Hi Stuart, This must be your lucky day! As President of the Grampians Soaring Club, I invite you, and indeed anyone who can make it, to share our Queen's Birthday wave camp at the foot of the Grampians, which starts next Saturday - 9 June 2007. Go to our web site via Victorian Clubs on the GFA website for full details. Accommodation close to the field (bunk house; bring bedding) - or your tent/caravan - and meals (self serve breakfast and 3 course evening meal) will be provided at a very reasonable cost. It is essential that you send me an email off line, or telephone me on 03 5352 4938 or mobile 0400 979 635 to confirm your position. For operational reasons we reserve the right to limit numbers. So that you can get an early start on Saturday, accommodation will be available from Friday night. Although the camp officially finishes on Monday we are flexible, and will make the tug available if it looks like the wave is on in the days following. We cannot guarantee the wave, but we can guarantee spectacular scenery, and warm company.
