Just had a chat with the Neerum Creek people (great bunch!!) and as part of the group booking, they offer their gas fired Camp Oven which caters for up to 100 peole (it's huge) for free. Part of the package!! Additional to that, being school holidays and being a large group, he suggested (again for free) nightly movie nights for the kids as there'll be other people's kids there also, so not specifically setup for us, but means they don't have to feel obligated to go every night as it were. They will also set up the Tug'o'War in our area for the kiddies (not that the adults would use it anyway ... ahem, cough, cough ... lmao).
A few other things were discussed, but I'll leave those till I go up and see them and get it confirmed - good things ... really good things!!!!!
Trying to accomodate for everyone's tastes and likes is nigh on impossilbe, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure there is as much variety/option available to people as possible so that you can have a great holiday ...
Great to see so many people putting their hand up to volunteer equipment etc to assist anyone travelling - having spoken with 2 of them, we already have an absolute arsenal of spare camping gear!!!! So I can't iimagine anyone will be without the essentials ... the camp grounds hire equipment also (and have a shop, and a play area, etc, etc)
It's coming together well, but at the end of the day, it is only what it is through the support and attendance of the people involved - we often sprout about how we are different to other forums, family freidnly, etc, etc ... well ... time to put the money where the mouth is one and all !!!! LOL ... yep, a bit rich coming from someone now not going to the Loveday meeting, BUT I did drive a near on 2000 klm trip by myself to meetup with the Victorian meet in January - so trust me, I know it's difficult to do, but the reward is worth it!!!
Here's hoping to a fantastic trip for everyone involved!!! (yep, I know, it's 9 months away ... that's not that long ...).
