:o :o :o :o
Ummmmm... :shock:
My last comment was to ... "Give the rally some serious consideration and book within the next seven days"

Just received a call from the park to say that all ten sites are now taken... 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Seems as though serious consideration wasn't necessary......all it took was 7 hours.... :lol:
It also appears that all 10 people have in there possession classic or vintage towcars.

The Rally team will have to work on those people and try and convince them to bring the flash towcars along as well...
How cool will that be??
10 vans.. Bondwood, fobbergross and bauxite ( but highly desirable bauxite ;) :lol: ) .. 10 sweet towcars parked up with them all in a neat row. :shock:

The Rally team are currently in negotiations with the park for a second "Land release".
We are waiting on a confirmation email ... but it appears sites 14 to 18 are now available ... 18 will need to be vacated by around 10.00am Friday.
The rest are all arrive Saturday 2nd April.. Leave the following Saturday .
Courtney also mentioned a couple of sites in or around site 35.
Will pass on exact details when they send em through to us.

Just like to thank all those that acted promptly and made a booking. Certainly makes things easier for the team.
Looks like being a ripper of an event. :D :D

Regards
The OTP Anniversary Rally Team.

Hi Marilyn

Met you at Cabarita Beach earlier this year.
Your car and van are a lovely combination.
Look forward to catching up and sharing a few drinks at the OTP Anniversary Rally next year.

Hello everyone ..

Just giving the Rally a bit of a "Bump"
Plenty of time of get organised before this event.
Discuss getting time off next year with your boss.
Start saving for fuel and other expenses.
Finish off the resto or renovations on your vintage van

and

Most importantly.. check the sites that have been set aside for the Our Touring Past - vintage vanners rally .
pick a site.
Then Phone the "Horeshoe Bay Caravan Park" at South West Rocks" on...
on 1300 262 782 – select option 3.
and pay your deposit..
The longer you leave securing a site, the less likely you are to get a site with /near the rest of the Vintage Van group.

This rally is being organised to .."Ä" Celebrate the 8th Anniversary of "www.öurtouringpast.com " website and forum and ..."B".. Celebrate all things vintage caravanning......just as mum /dad.. grandad and grandma use to use them.. 8-)

We look forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
Regards
The OTP Rally team.

Hi All
The OTP Anniversary Rally Team would just like to remind you that the months are ticking down towards April 2016....
And with each month that passes by sites at Horseshoe Bay Caravan Park are being snapped up by not only people intending to come along to the rally..... but also the general public.

As mentioned before... to avoid disappointment , anyone intending coming along should jump on the phone ASAP and secure their piece of paradise ...
Costs as little as $50 deposit to get your name on one of the most scenic pieces of caravan park real estate on the east coast.
Just imagine getting up of a morning . boiling up a brew and sitting out front of your vintage van ....soaking up the morning sun and the 180 degree views of the coastline...... 8-) 8-) 8-) waaayyy 8-) 8-) 8-) .

Lots to see and do.. or do nothing but enjoy a well earned break from work .....on your own...with your partner...with your family ... and your extended vintage van family.... :D

Its time to get your skates on and make that booking .!!!!!!

Reddo... on behalf of the OTP 8th Anniversary Rally Team..

Hi Reddo.
Great work with the organising. 18 vans :o :o is a great number considering, and at least its still small enough so that we can all gather in a group and keep it more personal.
Cheers.
