Cam,

In our list of Fees (in the 1st post) you will see that kids under 5yo are Free.
Well, your kids just got a year younger
They've all been demoted to being under 5yo

As for the Saturday Night Feast I'm sure we can come to an arrangement where you aren't paying a whole lot for some little tackers
I don't think they'll eat as much as a teenager


Just let me know these please: ?

Name: Cam
How many people: 3 Kids, 1 Adults
Number of nights: 2
Which nights: ?
Bunkhouse or camping: ?
Saturday night feast: ? Kids, ? Adults

Is that the problem, Big Dave is still a teenager. Could explain a lot but I think he must be dreamin' (and not just of the pav).

mmm, I thought I was under 5 actually. My wife often thinks my 4 year old is brighter!
Do you get a discount on the feast if just lining up for Dessert Only?

Thanks for ordering from our online shop Cam
but they come all the way from USA.

Their timing is pretty good though. Whenever I order something they have to put the order through their system, print it, then post it overseas to me and it usually gets here within 10 days.
That's faster than the 11-12 days it takes for mail to get to me from QLD!

Paula, I would hate to see you and your Hubby miss out on something you really want to do, but can't just because you are a week out from being able to afford it.

If you both want to attend, I hope I have the support of the Committee and members of the SVAA when I say 'book in and pay a week later when you can afford it'

I reckon we can help you out in this way

Book in
