Gee Gunna Do, no one seems too keen on t-shirts or stickers, might be just you and me? Tour Leader and Social Director 8)?

Mrs Snow and me are keen for a shirt. May I ask, Who are we 'crusading' BTW? May I suggest "Camper Trailer Cavorting at Crowdy Head 24-25 October 2009" or something along those lines.

Would something simple like ...Crowdy Head Swaggers 09.....be easier to make ???

Thats if we end up there ??




Plan B........if needed.....could I suggest Swans Crossing ( if you can beat the motorbikes in ) or Myall River camp .....

But unless the camp ground itself has been destroyed, then by 3 weeks time , it should be fine !!

Due to the time constraints I am in the process of getting a couple of quotes from local suppliers with the following embroided on the chest area of the shirt.  Tell me what you think.

I could not ponder the options too long or I will miss the cut off time to get them done in time.  Please let me know what you think of the following.

With a gathering this big you need someone to be the Official Fridge Inspector. This title is critical in maintaining your beers at the correct temperature so you get a full flavored refreshing beers to enjoy. This process may take several of your beers to get just perfect.

So I will take one for the team and drive the 1550kms (like I have anything better to do?) to Crowdy Head just to be the Official Fridge Inspector!  :cheers:

Bigjules add me to the list mate.

Now I will be solo once again as Deb needs to work to pay for my trips away.  >:D So if there is anyone in CQ / SEQ that wants to ride shotgun I have spare seats.
Cheers
Brett

Well done Brett, I am sure you'll fill the roll of OFFICIAL FRIDGE INSPECTOR quite well.  Fantastic effort mate, look forward to meeting up in person.   :cheers:

This should inspire others to make the effort and sign up for what looks to be a huge weekend.

BlueBravo unfortunately cannot make it, and there is a few still unsure.

We should be starters.  I am still waiting for SWMBO roster but the weekend has been requested so should be no dramas.

 Geez fellas, this is beginning to look like a must not miss do.

When this weekend takes place, we will only have just come back from Southern Victoria in our TR3A.
Can we book in as late comers nearer the date? Love to come.
