How did you go with getting the time off?

If at least one more is a definite I'll book the time off this week, if there is only a couple of us perhaps a cabin somewhere?

I forgot all about it, I'll have to check when I'm at work tomorrow night.

The house is perfect for a family or just a group of friends that want to spend the weekend in the Hawkesbury enjoying the fabulous atmosphere that the Windsor town brings. We are in Freemans Reach situated 5 minutes from the historic town of Windsor and the Hawkesbury River where there is plenty of activities including water skiing and Powerboat events. You may be travelling through town and are looking for an overnight stay, which at times can be very hard to find. The house has parking and is on a 5 acre property.

I have a total of 3 houses on the property so if this house is taken see my other properties or enquire as other houses may be available.

i'm getting good online discounts for ibis budget hotel at sydney olympic park for those dates using hotelsaccommodation.com.au  ... a short easy ride against the traffic to eastern creek

Thinking of going.

Good Morning Ian,

Apologies for the delay in responding to your query.  Yes the dates are 23rd – 26th March with Thursday 23rd being a practice day for competitors.  There is no entry charge for spectators to enter on the Thursday.

The tickets are available now through https://www.stickytickets.com.au/45197/the_international_festival_of_speed.aspx

You will note that there has been a name change to International Festival of Speed but please be assured that there is no difference in the meeting at all although www.barrysheenefestivalofspeed will still take you to the new meeting name.

The revamped website will be going live this week now that we have confirmed the appearance of Giacomo Agostini.

Thank you for taking an interest in the meeting and I hope that you and your mates enjoy the meeting.

Regards
Peter

However I'm more than likely going to leave Tuesday morning and spend Tuesday and Wednesday travelling up there.
