Where: Hanmer Sptings Forest Camp, 243 Jollies Pass Ropad, Hanmer Springs,
What: a weekend get-away for like minded people. Surrounded by forest and mountains and only 2.3kms from the centre of the Alpine Village. The Forest Camps is a wonderful smoke-=free venue to get away from it all.
Facilities: Our hosts, club member Elizabeth & Selwayn Meaclem, have put aside one lodge, a few forestry huts and camp sites at very generously discounted rates ($20-00 per person per night for accommodation in the Lodge and $10-00 per person for a tent site). There is also an option for a self-contained unit (one queen size bed and a single) for $75-00 but there is only one of those available. All ablutions, kitchen and lounge rooms are heated.
Bookings: Your accommodation booking is your registration for this event. Bookings for specific accommodation types are on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. The Forest Camp will do their best but may offer you an alternative accommodation type if one type is over-subscribed.

When you make your booking please let the Forest Camp know you are a BMWOR Member attending the South Island RAG Rally to ensure you get the discounted rate.
