Returning to a unique state of Equilibrium

IVe booked the date in, and so now we have a lovely big Hall with a Kitchen and toilet block, along with a big ass campign area and flat area to use for the weekend! sept 30, Oct 1, 2 and 3. Its in a beautiful location only 5 minutes from the closest Public Transport and Supermarket, or 25 minutes by car from the Adelaide GPO. We can arrange transport to and from the site from the Bus stop given a bit of notice.
We've also bought a big ass markee to use as a 2nd learning area if the workshops get too big to fit in the hall.
I was thinking we could also have a bit of a party on the saturday night if people were able to chip in for a PA...
so yeah - if you are interested in something or doing something else - say so!
and yes - there will be a large campfire, and a big fire spin.

We still have a few MINOR issues to sort out. And we are working on them.
If things don't quite go to plan.. Josh and I can show anyone who is here the wonderful sights of Adelaide and we could probably even throw in a party for you as well.
We Adelaidians can be very entertaining..

Medusa, the site that common ground is held at is only a 15 - 20 minute drive from adelaide cbd (adelaide's only little) there's plenty of hotels, motels, b&b's, backpacker hotels, and pub accomodation in the city to choose from.
Here's a couple of websites i found:
Annie's Place
YHA
otherwise just search the yellow pages for accomodation in adelaide cbd.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
