For all that don't know, this has been bubbling away for a few weeks now, ensuring a suitable location, accommodation, eat and drink needs can be met (these are well covered), as well as some interesting ride routes are available, yes all are very well covered.
Standby for threads on all things NatRally 2024 related, but don't forget that the main focus from now to October will be Mudgee 2023, although between now and then some commitments from members will be required.

Unfortunately our planning had already begun.
Theresa and I fly home from New Zealand on the 16th March.
Sadly it will be the second rally we will have missed. We missed Blackheath.

We'll miss you two. And who is going to be motivated enough to commission a patch for this Rally? (hint, hint!)

Unfortunately our planning had already begun.Bad luck Glen, from our earlier email exchanges I had a feeling that the stars wouldn't align for you, perhaps 2025 will be a better fit.

.... a patch for this Rally?
Marcus has already prepared a design. This can't be finalised until formal approval from the Shire of Mansfield (for use of their logo) is received. Suffice to say, that (if approval is received) the design will be finalised, and everyone will be pleased.

Thanks Bill, we looked at changing flights but too messy.Unfortunately our planning had already begun.

Can't understand the need for the super-early date, but there's obviously good reasons yet-to-be-revealed.
G'day Bill...I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but it's my understanding that the Rally date changed from earlier in the year to later in the year back in 2017 so what's happening now is we're just getting back to the time of the year when the Rallies was previously held. Yes, it's a bugger having a short turn around time but I believe it was either that or skip holding one next year and have it early 2025... :think1
Oh, and the weather should also be better (and warmer) in March than it usually is in October...
Post by: Williamson on August 15, 2023, 08:54:38 AM
Starting to look as if I'm going to miss my first one after an unbroken record. The early date clashes with the IBA Muster. Can't understand the need for the super-early date, but there's obviously good reasons yet-to-be-revealed.

Yes, as well as the view that March NatRallys attract better numbers than later in the year.

Bad luck Peter, see you at the next one.
You can still pre-order a coffee mug, we’ll make sure it gets delivery. If you’re interested, keep an eye out for a specific order thread.
Post by: Bodø on January 25, 2024, 04:19:18 PM
Oh, and why do people say pre-order. Isn't that just ordering?

Oh, and why do people say pre-order. Isn't that just ordering?
Yep! But wait until there’s a specific thread, there’ll be some ability for a custom mug.
Post by: Shillas on January 25, 2024, 07:30:21 PM
:think1 Will there be tea mugs as well? ;-*
Post by: Williamson on January 25, 2024, 07:36:14 PM
I think pre-order is really just an expression of interest.
Yeah, that'll do.
Will there be tea mugs as well?
No. The KMart website doesn't mention tea mugs.

Forgetting to lock the cabin door will increase the chances of tea bagging though >:()

I do not have accommodation so looks like it might in tbe tent for me for a couple of days.
You poor ol' bugger, sleeping on the ground, hope someone finds some spare floor space in their cabin for you (won't be us though, we're full).

Melbourne tomorrow morning and on to Mansfield on Friday. Safe travels, see you all there.
