NATIONAL MUSTANG CONVENTION 2005 AUCKLAND
21st October — 24th October

August  2005 Newsletter

Hi There Mustangers

Welcome to our second Convention Newsletter which we hope will provide you with more information on this exciting event.  This 2005 Convention is shaping up to be a beauty with Allan Moffat, Tom Sharplin and more importantly all you MUSTANG enthusiasts.   We are encouraging those folks with every-day drivers to show their vehicles because it gives the public a better perception of the range of Mustangs out there—not just those pristine show cars.  So all Mustangs are welcome at the 2005 National Mustang Convention here in Auckland.   

CAR SHOW

Until we know the final Car Show numbers we are unable to finalise the layout details. If your club is planning a club display and you would like us to allow for a group of cars to be together, please let us know by close of registration, Sept. 23rd.  We have space for about 140 cars with interesting trade stands. 

WINDOW CARDS

AMOC will be providing printed window cards as in previous years  BUT we will not be taking photos of your cars as you enter the Car Show venue. Should wish to have a photo of your car on the card you will need to provide your own photograph. The window card will be handed out at registration on the Friday evening.

REGISTRATIONS

As of Monday the 15th August there have been 63 rooms booked at the Waipuna Hotel. BE AWARE. As there is another function being held on the Friday evening we have now secured 83 rooms. Once those 83 rooms have been booked there will be NO MORE available. Yes that’s 20 rooms left at this point. However on Saturday/Sunday nights there will be plenty of spare rooms available as we are the only function at the hotel on those nights.   It is would recommended that you book NOW so you will not be disappointed.  Ring Melissa now on 0800 800 315 to secure your booking.

GLENBROOK VINTAGE RAILWAY : MUSTANG PARTS NZ SUPPORT

AMOC are delighted to announce that Wayne Lack from MUSTANG PARTS NZ LTD has agreed to sponsor the lunch at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway on the Sunday afternoon. Thanks Wayne. We have arranged to have 3 large marquees erected just in case the weather decides to be a little cold on the day. A reminder here that the train ride cost is your own care: $5.00 per child and $10.00 per adult. The train ride takes approx. 40 minutes return, - look out for any hold-ups. Games are planned on the day for all participants so the day will be lots of fun. There will be heaps of off street parking for all the Mustangs and please bring your own seats/folding chairs. To access your free lunch and drink you must be wearing your registration tag as there will be others at the railway on the same day.

GLENBROOK VINTAGE RAILWAY : PPG SUPPORT

The Management of PPG Industries have been kind enough to supply and arrange to have erected, 3 of their large Marquees at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway site on the Sunday.   These will be very handy should the weather be a little inclement on the day.  PPG are the world leaders in the Automotive Paint market and are big supporters of the American Muscle Car & Hot Rod sports both here in New Zealand and worldwide.    PPG’s  products are used by most of the leading accident repair shops and are available from  their PPG Platinum Distributors who are in all the main centres.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AS WITHOUT THEM CONVENTION COSTS WOULD BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER
