Everybody should probably keep in mind that if a mutually beneficial 3 year deal is to be struck with Thredbo - first and foremost, it needs to be in the best interests of Thredbo and Boardworld, and not individual members.

To get any deal with Thredbo - it will be in the best interests of Thredbo for the deal to go through.

Just because the management has been good for 6 months doesn’t mean the last decade’s -(insert word/s)- ... can be ignored.
I believe Thredbo have created a opportunity to do some really special things. Fingers are crossed.

But if no members go then the deal benefits no one

Loyal members should view the situation as them supporting Boardworld, instead of Boardworld supporting them.

If the deal is good enough, more people besides regular members will be inclined to come - hopefully growing the Shred over the three years into a self-sustaining event.

The thing is that it’s BW members meeting up. If there is no BW members, then it’s not really a Shred Meetup…

Regular BW members will meet up with or without the Shred.

You are right of course, and Jez will do what he can do. We now that. But no use saying anything after it’s all organised, just in case there is some room for negotiation. The shred will happen regardless, it will be awesome. And thanks Jez for getting it organised, you do a great job!

What dates can you do Azz? If you were there the 8th weekend, you wouldn’t be there the one after yeah?

If it is on the week starting the 8th, we can come up on Wednesday the 11th and stay through until Monday the 16th smile

You could get home on the 10th, drive to Chill Hill and come up with us on the Wednesday shaka

This sounds like a very good plan!!!!! shaka

Jezebel y so late ?

To secure the best accommodation/pass rates with Thredbo.

They’re only going to come to the party if it’s at a time when they’re not likely to be fully booked anyway.

The best possible rates ensure that the Shred is accessible to more people.

Combination of price, lack of crowds and good weather.

Just so I understand everyone’s availability…

Please state which dates you can’t attend (Billy, Tambo, Dylan and anyone else etc.).
