Quote: My birthday is 1st May and Mary's is 2nd March so this is our birthday present to each other.

Sounds like a birthday drink (or three) is in order...Lemonade of course

Well after all that I can't make this weekend guys, going to see James Morrison at Taronga on the 2nd. So hope the tour works out - Peter you might have to email Domino to finalise the tour booking etc.

So Mary and I are definitely attending the Jenolan Caves AP meet and we look forward to seeing you there.

I had booked at the same one

So there are definitely 2 for me as well. We did the dinner/breaky thing as well, I figured it was easier.

Cheers
Jo

Thanks Glenn. Sorry you cannot make it.

I will follow up with Domino next week. If anyone is DEFINITELY coming, please book suitable accommodation and get your details into the thread ASAP. And PLEASE do not say you are coming if you are undecided or uncommitted. It should be easier to deal with late additions rather than coming up short.

It would be nice to know some numbers to organise the cave tour. In the absence of any contrary advice, I will assume that partners would be coming on any special booking of the caves. I will contact Domino as soon as we have about 8 or 10 attendees confirmed.

Please indicate if you will be by yourself. My other half is not coming (she doesn't like people with cameras).

So far we have:

Darey (Greg & Mary)
Silkdiver (Jo & Richard)
PeterB666 (me)

Five confirmed.

Too costly for me at the moment with hubby out of work so I definitely WILL NOT be going.

**raccoon** · 20-01-2011, 4:38pm

Put me down for 3 pax.
Myself, Lyn and her friend Marilyn. (my assistants, except i still have to carry all the gear--They just tell me what to do LOL)
The accomodation people would not let me book till feb, so i will book mountain lodge for the nite of 2 April in early Feb

It does remind me of Faulty Towers...

**peterb666** · 21-01-2011, 12:12am

Thanks Paul

So far we have:

Darey (Greg & Mary)
Silkdiver (Jo & Richard)
PeterB666 (me)
Raccoon (Paul, Lyn & Marilyn)

Eight confirmed.

BTW Paul, I had to do a lot of sweet-talking to get my reservation yet it looks like neither Darey nor Silkdiver had any problem booking Mountain Lodge. Jo told me she tried to book online but could not add the meal package into the booking and had to ring. Both of us had trouble getting through to the "booking office" which unless it has changed is just the poor person stuck on the front desk.

I am wondering, when we are dining in the quite fine dining room on Saturday night, wether we will see a tall lanky guy with a garden gnome under his arm marching into the kitchens followed by the screams of a non-English speaking waiter.

After some talking they have accepted our booking for the 2nd april.

I believe the non speaking waiter may be taking english lessons, this is just rumour and not confirmed at the moment.. Also the tall lanky guy with garden gnome is giving goose step lessons to us as a bonus for our group booking

**en1gma** · 22-01-2011, 8:42am

IM BACK!!!

Sorry I had not been on - Christmas holiday break.

Thank you peter for running this through while I was away - I really appreciate it.

Please put my name down and a tentative +1 at the moment. also, please PM me what organization you need me to do

Regards,
Robert

**peterb666** · 22-01-2011, 10:35am

Hi Robert, I will add you in when you have made an accommodation booking. It is too difficult to keep track of "tentative" lists.

Nothing else really needs to be done. I will follow up on Greg's contact re a private cave tour and take it from there for that. I am guessing we may need to cough up a small amount of money up-front for that but no point doing anything until the details are known.

**en1gma** · 22-01-2011, 11:36am

Ok Great,

Will get a booking up and running and edit this post once confirmed.

Rob

**peterb666** · 22-01-2011, 12:25pm

Re post #33 - that should have been Glenn, not Greg. Sorry for not giving credit where it is due but that’s the Alzheimer’s in action.

**80weeks** · 22-01-2011, 4:14pm

This sounds great, I will talk to my husband and get back to you once accommodation is booked.

**Simbas** · 25-01-2011, 5:20pm

This trip is looking like a winner! I'll have a look at accommodation round this parts and let you know soon

**Analog6** · 07-02-2011, 8:23am

I will put myself as a very tentative maybe - it depends on finances. Also for me it would be more like a 6 day trip and I would have to stay at the Jenolan Park Caravan Park at Oberon (can't afford on site rooms - far too expensive when I am unfortunately not working at all ATM). I've subscribed to this thread so I can keep an eye on it.

**peterb666** · 07-02-2011, 1:31pm

Let us know when things are confirmed.

On another note, I will be following up a group booking of one of the caves soon (probably next week if I am not too slack).

Cheers

Peter

**judybee** · 09-02-2011, 3:20pm

at this stage, I won't be going. If anything changes, I will let you know.
Sounds like great fun and I look forward to seeing all your photos.
