CD5 Gates open 8am Friday, 25th April

[AjayVMX]

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick note to confirm that the gates at MX Central for CD5 will be open to to the public at 8am on Friday the 25th of April.

While there will be people organising things on the Thursday at the venue, entry will be only granted to pre-authorised people and if you turn up early, you will not be permitted to enter.

We know there is a natural tendancy to try and beat the rush for things like camping spots etc... but please understand that the event has an official starting time and people who try to circumvent it just make life harder for all concerned.  We don't really want to be hassled on Thursday when we need to be getting things ready, so please repect this advice and don't plan to arrive before Friday at 8am. 

That way, all will be good and fair for all.

Is their anyone going through or live near Maitland. Will be passing through about mid morning/lunch time Friday. I have never been to New Castle. I just know i'll get seriously lost. If I could link up with a local somewhere before New castle would be excellent. Always ment to get one of those GPS thingys, never got around to it.

Rodder.
Tent!   Nah mate I have no tent. You are most certainly welcome to join me on my camp site. Bring a swag to bunk down in.  Dont expect to much in the way of comforts. No tent, no shade cover, no barby. .... You will find plenty of good will and freindship.

Thanks Oldrodder.  I'll see what I can come up with  - hopefully not all booked out.
Cheers and see you there.
