Just a quick question as to why the Sat and not the Sunday? I'm only asking as I would have thought Saturday would have been the bigger day at Lake Goldsmith.
I haven't been before so I don't actually know, but based on other events the sunday seems to be quieter and often less going on.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Hi Dale
On the Saturday a few of the sheds are normally not open as the owners are still driving there.
Some of the boilers are still being fired up.
A lot of the oil engines are still being set up or worked on to get going because they are cantankerous things and should be steam
Sunday has been traditionally, the best day for the grand rally around the oval area.
And lastly, the name of this thread.

Hi all
I have received the free entry card and we are listed on the manifest in the entrance building. Woo Hoo!
I just have to confirm numbers during next week and we are good to go. (11 so far)
The plan is to meet in the Bradshaw St. carpark about 9.45 AM (to allow for any late arrivers) and head in at 10.00 when the park opens.
I can't get family members or friends in so they will have to go through as regular visitors but the more the merrier.
There will be areas that some won't be able to go though there should be plenty of other things to see and do.
I'm still not sure what the weather is going to do so keep an eye on it guys.
See you all Saturday.

Phil, you might want to pm the list with a mobile phone number in case there is any issues on the day, cancellations or hold up, etc.

I see why Phil said about checking weather for the weekend this is NOT looking good at all.
This could put a real damper on us even coming down at all.

Edited to add.
Phil sorry will have to wait till Wednesday for sure to advise if we are coming at all due to weather report above.

Unfortunately we will not be able to get there. It is a combination of busy lives (mainly the kids!!) and hay season here. Hopefully we can make it work another time.

Hey, it looks like the rain has shifted our way. Great. By Saturday it will be 5% chance of SBA all around tho.
