[ian]

One of the biggest social events for the club is in just a few weeks!

The annual Hanging Rock Car Show is on February 8th.I

It is the biggest car show held in Australia, with thousands of cars, bikes, and trucks assembling in one huge venue.

Our usual meeting point before cruising to the venue is the BP service station beside Calder Park Raceway on the Calder Freeway. NOTE we assemble at the back of the service station

The convoy will be departing at 7.00am sharp to ensure a smooth entry to our usual display area.

If you miss the convoy or are coming in from another direction, try to get on to the racecourse, as we will endeavor to occupy our usual position there.

Entry is $20 per display vehicle ($5 for spectators), and keep in mind that all display vehicles must be over 25 years of age to participate.

this is what you have to do if you want to go as a group
Clubs & Groups arrangements for attendance
Victoria Police and MRADMC traffic marshalls are at key points to direct traffic and their directions must be obeyed at all times.

For those car clubs attending the event and intending to park together the following steps should be followed

a) Meet somewhere close to form your group (ie Woodend - but not on the roads close to the reserve)
b) The lead car driver should know how many cars are in the group - and the details of the last car (colour - model)
c) Travel towards the event site by your preferred route in line (traffic conditions permitting)
d) As you pass each manned traffic point - first car to advise the club marshall of the group details
e) Marshalls will keep the group together as far as is practical and direct all to the same gate
f) At the gates - let the gate staff know that you are a group(as per b)
g) All vehicles must still meet the eligibility criteria for age

Staff in the driveways and parking areas will attempt to keep the entire group together taking into account the available spaces and traffic volumes at the time.
If for some reason you are split up - please note that once the peak taffic time has passed it is permissable to move vehicles around taking into account other vehicles, space and of course the pedestrians.

Under no circumstances may cars park in the driveway to regroup - there are thousands of vehicles moving in the opening hours and traffic delays impact the etire event and external roads

This process has worked successfully for many clubs over the years but it is important to note that at peak traffic times the Traffic Controller's primary objective is to keep the roads and access points moving and clear.
This MAY result in some splitting up of groups on first admission - if you assist us with these simple guidelines we will work to assist you have a geat event

If your club wishes to erect a small tent or picnic space - please remember not to set up until the parking area you are in is full and then make sure that you leave space for other patrons to move around and look at your cars and others nearby.
