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.
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.
Cheers

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
Too costly for me at the moment with hubby out of work so I definitely WILL NOT be going.

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...
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.

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
Whatever you do...Dont mention ze war!!!

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
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.
Ok Great,
Will get a booking up and running and edit this post once confirmed.
Rob
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.
This sounds great, I will talk to my husband and get back to you once accommodation is booked.
This trip is looking like a winner! I'll have a look at accommodation round this parts and let you know soon
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.

at this stage, I won't be going. If anything changes, I will let you know.
