GULGONG WEEKEND

25 to 27 APRIL, 2008

 

Well, everything is in place for an outstanding weekend at Gulgong. 

 

 

Prince of Wales Opera House, Gulgong

 

The Opera House has been booked for the dinner/show and we have been invited to display our bikes at the ‘Wings, Wheels & Wine’ Show at Mudgee Airport on the Saturday which gives riders free entry to the Show.

 

All you need to do is to book your accommodation ASAP, as there are two new mines opening up in the Gulgong area soon and contractors will be using this accommodation.  Also Gulgong is a popular weekend location Sydney people.  See page 3 to help you with your bookings.  Most premises are offering a 10% discount, which has been factored into the prices indicated.  When you book state you are from Port Stephens Ulysses.

 

We need to know ASAP who/how many are going, so we request that each person put $40.00 up front for the dinner/show at our next meeting with final payments by or at our February meeting.

 

Looking forward for your fellowship on this weekend.
