April 9th-12th are Easter I believe and many may wish to spend this time with family or going away for a looong weekend so I'm in favour of the 18th or 25th.
Nice spot for a BBQ plenty of parking, rotundas and from memory a little kiosk beside the lake for cool drinks, even a tram so people don't feel home sick :lol: (bad flashbacks of boatrace day flooding back NOOOOOOOOOOOO)

I'd be up for some bowling or looking at the Go-Karts (hip problem prevents me from driving them)

Cosmo Dude · 29-02-2004, 11:36 AM

And we can cut some laps,

mrpayner · 29-02-2004, 12:44 PM

LMAO!! Well.. if you were that keen you can come and sit in the BigW carpark on Friday/Saturday nights and watch people driving past... Plenty of different groups there..
- Falcadores
- Country Hicks
- General Sh!tboxes
- and the occasional nice car..

oh.. and bring some spare tyres.. :wink:

pr1mo · 29-02-2004, 06:24 PM

hehe any sunday bar the easter period is good for me

Vix · 29-02-2004, 09:17 PM

18th is good for us as far as i know, but i will have to check with the Master...

or any other saturday or sunday, but not the easter weekend (I - we - will be in lakes enterence)

go-carting sounds like fun... but i like Rod's idea of getting dizzy :P :P :P :P

Cosmo Dude · 29-02-2004, 09:29 PM

ops: I've already done too many laps

ops:
But if you want I'll take you for a tour while the go-karting is going on

SehnKhan · 01-03-2004, 12:21 AM

I can't believe Adam is suggesting Go Karting after the whooping I gave him last time he and I went. BWAHAHAHAHA!!

--------------------------------
Watch as he tries to blame a slower kart :twisted:

mrpayner · 01-03-2004, 12:21 PM

Hey.. i was enjoying the slide..

Yes.. easter weekend is out for me too... I thought i'd throw it in there though

SehnKhan · 02-03-2004, 11:26 AM

Considering you'll be the Ballarat representative from here you better be around :roll:

SehnKhan · 05-03-2004, 01:57 PM

To make up some more numbers I have put it to the FordLaser.com forums to see if they want to make this a joint cruise. We need to make up the numbers on this one to make it worthwhile.

SehnKhan · 08-03-2004, 12:18 AM

Bump. Is there no interest whatsoever in the Vic people going for another cruise? It'd be nice to know some numbers so we can investigate bookings and pricing if neccessary for the karts / bowling, and could we get some input please on your preferences for activities and dates??

Thank you

Dogo · 08-03-2004, 10:52 AM

i'm keen for a cruise. I dont particularly care what we do, as long as we have fun

mrpayner · 12-03-2004, 06:17 PM

OK.. it would seem that the majority of the votes go to the 18th April being a SUNDAY.. Over the course of this weekend I will head over to the Go-kart place and enquire about group discounts. Hopefully we can muster up some of the boys from the FordLaser forums to get some additional numbers happening.

I'm still keen as mustard to have a BBQ and a race/bowl.

The First post details will be updated as details come to hand.

mrpayner · 18-03-2004, 12:30 PM
