Post by: McGirr on June 10, 2012, 02:48:24 PM
I know some members are staying at either Lake Placid or Coconuts van park.

Just let me know what park and when you are due to arrive as I will try and pop in at coconuts thursday afternoon and then head over to lake placid where the real men are staying  ;D

I have JK and Bert at lake placid already.

We will be at Lake Placid this Saturday (16th) before leaving for the Cape.  We'll warn them what is on the way!!

On another note we'll be back there on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th July which should be around the time you guys are all heading south.  If we haven't caught up with you up north maybe we'll see some of you back here for a beer or 4?  :cheers:
