Tipsy, I'll take the spare bed if that's OK, as long as you are gentle with me (ie read a bed time story that starts with "once upon a time)

Cheers

I will be riding that distance, what's another night ?

Pete · « **Reply #177 on:** November 20, 2012, 07:51:57 AM »

We also can only stay the Friday & Saturday nights due to the work commitments.

UPDATE FROM THE ORGANZERS

I took a run to Middleton today to say "hello" again to Jane and Graeme at the Caravan Park. Bookings are rolling in, and they are looking forward to meeting us all. Please don't forget to advise them if you are an additional body in one of the cabins. I've booked into my cabin for the Thursday night as well, so I'll be there on Thursday arvo to meet and greet the early arrivals.

Goolwa Lions Club (Rod Blogg - Catering Manager) are providing a hot catered breakfast for us on Saturday and Sunday mornings for a cost of $10 per head (per day), payable on the morning. We also hope to be able to invite other caravan park patrons to join us, so we can swap travel stories. Rod is happy for that to occur, and I need to liaise with Jane and Graeme about how best to make that happen and give Rod some possible numbers.

If you are looking for hard accomodation and the park cabins are full, check out the many B&B facilities in Middleton through the local agent Dodd & Page. www.doddandpage.com.au I called in today and spoke to Kerry Ruge, their Holiday Rentals Manager. Kerry was very positive about having us in the area, and helping us out with "overflow" accomodation. She's going to keep an eye on our web site as I left her with an OzSTOC business card.

I've nailed down a fantastic photo opportunity spot at the Victor Harbor Golf Club, towards the end of Saturday's ride, and the manager is happy to have us on site. He wants the local paper to get involved, so closer to the event I'll be in touch with the paper about a story/photo at the Golf Club and see if they can come down to Middleton for one of the breakfasts. Everyone wins (Golf Club, Lions, Middelton Caravan Park, OzSTOC) if they give us a bit of positive coverage with a story in the local press.

Thats all I have to update you with for the moment, and all is going to plan with the organizing. A detailed program for the 2013 Middleton OzSTOC Rally will be available just after Christmas.

See you all in March.... Pete

I reckon if you've got a 'Stringo' you'll have a 'Dan' as well - what about StinkyPete and PhilSTer tho?

Hhmmmm. Chris has got to go back to Adelaide for work at 0730 on Monday morning, so she'll head home with the ute on Sunday. I could vacate our cabin and grab a tent site for Sunday night. There will still be plenty of great places in the region to visit, and I guess it would be quite rude of one of the hosts to piss off early.

I should have room in my cabin for anyone who needs to catch 40 winks on Sunday

Goolwa Motor Museum

There's a small motor museum in Goolwa, just down the track from Middleton.
http://www.australasianmotormuseums.com.au/goolwa_motor_museum.php
He's normally open Wednesdays to Saturdays 10.00am to 4.30pm (Entry is $8.00)
but he'll open up for us on Sunday if there is enough interest. Any takers?

phil-ST-er · « **Reply #196 on:** November 29, 2012, 07:03:33 AM »

Count me in

Hi Phil - count me in as a last resort for the bed - but I'll have to try for a queen size bed coz of my height. Yeah - I know... poor diddums!

@StinkyPete.... sounds great Pete. There also may be some interest in the Vintage Bike Club to get in on Sunday as well....

Whizz · « **Reply #198 on:** December 10, 2012, 10:26:50 AM »

Ladies and Gents, it is becoming increasingly likely that I will have to pull out of the National Rally because of work commitments. It looks like I will be going overseas to work and therefore will simply not be here, much to my disappointment.

This means that Tipsy will have a spare bunk in his cabin, and to give him as much time as possible to fill this space I've decided to pull out now. If anyone would like to take him up on the offer please contact him directly to secure your place.

Tipsy · « **Reply #199 on:** December 10, 2012, 11:50:46 AM »

Thanks for the early notice Whizz
An for any one interested the cost is a total of $123. for 3 nights for 1 person
