Oh, just had a thought after posting the above.

Ben did you have something different to add in relation to fees, ie. group entry fee (if there is any such thing)....which I noticed has no mention of such a thing in the fee section of the form?

Well not quite... theres the fee from the show itself, and everything else is commonsense

a) Your own accomodation

b) Your petrol/transport fees (I'm budgeting $120 for petrol to and fro, plus a tad more if I attend the sunday cruise)

c) Food/Snacks which arent covered by show dinner (I only have kettle in my hotel so I'm taking sui-min/fantastic noodles incase I get peckish)

d) English Brekky ala Dohmar, $6 with all leftover coin going to SAU:SA (Eggs, Bacon, Tomato, Sausage, Onion, Cheese, toast, mushrooms etc, but you need to book ahead )

e) Detailing (if required - again, we need to know in advance)

f) Alcohol (if you're like me, put a few hundred dollars aside and pray to god your liver holds)

-D

EDIT - There is no such 'group' fee- the fees are written to provide maximum flexibility within a group while maintaining a base entry fee sufficient to cover the expenses and prizes. The good thing about this, is that our members can either choose the $15 or $60 option, whatever suits them -this is a good thing, as autosalon charges a median rate which is quite exorbitant for some.

I thought I'd just put this extra post up regarding a tent

We really really need a big, big, f**koff big tent. Preferably a military spec command tent

Ideally I'd like a tent that has support from the elements, lest the weather become inclement

A tent that is big enough to shelter all SAU participants plus their "mates" plus any spectators at the time

One which can house a trestle table and a few seats

As well as having space for people to put their bags in a safe space

If anyone has one such tent, or knows where I can hire something so large, please let me know

Good Job Dohmar

It is a shame that Cara won't be joining us, as she got it organized.

I have booked a room/apartment for myself and my mate, it has off the street parking. I also booked a room for Krishy inside the Hotel. I am heading up the Friday and staying the 2 nights, coming back the Sunday arvo. I too would be interested in a BBQ, and as for the radio, i don't really care.

Just wondering about the drive up, all the people heading up the Friday, do you want to meet up somewhere and go together? If so, do you want to get some Walkie-Talkie's so we can have convo's/spam music to each other on the drive up? If anyone is interested, i will talk to my mates at Strathfield and see what, if any, deal they can do for me.

Cara has organized my entry forms and payment. Instead of sending you a pm, i shall say here. English Breakfast for myself and my mate, and i shall have my car detailed on the outside please.

Yep mine too....i handed the form + $$$ a long long time ago

I have 2 x 1W walkies I can bring (and lend someone 1). I too plan on taking half a day off Friday and driving up mid-afternoon - no fun getting up there in the dark.

As I am a Northie too (live less than 2km from Dohmar) I was thinking of a meet-up at Bunnings Parafield or something like that at maybe 2pm(ish). And am coming home Sunday sometime - not sure if I will stay in the Riverland for lunch or bolt home after breakfast - will see what time the boss says I have to be home.

Shotgun the walkie talkie number 2 off Nightcrawler....i shall spam you all with some wicked trance tunes

lol dont you worry I'll have my own trance tunes pumping

[Krishy]

I got a few mixes as well might a few more cd's by that stage as well....good a whole heap of Markus Schulz remixes as well....all the good stuff....no cheese

[Luke_ENR34]

I'll bring my walkie to. Fun times ahead.

[Dohmar]

I'll bring my walkie to. Fun times ahead.

Cool... That means our convoy should all have walkie talkies ;

Luke, Pete, Andrew (spare to go to Krishy), Dion (spare to go to Abe), Dohmar (spare for whoever else is coming on the convoy)

So far we've got:

4x R32's, 4x R33's, 2x R34's, 2x Stags, 1x350z and 1xM35 - Petes bike will probably get a display all of its own next to shanes 180sx if possible

Now, I know Ruby is bringing 2 others, Vu is coming up with his GF (i think) and Abe has a mate coming - is anyone else bringing a passenger/friend/partner?

Anyone know who rents tents? (aha I could be a white rapper)... something big enough for 20 people to relax in if necessary

is that the same crazy indian trance we used to hearing out of taxi's krishy

i have no friends ill be han solo tripping it, im fine with tent chipping in aslong as its not too crazy

[Dohmar]

I will chip in towards the tent if need be.

Just called the dude, for 20 odd people we'd need a 6x3 metre Tent and that'd cost $220 for the 3 day hire (aka weekend). I'll discuss the financial situation with the club executive and see how much everyone would need to chip in (or if the club can cover the hire cost).

Pete, would you be OK to take the tent in your car along with the trestle table?

Otherwise would any of u stag owners have any room in your boot/drop the rear seat down etc.. I know ruby is coming up with 3 people so he's gonna need his back seat..

Well we have 14 cars booked for the display, if everyone puts in $20 that'll more than cover the cost of the tent

Done. When and how?

[Dohmar]

Done. When and how?

I'll see if I can cover it somehow, or maybe the club can cover it and we can put the cash back into it once everyone gets there.

For $20 I could include the price of the brekky too, only the people coming up as friends/passengers will have to pay $5 for their brekky

14 * 15 = $210, 14 * 20 = $280, so we'd have $60 to cover feeding everyone (easily done) - could probably even organize some fingerfood for the afternoon.

Excellent... that means we got 2 spare walkies incase anyone wants to join the convoy - since Dion lives at gawler, we might have a quick stop at the petrol station for any last minute fill ups and to meet up with him, rather than have him drive south to Bunnings and then back north again..

Can ya'll pls pm me your mobile numbers incase I need to touch base with ya?
