Highway Wanderers-Deni Newsletters

The Craft Barn in the capable hands of Chrissy Euctase is shaping up to become one of the most comprehensive ever offered to our members. Chrissy has some 30 teachers convening many classes.

Venue for the craft barn will be in a marquee with clear sides which will provide an attractive work area for our members who sign into the various classes.

How it all works – Chrissy has established a team of craft people who will conduct classes to pass on their creative talents to our members. On Day one of the Rally these teachers will set up a demonstration table in the Craft Barn to allow our members the opportunity to view what is available to them. Members then choose which activities to enroll in. Some activities involve a cost which is to cover the cost of materials used in the session. Session times and instructor names will be displayed in the Rally Program that will be handed to you on your arrival to the site. The Program will also be on our website when it has been finalized.

Display of Arts and Crafts. We have a huge number of talented members and we have the opportunity to display a variety of works in the Trade Shed which has a large area of display cabinets. If you have a piece of work or several you would like to display bring them to the Rally. Share you items with others by putting them on display.

A variety of Seminars/ Workshops is already planned. The Deni Golf Club Conference Room has been hired as the venue for seminars. We will also be using other venues including the Men’s Shed and 1 or 2 marquees.

Ukulele Beginners Workshop. NOTE prior booking for this workshop is essential as the presenter provides a new ukulele to each participant – they are tuned prior to the class at the Rally. A cost of $40 per participant is levied to cover the cost of a ukulele {Valued at $45] workbook and tuition.

Ukulele Players Workshop. NOTE prior booking necessary. Cost $15. This workshop is for those who completed the beginners workshop at Port as well as for uke players in general who wish to further develop playing skills and technique, or just enjoy some musical fellowship and fun. Interested parties should contact Rob Nichols personally by phone 02 49598078 , 0407298060 or email rob2roam@bigpond.com to register interest.

First 400 members to register for an unpowered site will be invited to enter the Rally site on Sunday the 10^th April. Entry will be by INVITATION ONLY absolutely no exceptions. Invitations will be sent out from NHQ with your registration receipt. You MUST bring this receipt to gain entry.

The Power upgrade by the Deniliquin Council is still in progress so at this stage we are unsure of just how many powered site will be available = it will be 300+. Exact numbers will be known prior to Christmas. All powered site have been allocated with quite a large waiting list pending the Council finalizing the upgrade.

A Kid’s Club will be held at the Rally if we get enough participants. Parents wishing to make use of the Club for their children MUST register their children prior to the rally. Our Kid’s Club Organizer plans on running two sessions daily, Tues – Frid. If you will be attending the Rally and have Primary School aged children that would like to participate in this exciting program Register now on 0408554580 or email denirally@bigpond.com.

Pamper Room There have been many requests to set up a Pamper Room at rallies where members can have a neck or head massage, have a trim, facial waxing or even a manicure. If you are a trained beautician or hairdresser and would like to spend some time working in the Pamper Room please contact us.

During April 2011 the CMCA will be holding the 25th Anniversary Rally in Deniliquin in Southern new South Wales.

As Deniliquin is in easy reach from anywhere in Australia we are urging Austwide Chapters / Special Interest Groups of the CMCA to make the Deniliquin Rally the Site for their April 2011 Get-to-gether.

The Rally will offer many great attractions that will provide your Chapter/ Interest Group members with a very good reason to make a visit to Deni.

Deni itself is a very interesting town with a link to Australian history through the development of the Merino sheep. The Peppin Information Centre and Museum is located in Deniliquin.

Memorial Park, the site of the Deni Rally is located within the town area and only some 500 metres from the main shopping precinct which will give members the opportunity to walk into town should they wish. Shuttle buses will also provide a service to town.

Old favourites such as Poets’ Breakfast, Photographic Competition, Craft Activities, Seminars, Disc Bowls, Evening Entertainment and of course Morning Tea will be included along with some new ideas that I hope to be able to develop into the program.

Being the 25th Anniversary Rally special activities will be held to mark the occasion.

There will, as usual, be limited powered sites. If you can go with out power please do so and this may allow a club member who needs power to attend the Rally.

The first 400 members to register for an UNPOWERED SITE will receive an invitation to enter the Rally site on Sunday April 10th. Your invitation will be sent out from National Head Quarters with your official receipt for your Rally registration. There are no official functions organized for the 10th. However the Deniliquin RSL will be open for business providing meals and live entertainment. The RSL Courtesy bus will run to the site on this evening.

Regular Rally updates will be forwarded to your Chapter/ Special interest Group in the lead up to the Rally. We will also be posting information on our website at www.denirally.com

The 25th Anniversary Rally commences on the 11th April 2011. Let’s all celebrate together this very special occasion.
