Russ Posted 6October, 2015 Report Share Posted 6October, 2015 This is a thread for the first National PFA meet at Valla Beach Resort (right next to Nambucca Heads, NSW) We'll be tying it in with the VW Spectacular, I've been in contact with the event organisers and she's happy to have us come and participate. There are events on the week leading up to the event but I normally just go for the weekendI'll update this first post with information as I get itThe schedule is as follows:Friday - Racing at Raleigh Raceway (a small track mainly used for go-karts, but it looks good fun - info on the track is here http://www.raleighraceway.com.au they are happy to have us participate in racing and I'll have entry details soon)Saturday Morning - Street Parade in Nambucca Heads (morning)/Swap Meet back at Valla Beach (Afternoon) - Drive in convoy to the centre of Nambucca heads and fill up the street, last time they did it they had 530+ VWs (and hopefully we get quite a few Porsches to add to this)Saturday Afternoon - Swap meet (this carries over to Sunday too sometimes) if anyone is interested in a booth or space to sell items please let me know and I'll see what I can arrange for you, there is obviously a bit of a crossover for VW/Porsche stuffSunday - Show n Shine at Valla Beach Resort, We'll hopefully have our own area for Porsches with PFA banners etcMonday - Farewell breakfast, and I think they sometimes have some events but I normally go home this dayI will be planning it as a 4 day event but the actual VW specatular runs for an entire week so you're free to attend what you'd likeI'm going to go down Thursday and back Monday (via the Walcha-Wauchope road, and the New England Highway because I hate the Pacific Highway) if anyone is keen in travelling together. We could even meet up with the southern contingent coming up at Guyra or Uralla and happy to turn it into an SMT but will organise closer to the date.Please only direct accommodation enquiries to me (as the park would prefer one single booking) - accommodation details in this postIncluding letting me know if you need camping space!You'll be hard pressed to find somewhere to stay in/around Nambucca Heads so you might need to commute to Coffs Harbour if you're looking at sorting your own accommodation (the 'Valla Beach Resort' park the event is at is already booked out)I started a new thread so It's all clear and not full of responses, I'll be adding the accommodation information to this shortly when it stops merging my replies!I still have all your info from the old thread and I'll be adding the payment details and form to complete shortly (the old planning thread is here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 6October, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 6October, 2015 An update on the accommodation front We've been offered some space here http://whitealbatross.com.au/Here's a map to give you an idea on where it is (and how far to the show location, details in the first post about how the event is run) - Map between show location and accommodationThe accommodation options are listed on the site - If you can let me know what accommodation you'd like (either by PM or here in this thread) and I'll organise you to complete the booking form. They also require a $100 deposit to secure the accommodation, and $10 non-refundable booking fee which I will put details for in the next post.Please do not book directly with the park as we're trying to keep everything through the show organisers and use our leverage as a group to get into a convenient location (it's the same price either way) Any questions respond here or send me a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 7October, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 7October, 2015 As we speak i'm going through all the list of required accommodation and I'll post up the listing here. If I've missed anyone please let me know.I'll also include a link to download the form to complete, and a method of paying the deposit for accommodation.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS80 Posted 22December, 2015 Report Share Posted 22December, 2015 Was clearing through e-mails and saw the following thread in an e-newsletter: http://porscheforum.com.au/topic/4841-national-pfa-meet-planning-thread/?page=1. ... and I ended up on this page. Am interested in attending, but shan't be able to confirm until May/ June 2016. Do I need to sign-up anywhere? I was active in the WA-chapter when I used to live in Perth, but haven't attended any Porsche events in NSW. I own a 911, a Cayenne, and a 928 Strosek, and thought about taking my 911 to this event in Nambucca Heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 23December, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 23December, 2015 You don't need to sign up anywhere for the event, just come along - entry fees will be announced next year when all the artwork/details are finalised. If you want to race you will need to sign up, but those details will be released at the same timeI'm working on the accommodation details today, and will be PM'ing anyone who was looking for somewhere to stay.

ByronBayChris Posted 17February, 2016 Report Share Posted 17February, 2016 RussHave you been to the raceway? Their website speaks about Karts mainly. Is it a full size racetrack? Are you racing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarreraG50 Posted 17February, 2016 Report Share Posted 17February, 2016 RussHave you been to the raceway? Their website speaks about Karts mainly. Is it a full size racetrack? Are you racing?

Port 911 Posted 17February, 2016 Report Share Posted 17February, 2016 The track is mainly for Karts, but the do regular drifting events there so it is wide enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 17February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 17February, 2016 yep I've been (i just did the maths, about 20 times now lol) I'm not sure if I'm racing yet - I'm thinking about itthey race beetles, golfs, kombis there and some of them have more power than a 911 (you'll be up against Glen Torrens in a hill climb beetle, and Stan Pobjoy in one of his race cars probably)it's a very small track and used for karts normally, not very forgiving but it's hard to get up to any speed anywayTrack time depends on how many entrants they get, you usually will get a few runs. They are waiting on their CAMS license for the event with the exact details. Racing will be over Thursday/Friday. Will post more details as I get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 22February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 22February, 2016 and for those of you still keen on accommodation I'll have some info shortly - just waiting to see what is left and I'll update this when I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 11March, 2016 Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 Russ, we've just received an email from Donna Pell with another entry form, asking for another deposit and entry form to be completed. Anyone else get it?Do we have to do another entry form? Can you update us please??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 11March, 2016 Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 Nothing here as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 11March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 Apparently yes, there is a new entry form - she's been sending them out this week (You'll notice the change of the event name, and the new designs) as well as an itinerary for the entire week before if anyone is keen in that too and racing infoshe would like everyone to complete them as they have the correct dates/info/and other activities up too. She has confirmed that she has our accommodation deposits, and that the rooms are bookedI've got all your emails recently, sorry I just haven't had a chance to respond to anything yet.New FormCan you all please fill in the above form and email it back to me (again) sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 11March, 2016 Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 What parts of the form, do we fill out again? Do we have to do the accommodation yet again, if so there is no entry for the place you said we are staying at?What about our deposits already paid and rooms selected, do they have a record of that? There is nothing on there to show the rooms we chose previously.What about extra car and people? I have Graeme staying with us as I thought I had booked a two bedroom unit? How do I add his car as well?Sorry Russ no reflection on you but this is getting to be a cluster from them, we need some clear instructions on exactly what needs to be filled out in detail on that form as it is hardly self explanatory. Would also like some sort of record of monies already paid and that the rooms we previously requested have been reserved for us.Other than that if it's all too hard for them to give us clear instructions and confirmation of our current bookings and money sent then I'm out and would like a refund as I've had to send in documents and extra money multiple times now.

Russ Posted 11March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 11March, 2016 I'll be updating this thread when I get home from work. I've approached the organisers regarding refunds, as well as if filling in the form is really required. i have confirmed seperately that our accomodation at the white albatross is booked.
