There was a nice little bunch at Sawtell caravan park last year for the first-ever 'Bi-annual Sawtell Spring Break VW Weekend': Karina, Steve C, kombikid and his family, etc etc. The weather was...umm...okay... the beer and prawns were nice!
Has anyone decided on the dates? etc!

Hey Karina, saw you at Valla but didn't get to chat - my mate and I went home early on Sat...
Anyhow, who wants to organise some dates? Who did it last year? Are they happy to do it again? etc

Good stuff K_k - I thought it was you who put in the hard yards last year to organise it
There must be website or something to predict the sunniest weekend in September!! Choose that one!
Count me in!
hellbugged ·
how 'bout you have a go at organising some racing this time around too.?
either way i will be heading up
mscabrio ·
Yeah if a date is decided soon and you promise some sunny weather Rod and I might make the cruise from Vic up. This time though we will only bring the one bug. Driving for two days on my own is just too much !
RISKY^VW ·

hey same as valla
is valla on next year?

Hi
We are going to work on the dates with Ray (Kombi kids dad). We dont want to clash with anything else thats on. Ray had some great ideas for things to do. We will keep you all posted when its sorted out.
Steve
VWCOOL ·

kombi_kid ·
sweet guys keep up the interest the more the merrier if people are keen on doing something they like doing around the area let us know as we know ya cant please everyone but it is a "peoples weekend" so any input on things to change from the last one is most welcome!!

ray, rhys & steve push for the show & shine in the main street
was talking to surf shop owner last year whos on the board (commerce)
& he was very interested in that idea if you were going to have sawtell again.
cheers wally
hellbugged ·
teams challenge at one of the gokart tracks?
VWCOOL ·
yeahtop idea - Sat arvo (not morning!) show would be good in the main street between the bridge and the PUB! Picnics/beers on the grass strip in the centre! Ahhh, I love Sawtell!
Local traffic can be easily detoured around, too
penguin ·
So is there any guess as to what part of the year (since final dates re still being determined) as in Easter? June/Julyish? etc
sgetty ·
im in again!!:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer

Yeah count me in again last yeah was good fun. Might try a cabin this time after camping last weekend at Valla....I still have gear drying out!
lobus ·
If I make the trip up again I will probably give Grafton miss this time.
The cabins at Sawtel make the ones down the road look very 3rd world.
Steve
sgetty ·
and so do the toilets..........

OI ...dumone ..that idea of a kart challenge is on the list ...racing is more difficult to organise ...a few of the ClubVeeDub guys and Stan popjoy where keen to do some hill climbing ..see what comes out ...needs an organiser &ClubVeeDub would have to underwrite...thanks Dave
Keep the ideas coming ..especially you locals ...need some sort of happening in the old hall Sat nite??
..got a good local storyteller/bushpoet/entertainer which might be the go with pizza & prawns ...thanks ClubVeeDub...
Wally..asked the chamber of commerce about the steet show but where ante it ..blocks trade???...will write to em again...the hot rodders had a nite/early evening show which was different and effective.

Blocks trade??? It attracts visitors, hundreds of which wouldnt be in Sawtell for any other reason. A fair percentage of locals wil be drawn to the streets as well as other holiday makers who just happen to be there on the day. It would be worth it just for the $$$ to be made out from coke sales.
If you get the hilclimb happening you can put me down as secretary of event, i got the relevant cams shite.
VWCOOL ·
Yeah if you have the show in the afternoon, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker can be open for the locals in the morning and then we can all sit around in the sun buying beer and looking at nice cars in the afternoon :thumb
kombi_kid ·
hey peoples a date is set and a website is in the process so will keep you all posted on the events information and dont forget to put the date in your "VW event calender!!!"
cheers

So what's the dates?!!
winerot ·
ray vwcools idea about show & shine in the arvo is a good idea
or just ask the committee to ring nambucca about there show & shine
& how popular it is with the local shops but anyway the grass at the
caravan site is big enough.
go karts would be great but ive heard about the one near you being real
strict & raleigh is closer to sawtell than it is to valla not by much but its closer
& they are a much easier bunch of ppl to get along with.
because we have the raleigh poster on display in our shop we get a few free rides how good is that, no one else does that to display there business.
i dont know what help i can be but im here to help you boys if you need
just give us a call anytime wally
ByronBug ·

Can we have the dates please...

cool Amazer.
don't forget that Raleigh is now a cams affiliated track (thanx to Spectacular $$$), so it would be easier than ever to twist Chris Piggots arm. a teams challenge on the carts might suffice anyway.
Volksaddict ·
Good work Dumone and crew ..I think the local car clubs will benefit as well ..better build myself something to fang around in!!
MISS VDUB ·
I love karting... just ask Amazer!
Left him in a cloud of smoke, i even took the wheel off his kart with me!:P

I'll go in Ash's team. I dont want to be on track the same time as her. Still having flashbacks and nightmares.
