Eagle Park Range get together (VIC) - Sat 22nd Feb 9am 2014

Post by Aster » 15 Dec 2013, 7:34 pm

Eagle Park Get Together date: Saturday 22nd Feb at 9.00am

Due to popular vote the date/time for the Eagle Park Range get together has been confirmed for Saturday the 22nd Feb at 9.00am. (I've removed the poll from the topic.)

I will also upload here a 'Enough Gun' ticket or something people can print put on their bench with their name and forum handle for names. The first person there can put a few on benches if they setup early for members to start occupying if they like... That's another option.

Setting up on the left half of the range should be best, that will give us some space to ourselves for a little while.

All members welcome.
Post here or PM me if you're confirmed coming and I'll compile a list and update/sticky the post a little closer to the time.

I'm keen too :D

Christmas and New Years are always such a bastard is the problem :(

I'm sure if we tee one up with a few weeks notice in the new year we'll have a few takers :D

Agreed, too close to the busy season in the last post about this,

Mid Feb or something I reckon, and people need at least a few weeks notice.

22nd or 23rd suites me. Either way.

Can mods do a tally or something for this? Might be helpful...

I've created a poll for the thread.

If either day is good for you, you can cast a vote in both options.

I'll sticky this in the new years closer to the date as well.
See you on the firing line.

A 9.00 or 9.30am Start would be good if it not too early for the longer travellers.

Looking forward to this get-together.

What Rd. does Griffins Rd come off? Google maps cant find it. I'd be coming down through Ballan.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

You're map/GPS will definitely have 'You Yangs' road on it, which runs past the Little River train station.

On You Yangs Road you turn right onto Ripley Road, then after about 3km left onto Gifkins Road. You've gotta be looking for it though because you can't really see the range from the road.

It does come up on WhereIS maps FYI - http://www.whereis.com/vic/little-river ... 3A4946D61D
