OK winter sport is about to start so weekend of April 21-22 suits me. As no-one else has put up a date I'll be first, (ok it must have taken more than 4 min to put up this post, Hayden you beat me) If you can make it post up and if it suits let us know. We'll see where this goes.


So Saturday 21st and 22nd, Hamilton 400 weekend.

Which date suits you best? Post up here!

I can't do the 21st April, have to photograph a wedding so money comes first.

but don't work around me as depending on how the wife is feeling as to whether I can come or not.

it would appreciated by the many datsun hardcore that are attending oldschool nats if this event was in may . We are investing a decent amount of coin into this event and will need to save some more.
Cheers

Im keen but cant do late may as i will be I Australia from the 19th till the 27th.

[luke]

very late may? that way maybe my car can attend

[Brnwgn]

What about the third weekend of June think its the 15th as the last weekend of may is the Otago rally which a few of us attend down here following weekend is another rally then we're busy the 8th and 9th which leaves the next one. Which is late enough to let the guys heading north for old school to save again

The whole point of having the cruise in april/early may was that this was the gap where there was no cruise. Leaving it till the end of May means it is only 1 week away from the Queen's Birthday Cruise, which kinda defeats the whole purpose. Not everyone will always be able to attend every meet so i think it's best we stick with end of April/start of may at latest.
