Bernie and Janice are organising the gathering this year. And it's gonna be in the Illawarra. Here's some info...

As promised, we are now sending out important details of accommodation available for those who intend coming to our Illawarra gathering on the weekend 13/14 April 2012. Arrival at accommodation venues from 2:00pm Friday. Informal meal Friday night at 33 Langson Avenue Figtree, Saturday bus tour of Illawarra highlights, Saturday evening restaurant dinner, Sunday still in the pipeline. We are looking forward to a weekend of fun and conviviality, still being planned

As you are aware, it will be right in the middle of the Easter school holidays, so accommodation is already at a premium.

We have located two accommodation venues in Fairy Meadow, just 10 minutes north of central Wollongong. The two venues are diagonally opposite each other, in Pioneer Road Fairy Meadow. But you will have to book straight away, because both venues are nearly booked out.


For those with own caravans: 
  • Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort, 201 Pioneer Road Fairy Meadow (incl free use of 25-metre heated indoor swimming pool).
  • Phone 02 4283 6999
  • www.wslr.com.au
  • Powered sites $35 per night - cost includes 2 people


For those wanting cabin or motel accommodation:

Either Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort, 201 Pioneer Road Fairy Meadow (same place as for vans, above)
  • Phone 02 4283 6999
  • www.wslr.com.au
  • Only 2 cabins left at this resort, both 2-bedroomers, each accommodating up to 5 adults (all linen provided)
  • $225 for the Friday night; $245 for the Saturday night;  minimum of 2-night bookings only - cost covers 5 people.

Or Towradgi Beach Hotel, 170 Pioneer Road Fairy Meadow (motel units are in separate building from the hotel)
Well, that gives you some info on the April Action. Thanks B&J. Should be a great gathering... as per usual. I know there are a number of people who are committed already. (Sorry about the c word. Bad choice.)
