Scrub Stitchin'

We've been planning and scheming ever since we found out GDITC is no longer happening.
And based on the 19 responses to the survey, organising Bathurst Retreat at The Vale and attending GDITC we have worked it all out as follows 
2018 Scrub Stitchin' @ Baradine 
Thursday from 2pm - Sun 11am 
event will be held on 
1. April 5th-8th
or
2. March 15th - 18th
or
3. March 22nd -25th
At present these are our preferred dates in order of preference we are awaiting confirmation (mid June) from Camp Cypress our lodgings but we are excited and keen to see you all again.
We have organised to gather from Thursday afternoon to stitch and bitch to our hearts content until Sunday morning with all our meals accommodation and a small project for the max cost of $350/person based on shared accommodation. For those that require a private room it will be an extra $200 /person providing we have rooms available.
At this stage we require you to commit to our girly loooooong weekend away by forwarding a deposit of $20 

Georgia Ditchfield
BSB 082 533
A/C 84 728 0503
new account details on the costs/payments tab up the top
(please email once you pay and include your name in the tfr)

This deposit will be deducted from total costs but not refundable if you cancel.
We need min of 10 to go ahead with this plan.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
We have 2 starters so hope we can find some more friends to join us.
This is not a select group but invites have gone to people who have attended either GDITC or Bx Retreat several times.

If your wondering where the name came from Baradine it situated in the heart of the Pilliga Scrub and was based on a timber workers town so Scrub Stitchin' it is.
this is a closed site but we are welcome to add friends to join us if you let us know.
Sonia and Chooky

Good on you girls.....must tell JoJo that there is a new GDITC and that will explain it to her! Thank you for organizing!

Shiralee Stitches said...

Does sound good... But omg just saw on google maps how far it is for me to drive... Don't know if I'd manage that on my own.. I'll have to dream up a plan...

I'm working on my show and tell now.

With Easter Sunday being April 1st the first dates mentioned will be in the Queensland school holidays. That shouldn't affect me but it might make other arrangements busier.

Chookyblue...... said...

OMG Lynda you are going to have show and tell..........Sonia and I are in shock......lucky we were siting down to read this........
Yes middle of QLD holidays and before NSW holidays if we get our first choice........

Thanks for all the organising, let's hope no-one in my family organises weddings on the same date.

Googy Girl said...

I m in, will pay deposit in next 24 hrs, not sure if I will arrive until late Thursday night, but that's ok

Marilyn said...

I will need to wait and see what dates work out. If qld school hols it will probably be a no as I have Granny duties. But will see.........

Marilyn said...

But then again..... Plans can be made and I just might work it out, whatever the date.

Simone Harding said...

Hope not. Tell them all not to.

DAWNIE said...

Good on you girls for organising something! Like Sandy I also did the Google map thing is a l o n t way! Also difficult to get to by plane! I will keep you posted! Is great for most of you however as will be a closer distance. Am sure it will be a success!

Chookyblue...... said...

Dawnie - Oh I am sure Mr Suzie will drive you...........and he could really go the the FARM........

Marilyn put the booked out sign up now for the Thursday and the Friday............surely doing all he other days you win granny of the year.......

Marilyn said...

Lol Chioky. That sounds like a plan. At least I am used to that length of a drive. 11 hours to get home yesterday thanks to some closed roads.

Chookyblue...... said...

oh this is a long trip Marilyn......atleast your home safe........

Kylie said...

Cannot wait! And I know that road well. #baradinerocks

Chookyblue...... said...

To answer some questions.........
Yes we have the big room. That is the whole deal of the place we can book the whole lot. Plenty of room to eat and get up and move to other side to sew not unpacking repacking.......the big space has been factored into our costs..........

For a few it is less distance but for many it is about the same just different direction........

Maybe if people can let us know if your keen and obviously all will be confirmed once we nail the date......

If you know you are definitely out for some dates let us know.........

Show and Tell said...

Looking at all the comments....is this place going to be big enough?...of course it will be.... We'll just have to squeeze tighter. Organising deposit now.
