Forum Fest 2014 tentative attendee

Gert, thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate it so much.

Sue the casino  is  a 30 minute walk from the CBD. I don't fancy that in the wind and cold.  Also  apart from some of the tower rooms the rest of the hotel rooms get scathing reviews.

 Some gals might like to share a twin room .

Judy and a few others  have been doing their research as well  so this is a collaborative effort as was Adelaide with CP doing all the work for Perth!

I think after securing the rooms and Sat night dinner we should wait until  the new year to make further plans in hopes that someone in Tassie or someone who knows it well will help in planning further.

Sounds good.

How about you all come and stay with me
Free accommodation, I have a thermomix, bring your own sleeping bags and sleep on the floor lol. Bit squeeze though. Might have the caravan finished by then, not very comfortable at the moment though


Your all doing a brilliant job with trying to organize a wonderful weekend, I don't know Hobart very well so can't really help much there unfortunately. But if anyone is flying in to Launceston and needs a lift to Hobart I have a 7 seater van and you can travel with me.

Your caravan is very modern, it has built in air conditioning, Mandi

[judydawn]

Lovely offer thanks Mandi, somehow I don't think you will receive many acceptances for the accommodation part of it though    Love that you are going to join us down in Hobart.

Wonder if we could park out front of the hotel and have our breakfast in it

Good offer and one to consider Mandy. Also help with petrol costs. Be fun get to meet each other trip.

Lol. I can't wait to meet you all. It will be a wonderful weekend no matter where we stay I'm sure. And I'm easy and will go with the flow

Is there a Crowne Plaza in Hobart, Get?
I might be able to leverage a deal out of them if there is.

[Amanda]

I just spoke to my bloke at Crowne here who tells me they have no hotels in Hobart, but if we look at another city (Melbourne?) he can arrange something for us!

[KarenH]

I went to Hobart last year for a conference, and we stayed at the Old Woolstores Apartments.  Not quite as nice as the Crowne was in Adelaide, but the accomodation was still really good, and I think was quite reasonably priced.  Maybe worth a look??

Once this has been confirmed by Natasha Gert, I'll sticky that information so that it becomes the first post in this thread. Thanks for getting us this far.

[gertbysea]

Good one JD?

[Mama Fergie]

Well done Gretchen. I am very happy with that
