Ok, a little short notice but............
Tea Gardens / Hawks Nest Motorfest is scheduled for Saturday 14th March 2009.
I've never been to this before but last year apparently there were over 300 cars on display.
I was thinking that this might be something that the newcastle folk might be interested in. Bit of a cruise up from Newy for a day of cars of all descriptions. I'm hoping to make the trip down from Taree, so I will attempt to bring along a few of the guys from up this way.
I thought the southeners could meet the northeners at "Ayers Rock" just north of Karuah & then cruise on into Hawks Nest from there.
Southerneers will be leaving from Thomas Street, Wallsend beside the ovals at a time to be determined.
I have been advised by the organisers that we should arrive at Hawks Nest Oval at 9:00am to be in place for the official opening at 10:00. We will be queing with over 300 cars / motorcycles.
-Cost for the day is $10 per car regardless of number of passengers.
-There will be food available (lions club bbq etc) cold & hot drinks.
-20 Trophies on offer.
-Raffles
-Motoring Book store
-NRMA Display (old road side service vehicles)
-Chocolate wheel running all day
-finishes at 2:30 (can leave earlier if you desire)
I reckon we should be looking to depart Ayers Rock by 8:30, which gives us a little bit of time for stragglers (ie. me).
Organisers have advised that we will be able to park together but would like an indication of numbers so they can allocate room for us. So if I could get a reasonable idea of definites by next friday that would be good.
There is no entertainment for kids provided but the beach is only about 250 metres away (so I'm told). I also believe there may be little in the way of shade, but you are most welcone to bring an fold up gazebo etc to erect near your car.
I will also post this up on DSK, Kombi Club, & Watercooled forums to try & get numbers boosted up. All VW's welcome as long as they are VW's. bugs, busses, ghia's, type 3's, buggies, golfs etc etc etc. Old new or in between.
More as it comes to hand.
