Title: Nats update Post by: mcl1959 on January 27, 2004, 09:30:35 AM Hey Tim, when's the next update coming?
I'm looking for some more stuff to enthuse the members about the Nats. Ken Title: Re: Nats update (coming soon) Post by: Tailshaft_Tim on February 09, 2004, 11:02:54 PM G'day Ken After enjoying the summer siesta period, the FE-HR Holden Owners Club (ACT) will have its first 2004 meeting on Thursday 12 February. The 10th FE-FC Nats Committee will meet soon afterwards and will post an email bulletin to update all FE-FC Club members interested in coming to the Snowies in Easter 2005. We will post entry forms as soon as they're available. Of course, we look forward to getting some more expressions of interest from Victoria, as NSW & Qld are currently leading the numbers. We're also pleased to hear that a few Holdens are going to be travelling all the way from WA & NZ, aswell as SA & Tas. TOTAL = 69 Holdens 24 New South Wales 17 Queensland 12 Australian Capital Territory 9 Victoria 3 South Australia 2 Western Australia 1 Tasmania 1 New Zealand Cheers, Tim.

Here are some of the responses. "I thought there was no need to register interest since accomodation was not a problem and we can enter by the end of this year." "There is no point in registering interest - I provided my email address when I registered just after the last Nats and I have never heard anything from ACT" This is pretty much the way the meeting headed until we closed discussion on the subject. Look forward to your comments Ken Title: Re: Nats update Post by: RET on March 11, 2004, 10:22:28 PM On behalf of Tim (who I hope won't mind :-X),
I've received a number of updates regarding the Nationals this week, for converting to web-pages and publishing at http://www.fefcholden.org.au/nats It is being held off only because the guys from ACT are going to Jindabyne this coming weekend to finalise some things. So expect some announcements next week. cheers RET Title: Re: Nats update Post by: Tailshaft_Tim on March 12, 2004, 04:44:54 AM Thanks for the feedback Ken, and thanks for responding RET. The 10th Nats Committee feels it is worthwhile registering interest. It allows each state to gauge numbers of those wishing to attend (prior to official entries being received), and allows us to distribute the latest information via email updates. We appreciate that not all members have the time to regularly check these bulletin boards for new info, let alone the 10th Nats website. So we'd like to send emails that reach everyone immediately, and allow clubs to share details via meetings/newsletters for those that are not online. Whilst there has only been a couple of emails/bulletins thus far, they'll flow pretty thick and fast now there is only 12 months to go and 2005 prices are finally being confirmed. RET mentioned that we've given him new info to be released on the 10th Nats website once the Committee returns from Jindabyne next week. This will include final prices for Jindabyne's Station Resort and 10th Nats entry forms. Finally, I can confirm Vic member comments that accommodation is indeed not a problem, with the Resort being exclusively reserved for 10th Nats entrants, and plenty of parking being available for all vehicles, tow vehicles and trailers. Also, 10th Nats entries will be accepted up until end January 2005, with all entries received prior to end November 2004 entitled to a $20 discount. So, stay tuned for a new bulletin next week! See you in the Snowies Cheers, Tim. Title: Re: Nats update Post by: mcl1959 on March 12, 2004, 08:35:06 AM Tim - I will post your response in the next newsletter.
Thanks for that. Regards Ken Title: Re: Nats update Post by: Tailshaft_Tim on March 12, 2004, 12:27:29 PM No worries Ken, I appreciate your support and valuable feedback. Infact, I was reading your club's newsletter at our meeting tonight and noticed that you'd included our latest brief update in there. I trust there is a fair bit of interest from Victoria and hope it gains some momentum once the next bulletin & website updates go live. The Committee is reasonably excited about the package that we're able to offer entrants to celebrate the 10th Nats. I'm sure you guys are also getting right into Victorian options for the 2006 Nats too! See you in the Snowies. Title: Re: Nats update Post by: HAD 708 on March 14, 2004, 01:14:09 AM Tim
Tony and i are busy checking out options for the 2006 Nationals and we hope to give some info in the not too distant future in regard to a chosen venue. Brett |
