Unless my senior NSW co-ordinator makes an alternative executive decision, we will be meeting same place as last year. I've posted directions in the Nats thread on .au (https://www.rx8club.com.au/forum/vie...r=asc&start=60) but Adrian has the GPS co-ordinates, etc.

Adrian, can you ensure all the Qlders know where it is please.

Mike, if you've got a different suggestion, speak now or forever hold your peace...

BTW, we need to leave no later than 11.00 if we're to get there a little after midday to allow everyone to get sorted before heading into Goulburn, so any stragglers will have to make their own way to Wakefield. My mobile phone number is on the event document if you need to check anything.

3ish? 7 hour straight drive from Donnybrook to Goulburn according to WhereIs. So add an hour for lunch and we should be there between 3 and 4.

Cheers

Hmmm, OK my belief was that it was a 4pm arrival. That being said I am working late Saturday (instead of pulling out) and so need to get some semblance of sleep befor ethe drive.

Cheers

Sorry I was not suggesting that you try to get there early - I was thinking about how to organise things this end.. Do we really need to get to the meet point at 10am??? I am not sure that we have "control" of the site until after 4pm anyway..

If theQueensland guys are staying overnight in Walcha,they ain't gonna make the NSW meeting point unless they leave at about 4.30am.Couple this with the Victorian guys intended arrival,and maybe we need to modify things a bit.If we plan to go into Goulburn later we can make good use of the time at Wakefieldscrutineering anyone as they arrive,and demo-ing the Meguiars in the shade of say the Scrutineering bay.
Probably a good idea to advise whoever is organising the street closure in Goulburn to delay it a few hours-say around 4pm? This will still allow plenty of time in Goulburn before dinner,and allow us to do a lot at Wakefield,and everyone can clean their cars there before going into town.
What do you think,Adrian?
Cheers
Len

I agree with Len on this one.

I was kinda wondering how we were going to kill 5 hours in Goulburn before dinner (the locals aren't going to be THAT interested).

You don't need to be at the meetup point until 11.00 really. We just said 10.30 so people would get there on time. Not sure where you got 10.00 from.

If we leave at 11.00, we'll get to Wakefield between 12.00 and 1.00, which will leave plenty of time to check in to accommodation, organise licences, scrutineer and wash cars (incl Meguiar's demo).

Hopefully, the Vics will arrive 3.00-3.30, which will give them a little time to get cleaned up and then we can roll into Goulburn as a group at 4.00-4.30.

BTW, everyone should remember to refuel in Goulburn while we're there, so you start the track day with a full tank. It's possible to go through a tank in a day on the track and even when it gets below a quarter you can experience fuel starvation problems. Goulburn has the usual variety of petrol stations scattered across the town, but I can't remember if there's a Shell (for the V-Power converts).
