Subject: RE: Oz Catters meet @ 2005 National Festival
Easter is unusually early this year - I can't remember the last time it was in March - it's all worked out according to the moon, apparently.

As for camping gear, I expect we might be able to round some up for you. Bring your sleeping bag by all means, but you will need extra cover for those cold Canberra nights. It has been known to get down to freezing, although being a little earlier in the year may make the nights slightly warmer. The days are usually warm and pleasant though. Bring some serious warm clothing for the evenings. You will need it.

Any Oz catters going who have spare camping gear?

I haven't heard of any changes in immigration, so if you didn't need a visa last time, maybe it will still be the same. Freda might know. I'll ask her.

Let us know about Wakana, too. John or I would only have room for one person extra, so it will make a difference, but we could work around it in some way. I also wondered whether she would be able to handle camping, with her back problem. Is that still an issue for her?

I hope you can come!
