Better get my finger out and plan lol!
So, -EVERYWHERE- in Ipswitch is booked out over those 3 days, except this place. Reasonable in price too and adequately trashy + 15 minute stumble-i-mean-walk to the art gallery.
Best Western Ipswich
51-55 Warwick Road, Ipswich, 4305 QLD
$110 a night with a max of 3 people in there ($20 extra a night for the 3rd person i think)
Thoughts? or has everyone else got a place haha. Still unsure if i can afford it after some mega expenses this month >: _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

Hey all, still working stuff out but depending if my second job gets pissy about me asking for the long weekend off I may have to sit this event out.
BUT I will still have warning finished in the next week probably and if I cannot go warning and my wedge beetle can still go if somebody wants to compete with them.
I may get lucky and get that weekend off which if so I'll buy tickets and get up there but thought I would let people know that if they don't have time to get there feather done a complete bot is possibly available. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

That's bad news! If you can't make it up to the Nats, or don't have the weight limit to fly it up there, I can fit Warning in the van.

FYI if its any help to anyone's travel plans, I'll be arriving in Brisbane Friday @ 6 at via autogyro and hiring a bigass car with spare seats from the aerodrome to get to Ipswich, so i figure ill get there round 8ish at the latest.
I'm staying in Ipswich too - is anyone else? Do we have any social plans eg dinner going on? _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
