Stan, I also remember that when I booked one room for somebody today that they asked me if I was with the Classic Bike Club (I said no, not exactly)?  The woman said a classic bike club had booked several rooms 'some time ago' so I think that's why there's a bit of confusion.  Apparently a classic ROAD bike club has booked a few rooms the same weekend for some run they're having up that way.  But we definitely did not know the date last week, let alone some time ago.

Regards

Yes, they told me that there are TWO bike events on that weekend and the other mob booked all the cabins...

By the way, I've made this topic 'sticky' so it can now be the official CD10 thread.

You could always sell the benefits of a holiday in the Blue Mountains with a slight detour to the Wang?

Here's a thought Geoff. Why dont you get all those clowns who want stuff made in the last minutes before CD10 to put there strange needy pathetic requests for the impossible in now! J

Yes but it will probably be the orders that I take now that I will be rushing to finish at the last minute before CD. 

I work like the car industry, ‘Just in time’ delivery is the go

Thanks to the ones in the know for stuffing up our trip.

Stan..I hope that by my announcing that we'd booked at the Black and Gold you're not suggesting that I'm in the know....a part of some secret elite that got a head start on everyone else. Here's how it went down at Casa del Firko this morning............
While scanning the forum at around 8.30 this morning I saw Kens 7.41 post announcing the dates. I Immediately cut and pasted Kens post into an email and sent it to my KK mates. Jonesy then rang me at aproximately 9.30 and we discussed whether we would book into the Rydal pub again. After some discussion we decided not to book the pub and inspired by good reports from friends that had stayed at the Black and Gold last year we decided to give it a try. Jonesy's wife Sonia then got onto the blower and booked us a 5 bed villa and a family suite in the motel section. That was all confirmed by an email to me at 11.25. We then realised that we'd overlooked booking a room for Chippy and his wife so Sonia got back on the phone and managed to book another suite...confirmed to me by email at 12.15.

I thought I'd go into this precise detail to try and quash any suggestion that because I am a contributor to VMX magazine I may have had some prior knowledge of the date. That is far from the case and it has never happened in the past. There is no "those in the know" in my party and that's the truth. A check with the motel will verify the time of our bookings.

[Stan S]

Ken and Mark, "the ones in the know" I was eluding to were the classic bike club members that I was told by the lass at Black and Gold Cabins had temporaily booked multiple rooms some time ago.
It sounds like I have jumped the gun and assumed these people were associated with CD10. I apologise if it looked like I was pointing the finger at anyone in particular but will be very interested to find out who this group is.
When my group stayed for the four nights at Black and Gold cabins last year we had a great time and the facility was fantastic and that is why we are so dissapointed to miss out on accomodation there this time.

Stan.

I hoped the explanation was something like that Stan, we've always got along well so I'd have hated this to cause trouble. After the kerfuffle with VMX42 resigning from the forum this morning I guess we get a little anxious when even a hint of VMX favouritism creeps in. The only mystery now is why you couldn't get accommodation yet we did, a long time after 7.41 am. Maybe Jonesy's wife gives better phone than you do mate .

[vmxken]

NEWS FLASH - I rang the guy from the Classic Club and had a chat and they haven't even made public their event as yet.  He has kindly agreed to change the date of his event and so all his tentative bookings will vanish in a few days.  So Stan and others......you should still be in luck for cabins, just try again.  Also, they are having ten more motel rooms built at present which will be completed by September, and they can be booked now as well.
