We will be staying at The Ballina Island Motor Inn which is located on the corner of Ronan Place and River Street, West Ballina NSW.

Our Meet organisers Bruce and Dave have set up a terrific deal with the venue for our accommodation and meals along with an excellent program of activities for the whole weekend. 8) ;D

Friday night:
Meet and Greet and Eats and drinks at the Motel with the Official opening of the weekend

Saturday:
A quick briefing about the day's events after breakfast
then a static display in town till about 11:00am
followed by an organised driving event for the best part of the rest of the day.
Saturday night's dinner and festivities will be at the Motel function room till late ;D O0 whistle
And the theme for the Saturday night do is "Beach"

Sunday;
After breakfast we have the Annual General Meeting in the Motel function room from 8:00 till 10:00
then we're off on a run out to Dave's place for lunch
then off for a photo session and some R&R at a select beach.
And Sunday night is usually a pretty casual affair for those who haven't already set off on their way home.

Paid up...........now we count the days!

Just wondering if there is a 'theme' for the Saturday night dinner? (glad i missed the morph suits tho  whistle)

Shonko

Sorry Shonko, I've accidentally left that bit out :-[

The theme for the Saturday night dinner and festivities is "Beach"

And while you won't need to fear the morph suits, it's the Budgie Smugglers you should worry about this year :evl: :evl: ;D

I'll be there, loud and proud ;D

PP.

Can't say I haven't been warned...........thanks mate!

I have booked the Ballina Post Traumatic Stress Clinic for consultations Sunday morning.

Hey gang,

There's only 19 sleeps to go until we rock Ballina and bookings at the Ballina Island Motor Inn have been filling pretty rapidly! :)

G'day everyone,

Only 8 days to go until the fun starts in sunny Ballina O0 so if you are still umming and ahhing about coming along then you'd better get your bum into gear as bookings are being finalised tomorrow. :police:

There are still a couple of rooms available at the Ballina Island Motor Inn but you'd better get in quick. whistle

Here's the booking form link -->http://www.eurekacarclub.com.au/Documents/2015 Ballina Booking form.pdf (http://www.eurekacarclub.com.au/Documents/2015 Ballina Booking form.pdf)

It's going to be quite a family oriented Meet this year and will be pretty laid-back in typical Ballina style with plenty of fresh prawns (and a few raw ones too I'd imagine) and with Reeks coming in from SA, VIC, NSW and QLD it should be a real blast. ;D :laugh: 8)

Hi Gang,

I know of 4 Eureka's heading "down" to Ballina from QLD. They are Phil, Ted, Tim and myself.......we have organised (I use that term loosely) to go down in convoy with Ted starting from Gympie, meeting up with Phil and me at Greenbank and finally meeting Tim around the GC area..... If you are intending on heading "down" and want to join us let us know.

Shonko

G'day gang, only 3 more sleeps 'till Ballina 2015 ;D but unfortunately for me I won't be able to make it any more. :'( >:( :( :o

Rhonda got sideswiped by one of her mums ponies early last week pushing her knee sideways which did a bit of damage unfortunately so I have been doing everything since then as she hasn't been able to walk until the last few days and even then it's just a slow totter with a walking sick.

October is kidding time here on the goat farm so since Rhonda is out of action, I have been, still am and will be for a few weeks yet, the head goat midwife, milker, kid feeder, stablehand and general shit shoveller as well as house husband and everything else.

So enjoy yourselves up there in sunny Ballina, Bruce and Dave have everything under control and have a great lineup of events for you all to enjoy.

Make sure you post plenty of photos for me to cry over while you're up there and have a great time,

Ok. Our intrepid leader is incarcerated by spousal obligations.Said to say.But at least I can cancel the post traumatic clinic for Sunday(no buggy smuggles) at the dinner,few.For those coming to Ballina,for sundays activities at my place,bring a fishing line if you fish.It you want to go fast, bring your helmet.if you want to go fast on water, bring your wetsuit.you will need swimmers if you use the spa.Dave

Sorry to hear that Paul, good luck with the 'duties'.... :'(

Yes please many pictures, as we few on west coast can only watch, hmm that does not sound good. ah well.

BTW, any suggestions for cover the joint between upper and lower sections???

Ballina is waiting!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to say a few thank yous:

Firstly to Phil and Kim for inviting Zak and I to meet at their place and have lunch then join the "southern migration" with Ted, Yvonne, Tim and Anne. It was great fun.

