I'll bring some chalk to scare you away ;).      beers Ted

What colour chalk do you want to use? I still have some packs of yellow.  ;D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Ted has confirmed, and has already booked in.  I think Mudpuddler is joining him from Canberra as well.

I got a fairly cold reception when I called the Caravan park about having lots of people staying, so I didn't feel comfortable asking is I could get a group discount or something.

I think Paul and Jerry will be getting a cabin as well.

If anyone is having trouble contacting them (the Fossicker CP) and would like us to help, just let us know.  We can slip round there on our next trip to town if need be.

cheers

Hi All,

I just spoke to Cathy at Fossicker Caravan Park- Glen Innes, nice Ladie, she asked how many people were in the group, so Mithras do you have numbers on how many have said yes they were coming to MM???

Also perhaps if we can work out how many of the fossicking places we are going that charge a fee, then perhaps we can also find out about group discounts there also.

If we have rough numbers and even if others join the list at least we will have a rough idea.

Take Care All,
Deb who has plenty of time on my hands at the moment and trying to assist Mithras.  ;D

Gee I hope so Andrew,

I booked in to the van park yesterday, and incase anyone is wanting a cabin, there are no 1 bedroom ones (5 beds) left, there was 4 2 roomed cabins left as of yesterday.

So if you plan on getting a cabin, my advice is book very soon.

Take care,
Deb  ;D
