“The course date is now 100% confirmed.
If you have submitted your application form and passed the online test it is now safe to make travel and accommodation arrangements.
There are no hotels near the venue, and I have been unable to arrange any billet accommodation.
Most people book through Airbnb. Search “Yarraville” and “Seddon”.
There are cottages suitable for 2 or 3 guys to share, and there are also options for a private room in someone’s house (which are often much less expensive).
If you prefer hotel style accommodation, the Travelodge Docklands is the best bet – but don’t book through their web site, use Trivago or Expedia for a better rate.
Successful applicants will receive a separate email regarding payment – BSANSW will cover accreditation fees for our members.
You need to aim to be at the venue; 175D Stephen Street Yarraville, by 9.30 am on Thursday 21st September for a 10.00 am start.
A light lunch will be provided that day, included in the course fee.
The budget may even stretch to a beverage or two at the end of the day!
For those who are interested, we will have dinner somewhere on the Thursday night.
I am arranging a visit to the Lindrum house on the Friday morning, subject to approval, at around 10.00 am – so If you are interested in being a part of that, do not book an early flight home.
Please advise me of your flight details if coming from interstate. I will do my very best to arrange airport pick-ups – but there may be some issues as Wednesday is a busy day for some of us, and Wednesday evening is A-grade Billiards competition night in Melbourne. Friday drop-offs should present no problem.
Regards,
Jason Colebrook"
