Nationals Update

[fc104]

There are 92 days, thats right, only 92 days till the Nationals.

For those that aren't on the mailing list, please see the Nationals Update below from Tony.



Hello fellow FE-FC Enthusiasts,

THE TIME DRAWS NEAR!

The 11th FE-FC Nationals at Phillip Island hosted by the FE-FC Holden Car Club of Victoria Inc. over the Easter long weekend are getting closer.

The Nationals officially start on Friday 14th April with a welcome dinner and finishes on Monday 17th April at Holden's Proving Ground, Lang Lang where lunch will also be provided by the Victorian Club.  

Entries close with last mail on 31st January 2006.  So far we have received entries from ACT, S.A., N.S.W., Qld, W.A. and of course Victoria.  We are hoping to get entries from Tasmania too, so if you're from our Southernmost State, this will be a great opportunity to take part in a Nationals which is close by and won't be held in this State again for another 10 years.  This will be the 4th time Victoria has hosted the Nationals and also the first time that the Nationals have been held on an island, and so far south!  

These Nationals will be extra special to celebrate the anniversary of the FE's release in 1956 which also coincided with Melbourne hosting the Olympic Games.  Saturday night's dinner will include an Olympic Theme fancy dress (ie. dress in Gold, Silver or Bronze or Olympic theme).

For the 2006 Nationals, we have invited other car Clubs which cater for FE-FC's in addition to the FE-FC Holden Car Clubs of Australia.

Attached is the itinerary, entry form, accommodation information, details of penguin parade trip and apparel & merchandise order form.  All apparel and merchandise must be pre-ordered.  This information and more is available from the website: http://www.fefcholdenvic.org.au or you can ring Tony or Dina on (03) 9785-1015 or 0412 360 992.

All the best,
Tony Galea,
President.

c'mon everyone who hasn't entered yet, there's only elleven days to go to enter, and if you miss out then you're going to miss out on the best time of your life. Take it from me, I went to my first one last year and had the best time. My wife had such a good time she let me buy another car to do up just for her.
   So if you are thinking about it then do yourself a favour and enter.
           Cheers Scott

Entries are rolling in at a good pace and we're pleased to announce that we finally have an entry from Tassie with an FC!  Great to see.  Come on you Taswegians - what are you waiting for?  If we could get an entry from the NT it would be a truly National event - that might be something to work on for the future.  
Until next update
Cheers,
Tony.

Hi all,
    Entries  are closing soon and to date we have 77 entries. Only 23 more to go for the magic 100. Get your entry in and be part of it.  Cheers Tony.                                              

[NascoHunter]

With 74 days to go till the Nats and only 3 days until entries close we have 88 confirmed entries and the goal of 100 FE-FC draws closer!
This will be a first for the FE-FC Nationals; to have over 100 FE-FC's in the one spot at the same time!

Until the next update, Keep Holden On!
Tony Galea.

Tony great to hear 48 FE'S and a record number of entries. Do we love our cars and the nats or What. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers,
Graham

[RET]

I know of one more FE (not mine, my form is in) sent Express yesterday.  Will be there today.  So make that 49....

cheers

[FE_STD_WAGON]

Don't tell me 49 fe's as I so much wanted to bring down my fe ute [stock daily driver ] but couldn't find a driver that would have been 50

Mick

[NascoHunter]

Hi Mick,
      Don't worry we now have over 50 FE's. When we first said we would like to get 50 FE's people though we were dreaming. Well the dream has come true.
Looks like we are going to have about 130 entries. Who would ever thought we would have over 100 FE's & FC's at the Nationals. People should  remember we are a 2 model car club that ran from 1956-1959. Unlike the FX-FJ that ran from 1948-1956.
Cheers
  Tony
