Accommodation
Allan from the Wyalkatchem Hotel is offering discount accomodation to competitors. A good idea to book early, especially if you want a motel style room over the weekends. Other alternatives include the council camping ground (caravan park). In the past teams have rented a house in town which has proved very economical. The budget concious pilot is welcome to stay at Shauns school (Liteflight) at the Enviro center. All options are very reasonably priced.
Unfortunately the Barracks will not be available for our use in 2009.
