Hi all
IMPORTANT- BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION ASAP

The fun weekend is on again, final details are nearly complete - watch this space more will follow.

Tastings on the Hastings is a festival celebrating local produce and restaurants. This will be on the Saturday and NSW Corvettes will hold a car display in the motel car park which is right in the middle of the festival. There will be no need to move the cars as they will be the motel car park already. Hope we can get over 20 Corvettes this year. The road will be closed on the Saturday so there will bo driving.

Well members - what a top weekend, 14 cars = 28 less one (Col's wife had to work), well organised by Richard & Lynn Jaggers, great excursions, restuarants, food wine company. Nice run to Trial Bay Jail, only one known hiccup to date was BigKevs C4, looked like master cylinder locking the rear brakes.
Unfortunately we left Kev and Anne in Port with Jaggers mechanic, no doubt we will hear of his ordeals.
Get onto our Facebook page to view pics taken over the weekend. We had members from Medowie and Ulladulah, great to see new faces.

Its great to see the Corvette fraternity, which is made up of old, young, workers, tradies, business owners and we even had two old retirement home people there as well, they all got along great guns. Cant wait till Nelson Bay.
