Things we have to think of:

Accommodation

Something that gives the town interest for people to visit

Places to see in and Around the area.

Access to Airport for pillions or family who would like to fly in.

so tell us what you think, and why  :thumb

 :phone Ok, After a couple of phone calls my thoughts are:

Location: Pemberton. Has a Caravan Park, B&B's, Homestays, Farmstays etc nearby, Good Hotel with good food.  :thumbs :eat :beer

Great roads for riding close by and lots of things to do and see nearby as well.  :runyay

Date: Has to be moved as it is the beginning of the school holidays,  :well my thought is bring it froward one week to the 1st and 2nd of April. After the school holidays there is too much chance it will be very cold and wet

Nearest Airport is Perth: not that far for a pillion to make the ride on the back

The tree walk at Denmark (186kms) not that far away either. I wouldn't mind doing that one again.

Ok my $1 ( Gee you overcharge! ) worth would be 22nd 23nd 24th April as I will be able to attend I won't have my Kids that weekend  :Chocies

Plus WA schools back on the 19th April :)

Also Monday 25th April is Anzac Day Pubilc holiday so we could all attend that morning a dawn service and then end of rally that day

How does this sound people?

The rally is usually arrive Friday, depart Sunday. But let's be different, we are from the West!!

The tree walk at Denmark (186kms) not that far away either. I wouldn't mind doing that one again.



Yep, one of the options I had thought of!

We also discussed Margaret River, Gracetown, Busselton, Dunsborough, etc... it'll depend on the level of attendance of course.

Rob,
        Yeah, good thoughts, but I think we can forget Margaret River and Busselton. Impossible to park anywhere on any weekend and accomodation would have to be booked now, everytime I have tried to get accomodation with a months notice there was nothing available ( Except the really exy stuff! ) Both towns are packed with terrorists tourists every weekend! However Dunsborough and Gracetown or Denmark are also good candidates. All have accomodation, GOOD food and great roads.

Anzac long week end around Busselton, dunsborough etc  can be a problem as can any long weekend. Inland may be better

Depends which date we lock in, 1st and 2nd or the ANZAC weekend. I think everyone agrees the 8th and 9th is a no go.

What about Prevelly Park?
Just out of Margaret River and on the coast itself. Minutes walk to beach etc.
Plenty to see / ride around just in Margaret River (10 minutes away) or easy to make nice day trip out to Pemberton / Walpole and back.
Caravan Park there has many Cabins with basic cooking stuff (microwave etc).
Alos, close to Nannup ? Bailingup Rd  :runyay
Anyway, My 2c

OK, I need this set in concrete by wednesday....









Just joking,

At least some ideas are coming in.

One of my concerns is the logistics of organisation, when lots of travel is involved. Its a bit hard to do 8 hrs of riding to inspect sites, and meet with local people to get things sorted. Also airport connections and the like.

Been doing some digging re events in Sw WA

March
Margaret River Surf Carnival

April
Margaret River Wine Festival
Quit Forrest Rally- Busselton and Nannup
Albany Festival of the Sea
Busselton Ironman Festival
Also Nullabor Muster, a 3 day camping event 380K east of Kalgoorlie

I am thinking April is not a good month for our rally.

I've been reliably informed by the Manager Domestic and Economic Affairs that we will be attending the 2016 Rally in WA, and further we will be riding over and back.

The problem with all of the above is how to get non riders to any of the above and back again with people coming in at different times.

Maybe non-riders arrival at the airport could be co-ordinated and a mini bus hired to transport them to wherever the meeting takes place?
