G'day folks.

Been a very long time since I've popped in here. But I'm still driving my trusty EK regularly.

Do the Nats no longer happen at all?

I'm not on FaceAche so I'm probably missing out on a bunch of info I presume?

I'm keen for Echuca though, even just to see some faces I haven't seen in years.

Just that the Victorian club pulled out this year, so other clubs have pooled to put the event on this year. Next year is WAs turn I believe.

This is pretty typical for nationals entries every other year - you get a trickle until a few weeks out of the cutoff , then a stream , then a flood in the last couple of days
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Unfortunately Clay Robyn and I are going into the UK this year in July so Frank and I won’t be able to make it but we’ll see you in WA in 24 maybe.

Entries close in just over a week. Seven weeks to lift off!

Extract 1 digit laggards. Looking forward to catching up with the forum members going, and seeing some of the fruit of the projects we’ve been drooling over on this wonderful bloody forum of ours.
