How does everyone feel about this? Do we want any of these? I know in the past, people have asked that if we decide to do a Present Swap, that it be only an item that is vintage, as some people were disappointed that they'd brought along a vintage item only to then receive a very non-vintage item!
So let's know your thoughtssss!!!!!

Hi Guys n Gals
We're at about 39 vans now, so I had a quick chat to Showground Caretaker. He says we should all be able to squeeze most of the vans into the usual area he's reserved for us, between Camp Kitchen/Amenities Block/Grandstand/Wooden Shed on a first come first served basis. in other words, just back your van into the available area (WAGON TRAIN is probably out of question unless someone wants to be Parking Coordinator & wear a shirt designation (BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, NOT ME! the parking not the shirt). Might need to bring long leads if you end up a bit far from power box.
Don't bother booking site at Showground as I have told Caretaker the numbers or stopping at Caretakers to pay, he wants me to collect your money off you. So it's $11/per person/per nite for a powered site OR $22/night for 2 people. I will collect money Sat morning so have your right money ready if you could please! Also you will need to pay Dave for Sat Dinner, $22/person/dinner. He wants exact money too!
Caretaker says we won't be able to keep any areas for friends. Any overflow he will direct into the area beside his house (as he's just installed a power pole there now) & if that area gets full, vans can go just inside the Arena gateway where the kids Group will be (see post above about the Kids In Tow group & invitation to movies for our kidlets).
So he says we can put our fire drum (transported by Rob) over near the Camp Kitchen (which now has Fridge, BBQ & tables & chairs), as long as it doesn't burn the grass as he's worked hard to reinvigorate the place. He is happy for us to put our fire on the edge of the road near the Kitchen.
WOOD! if everyone brings some wood, that will be great, we will be very cosy!
FRIDAY NITE! if you want to do your own thing re dinner, that's fine, it's not compulsory to share. If you want to eat your own dinner alongside everyone else, thats fine! Everyone has different food tastes! If people want to share dinner, bring your chairs, crockery, cutlery & reheated food to the camp kitchen, say Drinks/Soup/entrees at 6.00, then Main course at 6.30, & dessert at 7.00 or after. There will be enough tables & lights to spread it out.
SAT NITE...Free Pub Bus will start pickup at 5.30, so there will be a few runs to get us all over to the Pub by 6.30 for dinner. The bus returns to Showground when you're ready to go home!
SECRET SANTA! a few people have contacted me & said, don't worry about SS or a SWAP.
Cheers
Cathie
Hi Bob & Jacqui/John & Heather
Thanks for that! Will do!

I noticed a few van owners at Laidley last month had some "for sale" items at their sites, to help move on some unwanted items (& make some pocket money).
Would this be acceptable at Canungra seeing as the "swap table" idea isn't going ahead?

Hi all,
Cutoff date if you want to be included in the Sat nite Xmas dinner, then it's Wed next week folks!
I changed a few times in the long post above as some people will get to Canungra about 6.00 on Friday nite & don't want to miss dinner!
I guess someone will bring MUSIC?
