Guarantee your booking by attending a week which has space, but if you can't we advise joining the waiting list as we often have spaces opening up - e.g. spaces that may have been reserved for Nobs (attendees who have done training and are there to help facilitate the week) that are filled from existing participants, or the waiting list. To join the waiting list, send an email to bookings@bogongroverchalet.org.au indicating which week you want.
