OK beautiful people,
After being swamped by people , at least two or three I have just got of the phone to Carol at Murrurundi Caravan Park 0265466288 to book a site on the weekend of 8th and 9th of July.
I have tentatively booked 10 sites to start with, I think we got 13 last year so lets make it another great get together.
The park is puppy friendly, we can have a fire and the camp kitchen is cosy where I can again make whom ever wants a nice big plate of stew.
The owners Carol and Doug made us more than welcome last year as I am sure they will again.
Pam , Rattcliffe and I will be there from Thursday the 6th until Monday morning the 10th, hope to see you there.
JD

Thank you Monica for getting in touch with me via Instagram to let me know about the event. We tried to make it last year and didn't quite get there so hopefully (fingers crossed) we'll be there this year! My husband is a tradesman so things can change quickly if there is a job he needs to get done... But we hope to see you all there!

The van park is also puppy friendly if you like to take them along I totally understand about your hubbys work commitments. We're a bit the same unfortunately. Monica |

Hi all, Shaun and I have booked with the Caravan Park. We will be joining you all for the Friday and Saturday nights. Not sure about The teenagers ATM. We'll see and make a decision closer to the time. We're not sure which van we'll be brining along. The Sunliner may make it's debut  See you all soon. Monica and Shaun |

Hi JD,
The sunny62's are booked plus hounds! Looks like we will bring the Sunliner this time to boost the numbers. . Better put the electric blanket on.
Cheers

Hi Julie and John, That's great to hear that you are coming down again. Hopefully you bring your Sunliner so we can check it out. It looks beautiful in the photos we've seen. Our Sunliner needs some lovin and it'll be nice to get some inspiration Safe travels to you. Monica |

howdy john and pam
well, we've got good news and bad news.
i (geoff) went into hospital yesterday to have a new defibrillator fitted and the good news is that i survived the event without any serious after effects or (easily) detectable abnormalities.
the bad news is that i'm not allowed to drive for two weeks and not allowed to do any heavy physical work for 4 to 6 weeks.
more good news is that this includes hanging out washing, vacuuming, gardening (including raking up leaves), packing and unpacking the dishwasher, pilates, yoga, running or jogging and lots of other things that will come to mind when asked to do so.
more bad news is that i can't hitch up the van, put up annexes and other caravan stuff (including shivering overnight in a cold van), so that means that we can't bring the van up to murrurundi in july to celebrate christmas in the middle (boo-hoo).
even more good news though is that by then i'll be able to drive, so we can drive up there and stay in a cabin where i don't have to do any (heavy) work and can be nice and warm in the airconditioning (ha, ha suckers).
so, we'll cancel the van site and book a cabin and unless anything else goes pear shaped, we'll see you all up there on the thursday.

Good morning Geoff`n jude,
Great to hear you are still coming to Murrurundi, this is where you will have to practice restraint Jude, like myself Geoff is a handsome man.
You will have to contain your urges and nurse your dream boat back to good health.
JD.

HI all, Glad to hear all went well with you Geoff. All the best for a speedy recovery. Glad you and Jude can still make it up for the weekend It'l be great to see you. Our Sunliner passed the inspection at our Car Club and is now registered as a Historic Vehicle. Amongst other jobs, the front and rear windows really need replacing and were leaking, for the interim, Shaun has siliconed the rubbers and I'm happy to say that there is no longer any leaks so it's looking more like the Sunliner will be making the trip us. Also, think our grand daughter will be joining us as well as she and our daughter will be visiting us from Perth for the July school holidays. Looking forwards to seeing you all and having a few drinks around the fire. Monica and Shaun |

Hi John, I have booked the entertainer (Chloe Hall) for Fri night. Couldn’t get her for Sat as she was already booked, but so far all of your group will be here by Fri anyway. She is a local lass who can really sing and play the guitar. She will be in the warm and toasty camp kitchen from 7-9pm. We have around 3-4 powered sites left, but still have heaps of unpowered if you still wish to promote it further. Carol
Well people this is the message I have recieved from our very accomadating hosts Carol and Doug. Would be great if we can fill the park.
JD.
