Murray Bridge Autofest

[les adams]

Hi all, thought I would start early in the lead up for the 2009 Murray Bridge Autofest remembering its now only 6 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 springnats@hotmail.com

MEDIA RELEASE


All Roads Lead To Murray Bridge For The Australia Day Weekend 2009
For The Murray Bridge Autofest and the Murray Bridge Racing Club's Beach Party Race Day.


Together both organizations will be promoting South Australia. A brilliant blend and have named this annual weekend the Murray Bridge "Brilliant Blend" of Horsepower.

Advertising both events will be via multimedia nationally but with the main consideration given to Victoria, NSW and of course South Australia.
Competitors for both events have already entered from most states of Australia and it is expected that spectators will do similar giving a HUGE boost to the local Murraylands economy.

This has got to be great news for all car enthusiasts and horse racing fans alike as it shows that when organizations get together with a common goal much can be achieved and benefit the great region of the Murraylands.

The Murray Bridge Autofest, runs over the entire Australia Day Weekend, will have all the HIGH OCTANE events such as the Go To Whoa, Motokana, Dyno Comp, Shine N Shine, Incar Stereo Comp, Trade Displays, Supercruise and everyone's favorite the Burnout Comp.
Team Extreme will also making their first SA visit and together with their awesome Supercharged weapons are sure to Excite All

Murray Bridge racecourse may be 50km from the beach, but that's not stopping the club from putting on what could be the biggest beach party of the year! The race day is a celebration of our great Aussie lifestyle, and what better way to celebrate than having a race meeting at the beach along with fast cars and fast horses.

Feature event on the day is the $20,000 Hallett Ski Boat Australia Day Cup which always attracts a competitive field of horses. One lucky patron on the day will win a River Wren Houseboat Holiday generously donated by Riverglen Marina.

Enjoy an ice cold beer or Daiquiri at the Beach Bar, grab some prawns off
the BBQ, and get into the trackside atmosphere. There'll be racing, a sssensational swimwear parade, live music and lots of fun things for the kids. It will be a fantastic place to be on Australia Day, and it's an easy 45-minute drive down the freeway from Adelaide.

The Rural City of Murray Bridge is continuing its strong support and welcomes all visitors to the region to enjoy what is on offer.

Pity you couldn't have updated your website with the program details for the weekends event. It was my first time attending and not one sign on the main road of Murray Bridge. A simple "autofest "and arrow would have made life easier, heard the same complaint from many people. Event itself was good but $30 for the day was abit steep, considering there wasn't that much to see on Saturday.
