LOTS AND LOTS went together this weekend in tightening up the screws in Tumut..
SES.. looking after the closed off street for about 75 cars parking on Saturday night confirmed.. council confirmed street closure request in place for the evening as a late request add on.. just for this event.. try getting that done this way in cities or big country towns..
Had local regional radio station tape an 18 minute interview and review of whats going on. Arranged with Adelong pub.. which is 15 minutes away .. to be catering for those doing the Run#1 out to the Gold mine.. and the NWP tour guide to be on hand to do at least 2 - 3 tours from noon Good Friday.. as well as Sunday.
As 90% of food places are closed on Good Friday.. have also as extra.. arranged with Rotary.. for a optional limited to first 200 persons 4pm till 7pm . ...decent $8 per head BBQ/ meat/fish / Salad & tea & Coffee at the Railway station. Tumut has a McDonalds and a smaller Pizza place open and one pub open from what I can get advance confirmations on Good Friday but we need to eat & many getting there Thursday & Friday earlier then dinner etc... .but like most places outside of fastfood.. . .most are shut.. so the Rotary guys have stepped up .. again.. They just did a 2,200 person catering job for Visy.. who are HUGE in the region of plantation timber.. (and apparently the largest container exporter of wood out of the country).
Did other arrangements that will be talked about a bit later.
For the Saturday afternoon street closure.. /Display... Each block of the two blocks can hold comfortably 75 cars each min.. maybe 90 if needed. Have to we aware for commonsense reasons not to park opening doors on each other. .or over street fire pipe outlets. Fire Station which is in town.. is moving its assets out for the Saturday afternoon if need be. Sydney Event DJ John McCoy-Lancaster to be on the mic in the main street during the 1pm-4pm time slot.
Sunday both Adelong and Talbingo prepared for visitors.. more on that later.
Thank you to Allan from Wagga for taking the time to trailer his very neat 69 over to Tumut for a very usable series of shots..
