Easter 2013 - Toowoomba

The next MG Car Club National Meeting is going to be in Toowoomba over Easter 2013.
I'm just back from a very succesful one in Hobart this year. See: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=12906
(I won my class in the lap Sprint, and also in the Motorkhana this year :D)

I'm pretty sure I'll be going to Toowoomba, bring the Liberty and my MGA.
The only dates locked in so far are:
A "Concours d'Elegance" in the Heller Street Park on Easter Saturday,
and sprint laps at Morgan Park Raceway on Easter Sunday.
There will probably be a motorkhana somewhere on the Monday as well.

So, keep it in mind. I'd like to meet a few club members there if I can. :D

Sounds like a good excuse for a Brisbane/Toowoomba/GC meet. The timing could be a challenge with families/spouses though.

Sorry, I didn't notice the last paragraph back when you posted it.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll be with my wife, and probably a dozen other members as well, so we'll probably bulk book a motel somewhere. :)

It's nearly Easter :D

We're going to be stopping in West Wyalong next Tuesday night, and Narrabri on Wednesday. Sorry, no stop in Moree :)
That's about 18 hours of towing a car trailer, spread over three days. My wife won't tow the trailer, so I'll be doing it in two 3 hour driving stints each day. Route

Will be in Tawoomba from Thursday night till Tuesday morning, although we have functions Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon nights already.
