4 weeks to go and everyone is talking about Bathurst...

FRIDAY UPDATE -
Over thirty vans have now pre-registered via SMS to 0434-350-407 - name, van and club (if any). There is no limit to the amount of vans that can meet in Bathurst, but our quota for the cheap camping has been reached. Add the word "waitlist" when you pre-register and we'll inform you if there has been a cancellation. Alternatively, if you have not pre-registered, its time to ring friends or relatives in the area, or click on the link below for reasonably priced motels - many within a one minute drive of the showground.
We now have vans from Sundowners, Wasteland, Sunstate, BUGA, FE/HR ACT, mySandman, Majestic, East Coast Vanners, plus many more independent van enthusiasts from SouthernCrossVans.com
We've also had plenty of assistance and input from Sundowners, Majestic, BUGA and mySandman - thank you for your enthusiasm.

If our memory is correct, the Bathurst Van Meet should be the fifth time in a year where 20 or more vans will be gathered together - a feat not seen since the 1980's. From WA's Pinjarra Van Nationals, Majestic's Albury Van In, Sydney's All Holden Day, the VCV's State Van Titles (2011 & expecting 2012), all participants should be congratulated on their efforts to get vans back on the road again.

Unlike the last report, all six percentages have been updated, not just five. Although we're still continuing to put in 109% effort
77% from NSW/ACT, 10% from VIC, 13% from QLD
74% Holdens/Bedfords, 26% Fords/Transits
71% Club members, 29% Independent
