There's an elephant in the room......

Did ya get a pic of the BM in front of it?  Ya seem to have one in front every other BIG thing.


Are we still anticipating that Mudgee will go ahead, or is it still too early to make that decision?    These are tough times in terms of managing the risks of mass gatherings.

Yes, tough, unsettling times ahead.

I'm doing my bit though, working from home, already noticed a productivity improvement, have a home office set-up on a table in our meals area, only problem in it next to the refridgerator, I think I’ve gained 5kg already.
For me unless things generally get a lot worse or the state borders are closed or the 500 is reduced to 50 I plan on being in Mudgee.

Cap registrations at 50?

I've booked leave and accommodation.  I'll be there regardless.

If NatRally event is cancelled, I will be changing plans, I can think of better places than Mudgee to spend a week or two.
Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

I am the same as Bodo , my leave is booked in my accommodation is half paid for so I will be there regardless , I have most of October off and I plan to be on the Bike for that period , if they stop me from getting on the boat there will be a large explosion coming from Tassie.

Reminds of the the time there were three drovers bragging about their biggest cattle drive. 

The first said that he once drove 1,000 head of cattle from Alice Springs to Darwin in three weeks, and didn't loose any stock.

The second one said that he once drove 2,000 head of cattle from Alice to Darwin and then back to Alice in four weeks and didn't loose any stock.

The third one (not to be out done) said he once drive 10,000 head of cattle from Darwin to Hobart in four weeks and didn't loose any stock.

The first two guys were astounded, but one asked, "How did you get the cattle across Bass Straight?" 

The third guy said, "I didn't go that way!"

So Phil ... if they stop you getting on the boat ... don't go that way.

I've never been to Mudgee and if the event is cancelled it'll be a roof over my head whilst I ride places in that area.  Like Phil, I'll be on the bike most of the time for my leave.

 Yesterday Western Australia said it would keep it's borders closed for at least six months which will sadly carry on into october.   :'(

Mind you, I don't know what other states are saying.  I don't even know if I'll have a job then.   :well

Chris and I are adopting a "Wait 'n See" attitude.    If the travel restrictions are lifted and we are both alive well, we WILL be there, but haven't made any bookings yet.

Same here.  The only booking I have is in Mudgee.  I was planning dates either side of it when the bushfires hit areas I was pencilling in and that was as far as I got.

Can't do much more than wait and see. I am hoping it will clear for the Border Run. Already cancelled too much travel.

Only bookings so far are a couple of rooms at the Paragon Hotel for a mate and me.  Like above posts, we'll wait and see.

Are we still anticipating that Mudgee will go ahead, or is it still too early to make that decision?    These are tough times in terms of managing the risks of mass gatherings.

These are difficult times but I have made a booking at the "Comfort Inn Aden Mudgee" for the bride and myself. She will be tail end charlie in the box on wheels admiring my substantial back side. Best of both worlds as it is not a big drive/ride for us, 3hrs?
I do hope it still goes ahead, then I'll register for 2.

Work has thrown a spanner in the works as the company who is to take over our contract area from july 1st has said they "will not be considering leave applications until October 2020 except in exceptional circumstances".  I'm hoping they consider the National Rally to be an exceptional circumstance.

I booked though booking.com and get free cancelation if done  no sooner than 3 days before the scheduled arrival date. At least I do not have to fight for accomodation.

Evening All,

Due to the current state of the COIVD Nation we have made the collective decision to postpone the Mudgee Rally to about March 2021 with the exact dates to be released soon.

While the travel restrictions are beginning to relax it is the individual members social and economic ramifications that have really lead to this decision.

I will ask the state and territory RTE coordinators to endeavour to have an RTE on the 17th of October to get as many ST’s and other nearly as impressive motorcycles on the road for a catch up.

I will also endeavour to have produced a COVID-19 related commemorative commiseration patch/pin to be available for purchase for those who wish to keep their Rally Pin and Patch collection complete.

Thanks for your understanding.

***Edit 17th of October for RTE’s***


Cheers

Chris

Sad to hear this, but by the same token it is better to know now rather than two weeks before the event.

The Park is to receive the news in the coming days, put it will obviously up to the individual to cancel etc.

This hasn’t been a choice taken lightly as getting our economy back on track is paramount, but its a double edged sword  :popcorn between propping up services and business in general and accessing disposable income of many members.

Cheers

Fair call with the added benefit of getting the date back to around March.

Thanks to OzSTOC leadership for taking some decisive action on this.     It's a challenging economic and personal time for everyone, and I believe that the cancellation is the correct decision, giving all those impacted a chance to make the necessary decisions.

We look forward to the time that we can travel freely and embrace our friends.  SA already has an RTE scheduled for that day, for those wo were not able to get to Mudgee.
