CHRISTMAS FELLOWSHIP 5^TH DECEMBER

HERRING ISLAND

Hi Everyone,

With Christmas “around the corner” and the Fleet deciding to get together to celebrate “The Festive Season” on December 5 I have found our voyage to Herring Island has not been as easy as I first thought and have discovered that:

The Punt from Como to the Island starts approx. mid December and as yet Parks Victoria is unable to tell me exactly when this service will commence; as yet there is no timetable;

Captain Hamish of MV Grower (Steamboat) advises he can take us to Herring Island and pick us up at a later prearranged time. The journey will take approx. ½ hour each way and we are looking at a say a 2 hour (or longer) minimum stay. Cost is $475, so if we had 16 people this would equate to be $30 per person. Of course if we had more people cost would be less, maybe you know somebody you can invite or someone from your Club that might be interested.

My thoughts are we book MV Grower as soon as possible, so could you please indicate your agreement and commitment by 6pm, Sunday 13^th September to barbara@wcinnovations.com.au

One other scenic ferry circumnavigates the Island but doesn’t stop.

Details will follow later regarding food, payment etc.
