Title: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: FC_Driver on March 29, 2005, 09:00:53 AM What a great time was had by all this Easter at Jindabyne. Who will ever forget the Sunday Cruise to Dalgety. 70+ cars in convoy . What a day!!! FEs & FCs as far as the eye could see. Then there was the photo shoot at the local garage. Now that was a special sight. To the organising committee Thank You. Now can we take off our wrist bands. :)

WAYNE Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: Beetroot on March 30, 2005, 05:43:58 AM FROM THE ORGANISING SIDE OF THINGS, SOMETIMES IT APPEARED THAT IT WENT TOO QUICK!!
But, I agree. It was sad to see it all come to an end. I'm very glad you all enjoyed it so much. Just as a matter of interest, have any of you eaten your lollies??? Or are you all just going to keep them somewhere on a shelf??? :D Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: colt on March 30, 2005, 07:25:43 AM It's a bit hard to sing karaoke whilst looking through the bottom of a glass, eh Craig?
Colin Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: gp on March 30, 2005, 07:54:03 AM Thanks for the kind words guys. Our main aim for the weekend was to make the entrants smile :D. I think we succeeded with that.
Cheers, Graham Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: GOA350 on March 30, 2005, 08:25:41 AM To everybody who had anything at all to do with the nats, be it organising committee, sponsors or entrants. Thank You all very, very much for a wonderful weekend ,my wife and I haven't stopped talking about it and I couldn't wait to get home, once we'd left Jindabyne, to get on the forum and talk to our new family. Once again thanks to all involved and hope to see you all at Phillip Island
sincerest thanks Scott & Virginia Mckenzie Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: JB on March 30, 2005, 09:05:42 AM Awesome weekend...

On behalf of myself and my family, we had a great time and all the efforts made to run these events should not be underestimated. Congrats to Graham and his team from the ACT as everything went very well and all possible areas were well covered. Ken, Jan, Kate and Tim ps we really love the "I survived 10 Nat's" T shirts Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: gp on March 30, 2005, 07:09:33 PM Jason & Sonia,
Sorry, but I believe that the lollies are all gone. It was great to meet you both. I look forward to seeing you at Phillip Island?? Scott, Ken, etc, thanks for the kind words. Cheers, Graham :D Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: Ed on March 30, 2005, 08:19:44 PM Hello All,
Despite missing the deadline and attending without a car (didn't I cop some sh!t for that ! lol), I still had a ball. met loads of cool people, had a great time. thanks organisers.. was great. Cheers Ed Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: Hewart on March 30, 2005, 10:16:15 PM Just to echo all those thoughts... I thought the weekend was fantastic, even if it seemed to end much too quick!!!
The organisation of everything was first class, and I'm sure everyone enjoyed it. It was a very relaxing weekend, but we're all still knackered as there was so much to see and do. It was great to meet new friends, put faces to those forum names, and catch up with others we already knew.... and too see some very high quality FEs and FCs was a huge bonus!!! I have to say I am plesantly surprised how much my wife and kids enjoyed the weekend too!! They met and made new friends too, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves... My wife particularly enjoyed not having to worry about feeding us all weekend too ;) In fact they are now pushing toward travelling to Melbourne mext year much more than I expected them too ;D It also helped that the car went so weel with no dramas at all... Awesome weekend guys!! Thanks heaps Les.....

