Rear Engine Design (RED) Car Show Sunday 18 April

[MrUpwey]

Hi Peter, I've registered, but not sure if I can get to the breakfast - what time does Marcus have in mind?

I guess if the show starts at 9am, then I guess around 7:30 - 8am....................but that's just a guess

[Ossi Blue]

Hmm, maybe a bit early for me. So don't include me in the numbers for breakfast, but please let me know where to meet for the convoy arrival

[MrUpwey]

I've just received the following email from the event organisers.


Hi All,
We are pleased to confirm RED21 will be going ahead on 18th April 2021.
We have completed the covid safe requirements. The long range forecast looks promising with a max of 17 and morning clouds.
In this last fortnight before the show, can you please reach out to your groups once more and remind interested people to register now via the free registration link. This makes entry more efficient on the day. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/red2...s-141807818001

The show is open to any rear engine enthusiast, any model, any year, club members or not, everyone is welcome. The display area is for rear engine only, but there is ample parking for spectators and the venue has full facilities. Feel free to encourage your contacts to come along.
General Entrance from 9am. If you have to set up a marquis/tent, enter from 8am.
Cheers

I have advised Julien that to date we have 9 registered entries and that we'll be arriving in convoy just prior to 9am.
Marcus R has offered to organiset a good place for breaky/coffee nearby for those interested.
We'll let you know the venue later next week when our numbers are more or less finalised.
If you do intend going, please register and advise here by post accordingly.

Cheers

Just chatting with mates (outside typ901) I get a sense that a lot of people are planning on going. Reckon we should aim to arrive a bit earlier to ensure entry.

I dont think the eventbright ticket is anything more than a COVID safe rego. Same if your going as a spectator or car display participant

[MrUpwey]

I agree AV. We should plan to be there by 8:30am, so I suggest we should meet for a quick breaky and coffee (venue to be advised) and then head off in convoy at around 8:20am.
I've been in contact with Julien (VW Club) today and he will be at the entry gate and will endeavour to get us parked as a group if we all arrive together.

I have a feeling they may be overwhelmed

[MrUpwey]

For those registered and going to the event, we will be meeting for an early breakfast/coffee and then travelling to the show in convoy so that we have the best opportunity to park together as a club group. Every indication is that it will be very popular so we should aim to get there by 8:30am at the latest.
Marcus Ramsay, who is local to the area, has found us a cafe which opens early, notwithstanding we may not have time for a sit down breaky......more likely a coffee and "take-away" snack.

Details from Marcus are;

We are good to go :

Cafe Aberdeen
34 Aberdeen Road Macleod

6 Minutes drive to the Austrian Club.

Opens at 7:00am Sunday, there i™s normally plenty of parking out front (it'™s a strip of shops).

They know we'™re coming.

They do full cooked breakfasts “ and some takeaway muffins etc.

I'™d suggest if your wanting a big breaky get there early.


Don't forget to print and bring your entry ticket issued by "Eventbrite" when you registered.

We will be leaving the cafe in convoy at 8:15am at the latest.
If you decide to travel directly to the event, be there by 8:30am and ask the gate person to direct you to the TYP901 spot.
Unfortunately, we won't be displaying our club banner, so please wear your club cap if you have one.....I'll bring along some spares.

I'll be emailing this message to those who have registered to date.
