I would like to offer some suggestions. No offense but have done canberra quite
a few times now is always fun but I wouldn't mind something different. 1. Lets do Melbourne have not really done a proper mexican run with the group. Its been thrown up lets do it. 2. Lets all leave the cars organise some cheap flights to Adelaide and trash the joint !!! And then leave. 3. Something like Wisemans Ferry where we could rent some cabins, park the cars and forget, and have a good old gassbag and pissup. The best time I had at the dyno run was after dinner at the tripple whatever having some drinks and a chat and a perv !!! Wont get the perv at WF but 2 out of 3 aint bad. Doesn't have to be WF there are heaps of places like that on the water with cabins. Regards Mal

Great suggestions Mal,
Organise something!! A big event every 2 or 3 months would certainly keep everyone together, and offer variety too! Why not do something like you suggested for a Xmas Type Do? Get the cabins and the drinkie poo's and have a Xmas Treat, with a secret santa and a nice din din's. We can all sit around afterwards rubbing our bellies and enjoying the nice weather and ales that go along with it!! Love it! As for Melbourne, I love going there, except for the hook turns, LOL! Any excuse to give Vix, rupewrecht, Dogo and MrPayner the kersplatto stacks on hugs they so sorely need! :lol: Adelaide: Meh, I am going there within a couple of weeks for a funeral. I have family there and go there all the time. Can show you some great places in town for fun and clubbing 8) |

I thought if we were trashing the place an innocent unbeknowing town would be
better Could be replaced with gold coast beat the schoolies to trashing it. Summer does make it more difficult to book places by the water whether it be north coast, south coast or out towards the mountains ala WF which is why I suggested in october still a bit cold in the water for some. Happy to organise something if there is a show of hands and a cash deposit. If we want to promote more 1 group events maybe a buddy system should be in place where if people fly to sydney then they get a buddy to drive them round in sydney and when we fly to say melbourne they drive us round mixes people up a bit gets people in other peoples cars you are not just driving around in your car all weekend which is very little different to driving to work every day maybe only just a fraction slower My vote is still melbourne but could easily be swayed if there are any spring wine festivals anywhere !!! Mal

Perhaps instead of going Inland, maybe head somewhere like Batemans Bay or even closer to the Vic border on the coast. Still middle ground for both states (as the general club population is between vic+nsw) and the run from canberra to bates is not too long either.
We should also not forget the people North, so a central coast event could be also on the cards which is a little more reasonable on the pockets for them. Agree with Mal, we have done canberra a few times now and it is nice and convenient for most interstate members but we should broaden our wings and explore new places.

There's a place on the water about 10km before batemans has cabins you could
get 4 to a cabin. Has a restaurant and pool etc.

I am just keeping everything up to date....
We have tons of time so it's not as if a decision has to be made straight away. I like the idea of the cabins too though, don't let it go ok? |

Just a side note to all, I am more than happy to help organise stuff here in Canberra, and let people stay at my place etc
But I can't really help organise anything else at other locations. (except suggestions for Coffs Harbour!) I love so many of these suggestions, but I think before I do too much more for Oktoberfest, I need to know how many people will want to do it and whether or not peeps want to come to Canberra....... I still love Mal's suggestion, but I am a bit worried that it might be out of my budget range :cry: As long as whatever happens, there are lots if laughs and pictures! |

mal i think i know the place your talking about...
i got a better idea... Lake Conjola, whihc is a bit out of ulla dulla.... if we can get organised on this we can have lake side cabins, for quite cheap as long as we all group together

Sounds good to me I too am on a verry small budget.
Some of the best cruises I had with the X-Cyber club (Group that Danny kicked out of Cyber Club inc. me) was when we drove as a group somewhere, parked the cars, forgot them and simply spent half a day to a full day just hanging out having a BBQ, sinking piss, kicking a footy around getting to know everybody. Have known some people here for years and only spoke to them in person for say 30mins. Would like to change that. Can you check out the cabin prices the one outside batemans was like $110 a night if you get 4 people in thats $30 each.

well its gonna be like 6-8 per cabin, they have plenty of room, and there are about 6 lake side....
if we can get it organised it will work... bbq is out side the place, but the accomadation is more or less a re-locatable home sorta thing.... i'm happy to stay there... they also have some bigger cabins available.... my lil sister went there and it worked out to be around $14 per night
