Port Macquarie Weekend - Friday 29th, Saturday 30th, Sunday 31st October

[Vettech]

URGENT UPDATE

Please be advised that the Gov'ts latest rules have closed Oct as a viable date for Port.

Unfortunately some of us have only one option and that is for the next weekend. Both the Smiths & Fords have moved our booking to the following weekend, which there are vacancies at this time.

I understand that Jaggers may have other engagements, therefore, may not be able to join us, this is unfortunate. But most would agree we need to get out and about, besides if the opening causes a spread in Covid, then we could see further lockdowns late Nov thru Dec and even the new year - heaven forbid.

I suppose you could accuse me of being selfish, but we have been hanging out for this weekend for months, and if only four attend, I have no issue, of course the more the merrier, besides Ray will need help doing the drinks and hors'dourves (he's getting oldish).

So please consider what your personal requirements are, and let Mandy know.

There could be two weekends - food for thought.

LATE FINAL EXTRA

Jaggers has just notified us that he is now available for the 5-7 weekend

Thank you Riccardo.

The itinerary is almost set, the weather forecast looks showery so we may do a couple of short cruises.

Travel safe on your way here.

Thanks jagsi ..Drinks by the pool would be very relaxing and easy to take !!!! Ray

Unfortunately we will be in the Mustang.
That way I can get the zimmer frame in the car, besides the Vett has no drivers seat, centre console or centre dash.
But can't wait to get away, and as MY081 says, even if we have to take up residence at the pool c/w a icy cool Marguerita, then so be it, I'll just have to suffer ...... P.S MY081 you do know how to make them, I hope.......

I'm also looking forward to a nice piece of fish, th8n crispy batter, lemon, WHITE pepper, salt and some nice chips, mouths watering already.

[MY081]

Uncle Doug !! can't make a Marguerita BUT i can order one from the bar as good as anyone !! As for the fish n chips Im with you on that. But will it be as good as Ulladulla ??????

That sounds excellent Riccardo.

As for GTC, your comments are like "water off a Doug's back".

Thank your lucky stars that my chauffeur is not on this Forum or "she who must be obeyed" would make life misserable for you.
She loves her Mustang Convertible.

That quacks me up.

[Vettech]

Haven't you got work to do.....


Oh! and P.S - I should have a Run Number/s for Port by this evening to cover either individual days or the entire weekend, for those of you driving "H" plate cars.

[jagsy]

I thought Mustang drivers would be saying neeeeeeigh to this type of horse play!

[MY081]

A huge thank you to jagsy and Mandy. What a top weekend, lot of fun. After lock down it was just great to catch up and let our hair down. Ray n Joy

[Vettech]

Yes Ray we (the boss & I ) whole heartedly concur.
We had a great time, with a dash of rain in the evenings, fine days, not too hot.
Good crew even though some did not eat much.!!.
Special shout out to Joy 

Nice runs coupled to good eating venues.
However some individuals need special watching to ensure their meals are in the CORRECT order.

Well done all concerned .

[jagsy]

Thanks gents, looking forward to to the next catch up
