Welcome FE-FC Fans to the 4th Bulletin
(as emailed to those that have registered their interest)
Merchandise
The 10th Nats Committee is working hard to ensure the Jindabyne Nationals are memorable for all entrants, focussing on providing a quality event with excellent value goodies bag. Entrants will receive a full-weekend package of meals vouchers (excluding breakfasts & Saturday lunch), official program, event shirt with logo and individual entrant mementos. We're also hoping to provide entrants with a selection of quality 10th Nats merchandise to order prior to the event. We've posted a poll on the FE-FC Nats website, with a list of potential merchandise items to gauge the level of interest among entrants, should we make the items available. Final prices, photos & order forms will be posted if there is enough interest.
Accommodation
The Station Resort has already taken about a dozen room bookings for the 10th Nats. At this time, entrants are not being asked to make a deposit, instead to simply provide their credit card details to reserve the room, with full payment required upon check-in Easter 2005. Remember, the Station Resort has been reserved exclusively for all 10th Nats entrants, we are going to have the whole place to ourselves with plenty of space, parking and a great atmostphere with everyone together. If you make an accommodation booking, please advise the 10th Nats Committee via
nats@fefcholden.org.au Entry Forms
We've already received payment for a few entries at this early stage. As the numbers increase we will publish a profile of entries on the website so everyone is able to keep track of friendly rivalries ie numbers of "FE vs FC's", "Stock vs Modified", "State vs State". The profiles will be a simple chart/table like we use now for State numbers that have registered interest. So far, FC's comprise 75% of entries with Stock vs Modifieds locked at 50/50.
Registered Interest
If you have any questions or if any of your fellow club members would like to register their interest in receiving these bulletins via email, please let me know. As of late April 2004, we have received 75 expressions of interest to participate in the 10th Nats. NSW have increased their lead with ACT pulling ahead of Victoria. We'll be putting together a general information brochure to mail to those FE-FC owners not online. In the meantime, if club secretaries/editors would like to print off relevant info from the website (or indeed bulletins/posts etc) to put in club newsletters, please feel free to do so. (I know some states have been doing this already - thanks guys).
