2020 VW meets ... NSW

:bomb: So I understand the VW Sydney Nationals … end of May 2020 is Corona cancelled.

:thinking: Macksville (ex Valla) VW Spectacular … July 2020 may be Corona postponed … yet to be advised,
see: http://volkswagenspectacular.com/

:anguished: Old Bar VW Festival … October Long weekend 2020 … also may not officially take place.
:star_struck: If Old Bar is cancelled, there has been talk of interested diehards going anyway for a long overdue VW camp/meet, if the distance isolation has by then been dropped, but too late for the organised event to be revived in time.

:smiley: So meanwhile, please think about an unofficial Old Bar meet … round about Long weekend in October and:
:drooling_face: Think also about a postponed Macksville VW Spectacular … might these two events clash or too close together … time will reveal all.
Will update asap should there be news.

Anyone else with news of other VW events nationwide, feel free to post your news anytime at your convenience.
Cheers

Ken,

MackValla has been postponed to same weekend in 2021.

I’m very keen to go to Old Bar as it is an awesome weekend and they need the patronage after the fires late last year.

I would assume caravan parks will be open by then - hope so!

Cheers,

Scott

I’m sure you can - as long as we are then allowed - who knows how long this lock down will take to be lifted to allow travel.

With you there Ken and Scott. Old Bar is a great weekend. If it is cancelled as well that will be a pity. But I like the idea of a get together when the COVID crisis has settled to a point where we can get away. Would be great to do.
As you know Ann works at the local Anglican School and I have been working there as well on a part time Executive role supporting the Principal and the Board. So at the non medical front line I can tell you this thing will take a while to work through the community. But by October it may be OK to travel within NSW. Lets hope so and a big thanks to all the doctors, nurses and care workers out there keeping us safe
Cheers, Peter

I have a Outback Cartrek planned for late October this year which runs from Albury up to the Sunshine Coast via the inland tracks which has already been delayed.

Will be very disappointing if that gets delayed again…

Maybe a weekend in late November might work too.

Sounds like fun Ken, not sure if boarders will be open for non NSW folk though!
