We do have six to eight months left in 2021, plenty of time for a National get together. Something can be planned, if it can't go ahead due to COVID (or any other reason), plans can be abandoned (like what happened twice with Mudgee), and some like minded (some may say fool hardy) members can still meet for an RTE.
A get together does not have to have all of the flair (registration, awards, badge, T-shirt, formal dinner, guest speaker, etc ..) normally associated with a NatRally, just a date, a destination and a group booking for dinner at a local pub or club.
If numbers are to be maximsed:
- The destination would need to have as few as possible State Border crossings, the State that fits this is NSW
- Reasonable travel distance / times to suit as many members as possible, Bourke seems to fit
- Plenty of accommodation and eating options, Bourke seems to fit.
Re. T-shirts and badges, these could be ordered (and paid for) by attendees and delivered after the event.
If anyone else is interested, let me know and I'll make a few enquiries.
A PM was sent on Friday to: Gadget, Diesel, Marcus, STroppy, Sicman, Wendy, West Aussie Glen, StinkyPete, Shiney, ST2UP, Yorkie, Abe, ppopeye and Shillas.
I have received acknowledgements from some, but not others. I'm therefore not sure if you got the message (there are still messaging problems) or if you acknowedged, but didn't get your message.
Please post here if you received my message and if you have replied.
