Just letting you all know that the Program for the Nationals is now available HERE
All the sites in the Top of the Town Tourist Park are now booked, although you may still be able to go on the waiting list - check with the Park. Meanwhile space is still available at the adjacent Showground for the period from Friday, 26 April to Tuesday, 30 April only. Bookings for the Showground via the Vintage Caravan Nationals website.
It's going to be a great time with 150+ vintage and classic caravans booked for the event.
Further updates about the Nationals will be posted on this thread.
