I've spoken to John Farlow tonight, and apparently the venue was washed out a couple of weeks ago, and there is a good dump of rain forecast again this weekend. Camping may be in doubt (indeed the whole event may be, if rain is prolonged). John expects to have some clarity by Tuesday, and I will report when I'm back in Melbourne on Wednesday.
Meanwhile perhaps some-one (Roger maybe?) could check on a suitable restaurant in the Yarra Glen area, given that I'm out of town. Alternatively, the club will be having a dinner on Saturday night with Fletch, the TV presenter (Ch 31; Classic Resto's) who filmed last year, and will be again this year. We have been invited to join them (VWCV membership status not required) if we wish. I will have details for this on Wednesday as well.
Much as we want the rain, here's hoping we don't get too much this week.
