Ten reasons you may have thought of NOT to come
– and the reason why they are crap.

1. I don’t own a ute.

There are two obvious solutions to this. One, buy a ute. Two, pretend your car is a ute and get over it. Plus there will be plenty of people there who have utes and I’m sure they’d let you sit in the drivers seat and pretend for a while.

2. I’ll get my car dirty.

Yes you will. But a pathetic reason not to attend. There are two car washes at the start of the freeway so no-one in town will ever need to know.

3. I don’t like rum and coke.

Then you’re obviously mad. But there will be lots of other bevvy’s there that you’re sure to like. If you can’t find anything you like – then you’re fussy and there will be water for people like you.

4. I’ve never been to a B&S before.

Then that is the perfect reason to go to this one. I’m assured they’re very gentle with first timers.

5. It’s too expensive.

This is the crappiest excuse ever. If you didn’t spend $100 on this weekend (which is a non-for-profit event suppporting the local community) then you’d probably waste it on booze (which you’ll find at Sandblasters), food (which you’ll also find at Sandblasters) or getting into a place where you can pick up (which you’ll definitely find at Sandblasters) see a pattern here? Booze, food and potential pick up all for $100 – it’s a bargain!

6. I’m not a Bachelor or a Spinster.

That’s okay. Lucky you. They’re a welcoming bunch and as long as you don’t mind being hit on by the old wandering Bachelor or Spinster in search of love (or something similar) then come and enjoy a weekend amongst someone other than all your coupley friends.

7. I’m too old.

If you think you’re too old or people are telling you that you’re too old – then this is the perfect chance to prove them wrong. A weekend of not acting your age is what this is all about. And unless you invite some of your less approving mates to join you – it’s unlikely that anyone you know will see you in all your juvenile, immature glory.

8. I like to have a shower in the morning.

Well, we should hope so. For that reason there will be an area for you to freshen up in the morning. Oh, and there are also toilets facilities provided in case you thought we were completely feral.

9. It’s too far away.

Rubbish. People who live in Sydney drive this far to work everyday and I don’t think they find all you can drink spirits at the end of their journey. Think of this as a cultural road trip – learning how the half live.

10. There’s nowhere to sleep.

This is the most common excuse. And yet there are so many answers. You could choose not to sleep or you can sleep in your car, you can bring a tent, a swag or even a Winnebago. Or you could come “bed less” and hope to find a kind soul who is willing to share.
