    Albury - Eastern States Van-In, Easter 2012 - Open invite to all

    As we know the Van Nats are to be held in WA this year, but for those of us who are not making the trip west the Majestic Vanners are to be hosting an event in the City of Albury this easter.

    Majestic Vanners Australia present:

    "Albury - Eastern State Van-In, Easter 2012"

    There are a myriad of local Attractions (including Wineries, Breweries, Olive Farms and the Hume Dam), Facilities, Shopping Centres and a full range of Accommodation available from sleeping under the Stars to 5 Star Motels and Apartments.

    AlburyCity are keen for us to hold this Event and have indicated their support to do so.

    The intent is to hold a Show n Shine at one of their nicely maintained Green Grassed Parks close to the CBD. Depending on numbers we may even be able to have some Vans at QEII Square in the centre of the City.

    Cool. Most of the missus family is from Albury so there's a good chance she may want to go down there for Easter. Might give me a bit of motivation to get the HZ ready for rego. Wouldn't be the same turning up in a Commodore powered Hiace or a pimped up Estima (Tarago), even though they are both technically vans.

    Also, I'd be a crap Son-in-Law if I didn't plug the In-laws cottage accommodation in Albury.

    2 couples could share a cottage no worries, outdoor spa under the Gazebo, on a nice quiet street and very reasonably priced (I've been telling them for the last 2 years that it's way too cheap). Hopefully they're not booked for that weekend yet, but get your reservation in quick.

    Cheers Blocker! We hope to get as many vanners together as we can.
    So guys even if your van won't be finished in time, come down check out the vans, have a chat to some like minded people and get some ideas for your own project.

    Awesome mate, hope you can make it. Hope it inspires you to get that HZ on the road!
    Cheers for the link, someone might like to use that, looks nice and is well priced.


    Anyone else want to join us at the van-in at Albury this Easter?

    There seems there was an error in the link I posted in the first post, I have fixed it now, but for those who want to check the thread on the majestic vanners forum here it is again:

    http://majesticvanners.forumotion.co...-invite-to-all

    You may need to register to be able to reply to thread, but it is free, and the majestic vanners forum has a wealth of information on repairs and modifications for your van, as well as a detailed history and van register for show vans from back in the day.
    So it is well worth registering.... as well as being full of friendly, like minded vanners!

    Hope the link works now!

    Karl's been telling me all about this Forum and the People on here, it's all been very Positive.

    We're Planning a huge weekend.

    This is a loose Agenda which we will tidy up as we get closer.

    Friday will be for Arrivals, Meet & Greet and find your way around town to stock up on Supplies, sharing Photos etc. with possibly a get together Dinner.

    Saturday will be the Cruise Day with Lunch somewhere Quaint. Swimming if the weather's warm.

    Saturday Evening will be the Light & Sound Spectacular. Followed by a short Night Cruise through Town, then Videos and maybe a BBQ.

    Sunday will be the Show & Shine and a few Games.

    Sunday Evening get together.

    Monday departures.

    We will have Sandman Trophies.

    Ir won't be over the top.

    It's all about meeting like minded people and having Fun!

    I hope to see you there.

    Due to limited spare time, most of the updates will be on http://www.MajesticVanners.com.

    Hoping that some of you can make it.

    Keep on Vannin'!

    Regards

    Rusty!
