yes a few reminders on the forum would be a good idea. what about in the state related area Kevin? routes and stop overs for the tour are just about finalised.
 
I did quite a few laps around Baskerville a week ago, its a great track and well suited to  the MR2.

All further information is provided to everyone who sends an Expression of Interest email to: .com
 
You will then receive all the booking information through Tas Vacations (we've organised a great deal) for the 4 days of the Nationals in Hobart (Fri, Sat, Sun, & Monday at Baskerville) as well as the group booking on the "Spirit of Tasmania".  The Nationals planning is finalised and just some tweeking for the 6 days touring Tasmania to sort out.
 
I've posted on all the State boards directing them to the Tasmanian board for information.
 
This will be an event not to miss.

Haven't seen anything new for awhile.  Do we have any further info yet on the "after tour" ?

Hi Dennis, all further information is sent in reply to your Expression of Interest.  We have sort of finalised the 6 day tour after the three days of the Nationals, and just waiting for preferred Motels before going public.
 
Of course people are able to "do their own thing" and some are leaving earlier for work and other commitments, and some are staying longer to see things they want to.

May still make this as we are looking at shuffling the Fiji trip. Hope it works out . Now gotta get the Car all sorted before then too.
 

Ferry trip cost is for car and couple but I take it accom is per person?
 

Yes sweetpete, the group booking price we have got is $89 for the car one way and $221 per person for a twin share inside cabin one way. All this is explained when you email an expression on interest to nationals@mr2club.com.au by return email. Bookings must be made on the booking form provided in reply to your EOI email.

Sorry from the other info that was given it was stated that an expression of interest was actually a confirmation of booking etc. Not and expression of Interest. I will email my EOI now but I am NOT confirming attendance yet.
 

Super stoked for this, pity my MR2 is less stoked. Needs some love and attention before September.
