2014 Cowra Nationals - NEWS
Re: 2014 Cowra Nationals - NEWS
Dave,
it's not for me to spruke what is allowed by the host club for Cowra but....
We have entered and attended three nats now where we have used the event from which to launch our winter escape with the LC and caravan...
On these occasions, we have gone on the runs - but have shown respect and courtesy to those who take their entered FB/EK by tagging a long at the very end of the line..... you sort of miss the aura of being in your own bus, but enjoy the stroll along the road and the wonderful sight ahead of you....
The emphasis is on tagging behind the group - not breaking it up.
I'm not aware of any precedence where a fee has been charged for a tag-along - unless of course, there was an admission fee at a given location...
I further do not know if there is any provision for people to be catered for or even attend the dinners etc... but firmly believe this is not the case..... functions have to be arranged and finalised long before events - and numbers determined for venues. I believe you are aware of this.
As you can appreciate, there is an awful lot of planning goes into a nationals - allocation as an entrant not only affords entrant number, but also things like judging forms, "T" shirts, goodie bags and display arrangement/site insurance for the show'n'shine... plus much more...
I am guessing that the NSW club (hosts for this event) will probably support much of my understanding.
Looking forward to catching up with you at Cowra - and getting the opportunity to see your FB, FE and FJ..... that will be a great "convoy" in itself...
frats,
Rosco

Hi DaveI have a quick question
My mate has entered his newly restored FB into the nats. We were hoping to travel with him in convoy with an FJ and an FE.
Are we able to tag along on the saturday in the cruise events or is it for FB EK's only? Happy to pay some sort of fee to tag along, we just wont all fit in his FB!
Looking forward to it!
Dave
That's fine. Just jump on the back of the convoy...it's usually the best place to be anyway as you get to see all the FB EK out the front windscreen.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

funny that Pauly it's actually basically opposite the cowra tourism place it's real easy to find if you know cowra at all there's a Mc Donalds and it's opposite that basically under the bridge that goes over the river
Rosco gotta get colder than that to freeze the hose, and it's a nice day again here today

Re: 2014 Cowra Nationals - NEWS
Thanks, Mick - I tried to find the park..... someone's not doing their job up there in the tourism place.... or it's been recently re-named... or the sign has been removed.... or...... well, "Where-is" doesn't know where to find it - so it doesn't exist!.... blasted Telstra - think the software is written off-shore...... and - whilst on on my hate speel - why aren't public toilets listed in one of the POI's...... or am I missing something....?
Just keep that sunny weather running for about another week, please.... we're starting to get cold stuff down here - and I'm starting to grumble...... be nice to run north with the geese and help you share some of that sunlight...
I fully expect your time will come for frozen hoses.... we get our sub zero's here July through early September..... bit nippy out on the golf course at first light....
frats,
Rosco
