Paddy, just to let you know I will not be able to put my car in the show for next weekend as I had a slight problem with a pole in a carpark in Coffs Harbour. Will try to have repairs done in time when we get back on Monday, if not I will still be there on the day.

Cheers

Rosie.

Don't bet on photo ops at Parliment House, on Saturday, we were there for less than a minute before the protective services told us in no uncertain terms to move on.

Paddy71 · 18-11-2007, 10:29 PM

Well then we'll go down to old Parliament House. They'll leave us alone there for 20mins or so.

Sprint94 · 18-11-2007, 10:56 PM

Hi Frances and others who have been organising the show n' shine, hoping I can join the show on Sunday and enter my ED Sprint on the day. Have been out of loop for a while and unable to get to meetings, but hope to catch up one way or another. Cheers,
Bruce

MRS FANTASY · 19-11-2007, 12:05 PM

Hi Bruce

Good to here that you are still here, look forward to seeing you next week

Frances

GTPford · 23-11-2007, 12:39 PM

Looks like we are going to be a no show due to the GTP still being in the work shop (how long has it been ?) we may get out there and have lunch with you all, have a great weekend :lookedat:

**data_mine** · 23-11-2007, 12:49 PM

I hope you're getting some kind of compensation for all that cr@p they've put you through.

Nargee · 23-11-2007, 02:22 PM

Forecast is for Showers - is the show still being held no matter the weather as we are travelling down from Sydney.

Ciao - James

GT595 · 23-11-2007, 04:01 PM

Hey James - Here is the link to the actual overall event.
http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/marques-in-the-park
There is a contact about halfway down the page (Bruce Perry) give him a call if you want and he will confirm the suggested actions if the event is rained out (total cancellation - car park shift etc).
I do know our club hasn't got an official cancellation or move plan but if the rain is in-evidable Im sure we will come up with something.

Paddy71 · 23-11-2007, 05:23 PM

At the moment the forecast is Fine Saturday and only a possibility of showers for Sunday. We've done a recce on the ground today and its all pretty firm and well drained from the last 24hrs of odd showers.

The organisers of Marques in the park do have a contingency plan if necessary.

Nargee · 24-11-2007, 04:59 AM

Thanks Guys, spoke with the guys travelling down with me tomorrow and we decided to come down no matter what - have attended all of your shows and really enjoy the company and the atmosphere so it is always worth the trip. See you tomorrow.

Ciao - James
