GLADSTONE STATE CHAMPIOSHIPS UPDATE
The accommodation issues that have been concerning so many individuals and centres in relation to the Over 40 and Over 50 championships in Gladstone from the 4-7 May 2012 have now been solved.
After much negotiation between Gladstone Hockey Association, The Gladstone Chamber of Commerce, the Gladstone City Council and Gil Voysey from Qld Masters Committee, approval has been given to allow a "Tent City" to be established at a Football Ground in Gladstone.
This tent city will be available for booking by all centres sending teams to Gladstone if required (if centres or individuals have been able to procur their own accommodation then they can choose either the tent city or their own accommodation).
The advantages/benefits of a "Tent City" are:
* Inexpensive (around $60 per person per night)
* A great community atmosphere with all teams living at the same venue.
* Fully secured by the company supplying the tents.
* Floored tents with stretcher beds.
* Facilities at the Football Club including a bar.
* Street Lighting
* Tents wil be set up by the company based on bookings.
* Two persons only per tent.
The number of beds required will need to be booked in advance by each centre sending teams (not individuals) and paid for by the centre making the booking.
Have a look at the following link re the company establishing the tent city.
www.tentcityhire.com.au
More details as to how to book your beds will be available later.
