Hi Conti
I've emailed you a copy of my email to firefighter that I sent on 14 January asking for a site at The Nats.
Bit rough to be told we're on the waiting list now!
the admin team has worked hard to resolve this issue and can now report that smiles has been allocated a powered site. - conti

Hi Mod Team, I'll apologies now in case this has already been mentioned. But has the caravan park at Broken Hill set their rates as yet for 2014? i.e. do we know how much it is going to cost us per night for the Nationals? Also are they offering us a deal i.e. book 4 nights get the 5th free etc etc? Many thanks Diane

hi di
we've contacted the van park and they were unable to give us firm prices because they hadn't "sorted" them out for 2014 yet.
we were told that the pricing will probably be included in the confirmation email that we each get regarding our booking.
if it's not in that email, well let everyone know as soon as we find out.

G'day All, Just a note about the booking email I received yesterday. I tried to edit the email to type in my details, but it wouldn't allow it (...in fact I ended up accidentally completely deleting the email from my computer, and had to ask firefighter to resend it ) When firefighter sent me a second email, I immediately forwarded that email to myself (so I would have a spare copy). I tested whether I could edit the forwarded copy...and I can. I can now type in all my details and forward it again on to Broken Hill. So, the short story is this...if you can't edit the email received from the Moderators, forward it to yourself first, and then you should be able to edit the forwarded copy. Then forward that copy to Broken Hill once you've filled in all the details. Worked for me, anyway... cheers, Al.

Hi 1954homemade and others interested,
I received my confirmation email from Broken Hill Tourist Park today. Based on a 7-night stay, the cost is $35 per night, with 50% to be paid now to secure the booking, and the balance to be paid by 1 April 2014.

Based on a 7-night stay, the cost is $35 per night, with 50% to be paid now to secure the booking, and the balance to be paid by 1 April 2014. Don Ricardo Thanks Geofff & Richard for your replies. Richard, Based on most other caravan park bookings that I have made (including previous Nationals), I am very surprised that Broken Hill require a 50% payment now as well as final payment 4 weeks before the event takes place. I am fully intending to go to the Nationals but have yet to have my leave authorised and also life sometimes has a habit of getting in the way of the best laid plans. Therefore does your booking paperwork mention what the cancellation policy is please? Instead of putting this on the forum, I would have contacted the park direct and asked the question but we have been asked not to phone the park, so hopefully you can answer this question for me? Many thanks to all the Mods for your help. Kind regards Di

Returned original post: Hi guys we put down on the booking request form for 3 adults however when the booking invoice came back in the email it only listed 2 adults. I have been trying to email the park yesterday and today to clear this up before paying the deposit, but so far no reply. Looking at their web site it looks like only 2 adults can be booked to one site, so does this mean that I now need to organise a second site??? Added: ;D It appears that it's $35/night for 2 adults and an extra $10 per extra adult. Also the new email arrived ok

Hi All NOTE This is the busiest caravan park in Australia .....they were booked out yesterday and today looks the same with people returning from the weekend at the Birdsville race meeting The staff member looking after us works different days and broken shifts If you don't receive a reply back straight away don't start to panic still 6/7 months before the nats Kfisher......A mistake was made and a new e mail with 3 adults on your account is coming soon to you.......please don't panic if you don't get it for a few days 1954 homemaid........standard cancellation fee is $30 Full payment .......due before you arrive.... YEP..... I agreed to this plan by the park......... the thought was if big groups of members arrive roughly the same time (Mexican tour to the nats) etc members don't have to line up cheers f/f ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Firefighter,
Sorry but we will not be able to attend the Nationals due to family commitments. Can you take our name off the list and give someone else a chance to take our place? We have not sent our booking form to the park so our space should be available.. Thanks, Johnny & Annie

Hi F/F, Thanks for the info on the cancellation fee. Just checking as most parks have a sliding fee the closer you get to the event i.e. is it $30 flat rate whether you cancel in October or in April for instance or is it free to cancel up until 1 month before then it's $30 etc etc. Many thanks Diane
