APS Bus Trip - 2nd & 3rd Aug - Sydney to Nowra

[mysnakesau]

Either way Pete, we are still coming And I have a 7 seater if its decided that we could car pool. Only problem is to use the far back seats I will have no room for my own luggage nor anybody else's. I don't mind paying extra if needed.

 

[mattmc]

well, i will be there, if no bus i will have to get a lift or catch the train so i might need to organise something

 

[Luke1]

HEY PETER!!!!!!!!!
AWSOME NEWS..........I CAN COME BUT NOT ON THE BUS!!! I WILL MEET YOU GUYS DOWN THERES!!!

few questions:
what time on Saturday should we be there
so we catch n kill our own food ????
i suppose thats it

see you then!!!

Ok Pete, on a practical side, if we go in a mini bus how much luggage space will there be? We need to remember that everyone will be bringing a bag of clothes, a tent, bedding, food, drinks etc.

Mate i can't afford $60 a head for the 5 of us. So i have 2 choices drive myself or volunteer to drive the bus home, problem is i don't know how my wife and kids (3 under 7yrs) would feel about travelling on a small bus.

My gut feeling is car pool at this stage? But i am open to suggestions.

I think we will merge a car pool and mini bus. I have booked a 22 seater from Hertz. Southern Cross were booked out. The rent on the bus is $350 and we have fuel on top of that. As Wendy said, we will also need some cars going because we wont have luggage space unless we have a lot less than 22 people on the bus.

So now its a case of deciding what you want to do. Those without a car are still fine to come on the bus. I will be picking the bus up from Campbelltown on Saturday Morning so I can also get people from Campbelltown Train Station then as well.

 

[mattmc]

so what will the price be now?

 

[peterjohnson64]

The price will not be any more than has already been paid and you may even get money back depending on the amount we have topay for petrol (OK - diesel). I am going to look at the bus today and may upgrade to the 25 seater. We have our two drivers. I am drving down and Greg Davies form the Macarthur Reptile Society (formerley MacHerps) is going to drive back.

The trip is now a formal Mac Reptile Society exccursion so we have AAHS insurance!!!!
