Hey I seen this http://www.mr2australia.com/MR2play/tm.aspx?m=63306 and thought since its a fair bit of time away, maybe we could organise something and make an appearance as the SA club?
 
Thoughts/Suggestions?

I'm moving back in a few days and plan on going to this. Count me in at this stage.

Yep. I'm keen. As long as uni timetables fit...

Yes indeed. Discharged from ADF. Returning for good on the 23rd.

yeah not bad, what are your plans now that you have left?
 
Will be good to catch up early next year as I am away til late Feb..

Tassie would definitely be worth going to. This is still a LOONG way off, but I'm definitely keen barring I still have my MR2 then. There shouldn't be an excuse for anyone not to go given the advance notice. :) 

I am KEEN!! Put me down as seriuosly interested. I have no idea what I'll be doing by then

ok I have created a little event thing on FB for us to discuss etc plans for this, it can be found here:

I have also a few options on accommodation that I have been looking at in the towns mentioned to stop over, but pricing etc, are pretty much unavailable due to being so far away time wise, but if we get a few numbers etc, a few of the hotels offer discounts for car clubs etc...
 

IT’S HAPPENING – Book your “Annual Leave” now!!!!
