Hi all, We are planning a Vintage Caravan weekend away to Churchill Island which is off the coast of Phillip Island on Easter 6th, 7th and 8th April 2007. The event is the Working Horse Festival and our Vintage Vans will be part of the display. There will be working horse displays, pioneer skills & crafts, music & entertainment, stalls great food, wine & local produce, children's old time games, ranger-led walks, blacksmiths, old time skills, steam engines, kids fun, working sheep dogs and farm animals. And the best part of this we can stay for free. You are welcome to stay for 2 or 3 nights. We have 10 vintage vans going at the moment. Please let me know if you are going Cheers Tony

Hi David, As Colin said he is well. Saw Russell and his family at our club Xmas function. Russell tells me the bus company he drives for has lost their contract and Russell might have to look for a new job. Shouldn't be to hard to find a job down here. Cheers Tony.

Hi again, If you are planning on going to Churchill Island could you please let me know before the 4th Feb as they need to know rough numbers. We should be able to add a few more if needed later on, but some indication is needed now. Cheers, Tony.

Hi Tony, we would love to go, always looking for an excuse to get Myrtle ( the Sportsman Teardrop) out of the carport. We will tow her with the 1953 Vauxhall Vagabond as this will be a trial trip to see how things are going to work on the run to Darwin in July. I am currently doing some work on the Vaggy for this trip. Let me know details when finalised. This will be our first run with the caravan group, looking forward to meeting some of you then, cheers for now, Leigh & Karon

Hi Brett, I reckon our 'other' van would look excellent behind your FC wagon. Trouble is, you'll have to come over one day and help give it a lick of paint and some minor repairs to bring it up to scratch. If you're willing, I am! Cheers, Tony.

Hi everyone. A huge thanks to Doug & Vicki, Tony & Dina and everybody who organised or attended Churchill Island. Karon & I had a fabulous time and were welcomed into the group like we had always been members. This was the first time I had had a chance to compare other teardrops to our own, seems like I have some detailing to do!
Next trip for us is to Darwin in July, will keep you informed of our progress.
Thanks again folks, cheers for now,
Leigh & Karon
