Our club is organising the anual GMH Torana Forums fundraiser cruise and BBQ.
All i know is it will b in march, starts in the city (Target Newton last year) and heads to Murray Bridge for a bbq besides the river.

Usually a gold coin donation (to assist with running costs of this site) from those going on cruise.

This will b the 3rd one, I have been on last 2 and it is a great day. we get a huge turn out at the start point of cruise but not all of them come on cruise, weather has been great the last 2 (hope i dont jinx it :fool: ) and brilliant facilities for the whole family.

Dangerous is organising it, so pm him for more details.

I will update when I kno more.

Don't know if I can bring myself to attend without the Hatch (R.I.P).
Is the Statesman worthy? I'll even wash it :D
I have hols in March and will be getting ready for the big move but I sure hope I can squeeze it in.

Yeah maybe we should be holding a combined Statesman/Torana cruise, I think our last club meeting attracted more statesmans than Torana's :tease:

What happened to the hatch Hatchman?? :fool:

Looks like we're squeezed for dates, with ;

Campbelltown Swap Meet March 5th
SMASA cruise March 11th (and the Mrs and I won't be in Adelaide this weekend)
Clipsal 500 23rd to 26th March
Family event on March 19th
GM Day April 9th
Our Club display at Birdwood from April 6th to July 8th (to be confirmed)

So, it looks like our only options are April 10th, March 5th after the Campbelltown Swap meet (this was the day we had it in its first year, leaving in the afternoon, so people could still get to the swap meet in the morning), or March 19th, with a black mark against my name if I don't go to the family event.

I'd prefer March 5th assembling around 1ish and leaving around 1:30ish for a late BBQ lunch - what do others think, and can they make it at this time?

Hatchy, once a Torrie owner, always a Torrie owner, so of course you would be welcome in the Statesy (and the BBQ will fit in the boot, right??? :D ). I'm sure Damo can break out a couple of honorary Torana badges for the Statesman brigade :spoton: You've also played a big part in the first two, so we'd miss you if you didn't come along to this one.

General stuff. Although it's organised by the Holden Torana Club of SA, all Torana owners and enthusiasts are welcome, with gold coin(s) donation for the cruise, cold cans of soft drink for $1, and gold coin donation for the BBQ at the end. ALL profits go back to contribute to running this site.

It will be a cruise from Adelaide to Murray Bridge again, most probably to Sturt Reserve on the banks of the Murray. It's a fun cruise, with a bit of tight twisty country driving, and no hooning or irresponsible driving will be tolerated. The first two have been very successfull, with good turnouts and no 'incidents'. We aim to make this one at least as good as the first two.

Please supply feedback so we can nail down a date and time.

5th March sounds good, but is it 2 close????

failing 5th march then maybe lok at mid late april.

As for joining the club catch up with Dangerous (dave) at the meeting point of cruise for info. u do not have 2 b a member to come on cruise, but u will b expected to follow by HTC rules.

lookn forward 2 it.

So, it looks like our only options are April 10th, March 5th

Oops - looks like I stuffed up on one of the dates. I meant April 8th (Saturday) for one of the possible dates, ie the day before the GM day. Since we have not had much feedback, I'd say the March dates are out.

So what about April 8th (Saturday) or April 23rd (Sunday). Easter is April 14th to 17th, so we'll stay away from that period.

i vote for the 23rd april, sundays seem 2 b a good day for cruises, not so many family, work and sporting commitments. plus i may!!!!!!! have elsie ready by then. HA HA HA

i think the sat pre GM day would rule out a few possible cruisers.
