WCF Friends Dinner
There will be a dinner for Friends of the WCF on Monday 27 November
2006 at The Bridge Hotel, Echuca at 7.00pm for 7.30pm. All WCF
Friends or persons intending to become Friends are welcome. Further
details are on the WCF website.
Accommodation
The Rich River Resort facilities are heavily booked at weekends and it is not possible to provide, at the Resort, accommodation for the full duration of the event.
However the Moama/Echuca area has a large number of rooms available across a spectrum of prices.
Venue Facilities
The Rich River Resort will provide similar facilities to that provided in 1993. We will conduct the formal dinner and the presentation/farewell function at the Resort.
