Hi Scott,
We look forward to hosting your family gathering for Nissanpatrol.com.au and trust you do reach your predicted 100.

You should have received the copy invoice as requested by separate mail. As with any such large event that brings over 50 people we expect to offer the organiser Free camping as we know how much work you need to put in and the costs you incur to do the running around so would do that for you if you accept (I haven't accepted as per attached invoice - this is going towards the Marquee cost leaving only $168 to cover it for the whole week!!).

I am quite happy to use our standard method of bookings which is for them to phone 1300733901 or email admin@ncbr.com.au (admin@ncbr.com.au) or go to our website booking page http://www.ncbr.com.au/pricingpage.php (http://www.ncbr.com.au/pricingpage.php) in all cases they must nominate they are part of Nissanpatrol.com.au otherwise our system will place them in a different area. As per Attached Invoice below - this will also include balance costs of toilets and marquee.

They are then given 3 days to confirm by paying the deposit.

We will not charge the standard $7 site fee to any families simply we will charge the standard rates of $10.50 Adult & $5.50 Kids (Note there is a small loading on the days of Sunday 30th & Monday 1st because of the Queens birthday holiday). Item 8 below and note the PAYMENTS section below with additions to cover extra costs.

The only thing for you to remember is our standard terms normally allows them to cancel up to 14 days before and get the deposit back. Therefor the accurate count may not happen until then unless you state the fact that it is absolutely non refundable then all are counted irrespective of those that decide not to turn up. I would like everyone to pay deposit by February 20th as listed below, with full amounts to be paid by June 30th - is that OK with everyone?

We spoke briefly about September traditionally being a low rain time, however we do not accept cancellations based on weather predictions. We can give you a weekly report of how many have booked, Tracey would send you an email with updates once a week.

We will supply free of charge both our commercial roaster oven & catering trailer at no cost. The pics attached were from a real event and the cook had never done it before. Items 3 & 4 below.

I haven’t got pics of the catering trailer but it is a full covered trailer with a commercial Heatlie BBQ on board with water tanks & 12 volt power.

I have sent an email to order the big marquee. My question is how do you want to handle the cost of marquee & toilets? Do you want to round up the cost and divide out by say 80 people then we add that cost to each invoice as a special event so the club doesn’t have to fund out of pocket. It would only add about $2.50 per day for each one. Item 6 below.

As mentioned we would supply a few metal wood fire BBQ’s (12) to act as fire pits and of course they can be used as bbq’s also. Item 9 below.

The area would be flagged off from other users. We have a full fenceline to put up the 10m banner also!

It will require 3 portable toilets for the week and we would arrange them with your approval. Item 2 below.

At this time how about I agree to hold the area available until 20th Feb. to allow you time to get your plans made. Or anytime earlier, it’s up to you. Please note my comments below.

When you give the go ahead we will require a deposit to be paid by each family and we will be guided by you as to when you want them to fully pay. Please note my comments below.

The cost of Marquee & toilets will be quoted at the beginning and we will require a $200 deposit with full payment 10 days prior to the event. If you charge them in the price we will cover the cost provided you end up with a minimum of 60 Adults. Item 2 below.

I trust this is enough information at this time,
Regards,
John.

PS you are welcome to talk at any time to Tracey or Colleen for updates once the ball is rolling.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To break it down - an itemised list below and what I have done is add some of the additional costs to the PER PERSON pricing that is listed above - I think it still makes it very resonable and cost effective for all.



1. We have a sectioned off (HUGE) area with our own entry road right beside the creek and waterhole about 80 metres from the office and shop.



2. Toilets are provided for free if we have more than 60 people - $200 Deposit to be paid that I will sort out up front and work out with eveyone later, however I am expecting more than 60 people by the interest thus far.



3. They are providing (FREE OF CHARGE) the Commercial Roaster Camp Oven which cooks for up to 100 people



4. They are providing (FREE OF CHARGE) the Commercial Caterer's Trailer they have on site for Sponsorship Events - this is to assist with interstate travellers also in not having to bring camp ovens/cookers etc.



5. They are providing (FREE OF CHARGE) 12 Fire Pits to be located throughout the camp grounds - they are awesome little units, completely self contained (like a barrel) with a flip top lid that is actually for cooking on - so they double as comfort/warmth AND a cooker!!!



6. We are getting a 27mx9m Marquee setup by them in the middle of our camping area - massive space to use as a communal area where people can setup tables in the shade, the Caterers Trailer will be parked under/beside it, and to generally sit around and chatter ($450 less my camping fees of $282 = $168 remaining across the headcount - I've added $0.50 per person per day to cover this - everyone OK with that?).



7. They are providing (FREE OF CHARGE) 2 large Mobile Mini Skip bins that they will collect and clear to save us having to keep separate bins/plastic bags etc, etc



8. They have waived the one-off fee of $7 per site completely - not much, but still a great show of faith and interest in having us there.



