Newsletter 2011. 1

G'day all. What a great start to the New Year. Thirty people at the Bar-B-Q at Telegraph Point in January and then 30 people (inluding 2 couples that are prospective new members)at the Mylstom Rally. Our membership now stands at 34 Vans or 67 people. We would probably have to stay at a showground if everyone turned up for a Rally.

The Mylstome Rally was a great event ( see Alan and Anne's report below). Congratulations to all those who made salads, sweets and cheese plates, it was a feast.

We have 7 Vans going on the Broken Hill/South Australia Safari starting 7 March and there are 16 Vans booked for the Celtic Festival Rally at Glen Innes at the end of April.

Quite a number of members are also showing interest in the Rally at Ellenborough Reserve in June. If you haven't done much free camping and would like to give it a go you still have plenty of time to make modifications to your van for free camping.

A REMINDER. To all dog owners. Acceptance of dogs is at the discretion of the Park owners and as such is a 'privilege' and not a 'right'. So that we can continue to take our dogs with us it is important that we obey any rules set down by the Parks. Please comply with ALL these rules.

Ros and I are going on the Safari so we will catch up on our return about 6th April.

Keep those wheels turning.


Cheers for now. John.

Mylstom Rally Leaders Report

Thank you to all who attended the Mylstome Rally and made it such an enjoyable weekend. We had a total of 14 Vans and 15 couples.

We were all able to indulge in a range of activities, including swimming, beach walking and fishing. Some were able to find some interesting bargains at the Bellingen markets. The bar-b-que on Saturday evening was a great success with a wonderful range of salads, sweets and cheeses. It was also a really great opportunity to socialise and meet up with new members.

We look forward to meeting up with you all again at future Rallies.

Anne King and Alan Beake.
