Vic Christmas Cruise 2007 - Sunday 9th December

[TUFXRT6]

Hi Guys & Gals,

After speaking to EvilDaifu we have decided to run a Christmas cruise as there seems to be lots of new members and not many cruises for people to meet

So nominated date is Sunday 9 December 2007 - departure time 11am.

Start at Station Pier for a photo opportunity, head down Beaconsfield Parade which turns into St Kilda Esplanade / Beach Road to take in the great beach view.

We intend to stop at either Beaumaris yacht Club or Mordialloc Life Saving Club where there are Barbies (essentially if the first spots is being used we will move to the second & pray they are not taken), this location will also be used as another photo opportunity.

Free snags, bread and tomato sauce. Free cans of coke and bottles of water.

Charity draw for the Salvation Army.

Free FordXR6Turbo.com fridge magnet for the guys that come along (limit of one per car and limited quantity left so first come first served).

Coming back people can either cruise back down to St Kilda along beach Road or make there own way home. All up about 45km for actual cruise.

Meet Point

Station Pier at 11:00am (Melways 2J A6)

We will also draw the charity raffle during lunch.

2:00 pm 22ish km People can either head back down Beach Road / St. Kilda Esplanade / Beaconsfield PDE or make there own way home.

The rules are simple:

1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...Any breaches will be reported to the local police.

2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members. There is also a designated cruise anchor that will stay at the back of the cruise. You must not overtake the cruise leader, or fall behind the anchor. If you have to stop or drop back for what ever reason, the anchor will stay back with you.

3. Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.

4. CB Radios; if you don’t have one, follow the maps, and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.

5. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it’s Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers/Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it is your fault, not ours).

- CB highly desirable - EvilDaifu has one for free loan (just PM him if interested)

- Camera for the photo opps

- I will provide some free Sausages / Bread / Tomato Sauce, if you want any thing other than that you will have to provide your own.

- EvilDaifu will be supplying free cans of coke and bottles of water.

- Provide your own drinks if you dont like coke (please note these are public parks & drinking alcohol in them is illegal).
