All boats are provided. Sports Tuition has a fleet of Quintrex tinnies and Rosco canoes, all of which are powered by Minn Kota electric motors.

[rayke1938]

It is on the Sports Tuition site when you click on the link.Dunno if Angus forgot to put it up or wants everyone to look at sports tuition.

Cheers

Ray

[Zim man]

Yeah all the major details are on the Sports Tuition link.

YOU MUST book through Sports Tuition not AFO.

Essentially it is a AFO event in the fact that is it AFO members only. Aside from that Sports Tuition is doing all the organising etc. This is one where the AFO admin can sit back and enjoy as members

Angus

[Angus]

So who is actually keen on this event?

I think its just Ray, me and Tanya registered so far.

I realise its a way off just curious who ill be drinking cheeky whiskies with after landing umpteen bass and yellas

Angus

[jeff f]

wouldnt miss it for the world mate this one is my favouriet event

[kreel]

Checking the dates against my social calendar and seeing the bank manager about a loan for a bottle of Oban, then you'll be the first to know Gus.

Very keen! Have started saving for this already and the weekend is free for me... Can't wait!

[Do$tylz]

yeah mate. I'll definately be at this one. Danny said he'd maybe come as well.

[Zim man]

checking the calendar, but reckon i will be there. will try and take advantage of the 30% discount as well, then spend that saving on luresline, rods, reels, vodka for medicinal purposes of course

zim man you must have another car boot sale! :woohoo:

[billp]

I'm keen. The only problem is I have only fished freshwater a couple of times for Sooty's up in Eungella dam.

Not really sure if i have any idea on how to fish for the targeted species. It would be a good oportunity to learn I guess.

[ellicat]

Booty was in the same boat as you (so to speak) last year, billp.

He won. I think he actually hooked that one himself too :whistle: :laugh:

[Do$tylz]

Billp - this is the perfect time to learn how to fish for bass, yellas and grunter You have all day to pick the brains of your deckie and others to find out the best techniques et al.

i just checked the sport tuition website and cant see where it says there is a 30% discount for early payment. i am sure i saw it there a while ago. does anyone know if it still applies?

[Guru]

My arm is being royally and I think successfully twisted for this.

[rayke1938]

From memory it doesnt come up untill you get into the second page of the registration process. Send a email to steve he will advise fairly promptly.

Cheers

Ray

[jeff f]

tossing up weather to take my own yak this year.. do i really want a wet arse in june

and the thing is, half the fun of these camps is getting teamed up with new people every time

shared a boat with some great people at winter camps/bass socials

[happywally]

I'm pretty sure in the past this has not been an issue. It is an electric only dam though.

Having said that I think the extra $50(??) for the use of Sports Tuition's boats is worth it to avoid the towing and care of your own.

[rayke1938]

I think that the main issue is that the western arm ramp is the only ramp available and that there will be extremely limited parking there and we will be using it with all the other users. Last time that i was there there was only enough room for 10 or so cars and trailers.

Steve may be intending to use access from the scout camp to launch maybe Angus can confirm.

Another issue is if you take your own leccy powered craft is the mucking around recharging the batteries overnight.

Cheers

Ray

[Do$tylz]

^^^ plus the SIP... or whatever the license is called.

[happywally]

right thanks for the info guys...

enzo & i will be coming... just deciding now whether to use our tinny or not...

cheers

Hi Everyone

Sorry, there has been some confusion about an early registration discount of 30%. Those who have been before would realise that I am not able to offer anything like this. The cost for an adult weekend at the moment is $225. I was initially thinking about offering a $30 discount for early bird registrations, but in the end decided to reduce the cost regardless of the time of registration...and just make is $195 for all AFO members. But with my technology skills not quite up there with you guys, somehow the 30 was left in and calculated at a percentage. As soon as the first registration came in and the mistake was noticed, it was quickly removed. I hope this doesn't deter anyone from attending.

Hope to see you there. You can register under the events section on www.sportstuition.com.au

Thanks

Steve

[jeff f]

registered and payed

come on slowpokes you dont want to miss this one it's a great weekend

top value for the price too

[Angus]

To to remove further doubt I am pretty sure due to total lack of space and the launch site that it will be a Steves Boat only event.

Cheers.

Angus
