Our Annual Camping Weekend will be held on 10 / 11 October, an overnight camp at nearby Cotter. As per last year, we will be at a private camping ground, with full ablutions, etc, and at very minimal cost.

More details to come in the next few days.

You can bring a tent, campervan, or sleep under the stars.

Who's coming?

We had a great night last year, lets make it bigger and better this year!

I hope to be there with my little gnome

It will be her first camping 'trip', so it will be interesting...

Sorry guys not this year, I get back from a family camping trip 4 days prior.

Hopefully you get a decent turn out

Who else is coming? JP is going to get awfully sick of my jokes if it is just him and I.

Come on, Canberrans said last year they wanted a camping trip, so who wants to come and spend a night in the fresh air?

Sorry. Can't make it that weekend.
I hope you have some good weather to camp under the stars.

PM sent to JP.

Come on people, who else is coming camping? Supposed to be great weather, its only one night away from home....

The annual camping trip has come and gone, unfortunately this year it was undersubscribed by a long way.

We only had 2 families turn up. Great location, peace and quiet, wildlife....it was a shame that we didn't get any other takers.

This event has been in the 'coming events' section for months, I admit we had to change the date to one week earlier due to booking requirements but it was listed there for October.

Hey Bruce,

Sorry I couldn't make it. Our little fella has not been responding positively to treatment of his middle ear infection.

It put a bit of a wet blanket on the whole weekend.

Thats a shame JP, sorry to hear that...I hope he picks up soon.

Just returned from WA (pretty wildflowers) so apologies I missed the camping weekend, again.. :oops:

We travelled 2,000kms from Fremantle to Albany and back and I only saw 3 beetles and 3 lovely original kombis (although lots of Kombi ceramic stuff). I would have thought there would have been more over there. Everyone was driving Toyota, Mitsubishi and Ford campervans or towing the biggest caravans you've ever seen with huge 4x4s.

I took Griff for a drive as soon as we got back (addiction?) and will hopefully build up enough courage to go down the coast and back before Christmas. Possible trip for club?
