Hi Everyone !

Yes I will be at Parramatta Park, with camera in tow .... I have an offer for people wanting there cars photos professionally done. It is a great offer as I usually charge $150 a sitting plus extras.

I am offering for $50 sitting and editing/images burnt to disc. I will supply you with 20 of those images done edited on a high res disc for you to either print posters to normal size prints.

You all know my work so if you are interested please let me know either on the day or pm me for details and further info. The more cars I get I will consider dropping the price to $45 .... an absolute bargin !!!

I love the old sigmas and galants and would to see this club as such go further and grow ! I am looking to do another Calender for next year same price ! You have all seen my work and it speaks for itself!

See you all there !!!

For those worried about what weather they will encounter.
Here's what I will do.

I have to leave at about 8:30 to make the Newcastle meeting point.
I have family in Sydney I can call to check on the weather.

If the weather is going to be bad (raining, not sprinkling) then I may call it off. Check here for details, I will post it on this post.

IF THERE IS A CANCELLATION THEN IT WILL BE HERE BY 8:30am 23rd MAY. IF THERE IS NO CHANGE I WILL STILL POST TO SAY SO.

So look here on Sunday before leaving to be sure.

Do we go ahead even if it is raining?

I've just looked at Google maps and there is at least 4 covered areas that we can use. We will need to get them early (this park is very popular). The tarp sounds like a good idea Nath76LA, (just incase we can't get a covered area). One good point is, if it is raining a bit less people will be at the park, so the chances of getting a covered area are good.

The covered area I am aiming for is near the Pitt/ Macquarie St entrance. If you come in that way turn left (it's only one way so you can't go wrong) and just up the small rise a bit on the right. It's at the first side street on the right in the park from that entrance. It's a concrete rotunda, with round topped arches, you can't miss it. It's a bit away from the popular bits too, so we should be able to park together more easily.
This may change on the day, someone may already have it. But that's the plan.

It doesn't look like there are BBQ's there. I don't know what everyone's doing for lunch. It will be BYO or there is a cafe in the park (but I'm not sure of their operating times so I wouldn't rely on it). A small gas cooker or portable BBQ might be an idea or a packed lunch. And some fold up chairs perhaps?

I have added the above post to the discussion topic, if you have any thing to add, please discuss there.
