When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: 2017 FB EK nationals in Launceston Tasmania
No use going for a weekend, would have to go for a minimum of a week to make it worthwhile so unfortunately I'll be a no show again, cost is too much for us as my other half is having her hours cut again next year, back to three days a week. And factor in any time off outside of school holidays if approved needs to be made up in her own time as they wont give unpaid leave. So Nats trips once the EK is done will be limited to short trips till the wife can find a new job....
That and I really need to get the EK back on the road.

We have been going to the nationals since 2004 only missing (2005 due to shifting house), this is by no means anywhere near the most expensive nationals we have gone to.(most have cost a whole lot more)
