little bit early off the mark, but it will give us all a chance to get organised for meeting spots etc. starts Tuesday 17-Apr-07 ..
not allot of info up on http://www.targa.org.au yet. but keep an eye on the "media kit" for the courses etc.
g-town prolouge on 17th and new beaconsfield stage on 18th ....lots of room here for parking if anyone wants to come to the beaconsfield stage.

Not sure yet ol boy, all i know is that i'm comming. hehe, sure Brackie will fill us in soon enuff on the fine details

Guys, the cottage sleeps 8 but 2 bedrooms have double beds. Because of fire safety regulations we can't really exceed that number. To cover costs (laundry, heating, cleaning and general expenditure) we need to charge you $20 each per night. There's no profit in this except for the carton of beer for Brackie ;) . There is other accommodation in the area that we can enquire about for you, but Targa weekend is usually pretty solidly booked (we turned away bookings to keep it clear for Watercoolers).
Two stages are very close to us and although we haven't got the fine details from the organizers yet one will probably include the road past our property.
Our local vineyard is operated by friends and they are happy to have a group of us there to watch the stage go past. It's fast and furious and has been the location of some pretty spectacular spills in the recent past.
We plan to have a BBQ at our place around tea time and hopefully silverbullet can help us our by cooking a whole Capretto in our BBQ oven. Maz and I are milking on the day so our participation will be limited. We would like to have our regular dairy hand doing the duty but she can't get here because of road closures.

So that's the plan. Over to you.......

[Golf_Girl]

I'm pretty sure I'll be there...put me down for two...just have to check out my roster at work. But I can sway shifts if I need to. Shotgun two beds...or the double. :) Should be a good one. Maybe we could all just drive out onto the Targa stage and show them how it's done.

[Golf_Girl]

[PuttPutt'76]

Hey all, this topic seems to have gone a bit quiet. Are there any other options for Accomidation in the area Brackie?

[Golf_Girl]

I'll make some noise to keep the thread interesting...haha...
I can bring a tent for you. LOL!!! Oooh....females can be cruel....

[brackie]

It's always tight on a Targa weekend but I'll ask around for you.

No worries, camping mite also be an option but where would i plug in my hair-drier j: . Anywhere to pitch a tent nearby

[silverbullet]

Would be a good weekend but i wont be able to attend this time. The bosses are both away so i have to run the shop for that week. Plus the other thing is that there is no more golf parked in my shed. Don't wory you shall see it re appear very shortly. cheers

[PuttPutt'76]

Hrmmmmm, well i'd better be quick and say i'll keep Ian's bed warm for him then. Put me down if still ok Brackie :D Just hope the golf still going cuz me think me blews my head gasket the other day. hehehehe

[gtimk5]

Hey people. Sorry to say that something has come up which prevents me from making it to this great get together so it means that one of the double beds is going begging.....
To all those going then it will be a great get together. Have a drink for me, eh?

[PuttPutt'76]

I shotgun the double if nobody else brings a friend :D .

[Golf_Girl]

I am not 100% sure yet but there may be two people coming up with me. So it may be three...I will let you know closer to the date Brackie. But if it's not possible to fit us all in the cottage let me know.
Thanks, looking forward to this meet.
Pip

[PuttPutt'76]

Hrmmmmm, it seems after all my great misorganisational (spelling) skills finally came together that i won't be able 2 make it after all. The guys at the TMCC have moved trackday from being this weekend to the 21st and 22nd of April. Bugger!! Hope all you guys have a great weekend and catch up next time hey.

No problems with beds now! Still 3 left.

[PoloGTi]

Sorry guys cant make it to this one but sounds like the goods ill be watching a stage or 2 in hobart i hope should be a good week of targa tas.

[brackie]

No problems with beds now! Still 3 left.
Guests are out on Saturday morning so you guys can show up anytime after midday.

Eric.... Are you going to stay? Haven't heard anything from you.
Other Tassie members...we still have beds and food. Even if you're not staying we'll be meeting up. The plan atm is to watch the Preston stage go past the Leven Valley Vineyard from the outside of a nice Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.

I'll publish road closure info soon but be aware that Targa totally disrupts the roads around here and because there are only 3 roads in and out of Gunns Plains (2 of which are closed all pm) access is difficult.

I'll be working on Saturday and Sunday but will be around......

[86gti]

sorry, im going to have to cancell aswell.
I have to help set up the audio in hobart for the obese recordings block party at the uni.
I forgot all about it :(
but i will be at the prolouge and the beaconsfield street stage if any ones comming along.

[PoloGTi]

Hey sorry i cant make it up north but being a chef sux lol. But is any one keen to go watch a few stages in the hobart area i have friday and sat days off till 5pm and tursday night off is there some special stage this year on thursday night at the dec?

[Golf_Girl]

Hey...this looks as if it is just getting worse.
Just letting you know I won't be able to make it this weekend either...
Sorry guys. Hope it's not too late notice.
Pip

[brackie]

OK guys. Just forget the whole thing. I've just booked the cottage out for Saturday night.
