Yay!!!

Not long now Crew....

An update.

Sites 1 - 5 at Myrtle Park have been booked.  Each site is big enough to cater for 3 or 4 campers.  These sites are nearest to the amenities block, but the furthest ones from the entrance....

Thanks to DannyG for pestering Launceston City Council to get them to open their booking system.

Camp fees for the weekend will be per CT (including a firewood levy):

1 night   $25
2 nights  $40
3 nights  $50

This is per couple.  No charge for billy lids....  Singles half price....

jillsy will let us know in a further post when she has set up a store link for payment...

The proposed weekend schedule looks like:

Friday Night BBQ (donation) delivered by Brett & Jill.
Saturday guided beach drive from Bridport to Bellingham led by Vaughan.  Vehicles will need to air down and have some form of basic recovery gear.  Vaughan will add to later.
Saturday Night DannyG has indicated that he can bring his smoker to prepare a meal.. Thinking about a $10 cover charge per member to cover costs.  others can toss up a salad...?
Sunday, Again, Vaughan has indicated that he will lead a casual cruise to the Pub in the Paddock @Pygena.  Members would then do their own evening meals.
Monday depart as you wish.

Comments on the above are welcome.

Cheers, Mace.

The Store has been updated with a Camping Fees button...

Just confirming that those in bold on the first page are the only ones attending? Just trying to sort out some minor details for a surprise for those who do attend.

Hi,
   Ditto, paid for 3 nights but not bold on the list (yet).
Just hope I can shake off this flu (neg RAT) in time, cause I'm sure not sharing it with any one.

Have updated it again Vaughan with all camping fees received to date.  I know for sure that Speewa and MsTree are definitely coming as well...

Mine probably needs to read 2 adults. I put 4 down in case kids or friends wanted to join but so far can't be certain.
