Lotus, not sure if you will check this before arriving...

You will receive the 20% discount for the full stay, you will just need to change rooms tomorrow, you will be in the same room the rest of the time.

Dan, what's the deal with getting a shuttle bus from the airport to the YHA? Do I have to book it or anything or can I just jump on one at the airport. Also, are there multiple buses, which should I get?

Hey Leon, and everyone else going by plane. KST is the company that they book at the YHA. It will take you direct to the hostel, is cheaper than the train, and you get a discount if you book online.

The buses run from 5am to 7pm. Trains will run later, but they are more expensive and won't take you direct (Wynyard and Circular Quay are about even distances from the hostel).

Thanks again to all those who made the trip.

Special thanks to Caroline who drove in after a late shift, despite being ill.

Special thanks also to lotus and elemental footbags; Daniel and the YHA; and of course Ian for doing all the hard yards to organise the schedule, venues, food, banner, designs etc, etc, etc.

Congrats to all those who competed, especially Ryan and Mitch, who both picked up places in events at their first comp. I was also really pleased with the quality of the routines and think regular competition is really paying dividends.

So good!!!!! Loved the event even though it was a bit daunting at first.
So many people to thank as it definitely would not have been as good without
their input.
