Sydney, Newie And Hunter Cruise And Meet.

[GoldZilla]

Alright guys and girls, been thinking more about our discussions on this thread, and I propose a new date either the first or second weekend of April... The third weekend of April is Easter weekend, which brings with it an extra two days off (YAY! ), but also double the fines and double demerit points. And even though the Stageas usually fly under the radar as far as police attention is concerned, having a whole group of us cruising and hanging out together might bring some unwelcomed attention (Awww ). If worst comes to worst, we can do this the weekend after Easter. It's a bit further away, but gives us more time to sort this out.

I figured setting up a meet this late in the month is a bit too short notice, and I've been busy (and will continue to be busy) with relo's from o/seas as well until the end of March/beginning of April.

So, let me ask you all a few questions:

1. Which weekend would you all prefer?

2: Is Sydney or Newcastle prefered, or somewhere in between (and if that's the case, where?)? I do spend a bit of time on occasion around The Entrance, Lake Munmorah and Lake Macquarie, but I'm no expert.

3. Do we have an all-in cruise once we're at our combined meeting point, or just sit down somewhere and chill out, maybe have a BBQ or whatever? Personally, I'd prefer to just have two or three separate groups (one from Sydney metro, one from Newcastle and surrounds, etc) cruise up together, and then each group just heads to one central point and we can meet and greet there.

Remember to allow room for parking of roughly 10 Stageas, using the rough list I created in the other thread. Please suggest a decent area where we can park fairly close together and won't either give or receive any unwanted fuss...

So peoples, please let me know what you all think, and I will add all the preferred options to this first thread in point form.

Cheers,

Nick

Id be good for the weekend 15/16 or 22/23 April, I might be coming up canberra/sydney way for the weekend.

BBQ is good, whatever is prefered

[AMS]

I'd probably be good for the weekend after Easter I think... I'll keep you posted. Should have a NISMO kit going on soon as well

[neostagea]

yeah weekend after easter sounds good. probably a bbq cause most of us that own stageas seem to have families that will probably come. somewhere in or around newie would be good

[KR.15.YS]

yea definately the weekend after easter i think (22/23)

bit too hectic on the roads for me if you want it easter weekend

don't know if i'll bring my rugrats though

they go a little crazy when we go on a cruise

bbq sounds good around newie somewhere

let us know how it goe's with dates and times.

[GoldZilla]

Updated, thanks all.

Can anyone suggest an area we can head to? Like I mentioned, even though I do come up to the Central Coast once in a while, I'm not too familiar with where we can gather.

I do know that there are a few spots in and around Gwandalan and Summerland Point which should suit our requirements, and if that sounds good to all of you then I at least know I won't need a map to get us there without a hassle...

[beastien]

Central coast is good, newy would be better, but i'm easy.

wouldn't mind goin for a bit of a spin down the freeway

[Terminal]

if it's on a good weekend i might make the trip up. i'll have to check with my secretary (read: missus) if i have that weekend (22/23) off or not

[Talej]

Unfortunately (not that it is a bad thing) I will be cruising around somewhere in the ocean around those dates so I'm out...

[GoldZilla]

Anyone else keen?

[beastien]

22/23 April is good for me

[EGA41T]

[GoldZilla]

[AMS]

hmm just found out I have a weeding to be at the week after Easter. I'll confirm today

[GoldZilla]

So guys and girls, any further interest or ideas?

It looks to be a goer for 22/23 April, so all we need is a clear destination and meet-up point...

[GoldZilla]

How does Soldier's Beach sound as a final destination/meet-up point?

[beastien]

Sounds good to me

[KR.15.YS]

sounds good to me too..

now all we need is a meet up time..

[AMS]

Make sure you take lots of Piccys for me And we shall have to have another when I get my P's (22nd September )
