Doon '17 10th to 12th Nov

Post by Brett » Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:26 pm

Ok guys and girls, can we get a show of hands

I've posted it early this year to give everyone enough notice, to organise a day or 2 off, if needed.

Same place as the previous yrs, Bonnie Doon Lakeside Leisure Resort https://www.bonniedoonlakeside.com
This is a family friendly get together, hence being held at the caravan park, it allows members who's other half is not one for bush camping and needs their shower/toilet facilities, or even a cabin as accommodation.
The fishing is usually outstanding from the banks of an evening or early morning and there is a boat ramp a stones throw from camp.

Any questions just post and the friendly forum should help out with answers :-D

Cheers, Brett.

I'm in & maybe (upto) 2 more
Hope the wind isn't blowing, was hard erecting the tent last year.
If there's 3 of us, might get a cabin.
Good points as to why it's there Brett.
