is there a spot for a "Gathering of the Clans" on Saturday nite or is it a bit spread out for that??

I'd say it will be a bit spread out for that as people will take advantage of the various accommodation options available. I daresay there'll be a few folks "relaxing" at the Raglan Reserve camp ground, and the two pubs will probably do a reasonable trade too.

Perhaps we could organise a VERi bus to circulate around the various venues. I looked into it and we can get a pretty good deal on the one below. I'll talk to the rest of the committee and see what we can do.  ;)

Well, we're heading into the Beaufort Vinduro home straight (it is Melbourne Cup week after all!) and it's time to get your sh1t organised - now! Time will get away from you, trust me.
Check the accommodation guides and don't leave booking a room somewhere to the last minute.
Don't be concerned about the length of the loops; all it means is that you have the choice to ride as much or as little as you like. Do endless repeats of the short loop all day perfecting your riding techniques if that suits, or just do a single lap of the longer Euro loop and enjoy the scenery and awesome flowing trails.
The dedicated team of course markers are going all out to plot a terrific course with easy to follow arrowing (Drakey says the arrows should be out of reach of marauding sheep - but do dropbears who feed on arrows live in Pine plantations? Time will tell!) and the bail-out routes will get you back to civilisation quickly if you decide to have a rest.
One week and the countdown clock is ticking.  :)

No, but there should be!

Just so everyone knows, cut off day for UVP applications has closed. Window of opportunity for pre-entry closes soon too, as in Tuesday... That's right, get your forms into the club secretary by no later than Tuesday (bearing in mind that Tuesday is a public holiday in Melbourne). Give Drakie a call if you need to discuss.

You can of course enter on the day(s). And a reminder that Vic rec rego is a-ok for this event too.
