Hi MazDragon
We would love to come, and pay an early entry fee, if we come it will be from Fri - mon staying at the site with the ammenities, and having the meals... but if we don't have a van ready then we can't attend...hoping to have at least one ready by then, but as they say the stars, planets and moon all have to align.....:lol: PS am happy to forward monies if I can get a refund if we have snags

I went as a puppy vanner in 2009 to Geelong in a mates bogan-as XF ford pano, and i didnt go last nats because one trip without my own van let alone in a dodgy ford was enough for me. I did however have a ball meeting some really great people, jumping from fire to fire.

friends vans i went with: (apologies, cant get the images to link right)

I'll be there with van or no van this coming year. just as agr071 points out, its what you make of it.

i'd vote for alice springs for the 2012 nats, thatway its inconvienient for everyone :lol:

I'll get my forms and stuff sorted Maz, dont you worry.

Hello All,
As many of you may be aware, we have arranged 2 laps around the GP circuit. Unfortunately, there was a misprint by the GP venue management in their email to us, and what should have been $45 per vehicle, was quoted to us at $45 per person. After calling them today to advise this won't be going ahead due to lack of numbers, they clarified they'd made an error and have granted us an extension for bookings.
Updated Details are as follows:
Cost: $45.00/vehicle (maximum of 2 persons/vehicle). Additional people in vehicle would be $30.00 each. Pre-Paid by 12/4/11 into VCV bank account.
Minimum: 50 x vehicles
Timing 10.30- 11.00am: Registration commences Visitor Centre - (Indemnities need to be completed)
Circuit: 11.00am move from VC to gate 7 entrance to track to complete 2 x laps - maximum 80kph
Activity completed and exit venue: 11.45am
GP Management will supply lead driver and staff member at rear to control speed.
We need pre-payment in total by 12/4/11 as venue has to roster staff plus we need to pre-pay to the circuit to guarantee the booking.
VCV Bank details are:
BSB: Van Council of Victoria, CBA BSB - 063 250, Account No. - 00901315
Please remember to quote "yr name+GPcircuit" in your payment so we know how many vans are booking.

Those who have already paid the original amount will be contacted by the committee for a refund or other use of the extra money paid.

We apologise for any confusion and hope that you will all make use of this great opportunity.

Please also pass this info to anyone you know who is s coming to the nats...

I saw where Ski Man will possibly be travelling by himself, so that's why i put up a post on the Vanning Forum to try and help him out.

Cheers Agro.

yeah at this stage it seems that i'll be on my own for the trip to nats... one or two in VCSA are doing a great ocean rd cruise a few days before nats and the others, well, their vans are not on the road at the minute.

hopefully someone like ambientgoat will decide to come along and get some 'inspiration'

either that or mr mook will be ready in time
