We have made a few decisions.  Baskerville is booked for Monday 30^th September 2013.  You will need a CAMS L2S licence or a AASA Licence before the event. This can be done around July 2013.  Information on how to get either of these will be provided in response to your Expression of Interest. 
  
We have arranged accommodation for the MR2 Nationals 2013 in Hobart through a third party at a very reasonable group discount.  The package includes 4 nights accommodations (including breakfast) the MR2 Nationals dinner on the Saturday night, parking on the Government Lawns for our "Show n Shine" on Saturday morning.  All close to where the action is.  To lock in this great deal we need as many people as possible to book now.  Again further details and how to book will be provided in response to your Expression of Interest.
