Its been made apparent to me that two things are needing a little more support for this years upcoming bonanza.
1) Swap meet stalls, to date only 2 swap meet stall entrants have put through paperwork to say they'll be requiring space. This year the swap meet stalls are being set up under cover in the MotoX sheds so this is a great opportunity to not have to worry about packing up your stuff should bad weather arise, also those that have swap meet stalls booked will be allowed to camp at the MotoX sheds with their wares. i reckon for the $50 asked to have a stall its not a bad deal!! Please make contact with the appropriate people if you're requiring a space, and if you are reading this and know of people who dont frequent the forum please let them know to show their interest sooner rather than later.
2) While volunteer numbers are reasonable, there is still plenty of help required to run an event of this scale as any who have previously attended could appreciate. If you're able to spare some of your time and wish to help in the smooth sailing of such a great event please speak up now. If you're able to help out its expected that you'll be prepared to give up AT LEAST half a day over the weekend to support others who are also volunteering, for this you will be shown appreciation by way of free of charge entry, camping and bike entry fees. Also a lunch voucher for the day of your input and a ticket to the volunteers dinner on Sunday evening with a bevvy or two as well. You will still be required to pay for your 1 event license if you're not a current MA License holder. Please DO NOT bother making contact if you intend on getting your "appreciation package" and then disappearing for the weekend, this event is largely run by folks giving up their time to give you guys a great event year in year out. Maybe you could think to give a little back if its possible, there is also always plenty to do on Thursday, Friday and Monday so if anyone has no other commitments any help possible on those days is also greatly appreciated by all involved.
If you require any further info on either of these please dont hesitate to contact:
