June

Navigate the highways and byways of this nation in style by establishing a base at Casino Village RV Resort. Be amongst like-minded travellers who understand the freedom of being able to go when the ‘itch needs to be scratched’ and return to base conveniently. On your return, drive into the Village, pull into your RV port alongside your manufactured home, open the door, hop out and go inside to rest. It’s as simple as that! How handy it is to plug into the power source in your RV port to recharge your rigs’ batteries if required. If you require a dump point on your return, our dump point is ideally located to empty your rigs’ tanks. If you have met other rig owners that would like to continue travelling with you, we have powered and unpowered sites to suit. You need not say goodbye on the road, they can stay onsite and enjoy the facilities and activities while you refresh, repack and get ready to go again.

RV travellers love to share their experiences, and as we’re specifically designed for RV travellers, you would be with those who understand what it is like when you would like to go into detail over a particularly nice sunset, the latest rig, or a difficult oil leak. You might like to join the ‘Richmond Valley Settlers’, the local Village Chapter, and enjoy their outings. Join the procession with residents and tourist rig owners as they travel to Rallies. Are you ready to roll into the Village?

Just as your rig is a moveable dwelling, our manufactured housing precinct is made up of manufactured homes built by approved builder’s offsite and trucked in, where they are then secured onsite. There are currently over 100 manufactured homes here. Must be a good idea! Stage 4 housing is currently available, with no shortage of interest from RV travellers.

Now is the time if you would like the fun of building anew or stepping into an existing manufactured home or cottage. If you would like more information about how to have a permanent housing base in the Village, please enquire to housing@casinovillage.com.au

Have you booked your site ready for the Bushman’s Heritage and Camp Oven Festival, to be held on 13 – 15 August 2010?

May

RV travellers traverse all over the nation. What direction do you take? This August ramble your way to Casino Village RV Resort for the Bushman’s Heritage and Camp Oven Festival weekend. To be held on 13 – 15 August 2010, the weekend includes bush poetry, a camp oven festival (warming up for 2011’s National Camp Oven Festival), and a Village Market day.

Listen, Taste, See, Browse and Buy – a Friday, Saturday and Sunday filled with variety.

Listen – Bush poets both new and old will bring to you, through rhyme and meter, a glimpse of Australia, Australians and the Australian way of life. Australian bush poetry originated as a means of communication about people, places and events of the time. It was also a form of entertainment. As it became more popular, a friendly competitiveness developed amongst the poets as they tried to capture and hold the audience’s attention. Still popular today, the bush poet’s artistry is here again. If you are a budding poet, there’s room for you too. Come along and have fun listening and/or entering into the competition categories, (see website for entry details as they are released).

Taste & See - If you are hungry, you will find a feed as camp ovens are put into action. Camp oven cooks will be stepping up to the challenge of presenting the most succulent table fare to the judges on the day. Learn from those experienced in this cultural art. Enter yourself and enjoy being creative in the purpose built camp oven pit, which onlookers can safely view (see website for entry details as they are released).

Browse & Buy – Wander amongst the stalls and have fun seeking that something special. Markets are so much fun! Come and spend some time browsing and buying at the Village Market Day on Sunday May 30, as part of Beef Week Market and Family Day, and August 15, as part of the Bushman’s Heritage & Camp Oven Festival weekend. If you are interested in booking a market stall for these markets or an upcoming market day at the Village, please phone 02 6662 1069.

There’s nothing quite like us! For a real view of RV based village life, you would do well to visit the Casino Village RV Resort. Recognised as a unique destination, the Village has been built to meet the needs of the RV traveller on the road and is a base for over 50’s RV travel. It is the place for RV travellers who are looking for a spacious site, as we have the room to provide for you. Built in 2003 with a vision in mind, we are currently developing Stage 4 of the manufactured housing precinct by releasing both manufactured home and manufactured cottage sites to eager Village approved builders. The demand for sites remains strong. Newly manufactured homes and cottages are already on sites in Stage 4, with more on the way. Beautiful existing homes for sale are an ideal alternative for those that choose not to build. It’s not too late for you to enquire about basing your future in an RV travel friendly environment where you can ‘be at home’ or ‘on the road’. The roomy sites in the manufactured home precinct enable you to park your RV and car alongside your manufactured home. This makes it easy for you to load up for your next journey as well as recharge your RV with convenience. Being ‘pet friendly’, your well behaved four legged friend is welcome (pet policy applies). Such a base gives you the freedom to choose to come and go without delay on your travels.

