Hi Folks,
2015 Katana State Of Origin (S.O.O.) Update.
I have been in contact with The White Albatross at Nambucca Heads today and all accommodation has been booked out by another event for our planned S.O.O. weekend for the 7th and 8th of March 2015.
The only weekend in March 2015 now available for our S.O.O. accommodation needs are: Fri-20th, Sat-21st and Sun 22nd of March 2015. The location, amenities and great service at The White Albatross mean it is very popular and to ensure your accommodation early bookings are essential.
To help with members getting to know each other and the Kats we would like to do the same as this years S.O.O. and hope everyone is happy to book their accommodation at the same venue. The place that has been chosen is the White Albatross Caravan and Holiday Park on the breakwater in Nambucca. The park has a selection of accommodation: vans, cabins, villas and camp sites for the hardcore riders. There will not be a bulk booking, with members making their own individual bookings or arranging shared accommodation with other members/friends.
The White Albatross has an on-line booking service however, please book your accommodation by phone and if possible through "Caroline" as she is our Point Of Contact for K.A. members. Ensure you let Caroline know you are a Member of Katana Australia and when you make your accommodation booking also include "Katana Australia" as a reference for the booking, this reference is needed for the 10% discount. The 10% discount on the room rate is only available if booked by phone.
The V Wall Tavern at the entrance to The White Albatross has a very good menu (highly recommend the calamari) so there is no need to ride anywhere or walk more than 50 metres for food and drinks- yip yar!
Although the Saturday night will be the overnight stay for most members for anyone wanting to arrive before the Saturday and stay on after Sunday at this stage accommodation is available at the Park if desired.
O.K. folks time to start planning your ride for the S.O.O. To ensure your accommodation is locked in for the 21st of March don't leave it too long to book.
For anyone planning to attend the 2015 S.O.O. could you please post a reply here with your username and first name. Also, when you have booked your accommodation please let me know by posting here and the list will be updated.
For the QLD riders anyone wishing to be in the group ride to Nambucca the meet-up point is the Shell Servo on the corner of Granard Road and Beatty Road Rocklea. Arrive anytime you like however, be fueled up and ready to roll for an 07:00 departure. The route down has been planned and there will be new sections to ride for the 2015 run to the S.O.O.
Rocklea - Kyogle = 198km - 1st fuel stop.
Kyogle - Grafton = 132km. 2nd fuel stop and Lunch.
Grafton - Dorrigo - Nambucca Heads = 180km.
All going well the plan is to arrive in Dorrigo at 3:30 p.m. NSW time. (2:30 p.m. QLD time)
***Anyone with VJMC historical plate are welcome as Frankie have organised with VJMC and it is officially on the calendar for 20th, 21st and 22nd of March.***
Note: You must bring your VJMC membership card with you just in case the police check.
Don't forget there is not going to be an S.O.O. in 2016 due to the Katana 35th Anniversary bash being held in Albury so after the 2015 S.O.O. it will be two years before you see the next S.O.O. in 2017!
