CAMP COFFS 2009 RELOCATED

Following flood damage to the Nana Glen site, Camp Coffs basesite has been relocated to the Coffs Harbour Showground. This is adjacent to the Harbour City Holiday Park (formerly Coffs Harbour Tourist Park) on the Pacific Highway near the centre of Coffs. The new site is well located to all services and within a short walking distance to Clubs, Hotels, shopping and other venues.

The Service Centre directly opposite has fuel, pharmacy, fast food and small shops,  and some washing bays.

Additional security arrangements (patrols, IDs, etc) are being put in place to ensure camp site security during day trips.

Directions to the new venue:



Coming from the North - Brisbane
Drive into Coffs from the north past the shopping centres and through one set of lights, under the railway bridge and through a second set of lights. Keep going until the third set of lights (Shell Service Station on the left) are you are almost there.
Take the first turn through the gates to the camping site and follow the signs to the reception centre - this will be to the left as you drive through the gates.

Coming from the South - Sydney
Drive into Coffs and pass through a number of traffic lights until you reach the main CBD - Coffs Harbour Hotel on the left, shops etc on the right. Drive through one set of lights and across a bridge at Coffs Creek. The Harbour City Holiday Park is well signposted on your right. Drive along about 300-400m and there is a turning lane to the right which will take you into the Camp Coffs Grounds. This is directly opposite a fuel and small service centre. Follow directions to the reception centre as before. If you miss the turn don't panic. Keep going to the next set of lights - Shell Service Station on your right and turn right. Do not do a U-Turn at the lights or your Jeep costs will be increased. Just turn right drive along about 200m and there is a small park/parking area where you can do a legal turn and come back onto the Highway.

Club Members have been busy attending meetings, planning trips and trying to do the big balance of 'how hard will it really be if it rains?'

These are some of the boys doin' it tough out on the trail clearing detail. Some were heard to mutter 'This ain't living, Barry" but the work went on.

Then there were the boys doing the 'heavy lifting' Here is the Chief showing some fine style on the lantana
And this is some of the stuff we were working to clear. Great tracks for a great camp

The tracks have become quite rutted after the recent rain and drivers will need some skills to keep out of the holes and hold traction.

Club Presentation Night

There was a big turnout for the Club Presentation night held at the Kegel Barn on 21st November.

Lots of noise and many smling faces.

Tracey couldn't stop thinking about flying and here she is trying to trick the Club President into looking up into the sky for her helo

The crowd was able to have a few exotic drinks and food just seemed to keep on coming.

While we were there it seemed natural to try out the attractions and pretty soon everyong was putting bowls down. Here is Zane showing a bit of style and

then some of the more dedicated participants tried out synchronised bowling to the delight of on-lookers.

During a pause the Club President reminded members what they were here for and handed over the Club Vice President for the next stage of proceeding.

Holding the coveted prize aloft Mr Vice outlined the circumstances, deeds and events that went into consideration for the prize.
The crowd was attentive and interested as the envelope was opened

And the winner was Max with his magnificant water jeep design which can be seen elsewhere on the site

Two proud winners

Many thanks to Jacko for the great work on trophy preparation.
