HEY organizers. will there be a deal with the spirit of tas?
Before I start organizing things.
I don't know if that has been looked into for OzSTOC members and / or friends.
Personally, I'm not sure that it is worth the effort, here is a link to the Spirit of Tasmania group booking fare conditions:
https://www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/media/712785/groups-booking-fare-conditions-as-7october2013.pdfI was part of a large group of Ulyssians thinking about a group booking to go to the AGM at Ulverstone, more than a few years ago now. The requirement was for at least 15 people to book to comply and significant up front payment.
This required at least 15 to agree on the same sailing "to" and "from" Tasmania times and dates, and was never gunna happen with the group that I was involved with at the time. I suspect this will be the case with our OzSTOC group.
Having said that, there will be three of us sailing to Devonport on the Saturday or Sunday before the NatRally, and then five returning on the Saturday or Sunday after the rally. If you wanna attach yourself to our little group, you are welcome and then we only need another 11 to qualify for a group booking.
