Really looking forward to this.....
Newcastle Co.Down is a fantastic place; I have spent many great weekends there, camping in Tollymore and Castlewellan Park.
Start saving that sterling!

Excellent the same guy did the bus movie.

 

[Pete67]

Yes, it is Damon Ristau who did the Bus Movie, I must have enjoyed it at least 20 times now! So excited and looking forward to welcoming you all to the jewel that is Newcastle, in the Kingdom of Mourne. I have been looking forward to the Bug Movie since it was announced Damon was making the prequel, but to watch it as a drive in movie / communal vw experience - now that will be a memory for many a year.

Looking forward to catching up with you all at Jumpstart.

Well done to all involved NCC, NBOC and Eircooled for such an imaginative and creative event.

 

[Pete67]

What a line up of events on the Emerald Isle. Love getting out and hitting the road with that wee aircooled whistle!

 

[Brian Raftery]

Should be a great weekend, can't wait, don't forget to organised some good weather as well!!!!

 

[Coxy]

This is going to be epic!

Peter and the guys have put a huge amount of work into making this once off event the best it can be so hats off to all involved.
There are movie premieres of The Bug Movie scheduled to happen around the globe but very few are drive-in movie premieres so this really is an exclusive event.

The Mourne Cruise could be our version of the Californian Caravan which has gone down in VW history and reported in so many magazines and documentaries so there's no reason we can't emulate it. Back in 1984 a convoy was organised for the trip to Bug-O-Rama but by the time it got to Sacramento it was nearly a 200 VW strong convoy..........we can surely beat that

It'll be a VW filled weekend. I can't wait

 

[RattyOval]

sounds fantastic

 

[Coxy]

The Bug Movie is happening on Saturday 28th May and the Limerick Show is on the following day so perhaps a mini caravan of VWs could be organised for those looking to maximise their VW overload that weekend? Convoy to Limerick anyone? That way you're getting two events in one weekend!

 

[Mikey]

That's perfect, two good events in one weekend.

I'd be on for the convoy.

 

[Pete67]

Guys,

thanks for all the positive comments and support. Sorta can't believe this is all coming together. A big dream coming to reality. The guys at Newcastle Community Cinema were sold on the idea from the start and bringing all their local knowledge, experience and expertise to this. The Mournes and Newcastle is a pure jewel of a place. Its a very special place for me, earliest childhood holidays were there and then fell for the Mourne Mountains.

I can tell Cathal has fallen for the idea of the cruise - like the connections with So Cal - flip we will do our best and good weather is guaranteed!! You will love the drive along the Coastline. I feel like Dougal: I didn't know you had to follow up one good idea with lots of other good ideas!! If the cruise is going to be significant (which it looks like it will be), getting things passed by the authorities and looking into PSNI help etc. And let's see what other fun we can dream up.

Top Job on the organising of this one, Looking forward this event...

 

[Pete67]

Delighted to announce that Dave Manning Pianoman and star of the Bus Movie is flying in to Belfast from Edinburgh on Sunday morning 29th May the day after the Drive in Movie and joining us for a Lazy Sunday in Newcastle. The fun will continue in the Anchor Bar Newcastle (lunch time / afternoon) as Dave entertains us with stories from the open road and with his music in his own inimitable style.

Dave travels the length and breadth of the US and beyond in Vincent his 1966 Sundial conversion camper that he bought when he was 18, he gigs all over the place.

If you don't know Dave - just watch the Bus Movie on Vimeo or the trailer for the Bus Movie. he is a real character and the real deal - when we were in conversations with him at one stage he went offline for two weeks as he was camping in his 66 Sundial Bus in the Arizona Desert!

Maybe someone can post a link.

Guys we are nearly nearly there with tickets (we promise!!) just nailing down last few legal items with the council. Tickets could go live as soon as Friday. They will be posted to the aircooled communities on NBOC and EIRCOOLED simultaneously so everyone gets the same chance.

NCC are in charge of tickets and how many we can accommodate and are working so hard for us all. Will post up full information as it comes in.

So as well as the cruise, the Movie, we are working towards a Lazy Sunday, where we can all kick back and chill in the Mournes with a vw legend.

Looking forward to catching you all at JUMPSTART - great seeing the buzz about that.

[RattyOval]

Super. Cant wait
Thanks for organising

 

[Pete67]

Great news. Council signed off on the drive in movie at the end of last week and we can start selling tickets. Now we are badgering them about camping permission in the park. Working hard for you all. Personally, I have booked the entire weekend into the Monday off and booked an apartment for the family!

TICKETS are being sold exclusively to the aircooled community through Eircooled and NBOC for two weeks before going on sale to general public. NCC have set the ticket numbers due to how many cars we can accommodate on the site. We expect tickets will sell out fast. So do book your tickets when the link and tickets go live.

It is our dream to have the vast majority of cars at this ole dubs! What a sight and experience that will be.

Newcastle and the Kingdom of Mourne is pure beauty.


As we get closer I will post about Cathal's Sunshine Cruise to the Movies (CSCM)!!

Thinking meeting 12noon at the Shore Car Park (Osbourne Terrace) in Warrenpoint and taking the coast road all the way to Newcastle for a relaxing afternoon in Newcastle and enjoy the pre movie buzz. Happy for comments on timing, want it to be realistic to give peeps who are travelling a distance good time to get there.

Plenty of time to work that all out. Can chat things through at JumpStart. Get those shades on Cathal!!
