Our planned gathering at the All Ford Day in February has been cancelled:

"THE KIWANIS ALL FORD DAY CAR SHOW DUE TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY 18th FEBRUARY 2007 AT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY WAURN PONDS, HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO SUNDAY 17th FEBRUARY 2008.
Due to the current drought conditions and stage 4 water restrictions in the Geelong Region, Deakin University has reluctantly closed its sports grounds to all events. There have been several meetings to explore the possibility of supplying water to maintain the sports grounds, or to relocate to another suitable venue in the region, but unfortunately, we have had to make the hard decision to defer the event until 2008, when we will have a suitable venue.

We sincerely apologize for having to take this decision, but we feel it is the only responsible course open to us in the current circumstances. To hold the event on a dry, dusty venue would be unfair to show car owners who have put so much effort into the presentation of their vehicles.

....We can assure you that the Kiwanis Club of Geelong Inc will do it’s very best to organize an event for 2008 that will be able to be conducted regardless of weather conditions. This is the first time in 17 years that the annual Kiwanis All Ford Day car show has had to be postponed.

Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, however it is due solely to matters over which we have no control...."

So my question now is what to substitute this for in our GT40 events calander???

Regards

Bill
