Scootaville.

Well, with a bit of luck and the breeze behind, Scootaville will be held in September this year. We'll get together at the Rosewood Showgrounds on the morning of the 1st September (Thursday) and head off on the Saturday 3rd September, arriving Townsville on the 16th September (a friday).

Towards mid-May we'll send out a form seeking participants. We know a lot of you have filled in the form before but with all the stoppages etc, unfortunately we need it again. We'll have a lot more info in that mail out too, there are still a few things that have to be finalised, media, advertising, rail back from Townsville etc and there is a chance we'll have a few Kiwis join us.

More later.

Raffles.

All our fundraising raffles have been run and won, we raised a total of $11,024 which is marvelous, costs were $3,449.81, which means we cleared $7,574.19. A big thanks to everyone who took part.

Below are the results of the most recent two. Click the pics for a bigger view.

Visiting a RAAF, Army or Navy Base.

Anyone who has been onto a RAAF, Army or Navy Base lately will know it's a bit of a mission. You have to watch a video which gives you all the Dos and Don'ts, then you fill in a form then you go to the Pass Office and get signed in.

There is an easier way, you can do most of it at home before you leave. Here's how:

Buying a new car?

If you’re contemplating buying a new car, we could save you thousands. The Radschool Association has done a deal with Australia’s biggest car brokers whereby you can purchase a car (your choice of make, colour, specs etc) at fleet discount prices.

One of our blokes made use of this facility recently and bought a Toyota Rav4 and saved thousands. You can too!

To see further details, go to the Radschool Assoc home page (HERE) then click on “New Car Purchase”.

Discounts.

Current financial members can now receive a 12% discount on the base rate of the day when hiring a car from Thrifty. If you’re thinking of hiring a car or an SUV or a people mover, this could save you heaps. If you’re a member, send us an email HERE and we’ll send you the promo code.

Errors

Our aim is to have this site error free – but that’s probably impossible. But with your help I reckon we can get pretty close. If you see any errors, be they punctuation, spelling, links that don’t work, facts wrong etc, (no matter how small) please let us know so we can fix them.

Thankfully, Ken Morris, who lives over in the West, proof reads our print before it goes public and points out our many errors, not a lot escapes him I can tell you!   

Thanks Ken.
