TOCAU NATIONAL MEET 2008

[SuperDave]

To the sydney people. I hear there are some boxes of tablets you can take, no dose or something like that. They should help you stay awake...for a few nights

[Dead]

Going up to QLD is too much. The QLD guys deserve cred for actually making the trip down last time. I don't know how you guys get the time off personally.

By telling work we needed a or two day off. You could always work overtime and take some leave in lieu or join an RDO scheme and not be down any pay ;)

I work in availability, so I have to plan my time away well. I'd be too shagged anyway after 2 days of long distance driving coupled with cruising in between. I'm an old man now. I suck.

Harden up mate. I went to Sydney last year sick as a dog and it was wet, cold and windy all weekend(for us Qld boys blessed with great weather) and still had a good time. Get someone to come with you and share the driving. That's what I did cause I was almost too sick to drive. Big thanks to Azza for the drive LOL yet again.

Ok sure, I'll come up and get fired for not meeting my work detail during the probation period I'm on

I hope you guys have fun again though. Be sure to take lots of pics.

[yoshi]

I will add my name to the list, I have been incredibly slack as of late., perhaps a polish up of the car is in order

Come on Rob....do it for Uncy Azzy...pweeeaaaaasse

Big thanks to Azza for the drive LOL yet again.

Always got your back Bren, that's what mates are for.....now, when you coming to detail the Rav :P

Considering the number of QLD members and the number that went down last yr;

Taking into account the ratio and the size of the meets we saw in syd, I would expect no less than 20 ppl and 10 cars heading up :P

Fair call Dave......

as some know, i got back on the morning of the big meet last year, and i didn't feel too good... :(

You didn't look too good either... lol

Ok sure, I'll come up and get fired for not meeting my work detail during the probation period I'm on

Come on Rob....do it for Uncy Azzy...pweeeaaaaasse (De Ja Vu )

Listen guys, I'm not gonna single people out here, but when the Sydney meet was planned last year and there was talk about having one in Brisbane, I do not believe there was a Sydney Member that said it wasn't a good idea and nearly everyone indicated that they would support it.

Those of us from Brisbane that came down certainly enjoyed the hospitality that was presented by the Sydney members. Some Sydney people spent a bit more time with us than others. Mark and the lads that came to meet us on the Friday night, Bill for taxi-ing us through Sydney to our motel, then taking us for the most gut upsetting hot dogs this side of the equator, etc etc etc, you all know who you are...

Personally, I think you are all mad for driving the trip overnight, my personal suggestion is to leave at a sparrow's fart in the morning, say around 4:30 - 5:00. Out of Sydney, you should get to about Taree for a quick bite for breakfast, Coffs for lunch, Grafton for arvo tea, then into Brisbane at Dinner time.

If that was done, I woyld probably arrange a meet point on the Southside late arvo on the Friday to then navigate you all to the F1 where most of you are prolly staying.

Then you reverse this trip home on Monday.

Please think about it guys, I know a lot of us gove people stick for not coming, but we seriously want people to come up. We want Sydney people (and Melbourne & Canberra guys too if they should so desire) to head up. We know the spots in Brissy to show you. We know our way around. We have something to suit everyone. We have twistie mountain drives for people that like that, we have shopping for Mish, and Photo oppotrunities for Dylan.....something for everyone...

Come on guys, make an effort. I understand that some people generally have issues getting out of work, but not everyone, I find it impossible to believe that nearly all of you can not get off work.... There has been more than enough time notified for this for people to request RDO's, Flex, Annual Leave of shift swaps.... please please please please please....

[Dead]

Next year I'll be sweet. I promise.

[SILVABULLIT]

I will also have forum stickers for sale at the national meet as well.

So how is the F1 being set up? do you want us to arrange accomodation our selfs or is someone going to do it closer to the date?

If I can get an idea of how many people need acomodation by the end of this month then I will book a number of rooms and then you can contact them direct and book your room. You will simply ask to book one of the rooms and pay deposit for TOCAU national meet.

[AUR15]
