Manilla and District Accomodation
It is advisable to check for availability prior to arriving. When making bookings don't forget to say that you are a glider pilot ! (some places offer discounts for pilots). Unless otherwise stated, deposits are normally not required, but, if your plans change, please do the right thing and let your intentions be known.
For accommodation beyond Manilla here is the Direct Link to the Tamworth Regional Accommodation guide. Some 4 and 5 star locations in Tamworth are offering special pilot rates. See the entries for them at the bottom.
**** There is special additional accomodation for the 2007 event. Please refer to the Home Hosting/Private Rooms organiser - see below. ****
