Anyone interested in a COG at Glenreagh starting Monday 24 March 2025 or dates to be determined there abouts.

Consensus is that Glenreagh has proved a popular location for us.

What say you??

Depending on my circumstances I'm keen too.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Confirmed the booking with Glenreagh Committee today.

Maggie and I are booked in for the full week. That is Monday 24 and leaving Monday 31 March.

As in previous times I now need you all to ring the Showground and book in your own stay. When you do let them know you are with me, Derek Bullock so they keep us all together.

The number is 0428 582 314. Please do this as soon as you can and let me know when you have done so.

Cheers.

It's not been good, on top of the auto immune issue as well. I am staying positive that all will be OK.

At this stage I'm looking at 27th 'til the 31st, still think it'll be a bit muddy underfoot.

Just over a week to go and everything is good for the Recreation Grounds. If you haven’t booked yet then please do as we don’t want to tie up spaces if we don’t need them.

Started making sausages to take to the COG.

Will have a mix of Beef, Black Pepper & Red Wine, Chicken Continental and Pork Neuremberger.

Bought the meat and cut it up. Will do the grinding and stuffing later after Maggies crochet friend leaves.

Stuffing is a two person job.

Do you freeze your sausages before vacuum packing. It stops them squashing up.

THE COG IS CANCELLED.

Maggie and I drove down to Glenreagh and the weather has really closed in. Veryheavy rain all the way from Grafton with poor visibility.

The area is saturated and creeks are well and truly running high. They are saying this is going to be it all week and across the weekend.

Everyone who was still coming has been let know including the Recreation Ground.

We will make our way home.

Pouring rain here at MacLeean right now and I had a look at the rain radar for Glenreagh and a storm going through there as well.

Knowing that there was going to be a gathering of cast iron at Glenreagh the weather gods got in early and opened up the heavens. I don't think I've ever been to a COG where it didn't rain and hail, Broke, Thora the list goes on......

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Maggie and I didn’t want to go home after getting to Glenreagh and have been floating around the northern NSW Coast.

I think it has been one of the wettest weeks we have ever spent in the motorhome. Still cosy and enjoyable though.

You sure are right Rob. The weather gods have been against us this trip.

I had good intentions to get a camp oven out, but the rain hasn't stopped here.
100mm overnight.

Been bucketing down here this afternoon. We have been watching movies in the motorhome.

Yep, we woke to sun streaming through the roof vents which was nice and then a drive home in the sun and no windscreen wipers clacking back and forwards.

As for the next COG, I am not sure.

We are off to Hervey Bay in a few weeks for Easter and then a few weeks after that are heading off around the country so will be away most of the year all going well.

We don’t necessarily need to be there for it so perhaps someone may organise one during winter.
