Proposed Melbourne P Plater Meet, Photoshoot + Cruise

Club.Liberty P Plate Meet

What is it?
We will start out with first a meet and greet at one of two locations, (tbc) one in Western Suburbs and another in the Eastern Suburbs, after a quick meet both groups will drive to a car park where we will have a free bbq lunch available, feel free to bring drinks and meet if you want something different!

After the meetup and lunch we will all head out to a few locations for some photoshoots, if your car is dirty on the day we may organize a pre-meet wash close to both meet locations, this is to be confirmed.

We will take some photos, talk about our cars, all that jazz, and then after the photoshoots we are considering a cruise, for those who want to stick around, thinking something like the north west route through Tullamarine, Mt Macedon, Woodend, Trentham Falls, Bacchus Marsh and either finish in Marsh or finish in the City.

For the cruise its probably about a 3-4 hour drive including stops, we can have a couple of breaks along the way, stop to go to the toilet, grab some food, whatever floats your boat.


When is it?
At this stage we don’t have a suggested date, however we can look at the weekends toward the end of July, or the start of August, open for suggestions, ideally we will find a date that accommodates the majority of people.

Examples: Sat 27th July 2013, Sat 3rd August 2013

Proposed timeline:

  • 11am Meet at both locations
  • 11:30am Leave to meet up with second group
  • 11pm Meet with second group, lunch, etc
  • 12:30pm Leave for photoshoot locations
  • 2:00pm Finish photo shoots, leave for cruise
  • 5:30pm Cruise finishes

More information
  • This is a great way to meet likeminded people, you’re welcome to join or leave at any stage, for example if you don't want to go on the cruise you can leave at the end of the photoshoot, etc.
  • Photos will be put online after processing and available for download, We have at least 2 people coming with dslr’s, feel free to bring your own as well.
  • The meet is still very early in the planning stage, feel free to suggest locations for meets, photoshoots, the cruise, and everything.
  • Lunch will be provided, at this stage a sausage sizzle and can of drink, feel free to bring anything else if thats what you prefer.
  • The cruise will not be a race, however we will be going through some interesting roads, so its not going to be boring!

What to bring
  • Yourself and car
  • A mate if you like
  • Money for food or drinks along the cruise
  • A water bottle (reccomended)
  • A camera if you like

We're now thinking two separate meets,

First one would be a meet and greet, lunch and cruise, second one would be a week or two later where we do a photoshoot with all the liberty's

You can count me in too, I like that there will be no GT liberties so our non turbos won't feel so inferior.

Would also love some nice shots of my car!
Hopefully my coilovers will be here by then.

That was why a few members wanted to do a P plater cruise, as they felt like they got picked on by the GT's
