    ACT. Marques in the Park 13th November.

    Just in case anyone isn't aware of this event I thought I'd put up a notice. Would be good to see some Vans there. It's a very casual event organised by the ACT Council of Motor Clubs so I'm not sure whether you have to be a member of a club to enter your vehicle. From a spectator point of view it's usually a pretty good day though. It's situated in a nice park with lots of trees and playground close by for kids. Take a foldup chair and picnic lunch and just relax while you check out a nice wide variety of vehicles.

    It's in Belconnen, next to lake Gininderra. Pretty easy stroll from the mall if the missus would rather be shopping. Keeps everyone happy.

    You don't need to be a member of any club and there is no entry fee. It's a good day out.

    I'll be heading along for a looksee. Not likely to be taking a vehicle as there won't be much registered in our household other than the family Tarago and a 500,000km old Hiace with a Commodore V6 in it.

    As to whether it's an event worthy of a 6 hr return trip it's hard to say. There's usually a decent number of vehicles there but it is a very relaxed affair. I'm not even sure if they do trophies or anything. It's just a nice Sunday lazing in the park and having a chinwag with members of the other car clubs. If you had something else to do in the area to make a full weekend of it it would be worth it but hard to say if that was the only reason you were coming.
    I've got a wedding to go to on the Saturday, otherwise I'd suggest dinner somewhere on Saturday night.

    As for accommodation, I've had a good experience here.

    Booked a 2 beddy apartment on Wotif at a special rate of $250ish a night. Nice apartments with underground secure parking and an easy walk to the Dickson restaurant and bar region.
