The Venue The Show will be held at the South West Italian Club, 20 White Street, East Bunbury, WA. There is plenty of space outside for car parking and plenty of space inside for the 60+ entries, dealers (stamps, coins, & ), youth, information and tables, as well as a refreshments area.

Free Shuttle Service We will be operating a free shuttle service between the Show, to and from the City Centre, Train & Coach Passenger Terminals as well as the main hotels and motels at key times. Simply advise us of what you need (either beforehand or at the show – please give us some notice) and we will do our best to come up with a suitable schedule.

Accommodation Bunbury is a medium sized City with several accommodation options that can be accessed via the various internet hotel search facilities or by contacting the Bunbury Visitor Centre on (08) 9792 7205.

The Organising Committee has inspected some of the options and as a result is prepared to recommend the Quality Hotel Lighthouse (4 stars, 1.5 km from City Centre), which will be the main accommodation for the Judging Team, and the Bunbury Apartment Motel (reasonably priced, a little way out of town, room configurations that cater for singles, couples and families).

The Bunbury Apartment Motel is almost sold out. However, if you prefer to accommodation by phone then ring (08) 9721 7333, quote ‘Stamp Show Group’ and you should be offered a discounted rate for apartment or family accommodation. ~2~

Souvenirs are an important aspect of any Show. A limited number of Souvenirs is being produced, including P Stamps, souvenir covers, PNC’s and supporters' packs.

Please see the Order at the end of this Bulletin for a full list of the souvenir items on offer. Several payment options are available; payment must accompany your order.

Palmares (Awards Dinner & Prize Presentations) Don’t leave it to the last minute to book - The caterers need final numbers in advance. Tickets are $60 per person, to be ordered and paid for in advance. Please see the Order Form at the end of this Bulletin to make your booking.

The Palmares will be held on site at the South West Italian Club, commencing at 6:30 pm (for a 7 pm start).

It is a common misconception that the Palmares is a closed function only open to the invited few. This is definitely not the case. Everyone is welcome to attend. Club members, friends and relatives are especially welcome. Each exhibitor attending will be presented with their award(s). Special prizes will also be presented.

Apart from everyone having a good time it is an opportunity for the efforts and contributions of the judges and organising committee to be acknowledged. With this in mind, the Palmares is not just your average sit down dinner. Suit / jacket and tie are expected but not mandatory.

Dinner will comprise 3 courses of (as you would expect) good, wholesome Italian food. Meals will be served at the table (alternate drop). Vegetarian and other special dietary requirements can be catered for (please advise when booking). A complimentary drink will be provided on arrival. After that, drinks are to be purchased separately at the bar.

Bus Tour For those not planning to spend two full days at the Show, a bus tour has been organised.

Bookings in advance are recommended - if places are available you will be able to book on the day.

Saturday afternoon – Leaving from the Show venue at 1 pm and returning at approximately 4:30 pm (Returning in time to get organised and refreshed for the Palmares).

The tour will focus on the Ferguson Valley and (in no particular order) will include :- A stop at Gnomesville (we hope some of you will bring a gnome) Afternoon Tea and Wine Tastings at St Aidan’s Winery Stop at Wellington Mill Stop at a Local Art Gallery

The cost is $50 per person, including the afternoon tea and wine tastings. Places are limited so priority will be given to those who book (and pay) first. To secure your place, please see the Order Form at the end of this Bulletin. ~3~
