It was a great day of playing “jigsaw puzzles” yesterday. Pam and I allocated just over 300 sites. Today and tomorrow – it’s going through checking no duplication of sites, right number of power points coming off the respective poles etc etc.
AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION for all, particularly for those who have powered sites.
The changes to the road configuration, especially on the main drag Crow Road, mean that some sites are shorter in length than previous years. This also applies to several areas and you may be required to detach your car and caravan OR motorhome and car and park the car nearby. In most cases this should be less than 40 metres.
Please read your Squawkers’ Permit carefully, It will contain additional information this year……your site number, your arrival time, whether Copland Street or Tasman Road gate and now if we anticipate your vehicle will have to be detached as outlined above.
Once again there may be changes in site numbers as compared to last year. Where you have requested to be in a specific area, we have endeavoured to do so but again the layout has changed and this may or may not be possible. You will have a great time wherever you are!
All activities will be central between the Crow Central building (the new one we christened last year) and the Club House where all music tuition and Cocoa Club are held.
The car park on the western side of the Crow Central building will be available for those who need to drive their vehicles up to the venues but the exercise on such a wonderful flat ground with the new easy walking concrete road will be good for us all, or bring your bike it’s perfect for bike riding. Who knows by the end of the Festival those pants might just be a little looser!
Balance of payment for 2019
Still a few people who haven’t paid the balance of their Festival fees after texts and emails sent. Your Squawkers’ Permit won’t go until this is remedied.
Additional powered sites
Emails have been sent out to those on the waiting list with CPAP machines etc. Please let us know immediately if you wish to take up that offer as we still have others who would take that site if you don’t want it.
Hopefully by Sunday night all sites will be allocated, final checking done early next week and then Squawkers’ Permits will be emailed late next week.
FIRST TIMERS
Quite a few of you have let us know you would like to come in early. Please confirm if you wish to come in on Thursday afternoon asap as this information needs to be on your Squawkers’ Permit which we aim to finalise next week.
In case you didn’t read the last Crow Chronicle – here’s the information again ……
Don’t forget you are welcome to come in early to prepare yourself for the Festival. Your site will remain exactly the same if you are in a group, you will still be with your mates who have been before.
It can be intimidating to arrive with 1000 plus other people and not know where to find what or where to go. For that reason, our every helpful siting team will put you where you belong. Then you can come and meet our friendly Crow Pam, and the Information girls who will give you the welcome pack, program, etc . After that, Pam will take you all for a walk to orientate yourselves before coming back to the Club House where you can have happy hour with our fantastic volunteers.
IT IS CRITICAL YOU LET US KNOW YOU WANT TO COME IN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON so we can adjust your Squawkers’ Permit (entry pass) to show the correct day and time. If you don’t let us know it will show Friday along with the majority of the flock.
PLEASE EMAIL AND MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR NAME/S SO WE CAN MATCH IT AGAINST YOUR INDIVIDUAL BOOKING.
Immediately the site allocations are finalised,
orders for the special ANZAC SHIRT
will be going to the manufacturer.ORDERS CAN BE MADE THROUGH THE WEBSITE – LINK HERE
If you have ordered, you will receive a confirmation very shortly.
>From now on the Crow Chronicle will obviously be more frequent …. so watch your mail boxes and hopefully we won’t end up in the junk bin!
Back to catching up and looking forward to a great time again in 2019.
Chrissy, Jim, Grant and our wonderful team who make it all happen.
