The Purvis Eureka Forum

The committee is just waiting on some details but more than likely the date for the event will be the weekend after the V8 Race.
So that means and this will have to be confirmed yet but
12th, 13th and 14th of October looks to be the date but please DO NOT book it in just yet until we have confirmation on accom.
We will put it up once we receive word from  (Scouting Party).

James

O.K. Everyone. ;D
We have confirmation from the scouting party  whistle  book it in
 
12th,13th and 14th of October 2012 in Bathurst

james

P.S. Simon hope you have a back up plan  ;D

Eeeer,
          A what?

   Yep, I've got that weekend blocked in on the fridge calender. An easy drive for we Sydneysiders so I hope to see all you locals DRIVING your cars there (no trailers needed for this trip)!

      Good job James, et al

             Ted

Eh what? I don't need no stinkin' trailer!

 :P ;D :D

I have been thinking  whistle ( and for all you who thought I could'nt )  ;D
I am sitting on my computer and as you all know I just love computers
I have come up with this idea
last year we had fancy dress and it was a great success
so this year being at Bathurst the home of the greatest race track in Australia I think we should have a theme
question what colour's ( I know for all you smarties out there these are not classified as colour's just humor me ) is the finish flag
That's right you are a smart lot
This year you have to wear on the Saturday Night Dinner BLACK and WHITE to be considered for a prize
best dressed gets the prize
so get your thinking caps on  ???
and no Birthday Suits I want to enjoy my dinner  :'(

regards

James  :evl:

Told you I hated computers Bloody hit the green button by mistake sorry
Phil or Paul can you fix it back to black thanks

James

Fabulous News... My Kids have taken to wearing elements of the "OctoberFest" Costume as Robin Hood Style Props...

Now after you have checked out the above web site
if that does not get you to want to get your car along I don't know what to say  :o
Imagine your car on the front row of Bathurst race track  :evl:  that you can take a pic blow it up frame it and stick on your wall.
Ladies and Gentlemen Start your ENGINES
Excuse my french  :'(  but Bloodly Hell that would look incredible if you ask me  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

James

I'll try not to smoke up the tyres this time... I promise...

Ha James
 Is there any discount for those in the old picture who go back another visit  :D ;D
 Is it to early to start counting the sleeps.
                           Morris.

Well Morris,

Oct 12th is the 285th day of the year and today being June 7th makes it 127 sleeps to go I reckon. If you google it you could probably find a countdown timer for your confuser. Like this...

OK Guys
At this years Nat Meet I'm suggesting we conduct a SWAP MEET
This will be a friendly barter between members over the weekend.
If you have some suplus bits, bring them along to sell or swap
If they are too big, bring a list of items you wish to off-load/swap and compare with others.
No kick backs to the club. All just between members.

Eureka bits, VW Parts, Acsessories

There will be a few times where we will be able to kick tires or trade

Here's something that may assist the process.
Just copy & print the jpg below and bring it with you.

Great idea Phil,

I have heaps of stuff to find a loving home.

Regards

Glenn

Last time at Bathurst 2005

http://youtu.be/MrbuekWK-6I

We have come a long way since then. Should be a great Meet

Totally agree with the Rock. I've got a swag of parts that never made it to my current reek.
I'll bring what I can.
There are always some bigger items that won't fit like a motor and box etc.

PS. Will our merchandising officer have any new Caps at the meet. Mines looking a bit too much like I work on Eurekas.

Are there any convoys organised for Vic?
 whistle
Peter

G'day Peter,

I have new caps and bucket hats, just waiting for you.

Your friendly merchandising officer

The Bat! :roll:

To everyone attending the National Meet in Bathurst

The Purvis Eureka Car Club Committee

Hi Everyone,
As i stated in my previous thread I'm not going to be able to make the meet this year.
Bruce Key has a Sports Windscreen & Mould coming down from Brisbane... if anyone from Victoria or even South Australia had enough room to bring these back I would be greatly appreciative.

Regards
Heath

I know it's kinda last minute, but anyone from NSW interested in hooking up for a convoy? It's only about 3.5 hours from my place without any rest/fuel stops so I don't mind running on my own, but it's more fun with some mates to stir up the other motorists.  :D

hey cyco.
want to meet at the usual place ??.
go down via bell line road , stop at Lithgo for lunch maybe .
..Darren

Sounds good Darren. What time are you aiming to be at the rest stop?

about 10 ish

Maxx

Both my Reeks made it up and back under their own steam this year and apart from me forgetting to put the oil filler cap back on the Dweebster whistle before we left this morning they ran like clockwork ... well, ok, like very noisy clockwork!  :P

A big thanks to all who helped with the car & trailer on Sunday night. Had a great time at the meet and thanks to all who purchased goodies. For info the club has NO old logo stock left.
Hope everyone got home safe.

James

OK dinner finished.

First a big thankyou to everyone that chipped in to help with the National Meet it could not have been done without you. :) :) :) :) :)

Now what a event these meets could not take place without you the member attending and making them unbelievable. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

You know the old saying what happens on the road stays on the road ( not going to happen here ) whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle
we will when the pics start flowing show everyone whether they like it or not what some of our members are made of. :roll: :o ;D :'(

Why should the member's that attended be the only one's scarred for life when we can let you in to their weird little fantasies for all to see ( have I wetted your appetite yet with that comment ) just wait till you see it for yourself and you to will have nightmares.

Joke's aside it was terrific to see members putting themselves into the theme well done to everyone.

