EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION CLOSES       FEBRUARY 28th.

 

 
PAYMENTS

DEPOSITS

 

 

Those who pay their registration before February 15th, 2003 will get an ‘early-bird’ discounted fee of AUD450 for adults and AUD240 for kids under 15.

      After February 15th, deposits will be AUD480 for adults and AUD275 for           kids under 15.

This enables us to cover the cost of coach transfers, tickets to each event for each person registered and events costs such as hire of venues, infrastructure costs, food and beverage, the costs of bringing musicians and entertainers over as well as all the marketing to bring the whole thing together.   

The fee includes the welcoming sundowner party, the Silly Sports day, the Makulu Braai and the Heckova Hooley (a'maparty) plus all transport costs.   All food and beverage is provided at the sundowner party and the Heckova Hooley - while you have the choice to purchase braai packs, food and drink more suitable for children and families on the Sports Day and Makulu Braai.

The cut off date for registrations is the end of April 2003 and we will only go ahead if we have at least 300 people registered at that stage.    

We would advise you to secure your place as early as possible - because with the Rugby World Cup being held in Australia, getting a seat on aircraft could present a problem and we will not be able to secure the best venues or get the bands, singers and musicians you would like to hear.

You will ultimately determine the final cost of the event to yourselves, through the accommodation choices you make - whether hotel, shared apartments or even backpacker beds as detailed on the registration form.   You can also make your choice of extras such as rugby tickets and tours.


CANCELLATION FEES

Once payments are received, they go towards booking your accommodation and your place in the event and we then incur fees if you have to subsequently cancel. So to make sure we make ends meet cancellation fees will be as follows:

    • before February 15th, admin charge only of $10 per person
    • more than 90 days before the event will incur a fee of 10% of the total
    • less than 90 days of 20% of the total
    • less than 30 days of 50% of the total
    • less than two weeks, of 100% of the total.

     We would advise you to take out conference travel insurance when you buy      your airfares, so that should anything happen which prevented you attending     costs would be covered.
