Hi fellow forumites. Hutch here. (the older, grumpier, hairyer one). I thought I would start this thread for us all to discuss the accommodation aspect of this national meet, and leave the other thread free from bullshit, and just to have whos going and the places and contact details on there.

So it was decided we are staying at Swan Hill on friday 9th October, for which the accomodation is still TBA, and also Moama/Echuca on Sat10th Oct.

As we know Moama has been decided as the Moama Riverside Holiday and Tourist park PH 03 54823241.1 Cobb Hwy, Moama NSW 2731.

I will update this first post as we go with updates.

 

Hi again. Anyway so far yesterday i called the moama place twice. The first time to book and a lady said they only do two night stays. she said she would get back to me and she didnt.

 So i decided to stay two nights regardless and have a better time. I rang them back 4 hours later to book for two nights and a lady she said she was taking a large booking and would call me back. Well she didn't and im starting to think they don't want our business.  I initially explained we are on bikes and there would be 20 to 30 of us staying for a national forum meet. 

Has anyone whos going and who has booked to stay said anything to them as i am thinking they dont want us.

I booked yesterday and didn't have any problems at all, I spoke to the manager and he was sweet with my booking.

booked without any problems

Not a good start Hutchy. Maybe one person could speak to the manager to explain what we are after, they might do one night for multiple bookings? Maybe get a group discount as well. 

Just a thought, if they want 2 night min, maybe everyone book Fri / Sat at Moama and ride to Swan Hill for lunch on Sat? That way we only need to worry about one booking?

I'm easy GT, Sounds good. Stay friday and saturday at the one place that way we can relax more and everyone has a chance to get to know one another and have more drinks! Yep have a ride somewhere for the official forum lunch.
And yep prolly would be good to have someone explain that we are a bunch of kind, honest hard working, social riders looking to spend some serious money in their community.
What do the others recommend?

Update on my dealings is nada!
I sent the park an E-mail this morning asking to call me so i can book and still no reply or phone call! I wonder what is going on.

We need the other Hutchy (you know, the whiney, sand in the vagina one) to do some work and let everyone know what he thinks.

first of all gt get fucked
i rang the park at echuca a while ago and spoke to the man he was cool and picked this place because its so scenic and mickle has been and recomended it
im cool with staying two nights
so everyone needs some imput
or will there be people coming from swan hill side of aus we need to meet
this dosnt have to get over complicated and yep we could go for a ride to swan hill or where ever saturday

Yep all good with 2 nights here, not much coming from the Swan Hill side, only the South Aus boys.

Just had a call from the C/Park, they are sweet with us as a group of bikers but they have requested 2 night minimum stay, so I am now booked

for Friday 09th and Saturday the10th.

Yep. They got back to me just now and booked me in finally. Two nights Fri and Sat. I might stay Sunday also. I will see what happens.

wish I had not stuffed up the dates way back at the start or I could have jumped in too

So is this ride happening in lieu of Edenhope?

Come on Hutchy, beat the forum drum some more. We need more members to attend this tumultuous event!

wow big words but dont wanna scare them off
slowly is how its going but im sure some more will put there hands up
its early days yet so im sure it will be awsome when some more say yaaaaaa

We're are the Perth boys
There into big rides

I have already booked Fri / Sat, but might add Suday too.

Wifey's birthday on the Thursday, so "WE" will have 2 nights at Mildura on the way there. 

Yes, the handbrake is coming along to make sure you boys don't lead me astray!   

If ya bringing the handbrake, then be sure to pack a spare tyre also. you know your track record.

Looks like she didn't get annual leave, so back to Plan A. 

Lead away......