What a weekend all those FE-FC's, great place, well organised, kind weather and fantastic people. Kate and I have just got in the door, first destination the forum to read the responses and look at all the pix. Is there a hard luck trophy for the trip home Tony Galea driving home @ 50mph and us with two blowouts the second with no spare, thanks to Martin for the use of his spare, EFFEE did look odd with a stocky wheel and tire on the front. Anyway all this did, was add to the experience. Again congratulations to the organisers on a great 4 days Kate and Greg Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: old-blu on March 31, 2005, 06:24:16 AM Hi to you all. FC VAN arrived home safely on Wed. arvo.
I would like to endorse all the preceeding comments and add our sincere thanks to the Canberra Team for their "SUPER EFFORT". I will remember the snaking line of FE & FCs as they made their way to Dalgety, the karaoke night [which in my view bonded the crowd & had us all laughing like teenagers.] The Presentation Night was superb . Thanks to "Tailshaft Timmy" for taking us up to Thredbo and the walk from the Chairlift -- we know you didn't need that Tim after all you had already done!! My congratulations to the National Delegates on the successful changes to the Judging system. Spreading the Trophies around the way this has turned out is "the way to go". Whilst we are pleased to be safely Home,we do feel a bit flat after a great time with such a friendly team of new and old friends. looking forward to Phillip Island & will need to extract the digit to get my wagon finished. Thankyou from the two OLD-BLUs. ;) ;) Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: HAD 708 on March 31, 2005, 09:01:37 AM Even though i passed on my congratulations to all the organising committee of the ACT club on a truly fantastic Nationals i feel obligated to pass my thoughts on again to ALL those concerned in the running of the best Nats yet!!!! I came home with a sore throat from all the Talking and a little! drinking it was sad to leave all the great people but reasssuring that the majority will make the trip to Phillip Island for the 2006 Nats. We are all so lucky to be in such great inclusive movement. Our trip home was a long one after finally getting Tony Galea back on the road about 1.00pm in Cooma after the repair of the gear stick tube!! A special thanks to Colin and Jackie Tierny and Julius and Nicola Goboly for there support and assistance. The Cooma garage guy was fantastic as well. We all arrrived home around midnight last night to give the well worked grey motors a deserved rest after just over 1250 miles!! Anyway on to Phillip Island organisation we have only 12 months "OH MY"
Brett Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: NascoHunter on March 31, 2005, 11:43:58 AM Hi all,
Have been to all 10 Nationals and this Nats was by far the best. Great company, cars, location and best of all great team work from the ACT Club. Was sad it had to end am feeling a bit flat at the moment but will fire up for Phillip Island in 2006. Also big thanks to Colin and Jackie Tierny, Julius and Nicola Goboly and Kev who let me us his tool and work shop in Cooma and all the support in getting my FC back on the road for the long haul home at 50-55 miles and ariving home safe and sound at midnight. Thanks Heaps Tony and Dina Galea. Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: Martin on March 31, 2005, 12:40:39 PM I'll add my congratulations and thanks to the Canberra people for a great week-end.
See separate thread for some of the story of our trip home. Martin Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: colt on March 31, 2005, 09:08:54 PM Glad to hear everyone arrived home safely. Now looking forward to Phillip Island.
Colin Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: RET on March 31, 2005, 10:50:27 PM I'm not sure I can add much to this thread that hasn't been said already, but even so, congratulations to all the members of the FE-HR HOC of ACT who put in such a mammoth effort over so many months to make the weekend just gone so memorable. Having been to other events run by the Canberra club, I went with high expectations, but they were exceeded by a long way. The Best Nats Ever. Everything about the event was extremely professional and of the highest quality. (Except some of the singing ;))
I would like to single out a couple of the unsung heroes (or heroines): Jacky Tierney and Nicola Goboly, who put in so much hard work all weekend to make sure everyone got fed and looked after. Even though I didn't have my family with me and could find my own way to the bar, the efforts of these two were clearly what made the weekend so enjoyable for the families. The Nats were obviously a well co-ordinated team effort, and my congratulations to you all. The FE-HR HOC of ACT is a comparably small club - and only a small percentage are FE-FC owners - so to produce such a terrific event speaks volumes for the commitment and dedication of all the members. Well done to you all. So, when's the next ACT All Holden Day? ;D cheers RET Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: EJ_Dave on April 04, 2005, 11:17:00 PM From a Saturday day-tripper I'd just like to add how much I enjoyed looking at a such an impressive collection of FE/FCs and putting a few more faces (and cars) to names.
If the EJ hadn't performed so well on the trip I'd now be trying to replace it with an FE/FC. Dave Title: Re: All Good (great) things must come to an end Post by: surferboy on April 05, 2005, 09:59:58 AM Once again
