I would like to ask if the majority of people enjoyed their time at the Convention. If so, then it was a success. For at least a month before the event I had been working on my car, and then in the last week it started to play up. I worried all the way down from Queensland that we would break down and not get there. However, there were no problems and we made it down safely. From that time on it  was up to me whether I enjoyed the weekend or not.  I didn't care that I couldn't have a drink when detailing the car, I was tinkering with it. I didn't care where we ate at night, I was socialising with fellow Corvetters. I didn't care if the Show & Shine went until 3pm, I was looking at beautiful Vettes and talking to other fanatical Corvetters.  This was my 3rd Convention and it was no better or worse than the others for the simple reason that it was up to me whether I enjoyed it or not, and nothing short of death could have kept me away. The weather was fantastic (all the Queensland contingent brought that with them). On our trip home our group all said that they had a terrific time and were enthusiastic for the next one. From the time we drove in, to the time we said our good-byes, we were made welcome by all we met. I would personally like to congratulate Garry and his team for putting on a great event. ;27

I'm glad to read that a number of you had a great time, as we did.
As someone who was involved in helping organise the convention, at the end, (speaking for myself) I appreciate your comments and the earlier constructive feedback on this thread.
The constructive comments will allow for planning to
be easier for those organising future conventions, and I hope there will be no further need for any negatives, as they add nothing to the process.

:D

Jonny,after 30 years in a band you probably know and understand the joke from  "good morning vietnam" where major bob  from the artillery rings up the DJ request line and says "i don't care what you play,just play it LOUD"....LOL  ;27;27;27;27GREETINGS FROM A TONE DEAF OLD ROCKER....john i was at the joe cocker concert in melb(his first)where he was so p#issed and stoned he fell off the stage twice still holding the mike and "singing" while  the band kept playing.....so long ago he had hair and didn't need to keep his hat on......
