15th annual Old Bar Beach VW Festival - October Long Weekend - Sat 5th to Mon 7th

1
A reminder this annual event is 9.5 weeks away, so time to plan on attending with your syncro. New blood very welcome to join in.
Same as in previous years, I expect syncro freecamping can happen before, during and after the event, to suit everyone's own circumstances. Newcomers welcome here too.

More details of event: https://oldbarbeachfestival.com.au

Cheers.
Ken

Cheers,

Scott

Hi one & ALL,
So with a little over 3 weeks remaining before 2019 Old Bar Festival starts, there's still time to register your interest in freecamping this event.

If you like, feel free to register your interest either here or else even better, direct to me at my email address:
unclekenz@hotmail.com

Cheers.
Ken

Never to late to join the party. Ta. Cheers.

Hi all,
I'm looking to sell off a few bits and pieces, if anyone's heading to Old bar and is interested let me know and I can bring them down.

Queen size mattress custom built from 100mm, high density foam in two pieces to fit a T2 (will fit a T3 also) The two pieces Velcro together.
Queen size self inflating mattress (fits nicely in a T3), Oztrail brand only used once
Also have a piece of foam (not covered) cut to fit behind the seat (above engine) of a T2
VW Beetle pedal car (made from tin), only good for very small kids. Could do with a few repairs, but is functional
Old heavy canvas tent that attaches to a van (has a door setup for access to sliding door). Great tent in good condition, but the floor is worn thin and tearing at the edges.

If anyone's interested I can put up more details/photo's etc. I can post prices if required, but really just want to move these on.

Hi Old Bar Festival syncro nutters attending,
Well it's almost here! Weathers looking pretty damn good too!

Attached is the recently released Festival program and layout plan to download, print and bring along for ready reference.

Much the same as we did last year, may I suggest that yourselves and all other syncros attending might like to take the opportunity to meet & greet with fellow syncro owners during the course of the Festival.

1st opp would be the kombi tagalong on Saturday to East Taree and return, all kombis assembling on the airstrip from say 3.30pm, departing 4.10pm as per Festival program. Make a separate line on the airstrip from the splitties and bays ... expect there'll be quite a few lines!

2nd opp would be for all of us to assemble on Sunday from 8am on the parking space outside the entry gate to the oval, then enter and park as a group at say 8.30am. I believe we managed upwards of 13-14 syncros last year, hoping to do better this time round. 

Remember we lose an hours sleep with daylight saving commencing 2am Sunday morning ... set clocks back before bedtime.

Any questions, feel free to reply, text or mobile me anytime on 0413232607.
Cheers.
Ken

Thanks Ken,

I'm getting excited.

Just got rid of a pile of teenagers that "slept" over and kept me up all night for my eldest 16th birthday party. Time for a nanna nap!

But now with them gone I can start packing the car for camping.

Agree the kombi cruise sounds great for a meet up.

Its good when we line up we can have a chat before the cruise gets going.

See you on the weekend.

Cheers,


Scott

Thanks Scott,
Sorry, had a senior moment with my last post .. meant to say set your clocks an hour FORWARD!

Also remember to stay on the field with your beasts to gather around the stage from 4pm for a chance to win the raffle ... one big prize ... $1000! Have to be present to be a winner.
But if all you guys leave early ... increases my chances! Yes!!     HA!
Cheers.
