Pre-Rally sites (Murray Bridge)

[BruceS]

I've has a discussion with the manager of a caravan park that is in close proximity to the rally site in Murray Bridge in regards to fees for those who arrive a little early or wish to stay a bit longer in the area.
A lot will depend on how many take advantage of any offer.
Initially it is $10 a night with use of toilet/showers & $9 extra a night for power.
If many indicate they'll be 'in it' I'd think it might be less.
Also if quite a few will be involved he will "put a pig on the huge spit' at his cost.........
There is a HUGE area available & it is a short stroll to the River.
Any interest at this early stage?
Perhaps an indication by a poll? (I'll leave it open for future votes)
Your votes can be changed.

I have an update of information and a VERY firm commitment by the Caravan Park to give us/me a quote and stick to that quote.
There will be a requirement for anyone accepting this offer to confirm they are a CMCA financial member. (full or partial!)
The caravan park has a new name and new owners.
It WAS previously known as ""Long Island Caravan Park and Marina""
It is now called ""Murray Bridge Tourist Park"", & I've heard it called ""Murray Bridge Caravan Park"" on the local radio station.
