https://youtu.be/xbn7r5wn7tg?t=37    .. in the very old restored Montreal Theater.... hoping the walls make this place depth & soul..


      During this weekend.. .....specifically for the Nats entrants.. in Tumut.. as part of the co-operation with Tumut Council..   finalizing arrangements  for special parking if needed.. for the Easter Saturday night Nats event at the Montreal Theater... envisaged now for the street outside the theater  to be closed off completely for about 75-100 vehicles parking.. for the evening.. so  for those not wanting to leave your cars at the motels.. or staying further out. etc.. you can come to town..park in the reserved parking.. lock up your car.. the uniformed Tumut SES is overseeing the security aspects ..  Will make a good photo shoot on its own I expect...  Also idea for those coming into town to eat in town.. good parking from 6pm to 11pm just for the entrants US entered vehicles.

    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.. 

   ANY AMCCA member who wants to go.. inc non GM owners  YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY WELCOME..

Camaro Firebird & US Muscle Car Nats update
        Australia... TUMUT NSW  Easter 2016.
        For those going.. From Noon Friday till Sunday night will go in a flash..
        For those who don't know about it.. your update is here.. 6 weeks out.

       For those entered.. your updates are also on cfusnats.com but you will ..mid March . .get the program in detail posted to you. Please check it. .A LOT Is happening.. Lots... Entries continue and are welcome. See;cfusnats.com

        I can NOT under estimate .. the things that you will be able to do at Tumut.. unlike ANY .. ANY .. club type event we have ever done..or any we have EVER attended.. I can't say what I want to say as the events for the entrants..first up.. but barring crook weather or something we  cant work against.. this should be one of the  best GM Muscle Car family events every staged.
        You will remember this for all the right reasons I expect.. and importantly want to come back to the Tumut Region again..
        If you have a paid entry ($99 for a couple & one applicable car).. you will be posted a detailed program around the 15th March.
