    Makes it fairly central.

    If we can't get atleast 200 cars there it won't be worth running it. I will do some more work on an itinery and see what people think and go from there.
    I guess that is your thread and good iniciative.
    It is only 7 hours form Sydney but a long way from Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania. For that reason I was thinking that mid NSW about 10 hours from all the big cities was the shot.
    The date is Ok, if I moove to Hobart then it will be very hard to me to attend

    I'm still gonna try and come.

    I s'pose we're never really going to get somewhere that is close to all. Perhaps, as said earlier, we rotate it through the states or have concurrent meeting.
    I like the part that's highlighted. Say someting like:

    2010 - NSW
    2011 - SA
    2012 - QLD
    2013 - VIC
    2014 - TAS/WA/NT

    and so on. That way every 5th year is the BIG trip and it gives everyone time to save money and organise leave. The eastern states are generally good for long weekends plus say a day or two, whereas TAS/WA/NT are week long trips plus......

    And the idea of smallish towns etc is great IMHO.

    Cheers
    Chris

    Something I've noticed is that the kids always miss out. A lot of families are getting around now days - organise an event or two that involves the kids AND parents together. It might help get a few more people there.

    One other thing - the first one is always the smallest as the rule. If you make a good event, then it will keep growing throught the years. DON'T be discouraged by the first attempt.

    Cheers
    Chris
