Don't know why not Amanda.

Been doing more research and phone calls today and am a bit disheartened. It looks to me like the Grand  Chancellor is the only decent HOTEL in town for under $250. It fulfils all requirements and they have now  given us a very decent price for dinner of $58 a head for a three course with 3 choices each.

Wondering.     Change the city in Tassie?  Maybe Launceston ?  Or the State.......Mebourne? Sydney?  Cairns?

Any thoughts or will we must go with the Grand  Chancellor. Obviously will get the bed and breakfast price down to brekkie for one.

It is always hard to organise a weekend like this when you live in the area where it is all happening, but it is so very much harder to arrange anything like this when you are not 'in situ' - I don't envy the organising group at all.

Hobart is a great destination and is easy to get to for our Southern Aussie members which is nice. I guess those who can afford to go will go and those who can't or wouldn't go anyway  may decide to come another year. Not a lot of us have the time or freedom to go away for a weekend  anyway.

How about we go with the Grand Chancellor and those who want to find other accommodation can do so. Have the dinner on Sat night  at the hotel and see who confirms. Then we can make a plan for a Friday bus trip.

Will that work?

Fine with me Gert, a decision has to be made.

Gert, it is disheartening. The grand Chancellor seems quite expensive to me. Did you look at Wrest Point - they seem to have a range of prices and seems to be cheaper if you book direct?

I am happy with that too Gert. Sounds like it's the best option.
Only on for a minute as still no wifi. Hopefully Thursday as have 3 guys coming to try to find the problem.  Fingers crossed.

I am planning on being there but at the moment cant commit to the staying at the Grand Chancellor, plenty of family that I can stay with, and join in each day/night.
The Grand Chancellor is a lovely hotel, they do a very nice high tea.

Would any of the relatives have room for 20 forumfesters Jan ;D    Only joking, we have such fun as a group in a hotel and it's worth every cent we spend.

I'm happy with Grand Chancellor.  Hobart is expensive for accommodation ,  just have to accept that.  Thanks Gert for all the work you have done.
