We have been using Megalong Valley Farm since 2017. It is a magnificent site owned by Glenda and Gary Lane. The site caters for groups from 5-200pax and is ideal for our needs. It is important to carefully manage Glenda.
As of December 2024 costs:
Cost Per Person:
1 night programs = (total # of pax x 1 nights x $30/night) = $0000
+
2 night program = (total # of pax x 2 nights x $30/night) = $0000
= $0000
Cost of site rental for period
We were onsite between [Date-Date}
= (Total # of DAYS /@$100/ day = $00000
Send email a minimum of six weeks prior to the program
This is a crucial email to ensure we lock away the location for our program. This email must include approx. PAX, bump in and bump out dates, as well as program dates.
Complete call 24 hours after sending email
Previous experience with Megalong Valley Farm means we need to ensure the team are 100% across the program and provide a confirmation email.
Send runsheet one-two weeks prior to the program
This needs to have the key bump in and bump out timings and details of when people will be onsite and camping. It's imperative this is sent to ensure the team are across when and for how long third party contractors will be on site.

Hi Glenda and Gary,
Hope you are well.
We've just found out the Penrith Panthers want us to run a program from them January 23-24.
We will have them down in the Megalong from about 5pm on January 23 (after a day of adventure with us), then they will depart the following morning (Jan 24).
Given it is only one night, we want the setup/ packdown to be as light as possible. All we want to set up is the Kata tent (they will set up/packdown) their own tents to save budget/infrastructure.
Also - this is a preseason training camp and they want complete exclusivity - they don't want fans and general public interrupting their bubble. Is this OK? If there are additional costs associated with this, please let us know, and we are prepared to accommodate them. These are the following dates that we will be onsite:
Set Up Dates - [DATES] (Kata tent, bathrooms)
Program Date - [DATES]
Pack Down - [DATES]
Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Note: This email should be sent by James but you can create an email draft and prepare it for him.
Additional details for computation: $25/pax , $100/day
Dear Glenda and Gary,
Hope you are both well.
First up, I wanted to express my gratitude once again for being allowed to use your beautiful property over the past 55 days. I really appreciated your willingness to accommodate us and balance the hipcamers. Once the dust settles, it would be great to catch up and have a talk about how we balance the hipcampers access and our programs.
Please find below a summary for the invoice - I have indicated the number of people who stayed on site for two nights every event and I have included its corresponding dates, the number of days onsite + the calculated invoice amount:
[CLIENT NAME] ([INSERT DATE]) - Total people - X
Participants: [INSERT PAX]
Staff: # Base Camp Staff
[CLIENT NAME] ([INSERT DATE]) - Total people - X
Participants: [INSERT PAX]
Staff: # Base Camp Staff
[CLIENT NAME] ([INSERT DATE])- Total people - X
Participants: [INSERT PAX]
Staff: # Base Camp Staff
[CLIENT NAME] ([INSERT DATE]) - Total people - X
Participants: [INSERT PAX]
Staff: # Base Camp Staff
[CLIENT NAME] ([INSERT DATE]) - Total people - X
Participants: [INSERT PAX]
Staff: # Base Camp Staff
= 000 pax x 2 nights x $25
= $0000
Also - we were onsite between [INSERT DATES] [NUMBER OF DAYS] @$100/ day = $0000
TOTAL INVOICE AMOUNT: $00,000 (incl GST)
We are truly grateful for the opportunity to work with you and for the experience of hosting our events at your property. Once again, thank you for your support, and we look forward to being back down in Spring.
Please send me the invoice and I will get it PAID ASAP.
Thank you.
Cheers,
James

We will provide them with the details of all our individual programs, the set up and pack down dates of tents and kata tents, the bump in and bump out dates of the bathroom units from Ensuites, the arrival and departure time of participants.