9. They will get tralier loads (over 1 tonne) of cut timber for fires and place them in the campsite for general use - $100 per trailer, probably want 3 trailers up front, so again have added $0.50 per person per day to the camp costs to cover it - Everyone OK with that?



10. They are providing (FREE OF CHARGE) movies nights for the kids (every night if we choose), games sets for the kids, Tug'o'War rope to go in our camp area, etc



Payments:

I suggest that eveyone pays directly to the park and gets their own individual invoice. I will add the costs detailed above, which makes adults $11.50 per day and kids $6.50 per day - is everyone OK with this?



I am suggesting that deposits need to be made by the 20th February (obviously others who jump on can pay after this) but at least that secures the site etc. Furthermore, I am thinking of suggesting to the owners that all balances are to be paid in full by June 30th (once again, others who join after this can still come and simply pay at that time), with the money being NON REFUNDABLE to the individuals, but going back to the forum itself to cover for some costs of other items not listed on here. Is everyone OK with that?


Basically want to get this out of the way for eveyone, however it works out extremely cost effectively when you break it down to $57.50 per adult and $32.50 per child for the whole 5 nights with camper ovens, cookers, firepits (cookers also), timber, toilets, marquee, movie nights for the kids, games, etc, etc (there are still some surprises up my sleeve!!!).


Obviously the itinerary is just a guide and I'll continue to work on that and put an update up in the coming week or so to provide as many options for people as possible - you could stick to it religiously, or you could do your own thing - entirely up to you!!



The Invoice you will receive direct from them. This is the first one, but the others will have the Marquis and Toilet costs on them itemised separately.

Bumpety bum bump ...

C'mon peeps - I know for a fact there's a truckload more people who've actually paid (I have the listing from John at Neerum), but it's still important to populate the poll so people know for sure that there's a bunch attending ... it helps people decide whether they'll go or not.

At last count, there was about 68 people paid (including there families etc) and another 25 who had confirmed with me ... 93 at that point.

Get on board - its going to be HUUUUUGGGGGGGE!!!!!!

[Bigrig]

Bumping again ... will do so every now and then till the big day!! Just to keep it fresh in out minds!! lol

Get on board - gunna be a cracker ladies and gents!!

You'll be taken care of mate!!

Just got an email from NCBR saying only 15 groups (53 people) have booked ... c'mon people, it's not expensive and they only need a deposit to hold the place. That's less than half of the number who've confirmed on here let alone others coming along with members ...

Please, please, please give this some priority - I'm sure you're still intent on going, however, we need to sort numbers sooner than later ... a massive amount of effort is going into this, so please assist in getting your booking sorted!!

Thanks all.

[buderimlad]

what kind of 4x4 difficulty are we talking? I've got a 2" lift, 33's mudies and reduction gears....im saving up to get a front locker.

That'll see you through it mate ... we have people come out and get through with less (with no damage being the priority), so you'll be sweet with that sort of setup. Don't tell that to your missus though, that way you can still get the locker regardless!!! lol

[buderimlad]

ah no missus to stop me, only credit card debt...

I think we're up to about mid to high 70's on numbers now ... I'll need to confirm, but closing in on 100 all the time ...

C'mon everyone - will be a once in a lifetime opportunity ... camping, wheeling, kids having a ball, fishing (beach), winery tours, band playing just for us, wine tasting event on site, jumping castle for the kids, etc, etc ...

Will be awesome and a very necessary relaxation break for many of us ... if the events I've had at my joint are anything to go by, it just can't be a bad thing ...

Get on board!!!!

Fantastic! Thanks Bigrig, ever since I saw this post I've been so excited... This will be the first time I'll be able to get the rig to do some serious 4wding. Can't wait to see what it can handle...I'll be calling next week to sort out the trip!

Awesome news mate - you'll definitely get the chance to give the truck a workout - the State Forest is only 10 minutes up the road with a huge variety of tracks in there .. let alone the day trip to Bribie Island to hit the sand also.

Glad you're up for it mate!!

[choppie]

Thanks for kick guys, finally got finger out and booked, Be there with bells on

Good gear mate!!!

Well, that makes 18 on the list (yep, it says 15, but three didn't fill out the top option), with at least another 5 members and families that I know of going, plus the extras that people are bringing (I know of 3 of them also). So that should put it this far up to about 26 separate groups and around 70-80 people!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! lol

[TheBigUnit]

Don't break out the party panties just yet cause I've just seen this post, but... I might be able to add another 4 or 5 to the list.

The trailer's almost finished and I need to break it in and this seems like a great time to do it! Now for the Boss's approval. She's got no leave and she'll have to go to work and back for the duration and it's a bit of a haul but she might go for it, or at least come down for a few nights... It'd be good to get 100 there.

Excellent old mate - hope you and the missus can pull it off ...

