I am packing clothes for all seasons ... last time I was down in Melb was for Easter about 6 years ago ... hired a Z3 as well ... and the weather changed so much in the 2 days I was down there .... was warm ... them rainy and cold .... then windy ... then humid and warm again ... then cold rain after that.

Kept me on my toes though.

Is there areas that are undercover in the park there Mick?????
I'll be bringing a couple of decent umbrellas if needed for myself and my other half ... and decent jackets as well.

I believe it has one picnic shelter that the public BBQ sits in and this might cover maybe about 5% of our crowd.

Might invest in a canopy just in case ... and bring a kiddies table and chair set ... just in case the weather does get bad.

Most definately Smoked. Unfortunately all spots are full to go on display, but there is also a reserves list and a few have already been bumped up from that as some have had to pull out. Where abouts in Melb are you located. There is smaller groups getting together before hand and cruising in together. South East, North/north east and from geelong. If you are near any of those, hook up with them through some of the other threads.

Food wise: I will be coming down with a friend (Dennis XD-Machines's dad, also a AU owner). He will be driving as I have a suspended licence.

Maybe he is going to eat the driver : I aint volunteering to drive the car back to Sydney.

On the subject of food, I'm guessing its BBQ only, no drinks. Like softdrink.

Just so I know, will pack my esky otherwise with some soft drinks.

: : At eating the driver Bucky. Yeah, I just re read what I wrote. I can understand your train of thought.

The message was for Casper to say that there will be 2 people coming down in my car.

From page 128........unless it's changed? too many pages to trawl through.

Some beer and wine is ok but you will need to bring your own if you want it. All food and softdrinks will be provided from the $10 fee along with the booking for the bbq area, show and shine and racecars (all free).

Ok cool. Thanks for that. I had thought about trawling through all 128 pages, but I realised there would be too many toilet breaks involved.
