Our mob will be there as usual and I'm pretty sure the rest of the "American" crew will be as well. Matt (Sinister) should broaden his horizons and come out for a look see, it may surprise him as it' has a wide range of cars, trucks etc and the cruises etc are excellent as well. Could get some good footage and then head out to the burnouts. Also Sunday is a good day for the day trippers as I believe that is judging day so no one leaves early like some other shows, particularly as Monday is a holiday. Cheers, Neale.

Yeah, Im pretty sure I'll be there, cant wait!!

I'm pretty sure matt's horizons are already pretty broad.... He's been a big help with the burnout comp.
He said he was hoping to try and make it, lets hope he does!

Yes I know Matt is a great help I just meant he would probably enjoy coming out and seeing something different. ie Swap meet and a wider range of vehicles and the western hospitality and maybe get some footage of the fine dispalys out there.

Broader horizon doesn't even come in to play...... It's all money. Not exactly just down the road. I wish I could make it but I am not made of money. If I had plenty of money I'd have a cool car of my own

New job means no days off either.

If I can afford to go I will be there but not looking promising! Feel free to make donations Neile

You want to try with a family of five! Anyhow would be good if you could get out Matt! Any members on here want to donate to the Matty Foundation?

[Shoe String]

Everyones more than welcome ... Yes the cost of attending these events can be very taxing on the family budget.
To those of you who are coming this year ... I thank you... We have a big weekend planned.

Don't forget for everyone arriving on Friday ... We have the ''Meet & Greet'' from 6.30pm ... Licensed bar, Food Hall, Venus Blues Band chanking out the tunes and plenty of good old Charters Towers hospitality ...The weekend is shaping up well.

[OldSta]

Well we just arrived home from the Towers and will post up some pics asap. Had a great time (as usual) and have booked accommodation for next year. I think the swap meet was definately bigger/better this year and on Sunday there was a very good range and number of vehicles on display. Thanks to the organisers and sponsors of this event for your great Western hospitality.