Now to introduce you to your new committee for 2013

President   James ( Wyked 1 ) you had your chance to change it and you blew it.
Vice President  Peter ( Green Reek ) a BIG welcome to Peter
Secretary  Paul ( Racer 93 )
Treasurer  Trevor ( STUD )
Committee as follows
Mary ( Mez )
Phil  (Philinsa )
Jeff  ( The Bat )
Allan ( Allan )
Andrew (Agroeureka ) a BIG welcome also to Andrew
I have used their nicknames also so if you see them on you know who they are

Now State Coordinators

QLD.      Steve Otter ( Boxertrix ) a BIG welcome to Steve
N.S.W.   Andrew ( Argoeureka )
Vic.       Paul ( Webcoat )
S.A.       Paul ( Racer 93 )

That's enough from me now got get everything sorted before hitting the sack.

Trev

Hi All, we arrived home safely around 8.30 last night, no dramas.

On behalf of the committee, i would like to Thank those of you who attended Bathurst  and made it another successful National Meet. It was great to catch up with old members and meet new ones.A Big Thank You.

To James,Rita, Trevor & Julie, their hardwork and effort behind the scenes should not go unnoticed....A Big thank You from the rest of the committee, and also to the committee for their help and support.Once again you have pulled off another successful meet. Well Done.

To our Sponsors, without them, these National Meets could not continue without their financial support. Another Big Thank You.

This year we have had some extra support through various members donating items in support of this club. Mary & Dragan .... Autographed photo from John Bowe, Jeff  & Cheryl ....... Bottle of Ports (and the Special number 1 bottle), David Fromm........ Bottle of Brandy ( Hope you enjoy April) and to Morris's son .........

Regards
Paul & Liz
(pussy & pussy's trainer)

What an amazing weekend!

It was great to catch up with everybody this year and it wasn't without it's dramas. It seems to be the time of year when the Eureka wants to show you who's boss and decides to break down or just simply not want to co-operate!

Our trailer was fixed after cracking a wheel bearing somewhere between Kilmore and Bathurst and we left Bathurst at about 2pm Monday with 4 new wheel bearings, 4 new tyres and an empty wallet. The Eureka didn't get out much at all over the weekend, but at least we didn't tow it home broken or drive it home on fire which was the case last time we were at Bathurst!  :o

Saturday night dinner was full of laughs thanks to everyone who took the time out to dress up. Paul and Richard L, those morph suits really should have come with an merkin!! To those of you who are coming along next year up the ante and get all dressed up, it really makes the night more memorable and fun.

I would like to thank all those people who made the event a success, in particular James and Trevor. Thanks also to the sponsors and those who contributed items for the auction and it goes without saying that a big thank you also goes to those who placed bids.

Just 1 last thing, how good were our meet shirts this year?! Well done Shane and the team at Joust, the shirts were exceptional and a real stand out.

Glad to hear everyone got home safely and can't wait until the next meet.

Mez  O0 - Still lovin' the afro!

 ;D ;D  Home safe have sold my 8 ball table, just seeing the white and black ball on the same tabel has put me off the game. " You had to be there."
     Thank you Guy's you made me look respectable and that is hard to do, great time, good company and an excellent Hotel.

     I am putting $30.00 a week away for next years event, also maximum appreciation to the Committee for all their hard work, even James I guess. The club finances took a hit covering the up-grade accommodations, Well Done, Good call.

     Next year I will be happy to pay full price how many times in your life do you get to stay in a 10 Star Hotel. A swap meet time next year even though Paul and that other Guy may have part's no-body want to swap. Ha, Ha, Ha.

     Those Bathurst Meet T shirts color, shape or shade even a larger person like me drew a crowd every stop, even though I was pointing to my Eureka apparently people have seen a Eureka before, Draw your own conclusions.

     Fully enjoyed the weekend, company, food, beverages and accommodation so much lets do it next year.....?

Well looks like we going to have another attempt at a FAMILY show.
 
Just got to figure out how to stop Paul and Richard attending and showing everyone their best and fairest.

Cant wait till the pics start coming.

From some suggestions it maybe STORY BOOK Characters but I have to look at every story book ever written before we go with that idea.
Gotta check all the details just in case there are any shady characters that Paul and Richard might find and dress like them.

David like you said the BLACK and WHITE balls on the eight ball table bring back some awful images.

Like everyone has said with sponsors and you the members attending it make's the effort totally worthwhile.

I would also like to take the time publically thank Rita for putting up with me over the past year and to be honest more like forever as I know from her side I spend a considerable amount of time on club matters and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for her patience.

regards

James

Hi RITA  :angel:
I think we would all like to thank you for allowing James the time to look after us so well   :) :-*

Highest regards Morris

Hi All,
Cathie and I has a fantastic weekend.
Thanks too all. Especially Rita but to all the committee for such a great job.
To all that couldn't attend like Stu and Ted etc. we missed you guys too. Hope you can make it next year.
Glad I managed to off-load all those parts. Only to happy to see them go towards new reek homes.
Not sure what Paul and Richard will do next year but I've got 12 month worth of counseling before thats an issue.
You can never carry too many tools when you drive a reek.
Again thanks everyone. Loved it.

Your new Green VP
 :evl: Peter  :evl:

Hi all
especially Trev the Treasurer.
Those at the meet would know I won the biddding for the lifters.
I have decided not to pay for them and I am now with Rhonda and Katoot in Bali or Thailand or wherever we are !
I have mounted the lifters on my lazy boy sun lounge, so I can see the sunrise at all angles and they work a treat - it is the way coolest thing going - everyone is looking at me...so I figure it must look good...perhaps a patent is in the air ? Photos soon.
Only joking guys...the money was paid today Trev...buddy.
Ken
