Evening everyone,
Some important facts for you to all consider for this years National Rally.
And I need to be some what blunt, so apologies in advance....but you will see where this is leading, so stay with me.
We have 29 people booked for NatRally 2019 in Tassie so far
Awesome and keep the registrations coming.
Camp Banksia was selected by the Tasmanian Rally Team as offering, in their opinion, the best possible mix of facilities and accomodation. This facility has reserved not only all its accomodation for OzSTOC members but also providing its common area’s and all site facilities for our communal gatherings.....I.e Meet & Greet etc.
And here is the stinger......of the 29 members registered as attending NatRally only 9 have committed to accomodation at Camp Banksia.
Now before you flame me..... I completely understand that people wish varied styles of accomodation and are paying for their preferred choice, but here we have a facility who is opening their business to paying customers and the vast majority are staying off site but will wish to be with the group for gatherings etc.
So to say this business is concerned needs to be stated, how would you feel as a business if only potentially a third of the people you are providing services to are paying customers ??
So to this end could I ask that members who are still to register PLEASE seriously consider using Camp Banksia for your accomodation.
A few of the meals will be at Camp Banksia for all attendees, but I fear this may not be enough to keep us in their good graces.
Needless to say some take home lessons about member accomodation requirements have been gathered.
Thanks everyone for your consideration.
