Update on Date
My attempt at setting a "Date" for the reunion which does not coincide with the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix may soon be settled if the this report is correct:
Melbourne still not guaranteed 2007 opener - 20 July 2006
'(The 2007 race) could be March 4, 11 or 18.'
While March 4 and 11 are likely to be season-open spots, March 18 - or the third weekend in the month - is traditionally the date for F1's second race.
Australia's 'Herald Sun' newspaper, meanwhile, reported that the latter date is most 'likely' for the Albert Park event of 2007.
'(The FIA) is expected to confirm the grand prix dates by the end of the week,' the newspaper article added.
It seems that "The Movers and Shakers" of Melbourne Events might have organised more events for March than "you can point a stick at". The city appears to have been double booked, with the World Swimming Championships set to commence on March 17.
Watch this space.
