2nd bi-annual Sawtell Spring Break
VWCOOL - August 7th, 2006 at 11:01 PM

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!

yeah lets hook this up again :bounce :bounce :bounce


VWCOOL - August 8th, 2006 at 09:55 AM

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 - August 8th, 2006 at 07:44 PM

how 'bout you have a go at organising some racing this time around too.?

either way i will be heading up


mscabrio - August 8th, 2006 at 08:16 PM

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 - August 8th, 2006 at 09:00 PM

hey i was there
all i did was eat snags and drink beer :)
hey same as valla
is valla on next year?


1303Steve - August 8th, 2006 at 11:51 PM

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 - August 9th, 2006 at 03:15 PM

kombi_kid - August 9th, 2006 at 06:56 PM

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!!

cheers

HerbieBoy82 - August 9th, 2006 at 07:03 PM

Sounds awesome!
I'd be in for that.

Brendan.


winerot - August 9th, 2006 at 07:15 PM

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 - August 9th, 2006 at 07:24 PM

teams challenge at one of the gokart tracks?


VWCOOL - August 9th, 2006 at 07:36 PM

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 - August 13th, 2006 at 11:22 AM

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 - August 13th, 2006 at 01:22 PM

ByronBug - August 13th, 2006 at 01:36 PM

Let us know what date etc
Thanks

Hi

Photos from last year. http://www.clubvw.org.au/vw_winter_break_at_sawtell_2005.htm

The cabins at Sawtel make the ones down the road look very 3rd world.

sgetty - August 14th, 2006 at 09:45 PM

my bug will look different to that photo too, hehe


Volksaddict - August 19th, 2006 at 08:09 PM

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.
