If this isn't a MEGA event, and I'm staying off site, why do I have to pay $65? What am I getting for my money? Where does my money go?

Have a look on the official website, there's a big concert sat and entertainment sunday. Loads of fun at no extra cost for
the kids, face painting, jumping castles etc.. plus an awesome boating adventure and more all included in your registration
as well as collector path tags, etc in your goodies bag.

And a mega event has nothing to do with whether an event should be a paid event or not. There's 100's of hours of work going into planning and organising this event, such as the PA systems, lighting, extra toilets, extra power for onsite campers, temporary fencing
etc..

For those interested the BIG Little Event is being featured as well as a general geocaching chit chat on ABC SE Radio breakfast show tomorrow with Lucy Richards for anyone whom may wish to tune in.. Cheers

A menu will be listed soon.

Thanks

Have a look on the official website, there's a big concert sat and entertainment sunday. Loads of fun at no extra cost for
the kids, face painting, jumping castles etc So is there a discount for teams without kids?.. plus an awesome boating adventure and more all included in your registration
as well as collector path tags, etc in your goodies bag.

And a mega event has nothing to do with whether an event should be a paid event or not. There's 100's of hours of work going into planning and organising this event True, but this is/should be done by volunteers. The organiser should not expect to receive an income!, such as the PA systems, lighting, extra toilets, extra power for onsite campers, temporary fencing
etc.. If the sponsorship is worked out correctly, these should be factored into the equation and be provided for at no cost to the participants.

extra toilets, extra power for onsite campers, temporary fencing costs for these things should not be passed on to participants that wish to stay off site.
