Iv'e worked out that it is cheaper for me to buy a yearly All Parks pass and be done with paying for the buggy. As for the PP I'm happy to pay that to hang out with you lot. ;D

With all the kids that will be there I hope an appropriate measure of moderation will be applied. I don't want anyone teaching me any bad habits.  ;)

That will be a shame Glenn, I really hope you guys can get there. Besides, those kayaks of yours would come in handy at Kylies. ;D :cheers:

OK, as there will be a bunch of us there, does anyone want a MySwag sticker? I can arrange for a bunch of them to be sent to me.

I have avowed stickers in the past, and have only one on my Cruiser, but I'll happily put a MySwag sticker on my rig.

Let me know, I think they're $2.50 each.

Also, Gronk I think it was mentioned arranging some sort of memento, T-shirt, stubby holder, ???. Anyone got any ideas, want to arrange something? Think about the kids as well.

I was talking about arranging Polo shirts with the Myswag.org Logo for this meet, however "Brett" has asked that I put this on hold for a short time  to allow him to sort a few issues.  I don't however think it would be a problem if we came up with something specific to this meet, perhaps just leaving out the Myswag bit, a bit like the Cape Capers type of logo.  I would be more than happy to price up polo shirts with a small embroyded emblem on the chest area if anyone was interested.  I would just need some suggestions for the logo.

I also sent a Brett a note on this, didn't want to do anything without approval.

The stickers should be fine though, so let me know if you want a sticker(s).

Just received some late mail from "Brett" with the excellent news that we will be able to use the Myswag.org logo/name on the polo shirts for this gathering.  :cup: :cup:

All that has to be decided is the detail of the embroiding.

With this in mind I think the "MYSWAG.ORG The Off-Road Camper Trailer Forum" logo on one side, and a slogan to indicate the weekend at Kylies on the other. One that comes to mind is "CAMPER CRUISADER - Crowdy Bay National Park".  Just a suggestion and please feel free to put up some suggestions either in Post form or PM me. 

Most of this will have to be sorted quite quickly so that I can organise the embroiding in time.

T shirts sound like a good idea. I have a few spare stickers already I think still.

We have some bushfires around our place at the moment. A bit closer than I would like.

My missus was told today that one of the fires has reached the camp grounds at Crowdy Head.

Hope all is ok there. Might go check it out on the weekend.

The camp grounds at Crowdy are currently closed.  Hopefully will be sorted by the time we all head up but might upset those planning a long weekend up that way.

It is still a month away, so you'd expect it to open before then. Laith, keep us informed of the state of the place, in case we need a plan B. If it's burnt out and covered in ashI daresay our fairer halves will not be too keen.

No probs. If its safe I'll check it out Saturday. Was going to go over and get some firewood for the big day anyway. Hope there's some left.

The one near us is even closer. Plenty of smoke. Local school got visited by the rural bush fire this morning and was told they may have to leave early today due to falling embers causing new fires ect.
