NATIONALS ENTRIES

[FE_STD_WAGON]

Hi All,
       Just thought I'd let you know there are 58 entries to the NATS!!!!!! I can't wait to see them all cruising around the Gold Coast and meet all the entrants. ONLY 54 days to go and counting.

Regards Mick

G'Day Mick
Any idea if we are going to hear from host club? I know they have the money as the cheque has been cashed.Doyou know if any info is being sent to the individual entrants?
There are a few at our club who raised the point at last meeting,as to the lack of information.
Look forward to hearing from someone,anyone.

Mick - our club is asking the same question.  Can the QLD club at least send a receipt for monies sent ?
I know you are not personally responsible for doing this, but trust that you could print this off and make it known to the organising person(s).
The lack of information to entrants, to car clubs, in the QLD newsletter, and on this site is very frustrating, since whenever the subject is raised at the meetings (it's raised every meeting)  all we can say is that we haven't heard anything and assume all is well.
I am convinced that many Victorians have decided not to go because they just don't get a warm feel about the whole thing.
I have even rung the number on the entry form and left a message for someone to ring me back - all to no avail!

Only the diehards are coming from Victoria.

For personal reasons I had to cancel my trip to the Nats but waited right up to the entry deadline before making it a final decision (as I was really keen to go).
After reading the Qld. club February newsletter, I notice they are still accepting entries and I might still have made it there had I known this.
Wots going on Queensland!!

  Hey there Mick, can't wait until Easter.  Unfortunately we just can't get SA people to the NATS.  They just don't know what they are missing! Only Glenn Adams (& family) and myself and Greg are coming from SA.  An ex-member who is now into the South-East club of Holdens of Age is coming.  
PS: Well done on getting 58 entrants! ! !  QLD is a long haul for many people. We are staying for 1 week - Wednesday to Wednesday - driving up, flying back (EFFEE on road transport).  

CATCH UP WITH YOU ALL SOON. Cheers  HOTLIPS (Kathleen Textor)

Hi
i am another disillusioned Vic member who is making the trip but are dissapointed so far with the very little input regarding entries and what is going on for the upcoming nationals in your lovely sunny state. A confirmation of my received entry and money would be appreciated! Also being a committee member for the vic club i am more than frustrated on the constant questions received from membership re  the Nationals that i am unable to answer. I am so looking frward to the event and hope that we can all enjoy the nationals. Congratulations on the good number of entrants.

       I understand your frustratons and agree with you.  It is my understanding that information, including receipts are being sent to entrants. We are having a meeting this Wednesday night, I will raise this issue and will reply a.s.a.p. to you with the latest information.

Latest news from Michael.

All of the receipts and information about the nationals has been sent, maybe you have just received this.  I have little to do with the organising of the event, but will ensure to help with any queries where i can.  If there are any further problems or questions then please contact myself and i will endeavour to help.

Good Morning everyone,  Well I rang QLD on the weekend and you will all be pleased to know that the entrants receipts were posted out last Friday (7/3/03).  Entrants will receive their "Goodies Bag" when they arrive at Easter and their entrant number will be inside.  They are very excited about their first Nationals and are trying to do their best.
Cheers Kathleen Textor, National Delegates Chairperson

G'Day All

See you all there.
John M
PS Thanks to Michael for chasing up some answers and keeping us informed.

[craiga]

My receipt is in as well.

Thanks guys, really looking forward to the easter weekend!

Cheers,

Craig.

[customFC]

Got my receipt today also.

Now the big question we all want to know the answer to...........
Will Craig get the POOmobile back together in time?

Regards
Alex

[RET]

I saw the poo-mobile today.  The passenger rear quarter Craig says I can have if I need it, since I helped him Prepsol it. (Actually he said it would be called the RET memorial quarter panel, but I reminded him that I'm not actually dead yet and only smelled that way).

I can only say that CraigA is a very ambitious man, and he's set himself an aggressive timetable.  But he'll do it, he's that kind of guy.

Sing out if you need help, Craig.  Are there any more panels I can have first dibs on?

RET,

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

If the Poo Mobile is to be finished for the Nats my finger will have to be well and truly pulled out. I'm back to the spraypainters this morning to final primer rub before colour goes on this afternoon. Body planned to be home by end of the week, body fit up over the next 14 days, then swinging panels added in the following week.

I'll be at the nationals, but most likely asleep in the corner

Cheers,

Craig.

Craig
Still got in the Number 1 colour

Yep. That's why I'm covering it up as quickly as possible

Here's a picture of the New Poo being applied. The India Ivory will go on today.

Getting closer now!!!!
