Hi All,
 
It is that time of year again when we head down the Calder Freeway to Bendigo for the annual Coliban Ekiden Relays.

This is the once a year event where we like to let our hair down after a hard day of racing (starting from Hardcourt Swimming pool running right through till we reach the Bendigo Athletics Track). This is only less than 4 weeks away.
 
This year, I am taking over the accomadation and dinner reservations.  Please let me know asap, if you are either staying overnight and for dinner or if you are just staying for dinner. I need to know asap, specially cos I need to know the numbers for both venues.
 
We are hopefully staying at the Catherdal Motor Inn and dinner at the National Hotel/Motel, yet both are to be confirmed until I have the numbers.

If I have missed anyone please pass this e-mail onto them and get them to contact me asap.

Please e-mail me, or txt or call me on my mobile.
