Many believe that this was the first MR2 Nationals Meeting, which I guess it was. It was from that meeting a suggestion to hold an MR2 Nationals meeting in other States of Australia on a regular basis was made.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;However it was not until four years later in 2007 that a truly MR2 Nationals Meeting was held in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory was organised. This was followed by the MR2 Nationals 2009 in Bathurst, NSW, the MR2 Nationals 2011 in Bright, Victoria, the MR2 Nationals 2013 in Hobart, Tasmania, the MR2 Nationals 2015 in Brisbane, QLD and the MR2 Nationals 2017 in Adelaide, SA.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;This year we are heading back to Canberra, where it officially began, so lets make it a big one.&amp;nbsp; It will be a great sight to see plenty of MR2's gracing the streets of our Nation's Capital again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;We have secured 25 rooms at The Statesman Hotel in Curtin.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.statesmanhotel.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="http://www.statesmanhotel.com.au/"&gt;www.statesmanhotel.com.au&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Balcony Deluxe Rooms (double or twin) - $129 per room per night&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;King Rooms (4 only) - $149 per room per night&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;**Call them to reserve your room.&amp;nbsp; Credit card required, but no payment taken until you arrive.&amp;nbsp; Make sure you mention MR2 Nationals for the special pricing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4vvk27ihjnb4je/MR2%20Nationals%20Canberra%20Final%20-%20Event%20Details.pdf?dl=0&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0x9US7U7TFvau2GqnM0anwPhsHOLlbcRswB3fGzVc2J0lRpJrzyxPUVaw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4vvk27ihjnb4je/MR2%20Nationals%20Canberra%20Final%20-%20Event%20Details.pdf?dl=0&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0x9US7U7TFvau2GqnM0anwPhsHOLlbcRswB3fGzVc2J0lRpJrzyxPUVaw"&gt;Final Program&lt;/a&gt; will include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;* Arrive Friday 4th October at Statesman Hotel - MR2 Headquarters&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;* Saturday 5th October - Black Mountain Tower Morning Tour, Cotter Reserve BBQ for lunch&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;* Sunday 6th October - Parliament House Visist &amp;amp; Show and Shine and Dinner at the Statesmen&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;(* Optional Extra:&amp;nbsp; Goulburn for Wakefield Park Track Day Challenge 8 - 9 October)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Registration is essential&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;To register your spot:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Read carefully on the conditions of entry.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fill in&amp;nbsp;your details and sign the attached entry form.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pay the entry fee to the MR2 Owners’ Club of Australia (VIC Branch) Inc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scan &amp;amp; email the form to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:nationals@mr2club.com"&gt;nationals@mr2club.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/181575442502402/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/181575442502402/"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;ost:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;$55 (per car &amp;amp; driver, passenger free) this includes:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;BBQ at Cotter Dam&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standard Parliament House Tour (Behind the scenes can be arranged, depending on numbers &amp;amp; would cost extra - TBA)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedicated MR2 Parking for Show 'n' Shine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Complimentary 10 days membership to the VIC MR2 Club (if not already a member)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/181575442502402/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/181575442502402/"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>https://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/142816</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Sep 2019 22:10:28 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
