Plan to Go.
Book
early and save.
TIPS ON BUDGETING
Budgeting tips gathered at the recent Music Theatre Forum
in Ballarat:
- Jenny Caire (Vic Chapter) suggests logging
onto the Virgin website at 12 noon every day as special deals
are posted at that time. You never know what is going to
come up but the deals are great and you may just get a bargain
flight to Perth for the conference.
- Curtis Bayliss (Vic Chapter) recommends
putting aside the fee from one private student per week from
now until the conference, thus paying most of your expenses. |
