What: Bus trip

We have made a tentative booking for 25 rooms at the Diplomat Hotel on the Cnr of Canberra Ave & Hely St, Griffith.

It is not a new trendy place (built in 1980's) but it looks clean and comfy.

We have managed to negotiate $170 per room which will include a cooked breakfast for two in dining room.

By the end of August, we will need to:

    have firm numbers;
    know who is sharing with who.... in other words anyone travelling solo will need to identify a bunk mate for the night unless they want their own room;
    identify anyone with mobility issues

Saturday Night Dinner

We have discussed the Saturday night dinner and we have two options.  
They are:

    buffet style menu; or
    order from the main menu but people needing special dietary requirements must notify them first
