Sadly, again clashes with a family event. G'day Mustang, Sorry to hear about the clash. The 2024 VV Nats are on at the same time as the last couple, so that probably means your family event is on roughly the same date each year as well? The Nats will be in your territory this time (well, sort of). Any chance you can come for part of the event? We'll promise you a right royal welcome if it's feasible for you. Don Ricardo

Hi Don Ricardo and Other Organisers,
Thanks for organising.
I have contacted top of the town to book a site and paid my entry fee.
All being well we will be there with Don 718! Also our first Vintage Van Nationals.
Cheers
Stewart

Hi Stooy,
Great to hear that you're coming to the Nationals.
2024 is actually the 90th anniversary of Don Caravans, so it will be excellent to have a few Dons there to celebrate such a significant event!

Don Ricardo Hi Don, Talk about timing, I will be in Tassy the same week !!!! we had to book this hike a year ago to suit grandkids from two states, then of course the "Three capes Walk" is very difficult to get bookings when required. I will make it in 2026 (seems so far away) Cheers

Don Ricardo Thanks Don Ricardo! I assume as some point a schedule of events during the nationals will be published? I am just wondering as I want to arrange my work days around the events (sadly I will need to work a bit during the event).

The Simpsons are booked and paid. Wishing Stanthorpe all the best in avoiding bush fires. There is one burning about 40ks south of them at the moment.

Re mike and Lyns earlier comment “all booked and paid”…are they now taking payment as when I tried to pay a while back the caravan park did not want to take any payments yet? Jenno Hi Jennison, I think the caravan park for the Nationals got a bit overwhelmed at the beginning and possibly gave different advice to different people. I've certainly paid a deposit for my booking, and I think most others have, although I did hear of a few people who got the same initial advice as you. I suggest you give the park a ring again and ask them if you can pay a deposit to secure your booking. Let us know how you get on. It's important you're there. After all the 2024 Nationals are in part a celebration of Jennison's 90th anniversary! Don Ricardo

Deposit now paid Richard, all sorted. Thankyou. I would note that anyone who has put down to be in a particular "group" (in my case it was the "jennison group" but it could be "friends of freds" group so to speak) they might want to double check that the park has that recorded. Both aussieute and I definitely stated the Jennison group when we first made our booking but when I/we went to pay the deposit yesterday they had no record of that in the booking information! regards Jenno

Hi Coronet,
We're still working out some of the details regarding the program for the Nats because of a couple of hitches along the way, but hope to announce the program soon.
There will be a sausage sizzle on the Friday night and the Nationals Dinner will be most likely held on the Saturday this time around so that those attending just for the weekend can participate.
Anyway details soon.
Just regarding your Forum registration, 'Coronet' is still a valid sign in, and Proboards tells me that you were last signed in yesterday (Friday morning) at 8.55 am...although that might be US time! Let me know if you are still having trouble getting in.
Don Ricardo
