2021 Nationals NSW - Hunter Valley / Newcastle - October Long Weekend
MR2 Nationals 2021 in Hunter Valley/Newcastle, NSW Dates: Friday 1st October - Monday 4th October, 2021Open to all MR2 Owners!!!!! The MR2 Nationals is a bi-annual event that brings together MR2's and their owners from all over Australia for one huge weekend of motoring pleasure. Check out some of the previous events at http://mr2club.com.au/?page_id=36 History:A gathering of MR2 owners from more than one State met in Goulburn, New South Wales in 2003 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the NSW Branch of the MR2 Owners Club of Australia. Many believe that this was the first MR2 Nationals Meeting. It was from that meeting a suggestion to hold an MR2 Nationals meeting in other States of Australia on a regular basis was made. However it was not until four years later in 2007 that a true MR2 Nationals Meeting was held in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. This was followed by the MR2 Nationals 2009 in Bathurst, NSW, the MR2 Nationals 2011 in Bright, Victoria, the MR2 Nationals 2013 in Hobart, Tasmania, the MR2 Nationals 2015 in Brisbane, QLD, the MR2 Nationals 2017 in Adelaide, SA and the MR2 Nationals 2019 back in Canberra, ACT. 2021 sees us back in NSW. We'll be heading to the picturesque Hunter Valley/Newcastle region for a great weekend. It will be a great sight to see plenty of MR2's cruising through the vineyards and open plains. Events - Times to be confirmed Friday afternoon 1st Oct - Check-in at the Molly Morgan Saturday 2nd Oct - Show & Shine, Pizza lunch & Wine or beer/cider tasting at Hope Estate Saturday Night 2nd Oct - Dinner at Lone Star Rib house & Brews Maitland Sunday - Go-Karting Monday - Putty Road Cruise & Lunch at Pokolbin Entrant Fee $60 (per car and driver, 1 passenger free) this includes:

Hopefully by October 2021 (15 months away) Covid will be a memory only.  She sounds very reasonable & said that if someone was to call a couple of days out because there had been an emergency, there would be no charge.

Hi Danny, There is the possibility of a track / hillclimb component. We are still negotiating & it will depend on costing & level of interest. As far as WP, you'd need to check with Peter. Is this the interesting yellow SDUB that was hiding under the house when I was up there? Cheers Shaz

Hoping we can have entry details sorted out soon.
Even though it isn't until October 2021, it has still been a little challenging to get some places to agree to take bookings due to current Covid restrictions.
Glad we were able to lock in the accommodation tho.

Due to Covid rules & some restrictions Nationals will probably look a little different this year. It's still going to be a great event. Dinner function has been a bit more of a challenge. Thought we had it all sorted, but it fell through. Contacted someone else in the last hour & think we may have a solution. Stay tuned for more info. Show & Shine locked in at Hope Estate. With Wine tasting (We know that you are responsible) & Pizza lunch.
