The logo looks cool, will it be on a plain white t shirt or will we have a t shirt covered in sponsors?
hopefully my car will be finished!
my mate who has a EK and his wife has a FC wagon usually cant afford to go to stuff like this but since he lives in orange he plans to get to this one, i prefer coastal runs but i reckon mountain should be fun, speed limit is 60 all the way around but i bet in the stockers on some sections of the track 50 would be scary.
just a tip, if you see cheap lighters in the mt panarama museum make sure they have gas, i saw some in the souvineer shop for $1 each, i am always losing mine so i thought i would stock up, i bought about 15, we go t back over the other side of the mountains, pulled over for a smoke and found they were all empty or only had 1 or 2 lights left.
worse thing about this for me is the big trip this time will only last a couple of hours, my favorite part.
That is a good logo alright. What about the actual date across the front wing say - like a sponsors text?
Getting excited already ;D ;D ;D
Cathy and I started planning the next cruise across the Nullabor before we had even finished the last one on the cruise home from Mt Gambier
8) 8) 8)
PS just waiting for hotel details so we can get in quick and get the BIG SPA room this time ;D
Can't wait, hard to believe it's still two years away, oh well just have to be patient, It'll be a good excuse to slip up to the snow too, are there going to be black T shirts, I can make a white one dirty just by looking at it ;) :D

I have black and white tshirts, i find with a black t shirt people think youve been bludging but with a white one people think youve been doin stuff, unless ive been dry sanding, then a black t shirt looks like ive been busy.
Bring it On,
I am going to be there, RET, how about putting us out of our misery and spilling the beans on this one ( Come on RET tell us) What is being planned for the Nats?
All in good time.
However, I can tell you there may or may not be a T-shirt with the official logo on it, and if there is, it may or may not be white or black.
Is that enough beans spilt?
RET ;D
And Orange may or may not be the final location.....
i knew the shirts were going to be blue.
Teal Blue??
How 'bout Skyline or Fountain blue? ;D
No they are going to be grey
Quote from: Wayne on June 20, 2008, 10:00:58 AM
No they are going to be grey
and there goes the surprise....
why not a shade of orange for Orange?
it will be like wearing a safety vest especially useful after downing a few ales...
Cheers
Ed
Anything but orange please(or pink) blue sounds good, hey Paul if you come over maybe your dad will let you borrow his new car ;) ;D ;D

I like GP's choice of colour Fountain blue
Hi all,
Just a question that has been in my mind for a while, although I am sure that I will have answered the question by the time I have finished writing...
Has there ever been an FE-FC Nationals in Tasmania?
I am guessing that there won't be any time soon, as we don't have a dedicated FE-FC Club.
Mind you, the thought of a swarm of FE/FC's in Tasmania is a good one.
Cheers,
Ol_Girl_58

No there hasn't.
However, the club down there was admitted into the FE-FC Holden Car Clubs of Australia which means they will get a turn to host a Nationals down the track.
I'm sure Bill & Judi will be looking for all the help they can get organising such an event.
Oh, and by the way...

On your marks...
Get set...

Modify the logo:
Left half FC and right half FE??
How about if we say the underneath half is FC? ::)

That 'd be right RET, we should have known you'd give the FC the "bum" part ::) :D :D.

GO!
The new website for the 13th FE-FC Holden Nationals (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats) in Orange, NSW is now up and waiting for you to check it out.
This means you can start booking your accommodation at Turner's Vineyard and the other venues. The Vineyard will fill up fast, so if you want to stay at Nats HQ, don't think about booking for too long, just do it!
cheers

G Day.
Orange here we come cars and all. ;)
Thanks Richard.

Accommodation booked... "See you in a couple of years..."
;D ;D

Hello
The Ambassador has a problem, they don't know anything about it and are not very nice on the phone.
It's ok solved the problem we are now booked into Turners Vineyard very helpful.
See you there
Paul
We've spoken to the management at the Ambassador, it's all sorted out. Given that we (NSW club) only confirmed our arrangements with the Ambassador last week, it's possible their weekend staff were caught on the hop.
Anyway, their 2008 rates are now available on the site (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats/content/view/33/45/), and they've committed to offering Nats attendees their corporate rates come the event. Obviously they can't say at this stage what the exact 2010 prices will be, and neither will any of the other motels - it's too far out at this stage.
cheers
RET
Accommodation booked at Turners Vineyard not many rooms left.
See you all in 2010 ;)
Tony.
We're booked in.
Yay - bring it on.
GP
;D
We are in ;D-they are filling fast apparently
Bec and I are also booked in at Turner's Vinyard, so are the Goboly's & Tierney's. So there should be a great roll up once again from the ACT. We can't wait!
RET, congratulations on the Nats Website. It's one of the best websites I've ever seen, absolutely fantastic.
Just booked into Turners Vineyard ;D - only about 4 rooms left!!
Regards
Weddo
JUST BOOKED IN GOT THE SECOND LAST ROOM Phew .......FC427.......
Just spoke to Turner's, and the "NO VACANCY" sign has officially been hung. :-[
That's a complete sell-out in under 3 days, 22 months before the event!
The next recommended alternative is The Country Comfort (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats/content/view/34/46/).
cheers
RET
i guess i missed out again. that was quick.
There's no shortage of accommodation at the other official venues:
- Country Comfort
- The Ambassador
- Central Caleula
- Canobolas Caravan Park
... not to mention there are plenty of other motels and another caravan park in the town. Check out the Accommodation (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats/content/category/5/14/27/) link on the website for all the options.
cheers

Out of curiosity RET - how many people/cars do you think will go to the nationals?
Booking out a 42 room hotel is pretty good going with 2 years to go.....

Yeah, we reckon so too ;D
Event Planning is working on numbers in the order of 150 cars / 400 people at this stage.
It's a scale well beyond your average overnight club run :o
cheers

Have you booked your accommodation for Orange 2010? Let us know in the new poll (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats/content/category/5/14/27/)!
Today's the 2nd of July. Only 21 months to go!
I can't see the option for "staying with my cousin". At least he's not likely to get booked out in 3 days.
Cheers
David
Quote from: ridgey_didge on July 02, 2008, 12:25:36 PMAt least he's not likely to get booked out in 3 days.
I dunno - how many spare rooms has he got? And how big's his bar-fridge? I reckon he could have the House Full sign out in well under 3 days ;D
cheers
RET
He's house master at a boarding school actually, so I suspect he might have plenty of empty beds. Too much beer in the dorms might not be permitted however. ;)
This thread's purpose was to announce the launch of the Orange 2010 website (http://fefcholden.org.au/nats).
Since that's happened, it's strayed well O/T, and is no longer serving its original purpose, so it's been closed. Be aware that some posts have been deleted.
Further developments regarding the Nationals will be posted both here and on the official site itself.
