That might be a goer.
May be well enough to travel by then.

Good time of year to stand around camp fires.

Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.

Hi Muzza,

Just checking the site about whats doing and to let you know Russell and Topknot will be at Casino, rain, hail or shine. I have looked at the site and it looks good. It would be good if we could make a block booking together at Casino.

Having a good shoot,

Topknot alias Jilli

Well I was looking forward to going to this Heritage/Camp Oven festival in Casino this weekend, organised with my sister a couple of months ago to come down this weekend and attend.
My sister lives in Casino so I thought that would be good, somewhere to stay and go and check the event out. Get a phone call from her yesterday and she says there is a blurb in the local paper about the event, she says, the way I read it you have to be actually staying at the village to attend the event.
I think….No, that couldn’t be right…….surely. I said there is nothing on there web site to that effect. So I will give them a call to confirm…….Oh yes sir, you do need to be staying with us to attend this event, I think to myself WHAT THE!!!
It makes me wonder why you would advertise the event in the local paper, if you were a local would you go and book into the local caravan park just to go, maybe some would I don’t really know.
Will fire them off a stern email today and see what happens.
Cheers

We got in as visitors to see PD and Muzz n Judy last year. Just went to the front office and asked to get in.
Getting out later that night was a different matter Sad

A huge electric security gate stopped us leaving and the office was shut for the night. We thought we were going to have to go looking for Muzz or PD to let us out. In the end a bloke came along in a campervan (coming in) ..he had a security pass / card for the gate and let us out.
If theres no comp on I wont bother going over for a look this year.

Seems as though there has been some cofusion and the village not stating exactly on either there web site or newspaper advert.

See reply below:

Dear Paul,

We apologise for the confusion of the ad in the paper and absence of the condition of entry on the web site.

Entry into the park to watch the Camp oven display and listen to the Bush Poets is free and the public are very welcome. However, to enter the competition you must be staying in the village.

Hoping you will be able to attend.

Thanks Lyn

Well we headed off to Casino over the weekend to have a look at the Heritage/Camp Oven turnout at CMAA, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be.

Intersting style of camp ovens, quite a few large ones made from truck rims that were quite inventive.

Ran into Salt Bush Bill at the Lismore markets on Sunday, pleasure to meet you Rory, next time I'm down I will take up that offer to come and have a look at your ovens.

I do have some pics of the day, I'm struggling to resize, if someone here would like to me email them the pics and resize them probably even post if you wish I'm happy to do so.

Cheers

Paul
