It was a great weekend, I was surprised at how many people were not part of the forum, either not at all or not anymore
Next year should be even bigger ;D

Those pictures indicate to me that you folk put on a real classy "Vintage Caravan" display... something to be proud of, equal to some of the shows I've seen over in the UK, but with that distinctly Aussie difference.

I like to see "Vintage stuff" decorating the the 'vans both inside and outside...... and I see you had plenty of that.

Good show, congratulations to everybody involved.

Cobber.

Unbelieveable.....


Congrats to all those that attended. Especially those of you where on your maiden voyage with your freshly renovated/ restored van or, attending your first weekend away with the vintage van crew.

Now isnt using your vans sooooooo ...........much better than sitting reading and typing about them.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

39 is a great effort and i am sure the number will be improved on next year...... Thats if they can find room for you all.

Fantastic ;D

A touch of irony or at least coincidence yesterday at the car meet, my wife was working and has suggested I go and catchup with some friends, we purchased a van the night before and I arrive and there are vans like mushrooms in the sun after a storm.
Caught up with a few of you and had a very good look at 56vickys' van. Well done getting it doen in time for this event. Very impressed with your van.
I had met you before, being an old mat of Ray's, but I had not put your sig here at the forum with you as the hotrodders.
Thanks to all who posted the pics, I had forgotten to take any...
Bit disappointed "Galaxie Belle" was not selling hamburgers! hahaha

Hi KB3,


Great effort there Dale. your chev sure is smooth.


With ex forum members, I keep having to repeat that the only reasons they have been removed is that
A) they had an email adress listed that was invalid, so I couldnt contact them to get them to agree to the required agreement

B) they didnt reply to the email & PM that was sent giving them several weeks to agree.


Sorry if some people possibly think otherwise, but it wasn't anything other than an attempt to remove invalid memberships & to get all members to say yes to Marks Responsibility Agreement.



If you can remember, when anyone tells you they"ve been wiped off, suggest they just re apply under the same user name. They will get all there posts back immediately.

It was great to trek down to Cora Lynn yesterday afternoon, check out the vans and put some faces to names/forum handles. It's amazing how quickly a few hours can disappear - I didn't even get a chance to catch up with everybody that was there!

Here's a few more pics:









There were no fewer than four Roadhavens on display, most or all of which had been bought "as is" and required little or no work on them. Shows the quality built into them. The following Roadhaven was sheeted in aluminium. The owner was of the opinion that the aluminium was original because it was over 3-ply rather than 5-ply. This van is for sale incidentally:





As part of the show, awards were handed out at the end of the day, including awards for the vintage caravan section. If I've got it right, they went to (but not necessarily in this order):

1. Kaybee's teardrop (sorry no pic but see Kaybee's post above)

2. Raymar's Don 120:



3. This beautifully done Hardy:



4. This great Kennedy-style Wayfarer:





If I haven't got the list right, apologies - but well done to those who received awards. Congratulations also to those involved in organising the display and to everyone who took their vans down. It was a great display which created a lot of interest in vintage caravanning.

;DOk, where do i start? This is a personal thank you to every one for coming along to coralyn and making it such a BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!!!!! WEEKEND. Without the effort of everyone turning up we wouldn't of had the display of FANTISTIC vans as we did. Congratts! to the trophy winners this year. We had a total of 37 v/vans this year not bad considering we have been going to this show since it started four years ago with two vans present.Sorry we didn't get a chance to catch up with everyone before they left. Thanks to all for posting photos there fantastic.We will catch up at the next gathering hey.Doug & Vicki ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi all,

What great photos - thanks for posting them.

Looks like it's a great event - might have suggest to Alan about putting Cora Lynn down on the list for next year.

Hey Reddo - perhaps you can make Cora Lynn the pre-Coledale tour for next year ?? ;D ;D

Regards
Di

Hi Doug and Vicky,

As I've said before - great V V display over the weekend.

Is the Cora Lynn show held on the same weekend every year? If so, could the dates be included in the 2009 V V calendar?

Hi all,
Dina, myself and the kids had a great time. Like Doug and Vicky we have been to all 4 shows and have watched it grow and grow. It was good to meet many new vintage vanners and old one's as well. The Cora Lynn show is always on the first Sunday in October.
Cheers,
Tony.

Thanks everyone, especially Doug and Vicki for a great weekend at Cora Lynn. It was great fun meeting with so many new people and seeing their gorgeous vans and cars. We look forward to catching up with you all again. Robyn and Ian
