2009 DISTRICT CONFERENCE – HUNTER VALLEY – MARCH 6, 7 & 8Mecure Logo

To secure central and comfortable accommodation we have booked 28 rooms at the “Grand Mercure Hunter Valley” (formerly known as the Tallawanta Lodge) at Pokolbin (click logo).

To secure your accommodation you will need to indicate of your intention to attend - and to commit to the accommodation cost at $314.00 per night. To simplify payment you are being asked to pay as follows:

  • $157.00 - as soon as possible

  • $157.00 - by 30 January 2009

  • $314.00 - on arrival at conference

But why not pay the combined August and January instalments, of $314.00, now to save the paperwork?!

We have also negotiated an early bird booking concession – for the first 18 to book the Grand Mercure will give double booking a complimentary upgrade to their Superior Rooms (which are normally worth an extra $40 per night. This is subject to availability on receipt of a confirmed rooming list).
