Subject: RE: Ozcatters meet at 2007 National?
Pity someone couldn't predict what they were going to do with this program in time to stop them. I suppose it's too late now. They were pretty late putting the program online this year, and some pages of the website are still last year's pages - for instance the camping page with the map from last year.

I was interested to see this year's map of the site, because last year for the first time they didn't have a performer's camping area but I'd heard there was going to be one this year. There is no information on the website that mentions anything about this.

I also heard (but can't confirm) that performers' families won't be able to camp with them in that area, which will mean in many cases that performers will have to choose to camp in the general area so as not to leave their families and partners to fend for themselves - can you imagine splitting a campervan or a tent in two? Then the organisers will look at the half-empty performers' area and say "See? hardly anyone is using it. We won't have one next year".

Wot, me a cynic? Nah!
