Things have been moving on the organisation of this fabulous, fantastic, fun weekend. Maryborough is only a three hour drive from Melbourne, so with an early start, you could easily be there by lunch time on Saturday. Even if you can only stay for One or Two nights, it will be a lot of fun.
The Ballarat BARG Hamfest is scheduled for the same weekend, and it is only a half hour drive from Maryborough, so this is something that we can incorporate into the weekend festivities.
