Calling all Melbourne based members. Are you interested in a get together for a chinwag. We'll try for either 24/8 or 31/8. Location to be advised but suggestions welcome.
No need to bring the beddie, it's just an informal gathering to get to know each other, swap stories and built our network.
Interested?? post which date suits you best and suggestion for a location.
-
I'm interested, 31st may be better.
I'm in Ringwood east but willing to travel.
Warren
-
I'm in, just need further details. I am in Ringwood North.
-
ill be in!!!! any day of the week ill be in!!!!
ill ask a few beddy friends too!!
31st works great!!
cheers
ben
-
Guys Ben has a few beddie friends coming along as well so it looks like it needs to be in the East. Any ideas. Prefer somewhere where we can have a bbq.
-
i have 8 people coming so far.. and i have not got hold of everyone yet.. so hopefully more.
ben
-
I'm in if i'm still here.
-
If I am still here and south easten suburbs aren't too far away your more than welcome here. I have a BBQ and quite a large undercover patio.
-
that sounds great!!! if it works for others!
-
Hey Doof what suburb?
-
Frankston if thats cool with everyone???
-
Frankston? do they still have the pancake place there?mmmmmm...pancakes :P
-
I think so
-
Doof If you are still in Melbourne and if your ok with us trash.. um arh barbqueing your house oops at your house that would be great.
-
Frankston works for me :D
-
My house has seen a lot worse trust me!!
-
franskton works awsesome for me!! and works excelent for all the people ive got coming..
cheers
ben
-
I should be able to make it:) Sundays are normally work tho, so i will see on my roster when its released:). Obviously im the ONLY person with a beddy on the western side:) lol
-
31st sounds ok to me and will only come in a bedi, but not to keen on 2hrs travel with Mystic at the moment as i can't afford the fuel for a 4 hr round trip, more central for everyone would be better. Going on where people are from maybe somewhere like Woodlands park in Essendon,. Just a suggestion. I think it is better to be seen out in public rather than going to some ones house and hidding. Maybe share the venues around after we have all met doing north, south ,east and west venues, making it fare for everyone.
-
Oh,by the way i live 75 km's north of Melbourne
-
good point about a public place vanner..
i live 250kms south east of melb..
ben
-
Gee i hope i havn't thrown a spanner in the works for a get together, who's going to make the decision for where we meet?
-
i think we could definatly go a bit closer toward the city.. frankston is a fair way out for you northern guys.. and vanners point about being seen in a public place is definatly a good one..
um im not making the decision haha
craig can..
ben
-
Yeah i'm sweet with anywhere
-
so you gunna be round doofhard?? cool!!!!
-
Just a suggestion but if you could get to the exhibition centre in melbourne theres plenty of backdrop for photos and a tea rooms too,where they hold the hot rod show.
Or should I shut up and stay on my side of the country?
-
Yeah I don't know Ben, when this W.A work called me up last month they said it would be starting at the end of last month start of this one. I think both of them have been past so who knows.
-
ok cool..
-
How about Eastlands Shopping Centre carpark? or Sophia's restaurant or McDonalds in Croydon, Ringwood is accessable from the eastern freeway for northerners and the new east link for southerners, only there is a toll for using east link, (about $5). Sophias has pretty good pastas at a reasonable price or Maccas opposite, there is also the Croydon Hotel carpark nearby, Eastlands carpark is undercover if its raining.
-
oh forgot to add, hey ben I got room at my joint if the vanners want to stay over and we live in a Court .... make a decision cause I ain't run it past the missus yet ;)
-
I personally am not fussed where it is. I think we should take into account our lovely weather of late and maybe an indoor venue would be better. Maccas - not for me, Sophia's or the like would be ok.
I'm happy with Ringwood for this get together. Next one will be on the other side of Melbourne.
If we make it for 12.30 for lunch at Sophia's? Is everyone happy with that?
-
Parking could be a problem at Sophia's. I have a suggestion, i am president of the Van Council of Victoria and i have the keys for the clubrooms of the Vic Hot Rod Assoc clubrooms. There is plenty of parking and we have an indoor venue if it is raining. If anyone has DVD's or Video's of Bedi's we are able to watch them. The rooms are located on Warragul rd in Oakliegh. There are different take away places nearby. What do people think?
-
Great idea!
-
Best we make a decision by next friday night (22nd) for the 31st august
-
The club rooms in Oakliegh sound like the spot
Warren
-
Vanner,
Is there a Van Council of NSW? Do you know of any van clubs in NSW?
Cheers
Jock
-
i am in favor of oakliegh..
how about. anyone not in favor of vanners sugestion????????
speak now or forever hold your peace!!
ben
-
sounds like a likely spot, can we do a barbie?
-
I like the idea of Oakleigh. What about that place we stopped for our BBQ on that run James? Or Blackrock Closer city wise?
-
There is a BBQ there, so i will bring a bottle of gas and utensils, everyone bring there own food and drinks.
How about we meet before that so we can all cruise together to the rooms.
Suggestion to meet at Dan Murphy's car park on princes hwy in Malvern East , melways ref 68 f1 at 12 noon leaving at 12.30pm to cruise to Oakleigh
What do you all think???
Yes or No?????
-
flippen great idea!!
-
Done!
-
works for me ;D
-
cool , lets do it, i had the ok today to use the clubrooms. Have we any idea on numbers?
-
Vanner,
Is there a Van Council of NSW? Do you know of any van clubs in NSW?
Cheers
Jock
Hi Jock, there is no Van Council Of NSW. Where abouts in NSW are you , then i can tell you the nearest club to you?
-

