Sorry should read January not Febuary

We are also working starting our opening times a bit later in the mornings so we can then go a little later in the evenings to keep us all COOL, whats your thoughts on this?

Hi all, thought I would start early in the lead up for the 2009 Murray Bridge Autofest remembering its now only 3 months away.
Booked our accommodation recently and was again surprised when the booking office told me that 53 boats have already been booked so for those wanting accommodation I would suggest you get in now.
The Murray Bridge Council, Police and SA Government have all been working together with us to again improve future plans and all is looking great.
Some of the things put on the table were, improved public safety, security, more Shade and more marketing Murray Bridge as a destination
Anyone with IDEA`S on how to improve what we do don�t be shy, let us know and we will see what we can do.
Also have had plenty of people enquiring about trade sites and for those wanting to secure a site email the team at [email protected]
