Its all good!
Yep, we can use the area near the sailing club next to the boat shed. We might have to limit it to the cars being worked on but there is ample parking about 15 metres away. We might even be able to get some nice piccys next to the water or something like that. I'll try and swing by and take some piccys so that everyone knows what we're dealing with. The club is in Yarralumla Bay and to get there is easy as p!ss. Drive south along Northbourne until you get to the set of traffic lights in front of Parliament House. Its the only set between the bridge and the house so its pretty easy to spot. Turn right and go past the British High Commission and the Chinese Embassy. Keep the boot into it through the roundabout and all the way around the lake nice fun road though corners can be tighter than they look if you don't know the road. No real public BBQ facilities I don't think so Telopea or maybe even Western Park would be fine. Although come to think of it, the club has a BBQ. thinking thinking thinking - I'll get back to you on that one. :wink: I suppose we need to decide on a time then? Maybe 10:30-11:00? I live across from EPIC so can also meet you there.

CAI DAY IS ON THANKS TO ANDY aka ABC
Three Cheers for Andy:
Hip Hip Hooray Hip Hip Hooray Hip Hip Hooray Well done indeed!!!! Just let us know if we need to bring anything like extension cords, etc. Happy to BBQ elsewhere if it is asking too much of the yacht club. Telopea Park is a favourite because it is close to Civic, shops are 200mtrs down the road etc. |

Mmmm.
10:30 sounds good, I may need a little help finding :wink: I leave in the early AM on Dandy Hastings road, onto the South-eastern, under the Yarra and over the Boltey bridge and onto the Calder and 'round the ring rd to the Hume Hwy. Through Albury-Wodonga and onto Yass, turn right and follow the signs to Canberra. I will pack provisions Simple untill then :wink: I need help (most would say I need seroius help). I don't know Canberra. Directions like go to the school that burnt down in '75 and turn towards simos' place will not help me :P Lookin' forward to seeing you on the day

Pretty easy Cosmo Dude.
You should be coming in on the road from Yass so its real easy. Just keep travelling on the road that you come in on until you get to a T intersection with a left turn to Sydney/Goulburn and right turn to the city. Turn right and head towards the house on the hill. Its about 6km from there to Parliament House on a three lane road through the city. Go over the bridge and look at the pretty lake and the ugly Museum and take the next right at the traffic lights. Drive straight through the roundabout and you'll pass the Yacht Club. Keep going around the lake for about 1.5km until you find the sailing club on your right. Its pretty hard to miss.

In that case Cosmo Dude, Get to that T intersection and turn left. About 1km up the road is the shell servo on the left.
Holy Crap Kitty! You've almost got as many posts as I do and I have 12 months on you! "Goddammit that's a BAD KITTY!" (Cartman voice) Who's the post slut now? :lol: jk of course!

I was gonna mention something about how much ****e I can carry on with when I had been a member for one month on 1st May, but held back....
I prefer Post Dynamo! It's funny, I don't post to get my numbers up or anything, I just can't NOT say anything, I always have a comment to add here or there... and don't forget Kitty's dumb questions.... *shrugs shoulders* I have been considering the whole sticker for car idea, considering my car is nude..... :shock: You have seen Bad Girl and Bad Bitch etc...... Well, how about Bad Bad Kitty? :twisted: Not huge or anything, really small. And I think I will have to get an AstinaGT sticker eventually too, just terribly broke ATM! I am also trying to design an outline Kitty logo type thing..... How's that for off topic??? *hauls self back to topic* Our wonderful, excellent, capable, local Leader Lantis himself is organising to meet critter at the servo for the trip into the yacht club... Thankyou Tony! so I would imagine that everyone that is going to meet at the servo should ensure they have exchanged numbers and information with him. I am not sure if I will come for the Epic to Yarralumla cruise or organise with Andy to be on hand to help set up and organise things at the club or just be dragging my sorry butt out of bed in Kingston when everyone is wondering where the heck Kitty is......... After all, Kitty wants her CAI and her swaybar done..... don't want much do I fella's :wink: OK, on that note..... it's coffee time!!!!!! When you can only have three a day now, you get pretty darned happy when it's coffee time!!!!!!! :lol: |

Went to a sailing club meeting last night and we can use the clubs BBQ so its all good.
All we need to do now is organise some food to cook on the Barbie I'll bring down my dad's wheel ramps as well - might make it a bit easier to get to things.

Hey Cosmo, there is a Formula 1 motel right next to Epic that is like $50 a night or something.... that might help? or try RatesToGo.com apparently is Australia's premium last minute hotel reservation website, offering savings of up to 60% on hotels and apartments around Australia. I dunno, just heard about it.....
Alright the rest of you, although neither Andy or I have checked the BOM website for the weather, we are going to go ahead and plan for the BBQ because the yacht club has generously allowed us the use of their facilities! YAY for Andy and the Yarralumla Yacht Club!!! Soooooooo For the BBQ portion of the day, we need a decision as to whether everyone wants to bring their own stuff, or pay a nominal per head fee and hopefully I can get some stuff organised. I may rope in some assistance for this :wink: BBQ's generally need (before food): Cooking utensils Oil Eating Irons (knives and forks) Plates Salt and Pepper Tomato Sauce Mustard Paper Towels Anything anyone else can think of? Then there is food: Sausages ~ 1 pack Andy, more? Steak Onions Salad for the rabbits amongst us Bread ~ 2 loaves JJ, more? Butter ~ some? JJ, And liquid refreshments: Soft Drink Booze ~ VB available at Canteen, rest BYO Esky Ice Stubby Holders For comfort: Chairs? Picnic Blanket or Ground Sheets Umbrella's and Warm Jackets in case the weather turns Camera's!!!!!!! Sense of Humour Big smiles I leave the tools, power tools (Tim the Toolman gruff gruff gruff) and other requirements to you fella's. I have asked heaps if I need anything and so far I am bringing my swaybar, bushes etc..... If anyone does the "bring a sock to put in it" why I oughta..... *Lady Deathstrike Claws* hahahahahahaha What do you think fella's??? Seriously? Who is going to bring what and what should I bring from that list above? Don't you all dare say I need to bring the alkeyhole coz you got buckleys! If you don't tell me who is bringing what, I won't be bringing anything and then the day won't go so well ya know? So lets all have a terrific time of it and Party Hard! Yay for AstinaGT!! |

I'll bring a pair of axle stands and some basic tools - plus as I'm drving the Renault we'll have at least one car that's capable of ducking out to shops/Repco/Autobarn whatever if we need bits and pieces.
