I will never forget last year, i took the friday off from work, we set up camp in the rain and sleet on friday arvo as the sun went down some dude on a four wheeler came and told us we were too close to the fence. It was a good thing that the dude had a couple of kids with him so we just buttoned our lips and did what he asked. We had to move everything. two hours later some more people set up in the same possi near the fence and they stayed there all weekend. What a F around. so it goes to show its not worth getting there early to get a good position.
I must say that marking out with track hardwood timber stakes seemed a bit dangerous.

Dear Brett
I am going to reply on behalf of the 6 main people that set CD 9 up all non paid helpers
1 You took Friday off most of us where there 2 weekends before and the week leading up to it and a couple of days after to set up and clean up!
2 You had to set up your camp in the rain and snow. You should have been there the week end before we started at first light and the snow didnt melt until about 11oclock and it was F*%King cold all day!
3 The Dude in the ATV is a very good mate and he would not have asked you to move just to be a Pr$%K.
4 There where boundry markers placed all around the campsite and signs so I am not sure how you managed to miss them when the other 300 campers didn't?
5 2 hours later which would have been in the pitch dark you say someone else turned up and pitched there tent in the same place well good on you for watching them do it and saying nothing to them!
6 14 kms of bunting was laid all 2000 pegs where put in and laid over in the direction of traffic and pointing away from the track with the bunting secured at the bottom I know because I went round and checked every peg saturday morning on every track. I look forward to you supplying us with a more suitable safety peg ( We will need at least 2000)
7 I should imagine the reason other people where not asked to move was because of the storm that hit friday night I know the six of us had bigger issues to deal with than that!
So when you get on this forum complaining that it was a bit inconvenient spare a thought for all the manly club members and all the other helpers that gave up there week end to make sure you had a good time.
Warm Regards
Steve Baker
