Title: Wintersun Post by: Sheriff on May 20, 2010, 04:14:25 PM Who is going to Wintersun this year? I see that Wintersun 2011 will be held in Port Macquarie with Wintersun Mildura to be held in August 2010. Mike.
Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: Dave88 on May 20, 2010, 06:16:45 PM I'll be there, gigging with one of the bands. Won't be taking a car though.
I think it's a bit of a shame that it will be moving away from Coolongatta in the future. Its built up such a profile there. Last year I had a beer with a bunch of Kiwi's who had come across the water for it. I recall them saying that they wouldn't attend in the future if the festival was moved - getting there would just become too difficult/costly Oh well, I'm looking forward to it! :) Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: GM on May 20, 2010, 06:43:11 PM Why the move.................?

Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: ratbox on May 24, 2010, 07:11:21 PM i'm going doubt i'll go to port mac though i like coolangatta for the weather
shops didn't like the extra buisness ;D i'm a bit of a scheptic and a bit of reading between the lines i think the organisers were after some kickbacks, not underhandedly Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: newman on May 25, 2010, 03:14:42 PM We'll be flying up our daughter just relocated to Coolangatta with her partner so we get to visit the grandkids and be at the wintersun ;) Warm weather and cool cars. ;D ;D ;D Mick 8) Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: BAZZA on May 26, 2010, 06:08:06 PM I'll be there in my FJ as usual. I always stay there for a week.
I loved the whole thing cars and music and where it's held. I have heard on the grapevine that maybe wintersun is gone but something will replace it. Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: newman on June 06, 2010, 03:44:43 PM Can anyone tell me where the swapmeet is held on the I think sunday morning???? Title: Re: Wintersun Post by: Dave88 on June 06, 2010, 07:46:04 PM Last year it was held at Kirra Sportsgrounds - Appel Street
