VW weekend at sawtell
hey people
i have an idea it is a show similar to that of the VW spectacular.
It will be held here where i live Sawtell which has become a very trendy coastal town.
It would be held at the local caravan park who has already accepted the idea of it!!! it has a oval type thing for the car show, a hall for
entertainment and traders and is fully facilitised!
There is heaps of cruises we could go on and unlimited leisure activities to do!
what i wont to know is what weekend will people like to come whether is great all year round!!
cheers

it aint just cool its aircool'd

Sawtell VW spectacular...
Good One Rhys....
a big job though...
I believe in the spring or Autumn is OK as the weather at Sawtell would be great, even in the winter time.... weather is great.... a change from
cooler days elsewhere... just like Nambucca...
Its Very Cold here in Scone during the day when Nambucca is on..... so its a great change...
it would be the same at Sawtell.....
so when its cooler elsewhere would be a good time Rhys....
Best of Luck...

I did think it was further until I looked at a map..

sounds cool.
i think it's a good idea to get other classic and custom vehicles involved, just adds a bit more depth to the show......plus more people will
turn up

well i reckon sawtell caravan park would be a greatplace to have it cause theres heaps of room, ive been to some of the caravan parks on the border
(nsw-queensland) and theres just not the room to accoumodate such a thing. Sawtell is a bloody nice place too nothing poxy about it.

Hastings River VW Club used to run the biannual opposite Nambucca, but it hasn't happened lately.
Beware that Donna Pell is thinking of running a 20th anniversary for Nambucca next year, so people might be reluctant to make two trips.
Sawtell is great....love the way the island offshore connects at low tide.

Talking to Luke Pell today-sems there are only a few minor hurdles and we will be able to enjoy a 2004 Spectacular at Valla
yippy!!!!
Bounced the idea of a biannual event at Sawtell (Coffs Harbour) around and it should be a goer.
Luke is also keen to organise a social run(s) for local VWs ie Mid North Coast NSW
-any interest?

yeah, Sawtell is cool! I used to stay there in the 70s at Grandparent's place near Boambee. It's all different now! Have been a back a few
times in the last few years and stayed at the Caravan park. It's a good park with lots of room and would be good for a car display
