    I will be there again. We need a system so that forum members can be identified. Any suggestions?
    Maybe a red star on the name tag? or a bit of coloured ribbon on the name tag?

    Let's wait to see who else is going, then come up with an identification system.

    What about the forum ID tag that you can print out and attach to a label.

    It's a bit of a shame that single day passes are not available.

    Oh well maybe next year

    Also those that have their own accommodation are massively subsidizing those staying at the resort. Compare $ 400 with $ 495 for those at the resort.

    I would have been going for a few years now if those that have access to free local accommodation, like me, were not ripped of.

    So when accommodation is deducted from the fee it would be $ 235 pp whereas those that have their own accommodation must pay $ 400 pp which is a discrepancy of $ 165.

    If I went I would take my wife and stay at her parents house in Burleigh Heads and I attend daily whilst she would keep her parents company but being asked to pay $ 165 more then those staying at the resort is unacceptable to me.

    I don't see how it can be a ripoff Peter when you are told up front what the deal is.
    Cheers Frank.

    That I'm told before hand doesn't matter, the fact remains that those with their own accommodation are asked to pay more then those without is IMO a ripoff.
