They will be held at Phillip Island, and I think I might go. I have free accommodation there
I like Dave1600s idea of people from all clubs getting together to organise, it would encourage more people from each state to attend rather than relyign on the majority of the attendees coming from near by. The downside will always be politics in these sorts of comings togethers, as has been in the past. You can only hope the people selected could be happy to co operate.
Last years Nats were great, I had a ball and I was happy with how well it ran. There was a slight lack of communication, but over all well run. I considered boycotting when it was announced as a zed nats with others invited, but it didn't at all feel like a zed orientated event, not even zed only categories.