Next, the "Ballina Boys" and girls for all their hard work to make our weekend a 'blast'. The planning and attention to detail was second to none, The FM frequency communication for the drive, was outstanding. Purvis Eureka Station 88.2!!!!

A special thank you to David and Helen for opening their home to us and sharing all their toys, OMG the toys!!!! And putting on a spread fit for a king!

Lastly congratulations to the newly elected, and the long suffering re-elected, committee.... your many many hours donated to the cause are appreciated.

Looking forward to Tanunda!!!

Regards
Shaun and Zak (and Kveta)

Hi All,  Glenda and I arrived home this evening after taking the tourist routes to and from BALLINA.
We totally agree with Shonko's comments!!   Dave even took us to a town called EUREKA and I dont think that   
is something any other meet organiser can do.

Again many thanks must go to Bruce and Liz with Dave and Helen for all their work both over the weekend and behind the
scene over the last few years to put on this great event.  Ideal Weather, Ideal Scenery, Ideal FRIENDS   THEY did the lot.

Regards from a grateful  Morris + Glenda

Mirror in pride of place.Thanks Morris.And thanks to all who came to Ballina to make it one of the best ,and memorable weekend.Midmount.

  For those with a keen eye the Ballina meet will last all of this year. The Supercheap Auto 2016 calendar has many photos
  of cars on it, BUT ONE  is a red Reek on the beach. Shonko how did you manage that ?  Well Done Mate.
  Morris.

Serious?! I'll have to go pick that calendar up!

Good work Shonko!

 ;D

Great stuff Shonko
Picked one up today
Shame they cut off a bit
great to be teamed with all those other great cars

See attached, maybe a bit of stick tape to make a fold out bit.

Well there ya go then, it's actually Darren's Red Reek and not Shonko's after all  O0

Haven't managed to snaffle myself a copy as yet though.

Sorry, definitely The Shonko mobile

interesting comments made on the Supercheap Facebook site

Just remembered, we still have yet to get our sew on cloth Annual Meet patch for last year. Any idea about those?

 :(

No worries there Richard, it's all under control mate.  8)

PP.

Ok, I'm starting to develop a nervous twitch. I need that patch for my hoodie. I need my fix.

 :D

I would like to take the credit but this is definitely Darrens (gold rims).........I did submit a photo for the Supercheap calendar but only made runnerup. They must have been inundated with Eureka's. Well done Darren.

It won me a $50 voucher, so worth the effort  8)

I went weekend before last to grab a calendar, and they were out of stock! I forgot the weekend just gone... I'll have to go in this weekend and get one. 

 ;D

Ok the pic of the Nose was Darren's sorry, but My copy of the Calendar is definitely Shonko on the back page.
Silver rims and no roof. Darren has a roof that day. The seats give it away as well as the rear spoiler

Attached is a copy of the calendar that I have. Maybe they made a few different ones.
The pic I have appears on the back page, center right (with the nose cut off)

Be interesting to compare copies :o

comments?

     Hi All,   Phil my copy of the calendar is the same, obtained by our son detween christmas and new year. Three shops near here didnt have any when I put the first post up and didnt know if there were more coming. I think all calendars would be the same,to expensive to print otherwise.
     If anyone wants one you may have to look hard. Dose Ebay have a wanted to buy? I know of two that are not for sale!

Regards Morris.

Awesome, it is news to me. I got a $50 voucher and advised I wasn't successful by Supercheap.......... it is definitely my car. I will need to get me a copy now.

 ;D whistle

I got a copy of the calendar with 3/5 of my car in the "nearly made it page". (tick that off the bucket list) The lovely Supercheap lady behind the counter brought in her personal copy from home for me when she heard why I wanted one.

Customer service level =1000. Thank you Oxley Supercheap. I feel terrible for not remembering her name it is Denise or something similar, but she has always had customer satisfaction as the primary goal!

It is so refreshing when you get great service these days.........god I sound old  ;D

Big Thumbs Up, (couldn't find the button anywhere)

How about taking her for a spin around the car park as a thank you

Where have you been Shonko.WE have been talking about you for a month.I got VIP treatment from my Supercheap Store when I told them
 our beach featured on their Calendar. Got the calendar ,straight to the pool room.

I'm currently in Auckland, running 2 warehouse operations at the moment. Just lucky I guess.

Thanks again Dave for what is probably the best photo of my car I have...........it was a great weekend.

Got the 10th PECCA AGM Ballina 2015 cloth patches in the mail today.Thanks Paul.Cyco wil go CYCO when his arrive i imagine.Dave
