To my fellow IBA members,
Such is my desire to attend the Parkes Muster I've already booked accommodation at http://www.henryparkesmotorinn.com.au/
Reseaching online showed that the motel was close to the meet location but Wotif wanted a $4 premium and the motel's online form where I was to enter my credit card details didn't display https nor the padlock that shows the connection and hence my details are encrypted, so I telephoned instead.
I was greeted by a cheery Belinda and once the booking was made I mentioned that there might be a few more booking in. Belinda ask what the occasion was for. Thinking discretion was the way to go I said my lips were sealed but informed her that Parkes was the chosen location for this inaugural meet.
She then proceed to give a 10% discount not only to myself but offered it to anyone booking in for the "inaugural meet" 2nd July 2016.
So I not only saved the Wotif premium but also by not using the motel's online booking form scored a group discount and found Belinda to be very, shall we say, accommodating. I'll take all that as a good omen for the muster!
