The drive-in is $30.00/car for two movies. They also give discounts to for group admissions if we book and pay for in advance, but it's only a couple of dollars I believe.

Oh, and you need an FM radio to hear the sound, unless someone's got a big stereo and leaves their windows down.

Keep the theme going and take a 'who cares what picture you see' approach to the evening

So who's keen for a meet up at the drive in on the 15th ?

i'll have to double check with the missus but i believe we should be able to make it to that date .... unfortunately i'll be driving the commodore ute though, maybe i can borrow a car trailer for the night and bring the FB Ute

it would be very cool to see a heap of fb/eks lined up at the drive in ... how old school would that be

Also for those interested this is whats on the 15th....

The Bucket List - starts 7:45pm.
Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and working class mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) are worlds apart. At a crossroads in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover they have two things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything they ever wanted to do before they "kick the bucket" and an unrealized need to come to terms with who they are. Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, becoming friends along the way and learning to live life to the fullest. Each adventure adds another check to their list, all done with insight and humor.

10,000 B.C - starts 9:45pm
From director Roland Emmerich comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth.
In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh (Steven Strait), has found his heart's passion - the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her.

Hi guys

I will be in Melbourne on the 15th March then having a week over in Mt Gambier for the vintage caravan nationals. staying on over easter to check out the fb/eks old bros.. the FE/FC nats on saturday 22.

wandering home after that. Out through mid west Vic and NSW.

Missus aint coming with me so 1500k pub crawl is in the planning stage.

Will hook up with you guys for a BBQ at some stage down the track. MT Sugarloaf is always good for Barbie as well.
I'll keep an eye out in NSW events.

Bev, what say you join us for the first flick and add another set of tail fins to the picture?

You'd be home with plenty of time to catch a few zzzz's before Sunday's swap

Thinking perhaps we can meet up somewhere along the New England and take the Cessnock road overland to Heddon Greta? Bev, let me know when and where's good to meet up.

MP and Rob, perhaps Traveller's rest at Hexham could be good?

Looking forward to it!