February

“No, not a rupture in the back, these discs travel as six packs, two in all with kitty and ropes in tow. Nine metres by three...yes even under a tree, just level so it rolls when you throw. Secure all the ropes and talk to the new folks that come out to watch the display. 4.5m is halfway, over which it must stray to be in, or the other can play. The marker sends the coin up with a flip, in front of the two skips...who will send the kitty to lay? Once it is decided, the lead sends it rolling, and yes...we’re ready to play. With three discs in hand, the lead has a plan as the kitty now centred, to stay. Toe to line here we go, no, it’s not all for show...just to kiss the kitty to stay. Two leads and two skips will each make the trip to the line to each have their way, with the disc that’s so neat, but looks like a seat, yet it rolls when it’s angled the right way. Now the twelve discs are through, the marker pushes through, “Stand aside, for the measurements to be made.” He calls to the scorer and reports what’s been sorted, for you know the decision’s been made. Now that end’s complete, at the other we’ll meet, and again we’ll step up to the line. Don’t get out of turn, or you will soon learn, that you’re minus one disc, oops, not planned! To keep it all neat, best use a score sheet, best of five ends will tally to see, which team of the two has made their way through to success, and ten ends for the disc bowls trophy.”

Get ready! The 2010 National Disc Bowls Festival is set for 17 – 22 May, 2010 at the Casino Village RV Resort. This is a recognised opportunity for experienced and novice disc bowlers to come together and have fun fun fun! Friendly competitors join the week of games, vying to have their names inscribed on the ‘Jacana’ perpetual trophy. This year’s categories are ‘Men’s Triples’; ‘Ladies Triples’; ‘Mixed Pairs’ and ‘Best Cheer Squad’. Be prepared as there are only three months to go. As with any game of disc bowls, skill is not necessarily the most important factor, so don't be put off if you have never played before... give it a go! Now is the time to get those disc bowls kits out and have fun practising with your friends and family. Draws will take place for those who may not have a predetermined team, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time! Registration is in person between 8am-11am on Monday 17 May, 2010 at Casino Village RV Resort (no advance registrations will be taken). Plus there’s more...why not book your site early and plan to stay on for Casino Beef Week, held from 22 May - 1 June. The theme for 2010 is the ‘Wild Wild West’. More details are available at www.casinobeefweek.com.au By staying on for Casino Beef Week, you are also positioned to enjoy the Beef Week Market & Family Day at the Village from 8am-1pm on Sunday 30 May, 2010.

January

Welcome to 2010! What a breath of fresh air a new year is. There is anticipation of fresh beginnings. One of the first big changes in the Village this year is the arrival of new home owners as part of the Stage 4 housing expansion. We are seeing people connect and interact as each one begins their new start with Casino Village RV Resort as their chosen home base for travel. The Village specifically caters for the lovingly called ‘Grey Nomads’ and sets a high standard above other villages, with the luxury of very generously sized housing blocks. It is so easy to be ready for your next ‘on the road’ adventure when your rig (RV) and car are parked alongside your new manufactured home here in the Village. Being a pet friendly Village allows you to accommodate your four legged travelling companion (pet policy applies) and appreciate the generous ‘off lead dog area’. The added freedom of not having to mow the lawn gives you more time to join in the Village activities or go sightseeing. There’s also room for your friends to come and stay for a visit in their RV’s, as the Village has abundant tourist sites to suit all recreational vehicles at reasonable tariffs. Why not invite the whole Chapter to see your new home? There are currently three Village approved manufactured home builders ready to assist your enquiries about owning your own manufactured home within Casino Village RV Resort. To be part of the current Village Stage 4 housing development, whilst it is available, please direct your initial enquiries to Manor Park Homes Ph: 1800 221 818, www.manor.net.au or East Coast Homes Ph: 07 5524 5443, www.eastcoastvillagehomes.com.au or Norfolk Homes Ph: 02 6686 6244. While visiting the Village be sure to view the East Coast Homes display home and display cottage and the Norfolk Homes display home while they are available, for an inside look at a manufactured home. If you are not yet ready to build, there are some beautiful ready to own pre-loved homes available – see the Village website for details at www.casinovillage.com.au/homes-for-sale


It’s paid!

The Village is pleased to announce that in November 2009, the final payment cheque was presented by Directors of the Board of RV Parks Australia Limited to Richmond Valley Council for the full payment of the purchase price of the airport site and water and sewerage equivalent entitlements on which Casino Village RV Resort resides.


Stalls of variety

Here in the Village we are building up to the next market day on Sunday, 31 January, 2010. They’ll be stalls with a variety of merchandise, visitors meeting locals, the aroma of fresh coffee, and a hot breakfast. It’s no wonder the Village market day is gaining in popularity. See the Village website www.casinovillage.com.au/events/marketday
