Murray Bridge Autofest 2008

[les adams]

Hi all,thought i would start early in the lead up for the 2008 Autofest remembering its now only 8 months away.
Booked our accommodation recently and was suprised when the lady told me that 47 boats have already been booked so for those wanting accommodation i would sugest you get in now.
Was over in Murray Bridge the other weeks for meetings with Council,Police and SA Goverment in regards to our future plans and all is looking great.
Some of the things put on the table were,inproved public safety,catering,security,more parking and more marketing Murray Bridge as a destination
Anyone with IDEA`S on how to improve what we do don`t be shy,let us know and we will see what we can do.
Also have had plenty of people enquiring about trade sites and for those wanting to secure a site email the team at [email protected]

Catch you all soon
Regards Les

MEDIA RELEASE





Murray Bridge Autofest 2008.





South Australians should be proud that their Goverment are sponsoring the Murray Bridge Autofest 2008




This has got to be Great news for all car enthuists as it does show that some Goverments do see the benifits that we all bring to their regions.Springnats in Victoria is also sponsored by the Victorian Goverment.As in any sponsorship these partnerships are an important part on the makeup of any event and a must at keeping prices to the Entrant and Spectator to a minimun.

We all under stand that as costs of hire,insurance,employment etc etc continue to increase we need to continue to attract corporate sponsorship to help keep costs to you as low as possible as well as also lifting the profile of our sport/hobby.



The Rural City of Murray Bridge is continuing its strong suport and have already finding ways on how the Supercruise could be extended as well as increased public parking areas.



ALSO you can Enter the Show and Shine ONLY for $100.00 and this also pays for TWO people and an Event T-Shirt But cannot be apart of any driving events apart from the Supercruise.

Besides the super-strong line-up of events that make up Springnats, expect to see some of the country’s top feature cars on display around our trade stand, which will hold a wide array of merchandise, back issues, DVDs and other branded paraphernalia for you to sample. We’ll bring you more information on which of our top feature cars will attend the show as the weeks progress.

Springnats is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and the event is set to go off with a mighty bang! Watch as the monster skidpan roars into life with driving events and demonstration drifting, burnouts and a ton more action.
