Stivva Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The Datsun Owner's Social Day is shifting into gear! If you own a Datsun mark October 15 in your Calendar and head to Bowral to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the name Datsun! I am still looking for companies or clubs to sponsor a trophy or two. So if you know anyone that would like their logo on the advertising and name on the trophies let me know at stivva@photomotive.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris240 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 sounds good.. how about 1/2 to 1hr south of Sydney.... Bowral, Mittagong perhaps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 That sounds good, has the local pub got a nice car parking area, good food and cold drinks? Is there a 300zx-370z forum we can cross promote the event with? I think we should make it after the football season heading into the summer when it is almost guaranteed to be a nice day. I would love to make this a fairly decent event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.O.G Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That sounds like a great idea! I've only met a few of you guys, count me in. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney mike Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sounds good, could make it if it wasn't too far out. I think I've only driven my Zed three or four times since Datsun Day last year. Been flat out busy with two kids now need to help at home when not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 So, what if we made it the 15th of 16th of October. That's a good distance away to give people notice. What would people prefer? A Saturday or Sunday? I will do some scouting for a nice photographic area with a decent pub and car park. Unless anyone has any ideas?

OZ001 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hunter valley cruise? My other 280 just got it's motor reco'd so just need to fix up some rust spots and get new rego, so October will be a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris240 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Unfortunately a Hunter Valley cruise would mean 4-5 canberra zedders wouldnt come being too far for a day trip. If we concentrate on the Bowral-Mittagong area, then youll probably get some the Wollongong guys coming across as well. Im personally no-go for Oct 16th...

Stivva Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ok, that fine so the 17th. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco_aus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Is Monday 17th a Public Holiday? Or did you mean 15th? I could make the 17th, but if its not a PH, I doubt anyone could make it . As for Saturday, well I'm on nights, so thats me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie240z Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 As was suggested, a long time between meets. I am from the Illawarra so a southern highlands region sounds good and hopefully some from Canberra can make it up as well. Bundanoon could be another option as well, has a few good spots for eat/drink and probably lends itself to some space to park/spread out too. Happy to assist if needed Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I absolutely meant the 15th. Ok so if I was to settle on the Sunday before would we all be able to make it? Do we want a cruise or is everyone happy for just a plain show and shine style meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 How about the imperial hotel? The reviews look alright. Google maps shows a bit of parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris240 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Scott, the long weekend is the 3rd and bathurst V8s is the weekend after...so 15th sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco_aus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I will have a think about taking Friday night off to come along. I'll post up tomorrow, but if any day, then yes the 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ok, so now we are getting somewhere. 15th is gonna be the lock in date. Other questions are, who do we want to invite? Just this forum (are the numbers in NSW/ACT great enough) Or is there some other clubs we could possibly ask to attend? Are there any suggestions of the park up space and bistro?

Tj Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Providing I'm free I'd be keen for a get together. Being new to the Zed crowd it'd be great to meet some fellow owners. I've been on plenty of cruises and meets with several other groups and they're always fun. As for inviting other clubs there's always Sydney Datsun Club. Im not a member, but my brother in-law is and they seem pretty active. Or if we're willing to branch out of the Datsun community I'm pretty active on sigma-galant.com andthere might be a few guys that could be interested. That is if you'd have some 70's mitsu's in the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think it would be great to just keep this particular a straight Zed car affair. Or at the very most a Datsun event. But I think we are getting somewhere in the organisation department now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
