This is some fantastic work so far guys.

Well done Chris and Paul.

The sydney lot are getting a little worried about weather at the moment, but I tried to set them straight on what Newy weather is really like :angry:

So, just in case anyone is interested, the forcast for Saturday is....

"Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Warm to Hot. North to NE winds."

Theres no forecast for Sunday yet, but it does say "Trend for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday fine to mild."

Which does sound alot better to me.

I'll keep an eye out.

IF it rains i'd say it will only be late afternoon showers, with a hot sunny day. :D

Here is a report i found on the text messgae thing:

so according to this there should be no problem.....

Hrmmmm I am getting a little worried about all this though. Not because I think it will happen here, but generally because of the hieghtened state of alert the local authorities are on.

I'm thinking we should either find another place sort of close to Newcastle and a beach for the arvo stuff with the Sydney crew, or at least let Newcastle Police know what we have had planned for a month now and that we won't be there to cause trouble. More so they know they can focus elsewhere.

But telling them also means EVERYONE has to be on their absolute best behaviour whilst driving down through Newy.

Alright, so it looks like the Sydney crew aren't coming up for the day. Understandable really. Most of their reasons are well founded.

So.....

We have choices to make.

1) Are we still going?

I say yes. And I'm 100% positive about that.

Why?

Because I say we cruise in spite of all these "threats". I say we show our support for Australias multicutural society and get on with our normal activities.

I was even thinking of some kind of temp sticker for my rear windscreen with something like "I support a multicutural Australia". But maybe, maybe not... lol

Anyway.

2) What shall we do after lunch?

This is something we can prob discuss in the morning at Speersy, but something for you all to keep in mind till then.

We can opt to take our time with photos and lunch, and drag it all out more. Or we can cruise back down to somewhere else. Stockton or back to Speers Point or something.

I'd honestly stay away from Newcastle itself, more to give the police a break then anything else.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Wooo! I'm getting excited!

The photo shoot idea sounds good...

Imagine the perfect shot, on the water beautiful background crystal clear water WITH 20 SKYLINE OWNERS SWIMMING TO SAVE THERE CARS!... ehhehe hope that doesn’t happen.

Anyway I cant wait. Should be a mad day.

Edit: I think I missed reading about 50 posts before i replied.

I haven’t heard much about riots in Newy yet... That’s sort of news to me.

It may actually look like a car club cruise with 20 - 50 Skylines in the same area. But still it wont hurt much to postpone if absolutely necessary.

Hey guys - so many posts since i last checked!!

I have heard NOTHING about these newie riots (whatever that means) happening at the beach. I reckon its just a bunch of 16 y.o fags just taggin onto the media trying to be cool and sms everyone they can. They wont even sho wup themselves!!!!

So i say we go ahead with the cruise - wise decisions there above^^^^ and play it by ear on the day.

Excellent organisation by all members and especially Chris, Paul & Stace. Cheers guys, seeya Sunday.

(Paul if you are picking the food up at 9am sunday does that mean you wont be meeting at Spears point????)

Hey everyone. I'm hoping i'll be able to come on sunday. I have a white 1995 R33 GTST and have been waiting to go on a cruise and meet some new people. Moving house tomorrow so it all depends on how that goes, but i'm gonna do my best to get there. By the way is there anyone from Singleton going that wants to meet up somewhere and cruise down to speers point in the morning?
