As always registration is essential
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are participating in the optional Tassie Runabout, that you lock in your accomodation for that ASAP as we have not reserved any rooms at the suggested accomodation locations due to numbers unknown. Apparently February is one of Tassie Tourism’s biggest months so your accomodation for the optional Tassie Runabout needs to be locked in asap.
Scamander Beach Resort is not yet ready for us to book so leave that one for another week or so, I am waiting for them to get back to me once they have their bookings sorted for next year.
REGISTRATION CLOSES ON 31 MARCH 2025 as we need to know definite numbers to continue the huge job of planning such a grand event!
Let the countdown begin!
