Update Feb 15th: Motels have limited accommodation left - a fresh regional check is being done this week..and listed in the MOTELS link above.
     Decision to do a huge aerial shot using a helicopter over around 60 vehicles bringing in the Chevy Bowtie & Pontiac V logos..underlined with a 30 mtr banner of The Muscle Car Lives... a image if done right will stamp the time & location -  and go around the world automotive world - like the last one we did in 1988. Special thanks there to a few above the cut guys who are helping on this. More details for entrants in the Nats program being mailed out on March 12th to paid entrants.
     We welcome the decision by Tumut Bowling Club to be open Good Friday evening for dinner service with good food. Its was the larger capacity venue needed as most places now are closed on Good Friday around the country.
     Fifty street vertical banners have been ordered.. covering Chevrolet, Pontiac, Firebird,  Camaro with the CFUSNats logo over it. These will we used though the weekend.. and auctioned off on Sunday night to help recoup some funds.
     350 Nats shirts have arrived ex the US and in place.. left overs are being sold off at the event. Every paid entrant gets one included. Those that have seen them . particularly the women who know more then most blokes about fabrics.. commented on the quality.
     Nats vehicle awards.. are being prepared as we speak. Something different.
 * * For those that may be time tight over Easter...which many are.... and want to enter for the Saturday afternoons street show.. please contact Dave via cfusnats@gmail.com

Friday 19th Update.. 5 weeks to go.

..just notes....
   *  The large image of the LOGO for the  Camaro Firebird Nationals is now set to be made for the overhead street banner in Wynyard Street Tumut..will be up in apparently 3 weeks time...
   * Few more feather banners also being made..restricted to 15 for use at the Nats and eventually auctioned on Sunday night. 
    * Locked in the judging list as shown on the site. Awards now being produced to match the list.
    * The Entire Saturday nights outlays have now been paid up in full and covered well in advance .and .... The Talbingo Sunday Run 3 is looking interesting as is the the Adelong Gold mine tours & good folk helping.. they  have  the sponsorship of the NRMA .. . The Turf Club has been paid for chair hire for the railway station sit out Friday night and Saturday morning.. well n advance.
    * The Montreal Theaters all paid... Over 300 Event T-Shirts have arrived from the USA all paid for.  The SES who are helping out voluntarily over the weekend ... expecting to help them if possible.
    * New shop posters showing " Coming Events" shop /notice board posters have been printed and dispatched yesterday to the council offices.. these might be a collectors item in years to come..  Tickets for the Saturday night printed.. Sundays numbered tour tickets done..wrist bands done..   
    * Lots of people still to pay but so be it.. hopefully they will.    Car numbers now over 110.. I'd sent out to many early entrants #'s to run in  sinc with their cars year.. and now falling back & filling up the holes with simply the next entry in so within maybe 2 weeks we'll get closer to the 150 mark number and in fact the ceiling of the event.  Better to have enough then too many..better people are looked after then herded  just can't cater for too many realistically. 
   * Meals for people with special needs will be available on Sunday night. Dinner Sunday is a hot Buffet..
    * Not much if ... any motels left with empty beds now either with this and other events in the region happening.... looks good for the townsfolk.
    * Next weekend will payout the caters in advance for about 300 people.... and the other half of the costs behind Sundays entertainment.. and remaining odds and ends continue to be covered.
     * Incase of crook weather Sunday.. the theater is running the movie "The Dressmaker" at 2pm.. $10 a head..  a chick flick but.. also on for those wanting out of the car stuff too..
   
Slowly.. little steps... getting there.
