Rhonda SG

OK, need you all to vote, failing which I'll call on veto rights and make an executive decision! Laughing

Please note that if we go during the off-peak periods, ie. Mon-Thu, the entrance fee is $9.00 BUT, during peak periods (Fri-Sun), the fee becomes $13.00!! Shocked

So, if I change it to a weekday night, would you turn up? Or, would you rather pay extra and brave the crowd anyways? Razz

Also, Bear said that school holidays start during the week starting 12 Sep. Razz We should go before then!!

Vote! Vote!!

Rhonda SG

Sure! The garden doesn't belong to Club 30! Twisted Evil Anybody who's willing to pay the entrance fee and doesn't mind our company is very welcome to join in! Very Happy
