Batemans Bay Itinerary
The Committee has put together an itinerary to cover the planned events for the Batemans Bay weekend. First thing is the accommodation, we will be staying at the gorgeous Comfort Inn Lincoln Downs about three minutes out of the BAY town centre. Lincoln Downs is a country style resort with much to offer. You can check out their web site here http://www.lincolndowns.com.au/
All members that will be attending must book their specific accommodation ASAP. The club has paid the deposit to secure the rooms and all bookings must be paid in full two weeks prior to the event.
To book your accommodation
Please call the Comfort Inn Lincoln Downs on (02)44789200 don't forget to mention AMCCA for our club discount rate

The main group will leave Sydney at 10:30 am (those with work commitments will join us later at the resort ) stopping at Maccas South Nowra for brunch then continuing on to Lincoln Downs arriving around 1:30 / 2:00pm. After getting settled in, the club will put on a BBQ at either Maloneys beach or Nelligen leaving the Resort around 5ish both venues are only a short drive.Then back to the resort for a game of stick and sample the Bar or just relax in the grounds.
Saturday 25th....
Let the fun begin! We will leave the resort at 11:00 am for a cruise to Narooma about 1 hour south of Batemans Bay stopping at Bodalla to look at the historic Church and Dairy shed (both great Club photo ops)

Dinner on Saturday night will be back in the BAY an a la carte menu at the Catalina Country Club.

-
Kim and I booked and paid for really looking forward to this. Thanks for all your hard work Joe, you're the man! Couple of questions, where are we meeting on Friday and are there tolls involved? Also, will it be a sprint race cause the car is built for cruising not for bruising ???
Danny
-
Thanks Danny the meeting points will be the normal south coast, The Caltex servo at Heathcote at 10:00AM leaving at 10:30 also the top of Bulli at 10:30 to join up with the members from Heathcote we also have some members who meet us at the bottom of Ousley. As for the Cruise we will cruise at or around the speed limit but those that like to travel a little slower (Tony LOL) will catch up at the Nowra stop and so on.
-
:feedback: Can we hear from the members that have to work the Friday so we can organise a time for the second group to meet best to travel as a group on a 3 hour drive.
-
There's also a few who are coming down Saturday morning and only staying the Saturday night
-
Mark, Skye and I have booked and fully paid...Can't wait to get away:fantastic:
-
Ross and Cheryl asked me to post - saying they are heading down early Saturday morning and anyone wanting to travel together - or meet up on the way can phone me (Gene 04211 26003) and I'll give you their number and give them yours to co ordinate direct with them.
-
Itinerary looking good - Big thanks Joe.
Nikki and I have booked and will probably tag on to the convoy at the bottom of Ousley.
No need to slow down as you pass - the Chevy will soon catch up.
Both really looking forward to this weekend and getting the old Vette out for a decent run.
Nikki and Stuart.

:theysaid:
What an eventful cruise, in more ways than expected! Stuffed coils, busted starters, melted accelerator cables, faulty injector pumps, split radiator hoses, seized brakes and keys locked in cars! Further thanks should go to our 'bush mechanics', Ross, Joe, Al, Keith and particularly Mark. It's peace of mind when great people with great cars can safely convoy with the support of such a great club.
Thanks again guys for such a wonderful weekend.
Cheers Bob and Susan.
:fantastic:

:agree:
Glen and I just want to say a big thank you to Joe and all involved in making this weekend such and enjoyable time. Everything was so well organised and the venue was superb.
We really had a great time and look forward to many more good times.
Unfortunately our girl did sustain some damage and will be going to the vette drs as soon as it is organised. Thanks for all the support in Tilba it was greatly appreciated.
Janne and Glen.