-

ben
-
I envy you Victorians... :'(
I will build the NSW team up, no matter how long it takes my friends....
and then we will have....... a state of origin! hahahaha
I have a few ideas up my sleeve, we'll see how they go.
Jd
-
try by getting nsw to recognise vic engineers.. then get them to allow some customizing to be done.. too hard living in NSW owning a custom beddy.. ben
-
I'm in but withoutthe beddie, its off the road at the mo :P
-
Sweet, we meet at 12 noon and leave by 12,30pm. Just meet in the carpark facing princes hwy (dandenong rd)
Hopefully i don't have the fuel problems with Mystic, if its raining i will be in another van (too much chrome to clean and dry)
-
Jock, i will make sure with a friend of mine that it is ok to pass on his mobile for you to call about a van club in Sydney area. I will pm u with his number as soon as i hear from him
cheers
-
hi vanner could you possibly give us a melways reference for easy finding.. cheers
ben
-
So roughly how many people have we got and how many vans will be there. Might have to bring me new camera me thinks
-
we dont really know.. but ive got about 8 people coming i think..
eddy and his missus, vanner has a few people coming im pretty sure.. craig. maybe kirk, warren, you doofhard!
roughly maybe 10 - 20ish? and i say most people will have their vans/trucks well all but 1 of my friends are bring vans/campers
ben
-
Like big Kev "I'm EXCITED!!!!!!"
-
hmmm poor big kev.. went bust then died i herd.. poor fella
-

I'm Drunk and I like it
-
Hey guys, remember to bring all you need for BBQ. food and drinks, i think there is a drink machine there, not sure so play it safe. Hope to see you all there.
I will bring the gas bottle and utensils
If you need to call me. 0418300470
cheers
James
-
So I'm guessing the convoy would get to the clubrooms about 1pm?
-
Unfortunately I will not be bringing the campa, don't trust the 253, we willl meet u all at the club rooms after the cruze, it is Sunday isn't it?
-
Yeah and the weather is suppose to be dodgy too.
-
oh bummer oh well you wont see my patchyness on my van yay!!
-
Well i hope the weather is kind for us on sunday. If it is raining heavily i will not be bringing Mystic, it is just too much cleaning afterwards, if it is just showers then it should be ok. Please don't be disappointed if it doesn't come out as i will bring it on another run, keep fingers crossed that all is ok.
-
Howdy! My first post on the new site..didn't realise i had to sign up again and was trying for ages ::)
Gonna try and make it down tomorrow - thanks for the reminder Benn..
Was plannin to put up pics of my progress on here, but i dropped my external harddrive and lost all my photos..grrr so look out for a half finished grey CF
-
Gday Mark glad to see you on the new site. Hope you can make it to our gathering.
Ooh so exciting only 1 more sleep to go. lol
-
After meeting at Dan Murphy's we cruised to the Club Rooms that James (Vanner065) arranged for our gathering. In all we had 8 Bedfords today with a lot more members and some new members? who have found BUGA on the net.
A low key day was held where everyone mixed and chatted. We fired up the BBQ and ate lunch and gas bagged.
I'll post some pix once I work out my camera!!

;) being a 1 eyed west Australian football fanatic i don't say it too often
but well done you vics ...now all you have to do is each bring 1 new beddy to the next run and youll have better inflation than the government or the victorian umps 50meter penalty which is usually 75 meters if your playing against the eagles ................

-
Hi guys just wanted to say it was good to meet you all. Hope we can go somewhere more out in the open next time, rather than being inside.
Let me know when we are meeting up again.
-
Hi Tracey, glad u enjoyed it. I think a drive in night might be the go when the weather gets better
-
Yeah it was good, im glad i went even if i spent more time driving there than i did actually talking:) weather was bloody miserable tho, but so happy i got to see mystic:) i didnt expect it to be there, so i was wrapt......i must say when we left i was behind 2 of the beddied, and all i could think was "next time i will be driving a beddy!!!" :) great motivation:).....Just spent like $400 on tools and stuff getting ready to start doing stuff (mate never came to get up driveway...so i brought the stuff that i need and will try next day off).
-
James asked me if i'd seen under the van before, I said no and had a look and was supprised of all the chrome but after I had the look he goes "Did you see the murals?" After another look I was truely gobsmacked.
-
chrome hmmmmmmmmmmmmm yeh yeh!!
