I am quite flatterred to be asked to help run a NSW based convention for the club.
I have copied this post from the Jindy 07 discussion so that we can start fresh.
As I have already said, I had plans of hosting a big weekend in Coffs Harbour in late September or early October and this still stands. Whether it becomes an official club convention or even is a suitable time for people to go is still to be decided.
I suppose the interest shown by members once the date is set will determine if it is a convention or not.
PAN, has offerred to help run a Northern NSW based convention and he and I need to discuss what we can do. (We both have full time jobs and families to consider as well).
If Coffs Harbour is too far away from where you live, I am sorry but it will favour others who have been too far away from Jindy in the past.
If you come from the south, there are tons of good roads to get up there. All it takes is a day or two.
I also had an idea to host the weekend on the week before the MotoGP which would give anyone lucky enough to do both to meet up with others in Coffs and travel back to P.I. with them.
I don't know if I'll have time to do both Coffs and the Island, I'll just have to wait and see.
The ideas that I have expressed here are just some pre - planning thoughts and I am very open to both Coffs at the time that I have already planned and maybe Mudgee later in the year.
Mudgee is quite a good destination as well and I have been out that way many times before.
Pan and I and any other willing helpers, need to settle on a weekend to base the event where it is suitable to us to be able to commit fully to making it work.
Once we have some formula to work with, we'll post up the proposal for consideration by the members who are interested in attending.
I am a firm believer in letting "Those that ride, decide".