I'll keep my party panties packed until I get confirmation!! lmao

[2TROLLFAM]

My party panties are packed, ready to go !!!!!!!!!! I'm counting down worse than the kids waiting for school holidays LOL plus Brads' boss said we might be able to borrow his camping trailer - so we'll see (aparently was packed up at Xmas whilst wet .... ewwwwwwy to mould - it can say put if it's covered in that)

[Ben-e-boy]

is there going to be set days for lcmp,bribie island trip etc or is it just take it as it comes???

Clove oil (from the chemist) mixed with water in a spray bottle, according to Sharon Lush of radio cleaning fame, is the thing for mildew. Works, in my experience. Bit pricey, but a little goes a longgggg way. Only thing is....................... smells like the Dentist's rooms :-(((

[2TROLLFAM]

Hey Scottie - when/how do we pay for the extras as mentioned in the first few posts ??

[DieselSmart]

Have sent a message to BigRig about this.

Hopefully we will be there :) Looking forward to it!

[2TROLLFAM]

ozz

[macca86]

I don't think bribie do day passes only a one week pass rainbow beach has one day passes it's cheaper to buy online too rather than the rangers office or the news agent might have changed been 6 months since I was last there

How many are confirmed now??

[Sir Roofy]

we are still coming a long haul but should be worth it

[2TROLLFAM]

Getting very excited now....5 weeks to go!!!

[AB]

I won't be there until late arvo early evening on the Sunday.

I'm thinking about turning up with no food and doing a big shop on the Monday morning.

Are there any plans for Monday that I missed or will this work out ok???

[matto9018]

Can someone point me out, Im confused with the price.... What will roughly cost all up with this trip? Not including fuel or anything, just the trip..

Cheers

[Bigrig]

Can someone point me out, Im confused with the price.... What will roughly cost all up with this trip? Not including fuel or anything, just the trip..

About $40 per adult and $20 per kid for the whole week mate ... Thereabouts anyway ... pretty cheap!! Hope to see you there!!

[2TROLLFAM]

I won't be there until late arvo early evening on the Sunday.

I'm thinking about turning up with no food and doing a big shop on the Monday morning.

We're going into Kilcoy on Monday to go grocery shopping for stuff we can't be shagged packing ...

[Bigrig]

Time to pay the piper people!!!

OK - there's only 49 registered and paid with the park - there's 63 listed in the poll as attending - and there's over 90 through this thread and the original one that state they are/were going ...

No drama as I appreciate people leave things till last minute, however makes it bloody hard to organise anything. Thus far I have (need to work out the specific days and advise you all) the following coming to the park as often as possible:

1. Coffee Van (with Pastries etc) each morning
2. Pizza Van 2 of the nights between 5-7pm
3. Mr Whippy Van - days to be confirmed
4. A seafood van - days and times to be confirmed
5. A winery for tasting - day to be confirmed
6. Video night for the kids each night
7. Access to various game sets for free (cricket, badmington, etc, etc)
8. Planning on doing the cookup (communal) on Tuesday and Thursday nights ($10 per adult, $6 per child over the age of 3 and up to the age of 12)
9. Daytrips as per previous itinerary suggestions

This is taking some effort, so would be grand if you could at least advise formally if you intend on attending - not overly fussed if we only get 60-70 people truth be told as it will still be a ball tearer of a week, but makes it bloody hard to accomodate for the communal dinners, wine tasting, etc if I don't know how many are in attendance. As usual with these types of things, everyone is "yeah, yeah, yeah" when it's initially mentioned, then it falls by the wayside as the time nears - that's OK, just let me know so I know close to exact numbers.

Thanks again one and all, and looking very forward to it - be great to kick back and relax with you all!!!

[Sir Roofy]

Noworrys scotty where making the long haul up
to see ya again and meet and greet and pay at gate

[Bigrig]

Noworrys scotty where making the long haul up

[Maxhead]

Good stuff mate!!!

[2TROLLFAM]

We were going to head up Saturday but the EX (mine that is) will have my 2 kids until 6pm Saturday and no chance in hell of getting them earlier so Sunday it is for us - but staying the full week and heading home probably on the Saturday morning so we got time to clean & pack everything away before work again on the Monday.

[2TROLLFAM]

Hey Scottie, is it "first in - best dressed" when it comes to the sites??

[Bigrig]

Hey Scottie, is it "first in - best dressed" when it comes to the sites??

Yes ma'am - I'm pegging out tent, camper trailer and caravan sites, and from there it's choose your own ...

Only pegging them out to ensure we leave a driveway as such in and out of the actual camp ground so there is only one place the kiddies need to watch out for cars - rather than having them haphazard any which way ... safety first when it comes to the kids basically. Once everyone is setup, the tape around the sites can come down which I'll probably get everyone to do themselves once setup to save tripping over it all week.

[Maxhead]

Sounds good Scotty, do you need a hand doing anything?

[Bigrig]
