IMD 2011 - Melbourne
« on: June 13, 2011, 08:54:56 PM »
Hi,

I am starting to organise something for IMD Melbourne this year and thought I would canvas some thoughts for what people would like to do.

1) Back to the Docklands for a Display at the Market.

2) A static display again, but maybe over at Southbank near Jeff's Shed.

3) Return the favour to the Geelong group and go for a drive down to their way for the day.

4) Go for a drive north and maybe catch up with the North East Victoria group.

5) something else!!

Terry

I reckon head down to Geelong and spend more time driving rather than on static display.

Hi,

Check the MOA website. Melbourne is meeting up with the Geelong group and heading out to Ballarat this year for a drive and BBQ.

Thanks Terry.

My place is half-way between the Melbourne group and Geelong group meeting points.  So I can choose which one I want to join. 

For the benefit of those who are not in the MOA I have pasted details below:

The annual International Moke Day is happening again on Sunday the 25th of September with involvement from Moke clubs and individuals around the world. The new Moke club in France is really getting into the IMD spirit and the Sri Lankans are going to have to do well to beat last years run through the streets.

Locally a combined Melbourne and Geelong event is planned with a drive out through the back roads to Ballarat for a BBQ lunch somewhere, or indoors if the weather is bad, and I hope to organise a photo shoot outside Kryal Castle, or maybe inside.

For those coming up from Geelong the meeting point is 9am at the Little River Service Centre on the north bound side of the Princess highway and the Patersons will be leading you into the unknown. For those departing the Melbourne area the meeting point is the Service center between Caroline Springs and Rockbank ont he corner of Western Hwy and Hopkins Rd, just after where the Deer Park bypass and the Western Hwy join up on the way to Ballarat.

The two groups will meet up on a back road somewhere and try to avoid the highway all the way to Ballarat where something will be arranged for by the 25th, with possibly a stop at Kryal Castle if things fall into place.


Cheers,

Any idea yet of a rough time we will be at Kryal Castle?  Missus and kid(s) want to meet us there.

Hi,

I haven't heard from Kryall Castle when i emailed so I have to start looking for somewhere else for the group shot, unless we can just roll up outside and sit int he car park. The Castle is up for sale, was sold but the deal went pear shaped, so it doesn't appear to be running at full pace anymore with private functions only.

If anyone can suggest a nice place to lunch in Ballarat I am interested.

Terry

Lake Wendouree has plenty of parking, shade for picnics, tram rides for anybody interested and a cafe that is a little pricey.  Lots of food places a couple of mins drive away.  Alternatively we might be able to take over the carpark of the Autobarn store - PVA owns it and he is a moker.

Hi,

I got a PM suggesting the Lake also and that was about all i could think of too so the Lake it is for Lunch and we can doa  drive by the Castle and maybe drop in on PVA somehow along the way.

Sounds like a plan Terry. 

I'll give PVA a call today, he might be able to give himself a rare day off to join us.  :)

(Another possibility is Sovereign Hill, but the carpark is hilly and not brilliant for photography.  The food options nearby are also a bit limited.)
