Bob McArthur (0438 447 137 bob.mca@bigpond.net.au) has researched accommodation in Barham, a fairly central location between Canberra, Mount Gambier and Melbourne.
Also the weather is usually pretty good on The Murray River around that time. He has reserved 2 motels at 9 rooms in each motel, plus seventeen at the golf club.
He can only hold these reservations for a couple of weeks as they get very busy over the Easter period.
If there is sufficient interest he could allocate one motel to Canberra, one to Mount Gambier and use the Golf Club for Yarra Ranges and the local participants - or mix up the accommodation as needed to suit the level of interest from the branches.
He has reserved Good Friday, Easter Saturday & Sunday (some places insisted on three nights).
A brief plan would be to ride up (or down, or across or whatever) on Good Friday, have area exploration rides on Saturday plus a Hello Dinner. Spend Sunday relaxing, exploring and maybe a ‘Take Away’ night. Ride home on Easter Monday.
Feedback from the groups is needed pretty quickly, so that he can move forward with the arrangements.
Planning can be refined if there is a good response.
Please discuss and let Bob know asap! ( it wouldn't hurt to let the Branch committee know as well - eg email ulyssescanberrabranch@gmail.com
