Well, how can I put this delicately?

"Pull your finger out!"

You have about 3 weeks to get your entry form in.  There's another thread here where you can download it if you haven't already got one.

You need to organise a bed for yourself.  You have several options:
  • Contact "The Isle of Palms" resort, where everyone else is staying and see if they can fit you in.
  • Get in contact with other members of your club who are going and see if anyone has room for you to share (this will save y'all some money, too)
  • Get from the Isle of Palms the name and number of the resort next door where some people will be staying if overflow is required
  • Find a long-lost relative or friend on the Gold Coast Wink


Do this as soon as you can - there's always a rush at the last minute.  And anyway, if you commit to going to the Nats instead of umming and aahing about it, it's a great incentive to finish the car off.

If you'd like specific info, contact Ron Cook, the Event Director.  His phone number is also on the entry form.  Feel free to reply here as well and others may be able to assist.

There's 15 weeks to Easter.......

cheers

{Edit:

And don't forget, once you have extracted your digit Lips sealed and got yourself entered and accommodated, change your vote in the poll to reflect your new status as a Nats-bound dude Grin

RET,
      Ive spoken to Kathy and Greg,and they have enough room for me in their Villa.
I am not entering FranCine,or any other car for that matter,but would like to go as a non vehicle participant.
Do i still need to fill out the form?Is there a form for non vehilce participants or do i just turn up?
Love to meet everybody and go for a cruise with a few of you,Craig has said i can cruise in the Poo mobile with him so should be a hoot.
Can you let me know what i must do to ensure my spot at the dinner table,as accomodation is sorted out already.CHEERS........BRAD..  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Brad,

That's great you're coming.  I've been to every Nats held, but my car has only been to the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 8th.  Every other one I've travelled with others, and had at least as much fun.  (Come to think of it, when the 1st Nats was on I travelled in my FE but didn't own it then!)

Anyway, for reasons known only to the banana benders, it costs $60 to enter and get all the goodies if you enter your car, or $70 dollars without a car.  It has been commented before that it's cheaper to enter your car and not take it :-/  That will play merry hell with the organisers ordering the quantities of trophies they'll require....

If you enter without your car, you still fill in the same form, just leave the car section blank.  We (NSW) received about half-a-dozen entries like this before the last Nats, so I presume it will be OK with the Qld organisers.

Looking forward to putting a face to another forum-addict Grin

cheers

Brad, If RET didn't make it quite clear - the meals are catered on numbers. So you must enter in order to ensure you get fed on Friday night and Saturday night.  The goodies bag and T shirt are thrown in for good measure.

See you there Ken

I noticed the Fri nite meal is fish.I hope there are a few cows around for us non seafood eaters Wink .
Anyway cant wait to go and meet you and everyone else,and see some beaut cars.
