Photography Group - Albany Field Trip Accommodation 7-11 Oct 2024

Hi Guys

The plan is for us to travel south on Monday 7th October 2024 and return to Perth on Friday 11th November 2024, staying away for 4 nights.  We plan to touch on all the recent workshops and provide members the opportunity to practice taking photos of landscapes, flowers, birds, wildlife and astrophotography.   We also hope to meet with a local Albany professional photographer to share their tips and advice in photography around Albany.

As discussed during the Workshop on Thursday, we have provisionally booked accommodation in the BIG4 Emu Beach Holiday Park in Albany for 10 members to stay 4 nights from Monday 7th October to Friday 11thNovember 2024.

The accommodation proposed is centrally located for our proposed photo shoots and offers each member a separate bedroom.  The Caravan Park also has large undercover cooking and barbeque area which would be ideal for our evening meals.

To get a better idea of the accommodation and the facilities please refer to the Emu Point Caravan Park website at: https://www.big4emubeach.com.au

The choices are:

1. 2 bedroom chalets with kitchen & bathroom (5 off) – daily rate is $98.55/person for a total of $394.20 for 4 nights.
2. Powered Caravan Sites (BYO Caravan) – several available some with ensuites but booking is direct with the Caravan Park at Email: info@big4emubeach.com.au
   or Phone: (08) 9844 1147.

In order to secure the accommodation, we request that members select “Ticket #1”, to book and pay a deposit of $98.55 by 5pm Friday 7 June 2024.  Otherwise our bookings will lapse.

If you plan to bring your own caravan, we recommend that you select “Ticket #2” below for our planning purposes, but you must arrange and pay for that site directly with the BIG4 Emu Beach Holiday Park.

There has been great interest in this event. If all the chalet accommodation “spots” are taken we may be able to book additional chalets if we have more than 10 members seeking accommodation. The Holiday Park has advised that it may have more chalets available should this be required.  If you are keen to participate and bookings are full could you let Mike Somerville-Brown or Chris Porter know as soon as possible.

I hope you can join us.
