UPDATE:

*ALL Bunkhouses are now booked, but there is still plenty of room on the Observing Field for more tents

*The owner of the Camp has placed a giant permanent rope fence along the front of the camp where some people parked their Caravans in the past. This will make it difficult for those that want to put vans out front. You will have to park them inside, somewhere.

*Also, (in his weird wisdom) he has plowed up 2 long garden beds seperating the Observing/Camping Area from the main Camp
which has now made it hard to drive onto and off the observing/camping area!

The easiest way to drive onto the field now will be to drive through the main Camp, out between the cabins and onto the field.
This will give his field MORE damage as now all the cars will have to drive through the same place creating a track!

Vehicles will have to be driven in, unloaded, then driven back out if you will need to use your car while at camp, or leaving before Tuesday Morning. Otherwise your car will be trapped in there.

*He has blocked off one of the Entries into the Camp. The one between the Rec Room and the BBQ area.

*The Entry near the Field can still be used, but it's not much use any more. It doesn't help with access to the Field, and anyone parking in there will just get in the way of power cables.
Truly, he has stuffed this up (and I let him know).

It appears that all enty and exit will need to be made using the Drive through Entry between the Shower Block and the Kitchen
We will find a way to use the Camp the way he has changed it. They are only minor things, but annoying all the same.

*BUNKHOUSE ALLOCATIONS:
here are your Bunkhouse allocations for those that booked a Bunkhouse (also showing modifications the owner has made)

Hi Ken

Maybe I have missed something but I would like to point out that Shane's
performance clashes with Trevor Hand's Presentation.

Hope this can be fixed.


Cheers
Richard

Ahhhh, thanks Richard.

That's what happens when I get confused (which is often)

I will talk with Trevor and see if we can move him later an hour

Caravan access to field

Ken,

just to check, are you confident that caravans will fit through the entry between the Showers & Kitchen.

My van is 26 feet from hitch to bumper and by the time the Pajero is attached its about 40 feet long. It's also 8 feet wide and I need at least 3.4 meters of clearance above the van.

I recall lots of low wire in the courtyard and not much of a turning circle.

Bit concerned that I wouldn't get the van through that access to the observing field .

Paul

Paul, I reckon we will have to get your van and Doug's big Van in through the normal Field entry and park them where they use to be parked.

It can be done, but that entrance just won't be able to be a 'drive through' for everyone like it was.

Sounds good

I'm trying to free up some extra time to spend 4 nights at the camp this year.

With missing the March Camp, and as I'm about to dip my toe into the water with imaging, thought I'd use the camp as a means to fast track my learning.

Was getting worried I didn't have a spot to sleep ....

Getting close now

Looks like Ken's got a solution so all good
