I'd hurry though, with us and dB Drag National Finals - there isn't much around.

Can the public come and have a look?

Sure can BoneZee!!

Yeah i surpose that i'll be there as well. As long as blanket brings the draught

Hopefully i can make it down for a look...
See whatb the cash is like.

marc..
with the Vic convoy up north, are there set meet points along the way?
i dont see the point in me driving to Sunbury (as i was told last night) only to drive past my place again..

I dont know who said that coz I certainly never have.

We'll be meeting at Hume Macca's in Campbellfield (as always) at 11:00am.

I'd also like to add that, with only two entries recieved I hope we get a lot coming in .... otherwise the whole event is hardly worth it.

Has always been Cambellfield Damo, hehe your source of information is oh so wrong.

Marc,

I know that myself and tim (lexarse) are coming down for sq from qld. Although, we are the only two that i'm aware of. That is, of course, if im able to have a wildcard entry. I'm hoping dan has already spoken to you about it?

Woody.

i've sent you a pm regarding mine
incidentally, i dont think we'll be able to make the convoy im trying to get out of it, but im required at work until mid afternoon - shame, because i enjoyed the last one (to FB a couple of years ago) but eitherway i'm still a'commin

im sure you will catch up Adam

Yeah Mark you remember that wild card entry I was telling you about, thats him there

ill be leaving here about midnight -1
what time are you guys waking up

oh, there's an entry form now is there!?

you send me the personal invitation first, then you get my entry! j/k

*prints it off*



Edit: payment made via netbank Direct Deposit

Edit: entry FAXED

just got the invite in the mail
be there with bells on
well actually
a bitmore than just bells
i probably get told off

Blame rob and simon..

campbellfield sounds good to me..
i am definitely gonna compete now, f**k it...

i'll organise an entry form and i'll pay on the day as i am paying cash..

dont blame me, i diddent say anything about meeting anywhere!

cambellfield is a long way away from oakleigh, sunbury is even ferther!

Guys - many have said they'll be paying on the day. It wasnt a payment option on the sheets as everything for this event we have to pay upfront.

Not only that, cash is harder to keep track of, and we dont want to be getting entry forms now and then not the entry money until the day.

Now there is one circumstance where I have allowed payment on the day.
But unless you have a serious reason, to make it easier on us can we please organise payment via one of the methods on the form.

Thanks guys.

will fax forms in next day or two

Tim, Dom and I will all be coming. We have booked accomodation and I have paid my entry and faxed my form

Yep Im there with bells on.

Just paid via net banking, will fax the form off in the next couple of days

Sent entry form with money order yesterday (saturday) so you should get it by monday!
Counting down the day's now!
Looking foward to national's, should be a great weekend!

entry faxed 2moz (monday) and money order posted as well so should get to you tues hopefully.

Looking at your results in your sig there Jase, you are guaranteed 4th at the Finals Hahaha

Thanks for getting the entries and payments to me guys ... I'm a little more encouraged now

ill get around to doing it sometime today, if i can be bothered........

we'll we've booked in accomodation, and paid entry is the issue atm, marc did you get my pm about that? :mellow:

yeah thanks marc... only prob is those results are going the wrong way so i wouldn't be happy with 4th.

all paid just need to fill a form out, printer at work wont print it and i cant edit PDF's hmm

same problem here
but im not at work

Paypal'd 5 minutes ago, dunno what to do with entry form, might fax it off in a day or two.

You might? I might choose not to accept it after the closing date....

i'll fax off the form as soon as i fill it in.. today..
and apparently my 'payment' is taken care of.. how do we take care of the membership subscription, just pay?

Just add $75 to your payment - I know what its for and we already have all your details Damo.

Fuxed!

now now Marc you have your money and I won't have access to a fax machine until Tuesday or Wednesday

7/11 have fax machines.

or if you edit the PDF with your details that may be fine.

Open the PDF in photoshop... type over it and save as JPG if its easier.

i think i might do that too, next year for constant competition..

now worries about the payment marc..
chrissy is taking care of it all for me, and the entry form has been faxed! cant wait..

entry faxed today.

Money order sent tomorrow.
