FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

Bill,

How 'open for business' will we find Hobart (and surrounds) on Good Friday?
If say, we took a little drive to say Cygnet, Huonville, Snug etc on Good Friday, would the tourist shops be open?
(and, what's available at Sandy Bay on the Picnic Run).

Parking in, and around Hobart City - are there any secure parking stations available for the general public should we want to look round the city in the week before the Nats?

Geoff

I doubt there will be too many businesses open over this period, with small 'corner stores' being an exception.

I doubt there will be shops open at Cygnet due to it being Good Friday and the fact that Cygnet's a small town. The same goes for Snug. Both beautiful places though, and I highly recommend visiting.

There are a few undercover parking stations to choose from - Argyle Street carpark, Trafalgar Place carpark, Market Place car park, plus a few others. This is a handy site to visit, it includes a map of car parking locations:

Bill has a big shed, enough room for a few FE's and FC's  ;D

Cheers,

Josh.

Thanks Josh,
Have checked out Hobart parking, and thinking about what else we can do!
Geoff

The Lions Club of Glenorchy have offered to supply a picnic pack for the Friday run to Sandy Bay comprising of fresh cut sandwiches, a drink, a piece of fruit and a muisely bar or similar and delivered to the picnic for $10 per person. They will need to be preordered (about a week beforehand) and can be paid for at registration. A meal ticket will be issued.

Weddo and the team at the Tassie Nats

Surely there has to be a good old fashion Aussie Milk Bar out there on the little island.

Hmmm a Pie and a milkshake is all that is required.

Jim

There was one at Sorell (15 minutes away from Nats HQ), but I'm not sure if it's still there. Weddo, have you seen it in your travels? Likewise, there was a rock n' roll themed cafe at Moonah (20 minutes away from Nats HQ), again, I'm not sure if it's still there. I will have look next time I'm driving through.

FWIW you've got to check out Lotus Eaters Cafe at Cygnet - awesome food and a great scenic drive. :)

Cheers,

Josh.

The rock and roll themed diner/cafe that was situated at Moonah is no longer around.  :-\

Geoff and Margaret Saul

Thanks Rusty.

Put me down for 1x Lunch, please. Entrant #56.

(Is this how you want to be notified of takers, Bill?)

Yes this is the way to order lunch packs, keep them coming, we get nothing out of it but it is a litte fund raiser for the GLENORCHY lions.

Weddo

Hi Bill...... 2 lunch packs for Lyn & Dennis (entrant no. 46) & 2 lunch packs for Glenn & Raewyn Stephens.....Thanks.

"Royal"
Roy could you check - Entrant #90 John Wright x3  Entrant #67 Greg Westerland x3 please - both are single entrants, don't want to force feed them ;)

regards

Weddo

Hi Dennis,
 - "2 lunch packs for Lyn & Dennis (entrant no. 46) & 2 lunch packs for Glenn & Raewyn Stephens.....Thanks" . I presume Glen & Raewyn are your friends and guests for the day as they are not entrants. Could you confirm please.

regards

Weddo

Please add 2 more lunches on Friday for Richard Snr and Alice Thomas. Thank you. 

 Hi Bill, Both those entrants have extra people with them, the order is correct.  Thanks  Roy

Hi Bill..Glenn & Raewyn are friends from the NSW club. They have to fly out on Sunday afternoon, so could not bring their car so did not book in for the Nats. Could they come to the Friday & Saturday night dinners & how much would it cost? They are travelling with us & leaving the campervan at the caravan park.......Regards Dennis Booth (no.46)

This is all very clear on the entry form in the "additional adults" section. The cost for each additional adult is $125 and should have been paid with the entry form by the 31st of January.
Bookings for meal venues are made when entries close and it is a bit much to be asking event organisers to create additional spots for people with only weeks to go!
Bill may be able to accommodate your request but it should not be expected as automatically available.

In the past some people have just turned up at the NATS and expected to be able to get a seat at a meal night. This is simply not on and shows a complete lack of understanding of the organisation required to supply food and drinks to approximately 400 people.

Ken

Hi Bill  Please put me down for 1 lunch pack on the friday as well thanks  Allan Wall

Back to this post for a moment - although I can't think of any milk bars in the Hobart area, there is Joe's Garage - a motorsports themed bar:
