Easter Long Weekend at Narrogin

Friday April 14, 2017 - Monday April 17, 2017

: ,

This year we will be visiting and enjoying the town site of Narrogin and riding the quiet back roads that surround the town site. Narrogin is a large town in the wheat belt region, 192 km south east of Perth on the Great Southern Highway between Pingelly and Wagin, a 30 minute drive east of Williams. The town has many historical buildings, café’s, eateries, little shops and quiet back roads.

Accommodation:

We will be staying at Tony H’s residence, a long time CTA member, whose house is close to the centre of town. There are limited beds inside the house and if members require, they can bring their sleeping mats and bunk down on the floor. Preferably, members will be camping out on Tony’s back lawn. Depending on participation, tenting may be “wall to wall”. So bring your ear plugs. By the way, Tony has a rescue Greyhound which he has just adopted recently and depending how cold it gets, could be quite popular. He is a lounge lizard, the dog not Tony.

If you wish to attend this weekend but not stay at Tony’s house, there are two Motels, two Hotels offering accommodation, a few B&B’s or a caravan park. You are to make your own arrangements.

Food, what to bring, what is supplied:

You are to bring all your own food, towels and bedding. Tony supplies a place to stay, water and a shower. Bring your own trangias if you have them, just in case, as Tony has only one cooking top. A BBQ will be available and a large esky as well for cold drinks as it will help out Tony’s fridge.  Extra provisions may be available in town on Good Friday, otherwise on Saturday morning. There maybe not much open on Good Friday so plan your food and drinks.

Costs: $10/night, for three nights cost is $30.  Numbers are limited so first in best dressed.

Confirmation:

  1. Members who wish to attend this weekend are to confirm by email their attendance and stipulate if they want to camp out, take a bed, floor space or finding their own accommodation.
  2. You are to confirm if you want to pub it for the Sunday evening meal (see below).
  3. Email Stan, see address above.

How to get to Narrogin:

Members are required to drive down so carpooling may be an idea. Tony’s address will be supplied when confirmation of attendance has been made.

Itinerary:
Friday, 14th April 2017
Members are required to arrive at Tony’s house by 10:00am which should allow enough time for members to ‘make camp’ and/or sort their bedding.  Lunch is to be confirmed if available in town (it’s Good Friday) otherwise bring your own. We will be going for a short ride around town to see if anything is open and to help the local economy.  Narrogin has many historical buildings which we can visit or see.  The evening meal will be your own.  Suggest to bring a pre frozen meal for the first night.  Make it easy for yourself or you can BBQ
