Nsw Motorsports Excursion

[Roy]

Wakefield will be about 7 hours...its 200kms south of Sydney.

And Snowie, i have faxed my form...though the way this week has been going its looking less liekly that i will be able to make it...please dont give me sh1t. I want to do it, but sadly i cant control when family members are ill

[Sass]

i knew wakefield park was near goulburn, and guess i just assumed it was in wakefield so searched that

but searching goulburn it does say 7 hours...

does that mean leaving earlier won't be considered? or really not necessary?

[Snowman]

Ok - our numbers have dwindled to about the size that I was originally expecting. But thats ok - it's still going to be tops. I'm getting really pumped for this if for no other reason than I'm looking forwards to driving my car in anger on a track again.

And I'm especially looking forwards to driving Wakefield again and meeting the NSW crew.

Anyways - time to start the final planning and will get those still coming's input on this.

Departure time on Tuesday morning I say should be either 5am or 6am from the Shell on the Hume. Basically these trips go faster before the sun comes up - but it will also be day light savings then so the sun will technically come up later than it is now.

But I want to be in Goulburn well before the 3pm because I want to find a pub and watch the Melbourne Cup. It has to be done. It'd be un-Victorian not to have a beer and watch it.

So I'll let the masses decide on a 5am or 6am depature. I'm personally happy with 6am as it's still for me a near 5am depature from my house.

Also - the other thing non of us have done is book accommodation in Syd. I'm keen to stay at the Cabins as they'll be just like Shep and they are a lot more socialble than a hotel. I'd say we are going to need 3 cabins given the numbers coming so if people are happy with that I can make a booking shortly.

Which just leaves the Tues depature time. 5am or 6am everyone?

[Sass]

im happy with cabins - book away snowy!!!

departure time, im happy either way.

id be happy with say meeting at 5, departing 5.30 or something like that - i just know (from experience of family trips to qld!) the earlier the better!!!

[Bec]

Neither really bothers me.

Im happy with whatever a majority decide

The only thing I strogly agree with is that wherever we are at 3pm on Tuesday, we need to be in a bar watching the horses.

[Sass]

beer and horsies!

[Sass]

quick question re packing:

does anyone know whether we need to take any bedding for wakefield or the other place?

(pillow, sleeping bag, towel...)

[Snowman]

They had stuff at Wakefield but I'm bring a doona and pillow anyways as it was no where near enough for a cold place like Goulburn.

BTW - off topic (kinda) but it turns out for Wakefield all drivers WILL need a Wakefield license (as I originally thought). It's not a big deal at $40 though.

[Sass]

cool, thanks snowy

[N1GTR]

At Wakefield there is a heater (old oil style) in each room, last time i just slept in boxers and a shirt. Turn the heater on about an hour before you go to bed

There is pillows and all that provided, but it doesnt hurt to take spares of course

[Sass]

thank you too!!!

- main worry is towels? byo?

[N1GTR]

Towels.......mmm.......cant remember 100% - id say BYO

[Sass]

thought as much!

[Roy]

Just tossing up some options...if there are any passengers going up, if your interested in driving my car up can you please PM me. It looks like at best i may only be able to squeeze EC in...and thats not looking all that likely

[saff_cossie]

5am or 6am is fine with me, again with the masses.

[paulr33]
