Details of accommodation as given to me by George.

For Juniors only each room is $90 a night with three occupants each junior getting Continental breakkie - if a fourth kid goes in that is additioal $20.

Adults - $120 per room per night if third adult goes in extra $50 - all adults get full breakfast.

Only people staying at the Chalet can use Chalet facilities.

My addition now- no one is forced to stay in chalet, but it would help the tournament alot if you did.

Hi All,

All accomodation Bookings re Chalet are to be made to Natasha Solczaniuk on

The Administrative details are being developed at a fast pace and final information will be given to Jeo to then launch the Website which will have online entry only with payment option. You may print the Entry Form but you cannot submit it without Credit Card payment or you can send in the completed entry form with payment to a PO Box number which is being arranged now.

The 5,000 Hardcopy entry forms tourney conditions and colour brochures will be distributed hopefully by the second definitely the third week of August.

Jenni Oliver is arranging for Schools Finals info to go out to states/territories etc and is the contact re Schools Finals matters.

Kerry Stead is the contact re Australian Junior and Garvin Gray the contact re Australian Open and Minor.

Further information will be available with the launch of the Website (thankyou Jeo) which will happen probably in about two weeks - basically its up to us Organisers to get the info to Jeo after some tweaking.

If people wish to call me about anything relating to the Organisation or otherwise of the three chess events call me on 0414841575 or email me on georgeshoward@hotmail.com

Hi All,

If you are thinking of staying at Chalet for the Chess Tourneys book NOW.

A few of the rooms with kitchens have already been booked for the whole month - so be warned first in best dressed - these rooms really are very very good value but suit yourselves.

Regards
George Howard
