Just waiting to see if the bonnett wants to play tommorrow , just gota blackout the top of it and then polish it and put on badges hook up the headlights and we are done . Fired up the motor last night and she chugged a bit and then hummed like a bought one , i don't even know what else i'm gona bring yet ?
All that REALLY matters to me is i'm gona see all my fello mates from here and one's i've made over time , see you's all there . Oh , everybody comin hava safe trip and keep the sunny side up .

Chris are I are heading down sat afternoon, Just finishing last build now for the show

Just finished the last one and started packing.
So far i've packed 3 and only knocked one mirror off...
As always, deciding what to bring was the hardest thing to do.
Doesn't help when I pull down one of my packing boxes and it erupts in a flood of ants - those tiny Argentinian ones.

I'm leaving Satyrday morning - ETA mid to late afternoon.
What's the deal with the pizza night Rob? Do I need to bring anything?

I'm leaving friday arvo , gota run with the overnighters it's a habit .
The pizza night will be at the hall on saturday night , we usually throw in a couple of bucks and order pizza , garlic bread , coke and a stripper . OOP'S Sorry - no stripper !

Pizza night Fred usually involves everyone getting together and just chucking some dollars in and we go and get them and hang out, just bring you and some dollars!!!

Cool.
But if no strippers I'm not sure I can make it...

Sorry , the mrs walked past as i put it on here and said NO STRIPPERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless you want to see a overweight ex truckie with a g-string ??????

I'll get back to you on that one mate...

We are in the midst of packing now and will be leaving in a couple of hours for Tumut. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Safe travels for modellers and models.

I'll make my way down sometime tomorrow afternoon. Pizza is fine with me and any flavour will do. Models , already in the boot, thats the important stuff , now I just gotta pack some clothes up. Look forward to the get together at Tumut after missing out last year. See you guys tomorrow!

Man, spewin!! Wish I was a bit closer to Tumut, but I'm about 1000 km's away Have a Blast all attending, post pics also please......But none of Scummy in his G-banger thanks

.....Flies eyes....

finish packing the car, then off to Tumutville to see the Burnster and all the old farts I hang out with at these type of events......
and spend up big!!!!!

Fred here reporting live from Tumut.

7 1/2 hour drive was a success as for once NSW police didn't stop me for a chat and a donation (still have to get home mind).
Motel room overlooks the pub and as I walked out of reception to go to my room I was hailed by an attractive young blonde lady in a terrortory.
I thought "Aye aye, 5 minutes in town and i've pulled. Glad Mrs Z didn't come along". But it was Mrs Paul and seeing as Paul and the Mini Maccas were all in the car with her it seemed rude to make a move...

Ahem, anyway this seems like a nice town but I did notice the big "10th NSW NNL 15th Aoril" sign hadn't yet been erected across the main street.
Maybe Rob is waiting for a hand getting it up...

Sorry, I don't know what's come over me. I'm just going to have a cup of tea and a lie down.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay but just thought I'd bash up a bit about the show.
I'd love to take the time to thank everyone for attending the event and making it what it was, a huge success.
Huge thanks to our sponsors for all your help.
We had close to 600 models on the tables and around 75 entrants, managed to raise a bit over $3500 for charity(I'll get work to match it, so 7k) and over the last decade we've donated around 35k to charity!
We also managed to get a heap of forum members together! I'll try and list who was there.....but I bet I forget one or two.

And I know I've forgot a few. So it was a great chance for everyone to put faces to names and catch up, huge gathering of forum regulars.

We started getting visitors on the Friday, had a heap of helpers set up on the Saturday, had Chris and Guy up for Pizza Saturday night and a couple of others stay over. Than show day Sunday, handed out around 40 trophies, 60+ ribbons, 2 perpetual shields and around 70 model kits!!
Tea at the pub afterwards and a great way to cap off a super day!
Bacon and Egg roll breakky at my place Monday morning as usual, Tom kept me company Monday arvo while he waited for his car to be repaired, than tea Monday night with Tom and his lovely family.
Thanks again to everyone that attended, it really makes all the hassles worthwhile getting the chance to catch up with you guys. And I cant wait till next year!!!!!!

Cheers Rob
