Hi all,

Got an update from the tour operator that Mads and I have been speaking to today.

The good news is that rooms have been reserved for us. No deposit required just yet, and should covid intervene we will be off the hook even at only 24 hours notice.

The bad news is that the rates have gone up. Jimmy Barnes is playing that weekend in the Hunter and its a very busy time of year.

Here are the rates directly quoted from todays correspondence:

4 nights (Wed – Sunday)
$520pp (4 share within a 3 bedroom apartment)
$692pp(single share rooms within a 3 bedroom apartment)
3 nights (Thu – Sunday)
$425pp (4 share within a 3 bedroom apartment)
$566pp (single share rooms within a 3 bedroom apartment)
2 nights (Fri – Sunday)
$330pp (4 share within a 3 bedroom apartment)
$440pp (single share rooms within a 3 bedroom apartment)
If you book direct with the hotel the price would be around 40% more for that weekend

It is what it is. The accom is first class, but not cheap. At least we would be in the same place as a big group.
If this pushes anybody over the edge and you wish to find your own accom, by all means do so. Just let me know if you go elsewhere.

Apologies for previous information.
We will group people as best we can, or let me know your group of 3 or 4 as some have already done. As stated previously, I expect to be asking for deposit money mid-year, and for the whole deal to be cut off shortly after.

Cheers
Pig
