Back tonight from Tumut.. in long term preparation for the Easter 2018 Camaro Firebird & US Muscle Car Nationals.
   Attended an event at an alternate Sunday night venue that can hold 300 at a pinch.. its secure..  entire venue is ours.. it's a club.. Licensed.. booze bus.. pokies.. has a good fully visible see though walled.. sound proof childrens activities area which was needed in 2016 by some.. not a lot..but younger enthusiasts need the support like this.   The venue has a 60 person outdoor's verandah for all night smokers tables, PA reaches them..  and the venue is weather proof. Caters brought in for the Sunday evening dinner. Might sound like nothing important but trying entrants have enought to spend money on with fuel and accoomdation  .. so as always  trying to keep the costs under control so ordinary people can attend  is important.. It's still $110 for a couple.
    See cfusnats.com for further updates.

    The people who have preentered.. will this week get in the mail the first of the carded confirmations.. and a short letter with it..
    Anybody who is looking for accommodation.. I did the rounds again .. and ONE place has 4 rooms available . right in the main drag  Ashton Town House  02 6947 1999 - Not the cheapest but quality & absolute dead center in CBD..  4 rooms available as of this date.
     Friday March 30, 31, Sunday April 1st till late.​.. 2018

      Driving today.. from Tumut to Adelong.. Batlow.. Tumbarumba..up a apple plantation and had a walk around.. "The Sugar Pine Walk".. lunch out on the street deck of a Tumbarumba Pizza joint.. then 20kms up the road to Paddy's Falls..to see it for the first time ever.. .. You know.. It was hard to turn the car around and head for home.. bloody lovely country we live in .. just gotta get out and see it....!


​   

PS.. While in Tumut.. found out where Elvis moved too.. good show too.......Met him.. thank you very much ...

SUNDAY NIGHT 10/12.. a Motel room vacancy just occurred.. Dble bed room etc.. right in the center of town.. 4 start place.. Ashton Townhouse Motel (02) 6947 1999 (Ex Steve Rigby & Kym moving up to far north coast will not be making it down now.)  If you need a room.. get on it.

How long is since your seen the 1975 classic ALOHA BOBBY & ROSE in a Big Older theater..?? Probably one of the better car culture movies of our time and featuring a fairly new guy's soundtrack.. some guy called Elton.....with Benny & the Jets...   I remember back in the  day.... seeing it at several theater.. and when  the Benny & the Jets sound track came on.. the audience pumping /stomping into the floor and signing along..   Some may need to watch our blood pressure this time around but....
Entry is covered for Nat's Entrants - otherwise a small theater entry charge is offered as this will be promoted for local Automotive enthusiasts which may help some of them recognize the interest of cars coming to town that weekend. But just to see it on the big screen.. deep sound.. looking forward to it.
   Saturday Night is the Neil Diamond "Diamond Forever" event at the Montreal...with Peter Byrne..which is a major show just for entrants.
   Sunday afternoon April 1st.. especially if the weather is good.. you will take away another memory for a lifetime.
   Accommodation available here and there but at Gundagai also. If your wanting to attend .. Friday to Sunday afternoon.. entry is available but now booked out for the presentations & the town is primarily booked out.

      It's not overly promoted on purpose....   Tumut and the southest region of the Kosciuszko National Park is a hidden gem.. Consider a drive weekend.. probably better for two nights away .. Drive to Tumut ex Liverpool 4.5 hrs.. stay..relax.. .. next day..  over  Kosciuszko via Talbingo.. to Cooma and onto Canberra.. say.. 6 hrs..  it's more like a drive across Route 66.. open road.. great scenery.. old time ruins.. just do it in spring and Autumn.. not  winter.. Should do it sometime..
    In the meantime . there is a week of stuff to do around the Snowy Valley region.. if you want a sampler.. enter...

      In the meantime.. all members of the AMCCA .. especially welcome..

Hi Dave sorry can't make it. I hope the tumut tourism board is taking care of u as u do a great job promoting their town and region

Wish I could tell you about the practice we did in Tumut on Saturday. or something about it but can't.. if it goes off ok.. . it will be VERY memorable for all good Aussie reasons..

This Australia Day marks the Last long weekend before the Tumut Camaro Firebird & US Muscle car Nationals.

If you have an entry in already.. or up till Jan 15th.. by now you should have received a entry # & confirmation though the mail. If not please email cfusnats@gmail.com
As of 25 Jan we have about 22 entry places left.. and have at least 30 people known to be entering but unsure/ unsecured etc.
   As entry is open still .. go onto cfusnat com and sign up. Its designed to be more then simply a car show but a chance to tour and explore some of the nicest parts of southeast Australia all within 75 Kms of Tumut.. and the Snowy Mountains.
   Best time to get there relaxed is later Thursday if possible. as things start to happen from 11am Friday... that only entrants know off.. and slowly kick on till early Saturday around noon for the drivers briefing.. and goes pretty comfortably but non stop till mid evening Sunday night.
   
   Welcome to the AMCCA members that have entered of late.. including the Mustang  owners.. all AMCCA members are welcome..its what makes a great community.
   The Events hosted by the Camaro Firebird Owners Club of Australia, also this year judging organizer's.... along with the help of PCCA members, AMCCA member, independent enthusiasts and industry.
    Going home...IF you have time... try heading back to Sydney or Canberra.. take the drive over the Kosciuszko National Park via Talbingo then straight through Cooma.. its a drive that is pure pleasure.. gods own country.. (or plan it as a  two night club run in the  future.. )

    For those already entered the upcoming Tumut Camaro-Firebid Nats.  - a PDF update has been emailed last night to you. If you did not get it, check your spam or automatic Trash filter for CFUSNats update... or send  a note to me here plz.
   And.. just quietly confident.. that the last years up and down planning is coming together..having to work with a transitional then recently a totally new council due to council amalgamations and booking new caterers and venues after the towns RSL closed.. finding new key people..locking in 18 months ahead entertainment.. and making sure its still there, plus getting facilities and goodies readied etc  etc etc...... I understand the problems & efforts you guys go to with the superb Muscle Cars on the Murray weekend.. which I have to say I enjoyed the only time I had a chance to go.
   Anyway,  if you have entered the CFUSnats... and did not receive the emailed update late night.. email cfusnats@gmail.com and let me know your details plz.  Dave
